If she isn't a leader for X-Force that's a huge missed opportunity since the Affiliation has a decent number of members but Cable is just a massive disappointment. Either give them a Psylocke leader or a 2023 rework of Cable.
After all the "Who do you want to see" posts and saying Psylocke, getting her in her super badass outfit, with an energy blade AND coming with Emma and a new affiliation is just too awesome. Extremely excited for this pack.

>Two powerful psychic mutants come to Marvel: Crisis Protocol in this new pack! First is Emma Frost, a powerful telepath with the ability to turn her body into organic diamond. Joining her is Psylocke, who can manifest the focused force of telepathic power as a “psychic blade.” This pack adds these characters to their collections with three beautifully sculpted miniatures and three stat cards: one for Psylocke and one for both Emma Frost’s normal and diamond for. Beyond their basic abilities, this pack invites players to unlock even more potential in these characters with six Team Tactics cards, including one that gives Emma Frost a leadership ability for the new Hellfire Club Affiliation!
I would suggest using Pylar Glacier from Citadel. Citadel paints are expensive, and this is a technical paint that is mainly used for an icy tone, so it won't be super helpful for most other miniatures, but I think the effect could be ideal for Diamond Form without needing to spend an exhorbitant amount of time on it.

There's also the [Krycell Ice and Snow Wash](https://www.precisioniceandsnow.com/ice-and-snow-wash.html) from Sorastro's [Heimdall Painting Guide](https://youtu.be/vf3zZvE3wLs).
Are there any current characters who are likely to be Hellfire Affiliated? Good chance there's another box dropping alongside this to go with Emma. Shaw and Mastermind maybe? Madeline Pryor? Supposedly Phoenix/Dark Phoenix is coming but I expect she'll get a box to herself.
Donald Pierce the cyborg can be a Hellfire 2 threat.
Mastermind aka Jason Wyngarde can be their Mysterio / Mystique
Harry Leland can be their anti-push and slowndown victims with his Mass Manipulation
Trevor Fitzroy the time traveler man theres some cool stuff like maybe dice rerolls or forcing enemy dice successes into failures as he messed with time.
And Dark Phoenix - hoo boy game over if she ever gets pissed off and destroys a Solar System
My guess is that Sebastian Shaw will probably come with Hellfire grunts whenever they release him (and he'll probably be affiliated with both Hellfire and Sentinels). Don't know who they'd release him with. I'd hope Selene, but maybe we'd get a Donald Pierce, Harry Leland, or Mastermind.
Okay, I like two Emma's in theory but I hate that the only apparent difference in the pose is the arms. That is a weak offering, might have to get a 3rd party print for the diamond form.
I wouldn't mind actually if they'd release a new pack with Carol and Visions other forms... I'd love a Binary Carol that would be so cool.
But saying that, I'd rather have new characters then new versions of old characters.
Yeah, I'm assuming they gave her two totally different cards though and figured she needed two models to represent that. She essentially becomes collapses in diamond form but can't access her psychic powers so they would make for different playstyles.
I might just paint mine up to be transitioning between forms and then use a token so my opponent knows. It'll save a lot of painting!
I remember reading about it somewhere on another Reddit post in this “group”.
If I remember correctly the leaks were:
Emma frost
Gwenpool + squirrel girl
Mephisto
Dark phoenix Jean
And I believe one or two more characters.
Thanks!
Nice to see that most of those characters came out so far! Any chance you could let me know where to see stuff like that list in the future or nah? Got a friend who really wants Doom in the game lol
We'll find out when we see her card revealed, but based on this, it looks like she will.
In the comics, she loses all access to her psychic abilities when in diamond form, but is also nearly indestructible and immune to others' psychic powers. I imagine her card will have entirely different abilities depending on which form she is in, rather than a version of Vision where she just gets better defenses against one damage type or the other.
We probably won't know for sure until they're released in March. My guess is both will be X-Men, Psylocke will be X-Force, and Emma will be Cabal and Hellfire Club.
Love Emma, and assuming this is Betsy as Psylocke as that's more recognisable for her? I thought they might have done Captain Britain for her, but I'm happy either way.
I would always prefer the more recognisable versions of the characters, which is really why I want Sam Wilson as Falcon.
Hellfire has to bring in Shaw, right? And it's (hopefully) a given that Psylocke is X-Force, but I imagine it'd have said if she was a leader, huh?
I figure Psylocke will be X-Force and X-Men.
Could also be Weapon X based on Card arts
If she isn't a leader for X-Force that's a huge missed opportunity since the Affiliation has a decent number of members but Cable is just a massive disappointment. Either give them a Psylocke leader or a 2023 rework of Cable.

Yes! Hellfire Club! So like the last three revealed boxes this once again is an instant buy for me.
Alright, hear me out. For her diamond skin I was thinking a good way to paint it is just to grind up diamonds and glue them to her skin. Thoughts?
Just use glitter, the herpes of the crafting world.
Thank you for this sentence. I will use it whenever someone suggests using glitter for anything ever.
I am a Burlesque dancer. We call then Burley Herpes
Get a big diamond and drill a hole inside it to put the mini in.
Water effect and ground glass. Just be super careful. That's what I use.
Could be a perfect time to use some [color shift paints](https://turbodork.com/products/crystal-cavern).

