Arkham City Limits Now Official! Jan Highlights

Penguin and Crew by Jorg Waitforit

I have mentioned the Facebook group Arkham City Limits on here a few times now as my favourite place to go for Batman Minis Game discussion and models.
Well, what was a fan group originally, has now become 100% official!
As of this week, Arkham City Limits is the official group for the Batman game with the full support of Knight Models
They even have a crew painting competition going on at the moment with the top 3 prizes being the special Talia tournemanet only card!

If that isn't enought to tempt you over to have a look, I have picked a few of my favourite images from the last month on there.

Adam Reeves has turned this Blackgate Prisoner into a Joker fan.

Adam has also created Soloman FUNdy

Andy Leighton's stunning Batman and Robin

Brandon Jackson has swapped Jokers knife out for a crowbar. Poor Jason.

Brandon has also painted up Bruce and Damien to take the Joker down

Crispian Woolford is working on a court house for Gotham. Dents building of choice.

Arkham Origins Bane by Edward Hanby

Jack Glanfield has been doing some amazing stuff with UV paint

Jack has also added large bronze statues to his board for that 90's movie feel

Green Arrow by Justin Timothy

Arkham City Batman by Kent Ing

Matthew Malcomson is creating Two Face Mobsters out of Black Mask Henchmen

ADAM WEST leads to cops. Painted by Myk Myers

Robert Zane Solo is working on a very impressive Ferris wheel for Jokers Fun Land

Scott Crowe has added extra vegetation to Ivy and her plants. Helped out by a great mettalic Deathstroke.

Wille Vertanen has DKR leader the Origins Bane Mercs. Helped out by Deadpool as a stand in for Deathstroke.

The Batman Minis Game - Who Works With Who?


EDIT - Updated as far as pre-Suicide Squad box.
Do you still use this post? Should it keep going? Let me know below.

As the Batman game from Knight Models gets bigger, I keep seeing people asking a very similar question.
"I really like (character) but who else works with them?"

To try and help out new players with their crew building and buying, I thought it would be a good idea to list each crew here with which models / packs work for them and any restrictions they may have.

Specific restrictions will be in (brackets), as will the model version for those with different miniatures. They also include hiring costs, weapons and key Traits. Henchmen that can be taken up to 3 times will have an * next to their name.

This should be easier for people than looking at each individual card online.

I will be referring to the different model types  like Leader and Free Agent. You can see what each means and how to build your crew using them here - Batman Crew Building
Remember, if you choose a Sidekick as the BOSS instead of a Leader, their Funding Cost is reduced to $0
The plan is to keep this as a living post and add all monthly releases and any changes made.

With the new Flash / Arrow expansion there are now TEAMS available as well. The currently released models for each of these can be found at the bottom of the post.
I am going to hold off on any stats or how you build a team until the books have shipped out worldwide.

Gotham City Campaign Map for Batman


After a discussion in the Arkham City Limits Facebook Group, I thought it would be a good idea to set up a campaign map for the Batman Minis game from Knight Models. (Thanks to Kieron, David and Jack)

The map below has Gotham City split into several areas with most of the important places marked.
The idea is to have each Crew and Free Agent start in a different area. New releases will be added as and when they come out.

Still working on the rules ideas for the campagin but I thought this would be a good start. Feel free to use it however you like or suggest any changes.

Batman Model Review - Arrow Nyssa al Ghul + Arkham City Ra's al Ghul


Today's review is a couple of people that have caused several problems for Arrow and Batman in the past.
Nyssa al Ghul from the CW series Arrow and Ra's al Ghul from the Arkham City console game.
The League of Assassins / Shadows have just become a lot more dangerous!


Packaging is the usual Knight Models blister packs. Foam holding the model parts in place and a backing car showing a painted version of the model which also doubles up as the game stat card.
There is something a little different this time though.On the bottom right corner if Nyssa's card is the CW Arrow logo! The first model from this series in the game so far (Arrow out this month) so I wonder how many more we will see?


In the packs you will find two 30mm plastic bases, two new design fold out stat cards and two highly detailed, 35mm scale, multipart metal models.

Ra's al Ghul , Head of the Demon, is a new Leader for the League. 125 Rep $0 with Willpower 8 and average to high stats. He's expensive but well worth it once you look at his weapon and Traits.
His Soultaker Sword gives 2 Blood damage each time and removes an opponents Willpower. On top of that he also has Weapon Master on it.
His other Traits are Elite Boss: Ninjas, Grand Strategist, Immortal, Martial Artist, Mastermind, Precise Blow, Undercover and Veteran. You are going to need to throw a LOT at Ra's to stop him.

