The other half of the Lunar starter box is these USSR cosmonauts. The weapon arms are interchangeable between factions, which is pretty handy.
I tried to give a mix of military arms, mining equipment, and improvised weapons.
Lunar: USSR Starter
Lunar: USA Starter
Lunar is another game put out by Black Site Studios, which is really on a roll for publishing skirmish games. It’s set For All Mankind-like alternate history where there’s a military buildup on the moon. I couldn’t help myself and signed up for the preorder.
The models come with a ton of weapon options. That nice and allows for a bunch of customizability. But it also means analysis paralysis, especially when you haven’t played it yet. I decided to just go for a variety.
Crisis Protocol: Venom
Venom is the other Adepticon swag bag Crisis Protocol model. The models are nice hard plastic. Venom’s seams are better placed than Hulk’s.
These models are a lot of fun. I expect more will make their way to my hobby bench.
Crisis Protocol: Hulk
I’ve been eyeing Crisis Protocol for a long time. Hulk and Venom came in the swag back for the canceled Adepticon 2020, but the box sat unloved on my shelf. Until a buddy said he picked up the starter. I decided to put together my models to go along with some borrowed models in a demo game.
The game is a lot fun. The effective second life every model (except Hulk) gets gives your crew an interesting longevity. Plus, Marvel makes some fun characters.
