My personal top 10 Sculpts in the game

While impatiently waiting for the updates to finally come out and something else that isn't in my control it's hard to find something interesting to write about so I asked my Discord and one of the suggestions was this: my favorite sculpts. So let's do that counting down from 10 to 1 and giving some honourable mentions at the end. Very few minis in the range are actively bad, with Captain America, First Avenger being the worst offender by far and even there it's an homage to a terrible comic cover and it does fit that.

#10: Sandman

Sandman has an imposing presence and looks very dynamic. I've added sand structure paint to mine.

#9: Ultron, Metal Tyrant

Definitely my favorite sculpt out of the Earth's Mightiest Core Set and a great representation of the character. It also shows just how much the design studio has improved in short time when compared to the OG Ultron (who honestly already looked pretty good).

#8: Lizard

Doctor Conners here has been among the top for many people ever since he released and it won't change for me any time soon.

#7: Kang the Conquerer

It is specifically with the Blaster that I just really like the Kang mini.

#6: Man-Thing

Man-Thing's sculpt just works. It's easy but very effective and makes it easy for the painter to get a good result out of.

#5: Adam Warlock

It's just impressive how imposing a model on a 35mm can look. He just stands out on the table and on the shelf.

#4: Kingpin

Kingpin is also an easy but effective sculpt. He just has a great presence to himself.

#3: Valkyrie and Elendil

Elendil obviously does the heavy lifting here but everything about the combination and the base just makes a great overall sculpt.

#2: Hulkbuster

The best sculpt for many and I absolutely wouldn't fault anyone for having him on number one but he is beat I a single model for

me personally.

Honourable mentions:

Doctor Octopus Rivals Panel

Malekith the Accursed

Immortal Hulk

Moondragon

Iron Monger

#1: Shadow King

I just absolutely adore this mini. Let's hope he can see the table a lot more after the updates hopefully give him a little push.

What are your favorite sculpts? Come and tell me on the Discord.

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: 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 ...

Ministravaganza 25 reactions

Wow Ministravaganza 25 did a lot in just 35 mins of MCP this year. Let's dive right in and see if my predictions were even close to correct: 1. Roadmap We're immediately starting out with a banger here. Everything on Iron Lads card is just very good. His builder has a "for every wild" trigger with slow and stun which are both great, his Gainer can push, his Spender can automatically reroll any number of dice, he can remove a damage or special condition for a single power, has a size 2 terrain throw and can reroll attackers dice (just for himself but still). He's an extremely well rounded 3 threat. A. The first ever 3 threat on a 65mm base! And oh my what a 3 threat that is. A good builder that can choose to be physical or energy is followed by a great spender that has a throw and an extract steal (not just drop but actually stealing) trigger, as well has a place, rerolls and damage reduction. He is confirmed to be a member of the Criminal Syndicate and will ...
