Take aways from the 2026 Timelines Document

 

In the wides of the Web the 2026 timelines Document has been spotted and while I don't have a lot of interest in the format itself seeing as I'll absolutely never have a chance to play it (the intended way) myself there's still some conclusions to draw from it: 

Affiliations for new characters: 

Blue Marvel: Mighty Avengers (not listed in Defenders, though we have one precedent of a character having had different Affiliations in timelines in Killmonger 2)

Spectrum: Mighty Avengers 

Moondragon: Avengers, Defenders, Guardians of the Galaxy 

Quasar: Guardians of the Galaxy 

Adam Warlock: Guardians of the Galaxy 

Valkyrie & Elendil: Asgard

The Warriors Three: Asgard 

Rescue: A-Force, Avengers, SHIELD 

Iron Monger: Criminal Syndicate, Cabal

Iron Lad: Unaffiliated (he'll be Young Avengers when they come out at the end of the year or whenever that's actually going to be)

Kang, the Conquerer: Cabal (leadership) 


New TTC and who I think they'll belong to:

Corporate Espionage - Iron Monger 

Cosmic Awareness - Adam Warlock 

Danger Management - Rescue

Data Backup - Rescue or Iron Monger? 

Deeds Worthy of Song - The Warriors Three 

Guns Blazin’ - Guardians of the Galaxy ?

Power Couple - Quasar and Moondragon Team Up 

Ride of the Valkyries - Valkyrie and Elendil 

The Best Defense - Adam Warlock (leadership)?

The Douglas Family - Drax and Moondragon Team Up 

 The Magus - Adam Warlock 

Trust No One But Yourself - Kang 


Will be interesting to see if I'm right about the cards but even if I am not there's definitely a bunch of them and I'm excited to see what they'll do. 


That's it for today.

Cheers from Germany 🍻

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...
