MMBB GotG vs Weapon X











In this week's MMBB the Guardians of the Galaxy tried to stop the evil mutant menace of the Weapon X program on Skrulls/ Cosmic Invasion at 16 threat.

Star-Lord, Rocket, Groot, Agent Venom and Beta Ray Bill faced Logan the Wolverine (old Wolverine model used), Apex Victor (old Sabretooth model used), Domino, X-23 and Honey Badger. 

I took a commanding lead in rounds one and two with 5:2/ 11:3 respectively but then my squad started to evaporate.

B. made the smart play of just leaving Bill alone with his Skrull and Portal after he threw Apex of of the building in Victor's first try to do something about him. 

AV and Star-Lord handled Logan in round 2 but got (rightfully) afraid of the clap back, which they both just survived on one health but left him alone there then.

AV was my most active model and he felt really great to play. But my MVP definitely was Groot who is just an awesome 3 threat. 

In the end he couldn't hold of the onslaught of Laura, Gabby and Victor and got dazed (lost a Skrull and the Dossier) and then KO'ed in turns 3 and 4. He did daze Victor and Gabby on his clap back turn though with the plain and simply best Spender in the game.

Star-Lord made a fitting play in going hail Mary to the back D but lost the shoot out with Domino pretty horribly. Obviously having to depend on dice isn't a good play in the first place but I had higher hopes of living against her than Logan... 

Rocket was basically non existent for the entire game. Weapon X is not a good matchup for him at all it seems. 


Bill tried to hold on to the win going solo in round 5 because everybody else was KO'ed but being only a single model he could only score two points bringing me to 15 while Basti scored 6 to surpass me to 17. 

Final outcome 15:17 for the Mutant Menace. 


Next in person game (unsure if that can happen next week) will be A-Force Gold for me and probably Web Warriors for B.


See you then!


Beim MMBB dieser Woche versuchten die Guardians of the Galaxy, die böse Mutantenbedrohung des Weapon X-Programms auf Skrulls/Cosmic Invasion bei 16 Threat zu stoppen.

Star-Lord, Rocket, Groot, Agent Venom und Beta Ray Bill standen Logan the Wolverine (altes Wolverine-Modell verwendet), Apex Victor (altes Sabretooth-Modell verwendet), Domino, X-23 und Honey Badger gegenüber.

In den Runden eins und zwei ging ich souverän mit 5:2/11:3 in Führung, aber dann begann sich mein Team in Luft aufzulösen.

B. machte den klugen Zug, Bill einfach mit seinem Skrull und Portal allein zu lassen, nachdem er Apex in Victors erstem Versuch, etwas gegen ihn zu unternehmen, vom Gebäude geworfen hatte.

AV und Star-Lord kümmerten sich um Logan in Runde 2, hatten aber (zu Recht) Angst vor dem Rückschlag, den sie beide nur mit einen Lebenspunkt überlebten, ihn dann aber dort allein ließen.

AV war mein aktivstes Model und es fühlte sich wirklich großartig an, ihn zu spielen. Aber mein MVP war definitiv Groot, der einfach eine großartiges 3-threat Modell ist.

Am Ende konnte er dem Ansturm von Laura, Gabby und Victor nicht stand halten und wurde gedazed (verlor einen Skrull und das Dossier) und ging dann in Runde 4 KO. Er dazedte allerdings Victor und Gabby bei seinem Clap Back Turn mit dem schlicht und einfach besten Spender im Spiel.

Star-Lord benahm sich passend, indem er Ave Maria ins hintere D ging, verlor aber das Shootout mit Domino ziemlich deutlich. Offensichtlich ist es in erster Linie kein guter Spielzug, sich auf Würfel verlassen zu müssen, aber ich hatte größere Hoffnungen, gegen sie zu überleben, als Logan ...

Rocket war im Grunde das ganze Spiel über nicht existent. Weapon X scheint überhaupt kein gutes Matchup für ihn zu sei

Bill versuchte in Runde 5, den Sieg alleine zu halten, weil alle anderen KO waren, aber da er nur ein einzelnes Modell war, konnte er nur zwei Punkte erzielen, was mich auf 15 brachte, während B. 6 erzielte und mich mit 17 überholte.

Endergebnis 15:17 für die Mutant Menace.

Das nächste "in echt" Spiel (es ist noch unsicher, ob das nächste Woche passieren kann) wird A-Force Gold für mich sein und wahrscheinlich Web Warriors für B.

Bis dann!

Affiliation Overview: Web Warriors

  Why should you play the affiliation  Peter Parker is the single most popular character in the world. Miles and Gwen share between them the focus of the two best superhero movies of all time and are extremely popular characters in their own rights.  On the table Web Warriors are a supreme objective play team building off of their core of incredible 3 threats. They are big enough nowadays to offer different approaches too though.  How to start the affiliation  Untypically I don't think getting the affiliation pack is always the best way to start here. While Miles and Gwen are absolute core models to the affiliation, 4 threat Peter Parker will very rarely (if ever) see the table and Venom is decent but really up to personal taste. And seeing how the only real benefit of the affiliation pack is getting the additional Peter for free you can really decide if that's worth it for you. If you own core set 1 you already have the character and if you own core set 2 you h...

Affiliation Overview: Defenders (updated)

  Why should you play the affiliation  Defenders are a giant affiliation containing both the more mystic focused Defenders of Doctor Strange and also the Marvel Knights which made up the Netflix show Defenders.  On the board Defenders have a super deep roster with a tonne of great characters and some variety in play style.  How to start the affiliation Update: In Q2 2025 AMG releases the Defenders affiliation pack which uniquely comes with five models in Doctor Strange, Wong, Daredevil, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. You have to pick this pack up first and absolutely should.  After that I would first pick up Shang-Chi and Silver Sable followed by Hulk and then Namor and Black Panther, Chosen of Bast. You have your core very much there.The affiliation is very deep and has a lot of good characters but with those mentioned you have your probably most used models in hand already. Also all of the affiliated TTCs. Just note that Pentagrams of Falafel (let me have fun with t...

Affiliation Overview: Uncanny X-Men (updated)

  Why should you play the affiliation  X-Men are far and away the most popular Marvel part after the overall most popular character in the world (Spider-Man). They are not only a favourite of the community but also clearly of AMG being the faction with the most build options for their characters.  On the table they are super flexible, have a huge list of affiliated models and very strong TTCs.  How to start the affiliation  Update: from October 2025 AMG releases new single Person starter sets. One of them is the X-Men starter set:  Aside from the ten characters it also contains ten dice and the measuring tools. The X-Men starter (which is a Brotherhood of Mutants starter at the same time) is a permanent addition to the line up, whereas the Spider-Foes one will only he sold for a limited time.  The new starter set is absolutely the perfect first purchase for X-Men but until then the X-Men affiliation pack is the best starting point giving you two of you...
