With several hard working months under our belt, we can finally say that Rise of the Mutants is finished!!!!!





This thread has been a discussion thread through the entire process, but now we can use it to express our excitement of finishing this set.

My only suggestion is for a name is X-Men: First Class, which is the title of a current comic featuring these guys.

First off I found 6 different minis for Cyclops


Then I found 5 different minis for the Beast, two of which are human, but one of which has a blue skinned variant.

This one comes with blue skin

Here are two options for Angel with a third one, Archangel.

Jean has 5 options plus Phoenix.

Iceman has 3 choices.

Professor X has 4 options.


Magneto has a few options as well.

and Magneto as Xorn


Mystique and Juggernaut have two options each.

Pyro has one option.

Sentinels have two, big ones.

and smaller human sized ones.


Finally, Toad has a couple of options. His mini and a horrorclix mini (Wildman of Borneo) that I think could work.


Using Horrorclix, I did actually come up with a couple more civilian rioters. What do you all think of these?


I also still like the idea of doing Multiple Man, although I can get behind civilians now, so here he is.

Thought I'd move this over here.

OK, before we get too much into figures (we'll get there, I promise), let's make sure we finalize our expectations of the set. In terms of what we're looking to do in a Master set, does everyone like the template (numbers of units, rules additions, maps, glyphs, etc.)? Any more opinions on scenarios? Or is it all just warm and fuzzies for Balantai's cool Choose Your Own Adventure style 7 scenarios?
Any more chat about dropping Wolverine for Prof. X. or are we ready to vote on that one? I believe, by our bylaws, we'll actually need a unanimous vote to do that, since we already voted Wolvie in.
And also, thoughts on the name? Origins vs. First Class? I'm OK with either, honestly.

I like the idea of using Professor X. As for the name of the set, I think we should wait until we flesh out the scenarios and pick a name that has something to do with that.

[IAmBatman]

I think that as long as the name of the set is thematic to the characters it will work with the campaign. I mean, "World's Finest" doesn't exactly echo the campaign in the DC set (a better echo would probably be "Darkseid's Arrival") but I feel "World's Finest" is a better title to encompass everything the story has to offer.
I mean, for instance, would "Days of Future Past" be a better set name than "X-Men: First Class" if we decided to go with a Days of Future Past type storyline? (Not that these characters particularly lend themselves to that choice, but you see what I mean?)

Seems fine.

I'd definitely like to explore that type of variable campaign.

I'm OK with either one. Wolverine is so iconic, but X does make a lot of sense here. If everyone else voted for Prof. X, I'd go with it.

And also, thoughts on the name? Origins vs. First Class? I'm OK with either, honestly.

Yeah, either sounds fine to me. Not my biggest concern.

[GreyOwl]

I was thinking more along the lines of "Swarm of the Marro". The scenarios are all about fighting against the Marro, but the name is still generic enough. Something like that.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, but we have such a diverse set - Brotherhood of Mutants (from various incarnations), the First Class of Xavier, Sentinels, angry mobs of people ... Juggernaut ... it's not really one core enemy, which makes me want to focus on the X-Men themselves.
Also, I feel like "World's Finest" and "Brave and the Bold" set a bit of a precedent for the set names to be more built around the heroes than the villains. Not to say we can never veer from precedents, of course.

[GreyOwl]

I'm okay with that, too, I'm just throwing out ideas. Out of the previous ideas, I like Origins the best, mainly because it's the first X-Men themed set.

[IAmBatman]

Oh, I should note, for those who haven't seen it, a vote is up in the voting thread, and it's one that requires unanimous support to pass, so please vote your yeas or nays.

[Balantai]

I have another reason to exclude Wolverine from this Master Set. It will build a great deal of excitement for our first X-Men wave.
