July 30, 2020 by brennon
Atomic Mass Games has revealed what everyone was looking forward to this week! The X-Men are coming to Marvel: Crisis Protocol with a whole host of new packs for both Xavier's X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood Of Mutants.

The new selection of offering brings you a great selection of key characters from both sides of the Mutant conflict.
X-Men Collection // Marvel Crisis Protocol
It looks like we're going to be getting Wolverine, Cyclops, Beast, and Storm going up against Sabertooth, Mystique, Toad and the powerful Magneto. A few of the characters look to have a few different options when it comes to building them and I absolutely love how they have taken a lot of inspiration from the 90s cartoon series.
X-Men Preview //Marvel: Crisis Protocol
You can see one of the alternative options here with Beast looking through one of his books, probably before he works out how to stop something exploding. There is plenty of dynamism throughout the range and I think this is going to be a lot of fun for people to play with on the tabletop making alternative teams.

It will be fun to see how this collection works with the existing range of Marvel heroes and villains. I am looking forward to seeing just how people put together teams that might have been drawn from the comic book storylines and of course, their own imaginations.
X-Men Packs // Marvel: Crisis Protocol
There are some interesting looking collections here where they have paired up a bunch of different heroes. The Wolverine & Sabertooth set certainly makes thematic sense but I imagine the others are designed to simply give you an interesting combination of characters.
Are you liking this starting line-up from Atomic Mass Games and if so, who are you going to paint up first?
"...who are you going to paint up first?"
Fire up the store, SOLD!!!
Looking forward to see how you paint them up already!
That’s a lot of yellow…. my nemesis!
“What did you expect … Yellow spandex?” 😉
(I wonder if they do the movie versions as well as the classic comic variants)
Yesyesyes.
Classic looks. check
brotherhood. check
Im all in. Hoping for Collossus and shadowcat coming out in a relativly short while, but this is an outstanding start and I love the look they’ve gone for. Ororo is in an epic pose befitting the wind-goddess.
Sooooo interested how Mystique is going to play.
Ths is what I wanted from Crisis protocol.
Watch the trailer all the way through 🙂 Lol
I noticed that, very sneaky.
Very amusing!
I take it as magneto said first we send the pawns could be good if they bring sentinels in to the game.
This is what I needed to get me interested in Crisis Protocol. Maybe it is a bit of fatigue with the MCU but classic X-men just sings to me. I had hoped they’d do a starter box for them but either way, I’ll be picking some up
This has came at exactly the right time seeing as I bought the core game yesterday 😀
I need them all and I haven’t even bought everthying I want from the available minis, this is getting expensive.
X-Men miniatures? Yes please! Oh and before I forget, Adamantium Rage!
I think Magneto is the one I’m most excited to paint. Getting the cape right is going to be a challenge, I think.
Wolverine should have a special rule that allows him to join every team at the same time, while still being the paragon of the Lone Wolf archetype.
Cyclopse and Storm in a box together?
Why not Jean Grey? Is she going to be paired with Nightcrawler or Colossus?
I can see them having her in her own box. Even to go as far as having two miniatures of her, one as Jean Grey and the other Dark Phoenix on a bigger base.
Yes!
My wallet will hurt again but, X-MEN!!!
A few things worth noting if you didn’t watch the reveal announcement (not the trailer) and then the follow up interview Will Shick (head of Atomic Mass Games)gave: – The X-Men will arrive with 4 possible faction leaders. Cyclops and Storm will both have leadership abilities representing their times as leaders, like with the X-Men Blue and Gold teams (respectfully). Will didn’t say much about the Brotherhood’s second possible team leadership, but since Cyclops and Storm are packaged together, some are theorizing Toad is the second Brotherhood leader. – These four boxes will arrive for the game’s 1 year anniversary… Read more »
There’s also plenty of options to play with affiliation. to my knowledge alone, Beast and Wolverine have both been Avengers. Storm could fit in a Wakanada list.
Magneto has been an x-men as well, in fact most brotherhood mutants have allied themselves with the x-men in later comics, especially sice the mutants formed their own Island nation.
With Doctor strange, Beast, Hulk and Valkyrie in the range, we are also starting to see a beginning Defenders roster.
They showed off the Defenders affiliation card on stream Saturday. It’s Doctor Strange (leader), Spider-Man [Peter Parker], Hulk, Valkyrie, Wong, Hawkeye, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Ghost Rider. Only models we haven’t seen in person yet are Luke and Iron Fist, though they did reveal Luke’s character card art. I’m hoping Beast gets added to the roster post-release and that they only committed him to keep from spoiling anything. You’re definitely right about their being in the Avengers and Wakanda teams, but I guess it depends on when these characters are supposed to represent their place in history. It would… Read more »
I’ll need atleast two Wolverines. One for the classic look, and one for the X-Force scheme 😉 Also, bring on Nightcrawler, he’s been my favourite since I was a little kid!
