If only we had the gift of foresight and could have seen marvel this coming! I’m a sucker for all things Asgardian, so to have Heimdall, Executioner and that glorious Malekith model on the horizon is most wondrous indeed. Let’s get into Heimdall’s stats and see what he brings us. STAMINA – A highly respectable…

CHARACTER SUMMARY: SHE-HULK (Jennifer Walters)
What a mini! And what escalation – we started with a steel beam and moved up through dumpsters to cars and bigger terrain – the modding was real! But is She-Hulk’s rules text as good as the mini itself, or do her abilities fall flat? Let’s see! STAMINA – As one would expect from a…
CHARACTER SUMMARY: ANGELA (Aldrif Odinsdottir)
You have no idea how long it took me to track down a reasonably priced copy of Original Sin: Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm, wherein we learn much about Angela’s origin and get to see some great Asgardian battles. Angela’s introduction into the Marvel universe is an interesting story indeed, but not as interesting…
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…
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? Let’s see. STAMINA – 6, nice and chunky. MOVEMENT – Sweet, nourishing, wondrous long. SIZE – 3, which surprised me a little. But…
CHARACTER SUMMARY: MYSTIQUE (Raven Darkhölme)
Mystique has the potential to be a tricky one design-wise. After all, how on earth do you design a character who can be anyone? Let’s see if AMG managed it… STAMINA – Mystique has a respectable 5 stamina. MOVEMENT – Long, woohoo! SIZE – 2, as expected. THREAT – 3. DEFENCES – A classic 3-threat…
CHARACTER SUMMARY: MAGNETO (Max Eisenhardt)
This is a big one, and I, like many others, was intrigued to see how AMG would represent Magneto in the game. He is, after all, extremely powerful in Marvel lore; so have AMG managed to meet our expectations and given us a powerful yet balanced character? Is Magneto one of the best minis to…
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…
CHARACTER SUMMARY: WOLVERINE (James Logan Howlett)
He’s the best at what he does, and blah blah blah blah blah – you know the score! Like Star Wars, clickbait and coffee shops, Wolverine is everywhere; but does he justify his place on the gaming table? Let’s see… STAMINA – Wolverine starts off strong with a whopping 7 stamina which, considering his threat…
CHARACTER SUMMARY: STORM (Ororo Munroe)
It’s time to take a look at the Uncanny X-Men’s second affiliation leader, and on/off wife of T’Challa, the Black Panther – Storm. What does Ororo bring to the table? Let’s see… STAMINA – 5, not as good as 6, but not as bad as 4… MOVEMENT – An entirely average medium. SIZE – 2,…
