I love the Inhuman innate power. And the Leadership is better than I originally thought since it's once per round and not turn.

Looks like a contender to me.

The way things are going, Expect the big names first, then they will shore up the others as they develop them.

Shang Chi, Power Man and Iron Fist, Kingpin's crew, etc.

Now that your seeing X Men, Expect X men villians.

You have to remember, these guys are clipping along in this COVID zone, so expect some more delays as they push forward.

If I were a betting man though, With She Hulk? I'd Expect to see Fantastic Four sometime in the near future.

Dr Doom, etc...

There was a leak a while back of some upcoming character packs that thus far appears to be legitimate:

CP33 - Dormammu
CP37 - Black Cat and Amazing Spider-Man
CP48 - Moon Knight and Blade
CP51 - Sentinels Raid?

These were also on the list and have been officially teased in some way:

CP38 - Captain America (Sam) and War Machine
CP45 - Deadpool and Bob, Agent of Hydra
CP46 - Mister Sinister
CP47 - Cable and Domino
CP49 - Luke Cage and Iron Fist
CP50 - Mysterio and Carnage
CP63 - Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver

Also, we don't have any real previews, but Jean Grey and Juggernaut were both listed as members of their respective mutant teams, so they're probably on the list somewhere.

Medusa card:
https://twitter.com/atomicmassgames/status/1354822625650823171/photo/1

As a whole, Inhumans look like an aggressive team, focusing on taking the fight to the enemy team.

Medusa herself looks like a front-line beater. I can see her making her way into a number of rosters with her defense, rerolls, and movement from a throw and a basic attack that grants pushes.

Medusa is very middle of the pack in terms of power, but her ability to move models is one of those things that someone is going to unlock and run with. She's easy to overlook, but I wager we'll see some serious turn 1 plays involving her.

I would say one of my first thoughts is using her with wasp to get some crazy movement.
Or Ghost rider for something involving Highway of the damned.

I think Medusa is the Inhuman battery. remember with a free reroll on attacks and defense, she is essentially 4 defense on everything and her base attack is effectively a strength 6 at range 3 and flurry. There's good possibility for 4 attacks with pushes in a round.

All that possibly generates enough for a Hair Flip through and a Royal Decree move (So she does not have to use a movement and allow more attacks) and still have enough to pawn off a power to another Inhuman.

Geeze, I wasn't even thinking that her builder has flurry and a reroll. That's a lot of potential power generation to either use or move around. I could see her even having a place in Cabal where you do a Braid Bash with Flurry, move two range 3 enemies into range two and if you have 9 power at that point throw another range 3 enemy into a range 2 enemy and then attack all three with Split Ends and end your activation with another 3 power.

Two shadowy silhouettes on the twitter. Who could they be?

I've been asking around and the best guesses people seem to have are Sin (Daughter of Red Skull) and Viper (aka Madam Hydra).

Which I guess would fit as a themed character double pack.

Really tough calls. My gut reaction is that the second one is Psylocke. Not sure though; it looks like a pistol in her left hand but it could be a second katana at a funny angle.

The first one is really hard. Sin is a decent guess following the legacy of evil comment. What we can see from the silhouette fits her costume to a T as well. My long odds guess would be Lady Mastermind, if for some reason the first one was actually Psylocke and they were in a pack together.

I don’t see Psylocke at all. Model looks like it has a gun, and that’s not her bag.

Plus, we know a few of the upcoming X Men, and she’s not oh the list. Not that it’s impossible, but I think this is a Hydra double pack, Sin and Madame Hydra or Viper.

Crystal card up.

A bit of a flexible turret. Onslaught and Empowerment make her a fun piece.

How would you build an All-the-Conditions list?

She doesn't immediately wow me. A lot of unreliable attacks at only Str4 and needing wilds to trigger conditions. She builds power slowly (but reliably) though she only needs to be shared one power to start a chain as long as she's stationary.

