Skirmish Games Comparison (MCP V Shatterpoint V Malifaux V Guildball V Bushido V Warcry V Underworlds)
I realised a while back that I prefer Skirmish games. I’m enjoying AOS right now because I get to use the big models, but we only play 1000 points. But after trying to play a WFB game crica 8/9e and it taking 5 hours to setup play and put away I started looking for smaller […]
What have I been up to minis wise?
The last time I blogged about Minis was MCP around the launch of winter guard. I had some of them painted and was going to an event…that was summer 2022. I didn’t go. So what have I been playing? So for a while in 2022 I was playing bushido. I proxied at first with Brian. […]
MCP: Red Guardian character card Review
So having just reviewed Darkstar I can look at her brother Red Guardian. So not the RG from the Black Widow film! Here’s what I said in the preview: So we can expect him to have high energy defense and possible absorb it like Captain Marvel. He may have a blast ability, but maybe not. […]
MCP: Darkstar character card Review
A bit late on this one! What did I say in the preview? So with such a wide power set she could be up to 4 threat or just 3. We’ve seen both Lockjaw and Heimdall teleport others at 3 threat. Although it could be card? She does have a card called Dark Aura Manifestation […]
Ministravaganza Review
So suddenly on Friday night loads of MCP stuff starting popping up. Turns out the re-arranged Ministravaganza is was weekend! I’d posted about the original show and then it had been postponed and I’d forgotten about it. But they had dropped some information (here) so I didn’t expect much to be spoiled. So what was […]
MCP: Malekith Character Card Review
So I said in my quitting? post (here) that Malekith is one of the few things keeping me interested. We got his card this week and some more talk at ministravaganza. They also spoiled some other stuff, but mostly it was cards for the WW2 stuff, meh. But Malekith? He’s next level: So he has […]
Why I might be giving up on MCP
So I hinted at giving up on MCP in my last blog and a few people asked why. Here are the many and varies answers. 15 factions done! Playing the 5 games with 15 affiliations was a big achievement but also came at a cost. That was the goal for so long that having achieved […]
MCP: Ursa Major character card review
A week ago I was considering packing in writing about this game (and maybe the game). But then we got the bear, so I’m back! What did I say he might bring? In game then he doesn’t transform as we have no second model, just like Colossus or Hulk. He looks big and scary but […]
MCP Preview: Zola and Strucker

MCP Preview: DARKSTAR
So having looked at the Bear and the (Not) Cap Rip-Off here, it’s time for two more from CP88. Except they released the card for Dynamo, so it’s just Darkstar! Dark Star Laynia Petrovna is Darkstar, a former member of a super team assembled to reclaim the elusive Black Widow. Darkstar defected to the United […]
MCP: Crimson Dynamo character card review
So I was still writing the preview for Dynamo and the card got released. So no point on doing a preview now! First up, anyone notice anything about the card? Yes, that’s the old card format. The 2 asgardians and black order we’ve seen recently used the new format. I guess these have been delayed […]

First up lets look at the main draw; Ursa Major From the website: Mikhail Ursus is Ursa Major, who possesses the ability to transform into an enormous humanoid brown bear. His government may have initially made Mikhail a target, but he was eventually […]
MCP: Malekith character Preview
So we got this nice big model, but what might the card be like? So from marvel fandom we have this info: Malekith was a Dark Elf of Svartalfheim. He was born the thirteenth son to a thirteenth son and to Lady Mazerot of the Black Bile Clan, which were known as the lords of […]
MCP: Heimdall Character Card Review
Here’s what I said about Heimdall in the preview: “So in game we can expect him to have decent defenses and stamina, and reasonable attacks but nothing stellar. And then he needs something to represent his senses – possibly letting other characters ignore LOS/Cover, and ideally something to represent the bifrost – moving characters around, […]
MCP: Not-Ministravaganza spoilers
So Ministravaganza didn’t happen but AMG dropped a bunch of spoilers in the form of a video for 4 new boxes and a reveal of a crazy new character. Let’s have a (very) quick look. Shield Vs Hydra First the video, It dropped 4 new boxes bringing 6/7? new models. We have Nick Fury and […]
MCP: Character card review : Skurge
So we didn’t get Ministravaganza, but we did get cards and spoilers. First up I’m looking at Skurge. ere’s what I said Skurge should be bringing: “So we can expect another throw, and that’s about it. Do I think he’ll be a 2 threat? Not really. Unless he can’t contest objectives like Nebula. He needs […]
MCP: Ministravaganza speculations
So Ministravaganza is upon us again. What do I expect to get for MCP? Well let’s look at last time We got cards for 2 announced models – Ms Marvel and Hulkbuster. We got the X-men announced and then saw 2 cards for them The errata was announced and a couple of cards for that […]
MCP: Thoughts on the 15 affiliations
So having played 5 competitive tournament games with 15 affiliations (See here) and gone over the stats (here) I’m now doing a brief overview of each affiliation. Avengers Firstly I need to say this was only Sam Wilson Avengers. But I was surprised how easy this was to play. I thought it would be awkward […]
MCP- Guardians/A-Force Roster review
So I did an event at the weekend and took a Guardians and A-Force roster. I went 1-0 with Guardians and 0-2 with A-Force. So very mixed! As usual I’m rating how the roster worked for me. Star-Lord. So much better with hit and run and the new leadership is very useful. His re-roll thing […]
MCP: Statistics for the 15 affiliations I played
So having played 5+ competitive games with each of 15 affiliations (see here) I thought I would do a run-down of each affiliation. [still working on that] Before I get into that though I thought I would take a quick look at how my win rates compare to the general win rates, so I’ve turned […]
