Juggernaut Clashes With The X-Men In Marvel: Crisis Protocol
September 13, 2021 by brennon
Things are heating up for fans of the X-Men and Brotherhood Of Mutants in Atomic Mass Games' Marvel: Crisis Protocol. A brand new trailer (done, once again, in the style of an excellent 90s toy/cartoon advert) showed off Juggernaut and more!

As the trailer suggests, there are plenty of great things for you to snap up in the near future. Leading the way, we have Juggernaut who is going to be rampaging across the tabletop crushing everything in his path.
Juggernaut // Marvel: Crisis Protocol
Juggernaut is another of their massive sets which gives you a towering miniature to paint up and add to your collection. It seems apt that he comes with a traffic light to bat you around with. I think that you'll find he has plenty of ways to throw you into terrain and in turn throw terrain at you!
Joining the X-Men to fight against the rampage of Juggernaut we have a couple of new X-Men! One of the sets comes with Rogue & Gambit.
Rogue // Marvel: Crisis Protocol
Once again, I love that these miniatures have got plenty of the 90s cartoon in their design as well as capturing their look from the comic books. I really like the dynamic look of both Rogue and Gambit (below) who are in the middle of something action-packed.
Gambit // Marvel: Crisis Protocol
Gambit was always one of my favourite X-Men. I love Wolverine of course but I also really liked the cocky attitude of Gambit. I'd love to see them bring Iceman into the mix soon too as he is very much up there as part of the top three.
Kicking the ass of everyone in his way, we also have Colossus! This Russian badass is going to be one hell of a "tank" to drop into your games.

Stepping away from the more well-known X-Men we also have Magick joining the fray. Much like with Gambit and Rogue, this pairing come in their own set.

Who wouldn't want to lunge from the depths of a magical portal to strike at their foes with a big glowing blade? One of the nice things about Marvel: Crisis Protocol is that even if you just paint up the miniatures, the heroes look amazing as display pieces.
You can see the different packs below as well as the big Crashed Sentinel Terrain Pack. That works particularly well with both Rogue and Colossus!

If you'd like to know more about what Atomic Mass Games have planned, they also put together more videos over the weekend looking at the future of Marvel: Crisis Protocol...

As Gerry has pointed out to us, there are now so many characters available for Marvel: Crisis Protocol that you could easily play out proper hero vs villain encounters now. I think the X-Men, in particular, would be ace to snap up!
Are you going to be snapping these up?

YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! Instant buy on the entire wave (miniatures, not the scenery). I was not expecting to get Magik this soon, but shipping her with her brother is an outstanding move. I’d’ve prefered her New Mutants outfit as that’s the one I’ve grown up with, but I’m already overjoyed she’s joining the roster as she’s my absolute favorite marvel character. Colossus, Rogue and Juggernaut are also favorites of mine and with Gambit we are but a Jubilee short of the 90’s cartoon roster. Watching the rest of the video’s at a later time. Very curious what they’re up to, since Magik… Read more »
Yeah they made it sound during the stream like both the Blackbird and a Quinjet are going to get terrain kits. They had a Quinjet just casually sitting as a terrain piece during a demo game.
Hmmm, that might actually be tempting as far as terrain goes. I can appreciate they make most terrain for those not into making it myself, but most I will make most stuff.
Keeping in an eye out. Depends a bit on size and costs. Depends on what version of the Quinjet too, but this blackbird looks good.
Was anybody else hoping for A vinnie jones Juggernaut????
No. An Emphatic No.
My comic collection started with Excalibur in the 80’s, expandedint into X-Men. Those are some good packs and logical pairing with the southern lovers and Rasputin kid’s…
However… when I saw the story I was hoping for a new starter set, not the overpriced twin packs.
I bought the Crisis Starter which was a decent price for 10 minis and scenery, but everything after has been far too expensive for what you get in the expansions.
So until they do another starter with 10 different figures I guess my starter box will gather dust.
Gambit and Rogue should be a fantastic pairing in game.
Those look really impressive. That said Gambit has familiar looking pose. Like I have seen that pose before on some HeroClix Gambit.
to be fair… that’s a typical comic pose for him when he’s flinging cards. I like Magik pose. Maybe they will do a ‘Darkchilde’ version of her one day. Madelyne Pryor as Goblin Queen would be cool too, but as I said… until they do a new starter (or I win lottery) this collectible game is out of price range. Edit: Just found out that they are releasing some free to print cards later this year for characters that are changing.. good new for heroclix owners with a budget who want to expand the roster of heroes and villains at… Read more »
Yes please…..????
I’ll take them all!
Looking good Atomic Mass Games.
