If AMG had already released everything that everyone would want at this point, people would accuse them of SKU creep and pulling a cash grab

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Me, I'm waiting for The Wrecking Crew.

It’s looks like minions may be coming to the game.

Three upcoming releases have been adding to an online store (the same that leaked the X23 / Honeybadger set).

Quinjet terrain
Nick Fury Jr & Shield Agents
Shadowland Daredevil & Elektra Ninjas

The rumour is that a set number of minions are included in the cost of the named character in the pack.

Ohhhh, come on AoS pack!

Shadowland Daredevil & Elektra Ninjas

I have zero idea what this would look like, but I'm curious to see. Elektra Ninjas is a really weird name.

Shadowland Daredevil is an evil possessed version of DD with a Black/red color palette swap.
He ruled the Hand during that run.

Elektra Ninjas could be a typo? for Elektra Natcheos, or
the familiar comic trope of clones/doubles dressed as Elektra.

So rumor is they are all on a single base and count as injured for objectives

Yeah, I know Shadowland Daredevil. Pretty solid run until the cop-out possession. I was more referring to the Elektra Ninjas thing. Hand Ninjas, absolutely. Just very odd name.

Yeah, also that they are only hired with certain models and activate alongside them. Sounds like they function more as a pet mechanic than their own model. Gabby's Johnathan token certainly feels like a prototype.

Minions sound interesting and could add a lot of cool things to the game if done properly.

Those Ninjas are from The Hand.

Electra, And the Ninjas, not hers per say.

BTW, I've heard some news... Making my last post obsolete. I was... given.... an answer. Be careful what you wish for, your wallet won't make it.

Lets just say that If you're already in the game, your good. It's going to be a great year for Crisis Protocol.

Nick Fury Jr and S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent reveal.

The fast roping Tactical Rock(tm) is an... interesting choice.

No really, why do people keep putting model's feet on rocks?

It makes for more dynamic posing while also giving the model are sturdier contact point to connect to the base.

 Wha-Mu-077 wrote:

It's tactical. Like vest pouches and dongles for your gun.

Fun fact, most of the tac rocks are the height of the curbs on the bases, so you can simply have them stepping on/off and ignore the rocks. The manhole cover 50mm would work great with no tac rope required!

IMO, it's far more egregious to have a model (usually female) with one foot serving as the contact point. I just tossed my Shuri and Wasp after their ankles broke for the umpteenth time. They were more pin than leg at that point.

My wallet is going to cry if that Quinjet is a real terrain piece they will be selling.

Excited for Nick and the Boyz(and girl) tho

Still now Hulkbuster and Kamala here in my neck of the woods tho T_T

Get your tissues.

Nick Fury and the A.G.E.N.T.S. O.F. S.H.I.E.L.D*.? I'm in.

AND a quinjet? $65 before discounts? Don't mind if I do!

Is it too much to hope there's a Classic Nick head in there too?

Probably. But I can dream.

The un-personing of Nick Fury Sr. is one of the most bizarre chains of events in comic book history. It still boggles the mind why, instead of simply killing Earth-616 Nick Fury and replacing him with the Ultimate Universe one, Marvel decided to introduce a secret Nick Fury Jr. and then turn the original one into a genocidal cosmic warlord.

If anyone here hasn't read Nick Fury's wikipedia page, I highly recommend doing so. Crazy stuff.

They confirmed on stream neither Fury nor the Agents will have options.

I'd be shocked if we don't see Fury Sr. at some point since they've been emphasising how much they wanted to keep the two separate.

Battle Scars is absolutely hilarious. Like the least subtle ham fisted story telling out there. So here's this guy, Marcus Johnson. We need to remove his eye to see if his dad is Nick Fury, but then it turns out that his mom has been in super witness protection since before he was born but for some reason they put Nick Fury Jr on his birth certificate and created Marcus Johnson as a cover name and then he joins shield along with his best buddy Phil Coulson.

I'm actually glad they made the change. Both versions are great and iconic in their own right and the end result has been some have your cake and eat it too fun. I just think the comic that made it happen is one of the clunkiest written things out there and makes me giggle every time I think about it.

I'm excited for this because it's two characters AND the grunts. Adding in Kingpin, Viper, and Bullseye into The Hand as an affiliation would be dope. Mystique, Sabertooth, and Wolverine could also be Hand.

Isn't Kitty Pryde HAND trained as well?

That image is dope and even in silhouette, the sculpts look awesome.

No. She was trained/possessed by Ogun - who has no affiliation with the Hand - Yakuza, Viper and Mister X yes but not the Hand.

Not every ninja is The Hand.

I mean... there are a lot of garbage nobody characters in the game. The Hood, Brother Voodoo, Bob, Cassandra Nova, Clea, Ronan, Sin, Viper, all terrible.

While a lot of these seem to be nobodies, they had their parts.

Also, a bit rich to be declaring Viper and Ronan nobodies. You know, considering Viper is the original Madame Hydra and Ronan the Accuser was one of the main players in the Kree-Skrull war of the 70s comics. You know, that rather big important event.
