Adepticon 26 predictions

 

Adepticon 26 is approaching fast and here is what I expected we will see during the MCP Roadmap Panel: 

1. Updated Stat Cards for the Re Releases 

There is a good amount of Hopium involved here that we will get the document right after the Panel and won't have to wait for an unspecified date sometime in May like last year... We know there are updates coming to Ant-Man, She-Hulk, Omega Red and Mister Sinister at the very least and more Stamina buffs across the game where also clearly mentioned at Ministravaganza 25. 

2. New Single Person Starter Sets 

I've detailed in this article how I think future Single Person Starter Sets will look like and I'm about 100% certain the Guardians one will be shown at Adepticon and Asgard has a high chance of being the second for this year. Potential rejoice for anyone looking to find a Beta Ray Bill model. 

3. Wonder Man

I've been predicting him for a long time and was never right before but the reasoning remains the same: he appears on multiple TTCs already. AMG usually doesn't go for MCU synergy but if it just so happens to align that's not a bad thing either is it? 







4. Scorpion 

Basically repeat the entire paragraph from Wonder Man. He was the main bad guy in the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man animated series. 






5. More New Mutants 

Something that is a guaranteed success for AMG in terms of sales is anything Mutant related. We will get the X-Factor pack, which includes Danny Moonstar, Onslaught and the new Sentinels but I would be surprised if there isn't going to be a another Mutant centric release on the Road Map. And my best guess for that is more New Mutants. There's a bunch of them appearing on their TTCs not yet in the game and all are very likely candidates. Maybe a four pack is on the horizon: 


Wolfsbane


Warpath, Cannonball, Boom-Boom, Siryn


Cannonball, Wolfsbane, Magma, Cypher



6. My personal wishes with little to no specific reason they could be on the way 

With Adam Warlock, Phyla-Vell and Moondragon out we only need Cosmo, Mantis and Major Victory (that's probably too long a shot) to have all characters of the original Abnett Lanning cosmic run. And of course the big bad guy, that started it all in Annihilus would be awesome too. 

Sam Alexander, the younger, way less interesting Nova, has appeared on a TTC and I would definitely like him getting into the game as well. 

Earthbound my biggest wish remains Dane Whitman, the Black Knight. 

And on the mutant side? There my biggest wish is on the way already in the form of Multiple Man. 
I think I would go for a 5 or 6 threat Storm here as my new wish. Even though releasing new characters is always more fun than variants I feel Storm would really deserve proper representation on the playing field. 
But also Sauron is the best stupid idea ever brought onto a comic panel so I'd be very happy to have him in the game as well. 

Edit: 7. Stat Card reveals:
Assuming we will get Panel to Plays for the new Sentinels beforehand I would expect to see at least one of the two X-Factor leadership characters (Havok and Multiple Man) shown of with the stat card as well as Jubilee and/or Danni Moonstar. All four would of course be even greater. 
And I am pretty sure we'll get the front side for Onslaught previewed here. 
There are a bunch more characters on the Road Map already that might be shown off with rules like Red Hulk, Sensational She-Hulk, Leader, Blackheart and the Young Avengers but we have no timeline for their planned releases at all so it will depend on that if we see some stat cards. 

Bonus. Will this be the year F4 and Dr. Doom are finally revealed? 

I've stopped predicting that entirely. AMG has made it clear time and time again, that it isn't on them that we don't have them in the game yet. All I'm going to predict here is that whenever they are finally able to announce these characters to us it's going to be with a live audience at Adepticon. Is it going to be this year, next year or 2028? We will see... 

That's it for today. 
Join the SGP Discord server and tell me who you want to see on the Road Map. The deeper the deep cut the better! 

Cheers from Germany 🍻

Affiliation Overview: Spider-Foes (2026 update)

  Why should you play the affiliation  Are you a somewhat of a scientist yourself? Do you like crushing arachnids? Do you love making overly complicated plans and see them ruined by a teenager?  Spider-Foes are a super fun faction, which boosts the best looking line of miniatures in the game and a very fun and unique play style with tricks and traps.  How to start the affiliation  As long as it's available you absolutely start with the Spider-Foes Starter set. It's the so gle best deal in MCP and probably all of tabletop wargaming.  The only characters you're missing out of the affiliation after that are:  Kingpin (available in the Criminal Syndicate Affiliation pack, which is a good additional pick up after the starter set)  Doctor Octopus (available in the Spider-Foes Affiliation Pack or Rivals Panel)  Doc Ock, Sinister Scientist (available in the Earth Mightiest Core Set, a good additional pick up if you need terrain) Venom (currently de f...

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: Web Warriors

  2026 Update in progress  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 a...
