Affiliation Overview: Weapon X (updated)

  Why should you play the affiliation? Do you like Wolverines backstory? Well this is the faction for you then.  On the board Weapon X offers the ability to play a wide attrition game which is rather uncommon but also strong.  How to start the affiliation  PSA: If you want to get into this game for a low money investment, this is the wrong place sadly. You have to start by swallowing the price tag of the Logan, the Wolverine and Sabretooth, Apex Predator rivals panel. It’s very expensive but here at least the terrain is fully usable, it comes with TTCs you absolutely need and both characters are really good and often splashed in many other places too. Next up I’d grab X-23 (leader option) and Honey Badger. The new Maverick and Weapon X (the character, who is also a leader option. Don’t worry, there’s a TTC with (almost) the same name too, so that surely won’t confuse anyone…) pack should also be high on your priority list. And then you’ll have to swallow another big ...

Affiliation Overview: Wakanda (updated)

  Why should you play the affiliation  The first film is one of the best overall in the MCU, Black Panther is an awesome character and diversity is always great.  On the board Wakanda offers a whole bunch of affiliated TTCs and a small but strong crop of characters with no less than four different leaderships.  How to start the affiliation  You start with the excellent Wakanda affiliation pack, which comes with four of your nine available characters in Black Panther, Killmonger, Shuri and Okoye. It’s by far your best purchase for the affiliation because from now on it starts to get much more difficult. M’Baku and Klaw (unaffiliated) is probably next on your shopping list. If you want to run Storm (who isn’t bad here) you can either look for the X-Men affiliation pack or her old pack with just Cyclops. The affiliation packs are much better value so I’d look for that one myself. Black Panther, Chosen of Bast and Namor is also a good pick up. It gives you another d...

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...
