DLC Inc posted:goddamn how did you get those guys already, it still says they are in "preorder" mode everywhere I look They've been out in Europe for a bit, but not hitting anyone else yet. I think the US has the Omega Red & Jean Grey/Cassandra Nova boxes when nobody else does, but I'm not sure. One of the podcasts I listen to was fairly recently talking about how Australia hasn't had a release in months and is still waiting on the Inhumans. Distribution is all messed up!

DLC Inc posted:Sidenote but the latest minis have also been vastly easier to assemble and paint, as well. I remember Doc Ock in the core set have like 10 goddamn skinny pieces for his tentacles and ended up gluing them wrong, or some of the other earlier models having really poorly defined detail lines. Compare that to the Omega Red mini I just put together---both of his tentacles are whole pieces; no other assembly required, you just glue them to his wrists and that's it. I agree with you for the most part, but I had so much trouble with Jean Grey's little X-shaped energy stand thing that I trashed it and ended up pinning her to a piece of bark instead. I don't know what it was, but something about how that was supposed to go together eluded me. edit: Get the core set once you find it for a discount, it's got multiple characters that see plenty of play (Zemo, Red Skull, Captain America, Black Widow) in it and by the time you buy the rulers and dice and stuff you're not coming out super far ahead anyway

DLC Inc posted:Just hoping they uh revamp Ock's stat card because he is probably in the bottom 5 characters in the game. I think they should definitely not do rules updates in a product like this, a sort of DLC-esque "upgrade kit" for people who are already into the game a lot.

I've found that with a lot of the harder to assemble MCP models, the key is to leave the tiny pieces on the sprue and use it as a third hand to glue the other part to it, then snip it off. Helps a ton with stuff like Star Lord and Shuri.

Dawgstar posted:So I've been watching a lot of tier list and tactic videos and like to pass the time and I'm curious, mostly because I haven't really gotten everything down, as to why Gamora's considered bad or at least below average. It's not really that she's bad, it's more that all she does is hit people. She's in the 4-cost slot, which is incredibly competitive, and just doesn't really bring enough to the table for competitive teams to take her over the staples for that price. It might be different if the GotG affiliation wasn't complete crap, but alas.

HebrewMagic posted:Just got some models to work on until I get the core box on my next paycheck. Got Taskmaster and Punisher, I wanted to do up Thanos first but my local game shop was charging a solid $15 higher than MSRP and gently caress that honestly. I'm not worried about min maxing perfect comp list poo poo for either of these guys, I just got em cuz they're cool, but are they any good on the table? They're fine, nothing really special. I'd like to try Punisher in a Sam Wilson Avengers list as another bonus to people getting dazed.

DLC Inc posted:There was some kind of obscure leak a while back suggesting 3 or 4 characters would have a special minion trait---Red Skull and SHIELD were on there so I'm guessing Hydra/Shield/Shadowland/something else would be part of this. Also guessing minions wouldn't be able to hold points and poo poo so I wonder what that will look like, especially since I assume minions will have like, less than 3 HP and like one attack. I don't really want minions at all but if we get them I hope they're like the Jonathan the Unstoppable card in the X-23 box where they're not "really" a character but they can do certain things. I feel like the action and turn economy is too tight in this game for something that's even swarmier than Sam Wilson Avengers.

srypher posted:So I tried to play the Ultron Cosmic Threat on TTS to test out the game, but hit a bit of a wall w/ how to resolve the Doomsday Machine. It says to consult the Cosmic Threat player card for the effects of each result, but there's nothing in the Cosmic Threat assets in TTS or anything that I can find w/ some simple Google searches. Which is weird, because it does include the AI flowchart, rules reference etc. Is there something that comes in the Core Box that I need/am missing? I think they're here: https://static1.squarespace.com/sta...ds_UltronAI.pdf

"Professional assembler" aside, some of the models really are a pain in the rear end. I built Honey Badger yesterday and there's no real excuse for her head to be three parts.

Web warriors are super cool, just be aware that they trend towards a more control-focused play style which may or may not be your thing. Also Black Cat is bananas good so definitely get that box.

rantmo posted:Is there still something funky with the Fantastic Four's rights? I remember back when Marvel Heroes was a thing they had to pull the FF from sale and unlocking for some obscure rights related issue. It was literally because Marvel wanted to stop letting people use the Fantastic Four while they didn't have the movie rights (they even canceled the comic for a while). That's all sorted out now so I assume AMG will get to it when they get to it.

I've been hearing some love for Crystal lately, especially paired with Shadowland Daredevil to give you more chances to hit conditions. Dropping stuns and incinerates with some regularity helps out an attrition team a lot.
