With the new models coming to the game there is an updated Marvel Crisis Protocol FAQ along with core rule changes for Grunts!
When a wave of new releases hits, Atomic Mass Games does a good job of keeping everything updated. So if you were wondering how you could fit the new models into your lists, these will help you out. Plus, we love that they keep the base sizes updated as it’s easy to tell how big something should be.
There are some big changes here mainly due to Grunts entering the game, but you can check out all the big updates from last November here as well.
Let’s check out the rest of the Marvel Crisis Protocol changes coming, and if you want to download them for yourself, you can here.
They also updated the base size and affiliation list, which can be grabbed here. But that’s just mainly for the new models coming out.
June 4th 2022: Marvel Crisis Protocol FAQ for the Black Order
First, let’s start with the updated affiliation list, nothing crazy but the new minis have to go somewhere. Now, let’s get into the big change.
The main change is this it gives all allied characters a power. This in itself is quite awesome, but when you take into account the type of allied characters Black Order could have in their list, who can gain free power through this is super strong.
April 1, 2022: New Marvel Crisis Protocol FAQ
They basically just adjusted the dice rolls for Mystique and Beast to start things off. Then, Blade and Moon Knight also get a little bit of a change, but nothing too insane overall. Lastly, they basically made it so Kingpin can’t use Grunts for his ability. This is a little sad because Kingpin seems like the type of guy to use plenty of Grunts to achieve his goals! But, it would be pretty crazy if you could use Grunts this way TBH
Then, they made changes to a lot of cards, so they threw those in there as well.
Maybe most importantly, they added all the Grunt rules to the core rules, so you won’t have to go find them in a bunch of different places. As we’ve seen before, you can’t just include them in your list, you have to take a character who has them included and they are set up with that model.
Grunts act a little different than normal characters, mainly in the way they activate, meaning when the parent character activates, then they get to do so as well. However, if their boss goes down, then so do they. However, they can still activate if the parent character is dazed.
They have some special rules, but cannot be generally chosen to have the effects of cards put on them.
