New skirmish game based on the MArvel Universe from Atomic Mass Games.

I am spotting some nice urban scenery for modern wargaming in some of the preview photos. If the scale is not totally off.
-
Some sources are saying 40mm scale (similar to the oop knight models marvel figs?)
Still looking really nice. I'll bee picking some up for sure.
-
35mm scale would be preferable, as most superhero boardgames and Knight Models use it.
-
Is atomic mass games part of FFG? or is this a collaboration of sorts?
-
Interesting.
Hopefully more long lived than the last game.
I guess we will have to wait for sizes.
-
Looks good from what I can see.
But another stupid scale.
Guess people just wont be happy till it is 1:1 scale.

Asmodee owns both FFG & Atomic Mass Games. So they are siblings so to speak. I expect Asmodee is who has the Marvel license. FFG does the Marvel card game, AMG does the Marvel miniature game.

Hard plastic :)

Will Pagani (former Privateer Press employee) is now working for Atomic Mass Games, which I think is a good thing for the rules.

How so?

That is reassuring.

Because Privateer Press do a surprisingly good job with their rules

I just noticed that Will Shick is listed as "Head og studio", thats 2 former PP guys.
PP are good at writing tight and clear rules for tournament games.

Dallas Kemp too.
I'm very tempted to sell off my Knight Models DC collection for this.

Yeah, I'm all in on this. Me and my son are enjoying the Lego Marvel games on our PS4 a lot now (and he has a ton of actual Marvel Lego) and this seems the best way to get into the Marvel scene with a solid rules set (Warmachine is still the #1 game for me IMO) and excellent miniatures.
And they already showed Groot, so my boy was totally excited. Can't wait for this one!
-
Just noticed that the site is already up and the rules are available for free:

Good spot.
Interesting rules.
Interesting choice of custom D8s.
The figure size is still a concern, not for compatibility with other figures, but for terrain.
I can reuse most of my "28mm" scale buildings etc for "28mm" games, but stuff like Malifaux and WWX require larger scale buildings.
TTCombat sort of bridges the gap of 28mm and Malifaux type scales.
WWX does need 40mm scale buildings, TTCombat looks a bit small.

Comparison pics with a Primaris Space Marine (and another figures that I can't really identify) :\

Thanks, now I will need to find a Primaris to Womble comparison (Greater Wombles were a purchase too far ^__^).
-
40mm looks about right for Redskull :?
If the rules are solid, I suppose I could use them for my 35mm boardgame minis.

That other mini appears to be a resin mini from the Fallout Wasteland Warfare game.

40mm is rare for wargaming but I am not concerned.
First, the scale is close to O-Scale railroad models or ~1:48. My brother is huge into railroad modeling and I have been to many railroad shows with him and you can get buildings and other terrain accessories for relatively cheap when molded in plastic.
The play surface even for tournament rules will be a 3' x 3', that is not a very large area. Even the terrain they had at the show did not seem that big of a deal to build. Those two trains were the most expensive parts of that display but if you have a 3D printer there are STL files to print your own.
40mm IMHO will be easier to paint so I feel I will get these to the table faster. I pumped to get this but there are rumors that it may not arrive until 2020

Saw it at Gencon over the weekend. Models are a bit large, but .. well, superheroes, right? The majority of the terrain they used were O Scale buildings. I believe several of the Privateer Press guys did, in fact, jump ship from Privateer to start this game (or help develop it, or something...). I didn't get a chance to try the rules because the guys who were trying the demo were taking forever. Like 15 minutes between rolling dice. No idea what they were doing, other than making folks pretty annoyed.
They do offer some additional terrain. I saw a newspaper stand and some cars. The cars were just plastic shells. I think some toy cars would work just as well.
The Hulk is sufficiently large. My favorite, though ... MODOK.

Are the cars like the Walking Dead ones: http://ultravanillasmurf.blogspot.com/2016/12/walking-dead-all-out-war-scenery.html (http://ultravanillasmurf.blogspot.com/2016/12/walking-dead-all-out-war-scenery.html)

Yup! Almost identical. Knew there was another game company that had plastic cards, but couldn't recall which.
-
40MM you say..... nope....

The other model is from fallout I think.
Here is a knight models superhero along with a primaris and a fallout guy.

I just wanted to mention that I got my first game of this in over the weekend and really enjoyed it.
-

I agree in general, but might still get MODOK and possibly Hulk. Neither one of them are expected to be human-sized anyway, and they should be fine along with my existing 28mm supers. It's hard not to like the idea of owning a MODOK fig, even if I'll be converting it to lose the "fart cloud" thing.
-
The minis ended up not being quite as large overall as I expected.

Thats a good point, the more monstrous models might work with smaller scales.

Yeah, with supers as long as they aren't holding or standing on something that sharply defines a scale you can jam all sorts of "offsized" figs in - and that's before you consider size changers or stretchy guys. The Superfigs range from Old Glory is chock full of big 40mm plus sculpts and little 15-20mm shrinkies. Same goes for totally nonhuman stuff. How big an alien, or a robot, or even an ogre or giant?

I plan on doing the same thing. I have a ton of Heroclix that are getting rebased, but the Hulk is on that they have not had a good size available and some like Thanos are expensive and rather small. I will grab a MCP Thanos when he is released.