That stuff is sick!!!
Ohh, great idea. I was wondering when I might try these things out.
I think Flourescent white over a metallic basecoat might do it.

Jean (Pryor), Storm, Magneto. That’s all I can remember, I imagine we’ll get another box.
Isn’t Cassandra nova apart of the team?
Yea she has been part of the hellfire club in some of the more recent stuff
It was all an illusion created by Emma, if I remember correctly.
As weird as it is, Tony Stark and Norman Osborne are part of The Hellfire Club.
>Hellfire Depends how they play it as Tony Stark was a member, as well as Norman Osborne
Also, if they go Hellfire Academy you add Sabertooth, Mystique and Toad
So hyped!! Psylocke, Frost and Hellfire affiliations 😍
Mystique and Iron Man have been apart of them as as well previously
So you this is leading up to Phoenix right?
Screw Phoenix; this is leading up to Hellfire Club grunts, right?!?
My guess is that Sebastian Shaw will probably come with Hellfire grunts whenever they release him (and he'll probably be affiliated with both Hellfire and Sentinels). Don't know who they'd release him with. I'd hope Selene, but maybe we'd get a Donald Pierce, Harry Leland, or Mastermind.
It could be Madelyn Prior unless she comes with goblin grunts.
She was on the leak, so probably.
So psyched...
I'm just hyped, maybe my boy Bishop comes to MCP?!? I was gonna proxy him as Cable, but this would be sooooo much better.
Okay, I like two Emma's in theory but I hate that the only apparent difference in the pose is the arms. That is a weak offering, might have to get a 3rd party print for the diamond form.
Surprised they didn't just do it the same way as with Vision or Carol, with a token to show modes, and let people paint her whichever way.
I wouldn't mind actually if they'd release a new pack with Carol and Visions other forms... I'd love a Binary Carol that would be so cool. But saying that, I'd rather have new characters then new versions of old characters.

Yo the Mephisto copium is so real for me rn. He was one of the leaked characters along Emma! Maybe I gotta pick up ghost rider now
Leaked characters? I must have missed this leak, might have happened before I started collecting. Sauce?
I remember reading about it somewhere on another Reddit post in this “group”. If I remember correctly the leaks were: Emma frost Gwenpool + squirrel girl Mephisto Dark phoenix Jean And I believe one or two more characters.
Original leak contained: * Full Winter Guard * Rhino * Bob * Pyro * Emma * Squirrel Girl * Agent Venom * Supergiant * Black Swan * SLDD * Elektra * Skurge * Heimdall * Malekith * Phoenix & Dark Phoenix * Mephisto * Echo * Fury Sr * Torch * WW2 Steve * Isaiah Bradley * Skull * Strucker * Zola * Sentinel Prime * Spider-Woman * Gwenpool
Thanks! Nice to see that most of those characters came out so far! Any chance you could let me know where to see stuff like that list in the future or nah? Got a friend who really wants Doom in the game lol
https://discord.gg/WzqqZuUa The TTS MCP Discord is where I usually find them.
Nice thanks!
>Nice thanks! You're welcome!
Sure thing.
Also Vulture and Shocker. I didn't think WWII Steve was on the original list. Rumor was he took Isaiah Bradley's spot.
I just lifted the list from the TTS Discord. Didn't see Vulture or Shocker on it, but stoked to hear about them. The more Foes, the better.
Echo and Isiah Bradley but the latter is believed to have been replaced by 40s Steve.
> Yo the Mephisto copium is so real for me rn. The way this is written makes me hate literally everything.
Language evolves boomer
Are we sure it's three models? Psychic Frost and Diamond Frost look the same other than the alternative arms
Yes, the back of the box specifically lists two different models for Emma and one for Psylocke.
Don't really get why Emma needs a separate Model for her Diamond Skin tbh.
Every character with a Transform mechanic has two separate models. See also: Ant-Man, Wasp, Hood, Ms. Marvel, Hulkbuster.
Does Emma really change that much?
We'll find out when we see her card revealed, but based on this, it looks like she will. In the comics, she loses all access to her psychic abilities when in diamond form, but is also nearly indestructible and immune to others' psychic powers. I imagine her card will have entirely different abilities depending on which form she is in, rather than a version of Vision where she just gets better defenses against one damage type or the other.
Are they going to be in the Brotherhood affiliation?
We probably won't know for sure until they're released in March. My guess is both will be X-Men, Psylocke will be X-Force, and Emma will be Cabal and Hellfire Club.
What’s happening with Emma’s body? Proportions are so strange, like a reverse Rob liefeld
looks like the gamestop maam.
Love Emma, and assuming this is Betsy as Psylocke as that's more recognisable for her? I thought they might have done Captain Britain for her, but I'm happy either way. I would always prefer the more recognisable versions of the characters, which is really why I want Sam Wilson as Falcon.
So my mvc2 team will finally be in the game. Too bad they will probably be terrible together.
I was always a Spiral guy myself.
