CHARACTER SUMMARY: TOAD (Mortimer Toynbee)
At long last we come inexorably to the last of the 2020 Brotherhood releases, Toad. How to translate Magneto’s loyal lackey into the game? How to make someone dressed like a medieval court jester a desirable model to reach for? Let’s see. STAMINA – 5, decent enough. MOVEMENT – Medium, surprising given that he is… Read more

CHARACTER SUMMARY: SABRETOOTH (Victor Creed)
It’s time to move onto the penultimate Brotherhood of Mutants character now, namely Sabretooth. Some people call him crap-Wolverine, but is that true? And how have AMG translated him into the game?

CHARACTER SUMMARY: BEAST (Henry McCoy)
And now we come to it, the last of the X-folk for the time being. This mini was a joy to paint (except for the inside of that metallic column, urgh), but is Beast a joy to play? Let’s see… STAMINA – Beast has a nice chunky 6 stamina. MOVEMENT – Medium, but on a… Read more