As far as a conditions team, Hawkeye is probably the go to choice. He's Crystals biggest competition by far in that arena. Defenders in general can put out a lot of hex to stack up conditions, though her slow combines nicely with All Webbed Up.

Lockjaw is up:

https://twitter.com/atomicmassgames/status/1357360788323905536/photo/1

Instant Avenger? He can teleport two characters a turn as long as he can activate Who's a Good Boy" (allied character within range 2) and uses the Avenger leadership to reduce power cost.

Dang. I was trying to figure out the hype until I got to "Who's a Good Boy" - what a fun support character. I might run him in Defenders, I like using Pentagrams to get a tank like Ghost Rider up midfield first turn, having a character that could do that every turn (!) is pretty great. He should still be able to teleport twice anyway - one power in the power phase, plus three for Good Boy, leaves you with enough for two teleport actions.

I'm a fan of Bloodhound actually, it doesn't have a max range and it would fit with Defender's power boosting.

He can do that in any affiliation. He gets 3 from Good Boy and 1 power normally at the start of the round for the 4 total required. In avengers he can Bloodhound and Teleport though, which is likely also very powerful.

I thought he was absolutely terrible until I reached the bottom of the card. That power gain is crazy and gives him a ton of options. If nothing else, he's a great battery for the Inhuman leadership.

He's probably a little better on paper than in practice though. He would probably be a good backline camper but he doesn't really have any use for his actions in that role and someone else needs to be with him anyway. He's likely going to have to activate, Teleport someone, then run into danger to avoid getting caught without a charger. Really cool overall though, probably the best all around Inhuman.

Panel to play for Deadpool. Not much new here other than confirmation that he will be healing 2 a round and therefore another target for Exceptional Healing.

I'm surprised it's taking so long to get around to a S.H.I.E.L.D. themed release period.

Looks like we're getting Hydra soon with Viper and Sin.

I am surprised we haven't seen Daisy and Nick Jr. yet.

Isn't Agents of SHIELD over now? That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Sin was confirmed to have a new Cabal leadership. No news on what it will be.

It was HEAVILY implied that Omega Red is eventually coming to MCP.

Daisy was originally comics though, and can be a good crossover team member for SHIELD and Inhumans.

MCU Fury's an Avenger in all but name to most people and still showing up in just about every film and Sharon Carter's going to be a major character the Falcon/WS show most likely. I don't think the MCU has much relevance to their releases, since the Daredevil lot (and Punisher) came out recently despite their shows being cancelled a few years ago.

Fury and Daisy both have artwork on cards already. Black Widow's already got a S.H.I.E.L.D. alt-version. That's why the delay is so surprising to me.

I think it has some relevance, not much but some.
I mean, why else would Shuri and Okoye be among the first releases. And the guardians where popular too so those guys came out fast. Along with Valkyrie and Hela.

Supposedly Sin comes with a second Cabal leadership.
It seems like Cabal might just be their Hydra affiliation.

No new affiliation for Luke. Hoping he's got a second Defenders leadershiper.

Cage and Iron Fist confirmed for April. Deadpool moved from March to April. I'm assuming Sin and Viper will be in April as well.

https://www.twitch.tv/atomicmassgames
Good stream here where Cage and Iron First were being painted by the team at the same time.

You are going to want to pin Iron Fist. THAT is not going to fly after your first two games...

Just saying. (Well, it might fly, just not the way you think. )

I was selling mine, but I think I'm going to hold onto it and keep going with it.

What a great looking upcoming events, I think I'm impressed. (Not by Inhumans, but that X Men run is pretty tight.

Yeah, I already had a bad enough experience with Storm that I'm not going to touch that Iron Fist with a barge pole.

They also posted up Cable and Domino in the new release batch. I'm sure those two are supposed to launch with DP and Bob.

I've been rather impressed with the durability of the plastic. My cat sent Ghost Rider flying off the table. He came loose from the base and had to be glued on but the chain didn't break or anything.
