Knight Models Show Off Marvel Game Rosters For Avengers & X-Men
February 7, 2016 by brennon
Knight Models have now shown off the rosters for both the X-Men and the Avengers who will be leading the way as part of the Marvel Miniatures Game which should be coming out later this year. I'd warrant we keep an eye on the release date of Captain America: Civil War perhaps (or maybe just the end of February)?
First off we have the Avengers who come with Thor, Captain America, Iron Man and Black Widow. I can understand why they didn't drop Hulk into this set as not only is he a rather massive model but I could imagine him working as a one person wrecking machine.
Next up we also have the X-Men Starter Set which contains...
...Rogue, Cyclops, Wolverine and Colossus. This is a really neat set and I like the choice of heroes here. Even though I would probably HAVE to go for the Avengers just to have Thor on my side it's hard to pass up Wolverine, Colossus and Rogue (I'm not such a fan of Cyclops as a character...).
This is looking like it could be an exciting game to dip your toe into if the sets are reasonably priced. The fact that they come with their own mini-rulebook and such means that you can just grab two of these and get playing. A good move from Knight Models.
Which team will you go for?

All 3 Starters are great but i will probably buy the Guardians of the Galaxy Starter and then i hope they will release Iron Man and Wolverine as single miniatur blisters.
They do?

Ah thanks, didn’t know that, so some of the miniatures in these starters are “old” miniatures?
The x-men set has my interest. Unlike brennon Cyclops has always been my favorite x-men.
Nice. Still want Guardians of the Galaxy however. But these are still cool.
hopefully I can get my dreamteam together IF the rules allow
Spidey , Logan , She Hulk , Cloak and Dagger and Dr Strange.
I also think there missing whole beat here , with the Netflix DD , Jessica Jones and Luke Cage series out , could be a lot of interest here.
Very nice. I do wonder is that Rogue in X-Men starter 90’s one that had Miss Marvel’s powers because least she looks like that 90’s version.
I hope so because that is the ‘iconic’ Rogue I remember from my childhood. Of course, I also love Ms Marvel..
Still not in the Knightmodels website?
I will buy XMen starter as soon as I can.
I’ve seen a store with pre-orders up for the end of the month.
I like what I’m seeing. I would get both sets as they both look awesome!
The paintjob on that Colossus is INSANELY good!
I will get all three but will mostly play X-men, just need Storm to replace Cyclops.
If I buy Avengers, Hulk, Ant-man/Giant-man and Wasp wil be auto matic additional buys.
If I Buy X-Men, Storm, Nightcrawler, Jean Greay Iceman, Angel/Archangel, Beast, Shadowcat, Phoenix II, Thunderbird, Sunfire, Banshiee, Dazzler, Longshot, Both versions of Psylocke, Forge, Polaris, Havok, and Jubilee are manditory additional purchases.
;p
Make Mine Marvel
Still pretty silent on a possible release date. Strange marketing strategy…
