I haven’t liked Marvel very much since I was a kid but must admit this is kind of exciting.

I’m always a fan of making terrain a first class citizen in a miniature game, but this is, what, the third or fourth Marvel miniatures game? It’s hard to get excited about another thing which is like this other thing, but now with more Captain Marvel and Black Panther. Yay!

Personally, I don’t think of *clix games and similar toy lines as gaming material. And I have never had much interest in Knight’s stuff, although bringing the Batman stuff into plastic is interesting. So for me, this might as well be the very first Marvel miniatures game as nothing that has come before was really in my wheelhouse.

Even Heroscape - though the game is a bit slight, it still has the most impressive terrain system I’ve ever seen. With better miniatures and non-collectible, these games would be amazing (like Monsterpocalypse became). HeroClix has a rather huge cult following and is a pretty complicated game.

Yeah, all the collectible stuff is well out of my area of interest, just doesn’t scratch the hobby itch that is a key part of all this for me. Fair play to people who like that stuff.

A lot of people strip the models (good old Simple Green), then repaint and base them. Turns out, the sculpts aren’t as bad as they look. Not great, but not. bad. I did a repaint on a Halo MegaBlox mini figure and the results were fantastic - it’s amazing how much detail a flat, glossy paint job obscures. But then I saw how much a collectible game can cost, and I instant rethought my opinion that GW was too expensive.



Just to get back on topic, I may get the two player starter box, depending on price. 10 miniatures plus 5 or 6 large terrain pieces won’t be cheap, but this is Asmodee, so they may price the starter competitively. I’m guessing $100 max. I’ll paint them glossy and flat, to get the HeroClix feel... A lot of people strip the models (good old Simple Green), then repaint and base them.

My understanding is Will Pagani is involved with this game/company. He was one of the top competitive Warmachine players for awhile and went on to be a rules developer for Privateer Press for a year or so before he left there to work on his own game.

Really excited about this release. I was devastated when the Knight Model line was discontinued, because the models were amazing.



A full release in PLASTIC, with a well known trendy IP and competitive game developers gives me high hopes that this will succeed.



I'm all in at this point, if only because of the minis and terrain. PLEASE BE GOOD.



If anyone's at gen -con who can demo the game, please try it out and give us some feedback on game mechanics!

On closer inspection, it actually looks like there's some partnership with FFG ?



IF so, that bodes well for the game, FFG has had great game design so far, and awesome prize support/competitive formats.



Really looking forward to seeing some reporting/information from audience members at gencon.

Seems like Atomic Mass Games, like FFG , is also owned by Asmodee.

This actually looks pretty cool. I am pretty sick of Marvel movies (there are just too many at this point - except for Guardians of the Galaxy), but a proper miniatures game could pretty fun. I'll be eagerly awaiting to find out more about this.



The only con I see so far is Doc Oc in the starter instead of one of the Goblins or Mysterio (I was a Spiderman kid growing up).

This looks so exciting. I was devastated after the Knights Models line got dropped as I'd been wanting marvel minis for year. Are these pre-painted models though? I would really love to be able to paint them my way.

I am interested in this, but with Legion FFG decided to change scale from previous versions of the game.. Star Wars by WotC, Knight models and Imperial Assault

all had a compatibility scale, but Legion models look like giants and very hard to mix together with my older collect and not in the mood to rebuy it.



Scale is very important to me as the quality of the miniatures. Asmodee and FFG has improved their quality of sculpts but this still keeps me in the wait and see zone.

Main issue with scale for me is that I already have a load of city terrain for Batman/ DC and Walking Dead. I really don’t want to have to start again due to a 20% scale increase.

It's more than just Pagani. When PP had that mass exodus of developers a little while back; rumor was they were starting their own company. Looks like we know what lured them away.
