Is the game worth playing without using the actual models.
Be advised that for the 30 or so models released, that 20 or so had errata late 2016. In addition, MUMG went through at least 3 versions that I am aware of, so in all, with those things considered, it felt very much as an observer to be in a beta phase. As DCUMG progresses, knowing how patch-happy KM are, it will become increasingly distant from its forbear.