Nyssa al Ghul, Heir to the Demon, is Ra's' daughter and new League Sidekick. 83 Rep and $300 means shes another expensive choice but again, worth taking once you look at what she can do.
Willpower 6 and average stats don't look like much. But add in her 2 Blood Bow, Kruki knife, Acrobat, Good Aim, Hook Arrow, Martial Artist, Master Marksman, Reflexes and Stealth and you have a great fighter who can get any where, shoot anyone and hold her own in close combat.


A closer look at the parts.
Nyssa has main body, quiver, bow arm and arrow arm.
Ra's has main body, head, sword arm and small left arm.


A VERY close look at the two bodies for mould lines and issues shows that there is almost nothing.
These were so quick and easy to clean up and get ready to build.


Building these was fairly simple. The parts all slotted together easily with only minimal gaps that may need a little filling. They each had something I'm not keen on though, metal parts that need lining up and gluing in two or more places at the same time. Grrrrr! It's probably because I have huge hands, but I can never seem to get parts like that in the right place.
Ra's' arms need to be glued at the shoulders and wrist at the same time to get them to line up properly. Nyssa has the same with her arrow arms attaching at the shoulder and the top of the quiver.
Although these type of parts annoy me, they do give stunning poses. Both of the models look to be in the middle of drawing their weapons and joining the fight.
Ra's does have the old 'foot on rock' thing going on but again it adds to the pose and can easily be removed and replaced if you wanted to. I decided to hide it behind some rubble.
Nyssa is standing on the edge of a rooftop. I can't decide if I like this or not. It does add to the character of the piece really well but at the same time it doesn't really tie in with the rest of the crew. I ended up basing it on the floor so it looks like it's a bit more rubble.


Each of these models cost roughly £12. Not bad for characters compared to several other popular games. Especially when these are bigger, very detailed and licensed.

Nyssa and Ra's add some serious skills to the League of Shadows / Assassins and if used together, they are over half of a standard sized crew on thier own.
If you want to use them together in the League, a list to look at could be-

Ra's al Ghul - 125 Rep
Nyssa al Ghul - 83 Rep - $300
Seeker Ninja - 27 Re- - $200
Ying Ninja - 30 Rep
Yang Ninja - 31 Rep
Lotus Ninja - 48 Rep - $100

That gives you a crew of 344 Rep and $600. Leaving you with $900 to spread some useful equipment between the four Ninjas. Nyssa would appreciate an Ammo Crate objective placed some where hard to reach with a good vantage point as well.

I do like both of these releases. They make me want to use the League which I didn't really want to use at all before. Probably because it was Dark Knight movie based and I'm not really a fan of those movies.
I can forgive the multi-glue parts as that is balanced by giving them great poses.
All in all I would score them -

Nyssa al Ghul - 8 / 10 Badger Points

Ra's al Ghul - 8 / 10 Badger Points

If you like the League or want some enemies to face Batman and the Arrow, I would recommend picking up both of these.

What are your thoughts on these two?

Batman Model Review - Black Canary and Speedy / Arsenal


I think it's about time I caught up with the Knight Models reviews on here.
By the time I have covered the Nov and Dec releases, it will be time for the Jan ones to arrive!

First up are two of Green Arrows partners in crime fighting. Black Canary and Speedy / Arsenal.


The models come in the usual Knight Models blister packs. Parts held in tightly with foam and the stat card also acts as the display side showing a lovely painted example of each model.
Inside you will find....


Two 30mm bases, two new design fold out stat cards and two multipart, high detailed 35mm scale metal miniatures.

Black Canary is a 69 Rep $0 Free Agent for Green Arrow. An Eratta has also added Batman to her affiliation so she can also be used in a Birds of Prey crew with Batgirl and Huntress.
As a close combat specialist, shes comes with Martial Artist, Acrobat, Hidden and Technique. While shes doesn't have any weapons, Canary can still dish out Stun Damage with her bare hands.

Speedy / Aresenal is a 74 Rep $200 Sidekick for the Green Arrow crew. This is not a man you want to get in the way of. Standard Arrows with 2 Blood Damage and an Explosive Arrow combined with Rapid Fire means he is fully kitted out for taking down even the largest enemies at range.
With the Red Hood out this month, I hope he will also work with Speedy as an Outlaws crew would be great. Then I just need to start begging for Starfire!


A closer look at the parts for each.
Speedy has a main body, head, quiver, bow arm and arrow arm.
Black Canary has a main body, head and two arms.


As you can see on the bodies, neither of the models really had any mould lines to worry about. A quick run over each with a file and they were ready to build.


The builds for each models were fairly simple. Both models arm tabs needed  little trim to fit snug but that's something I expect to do with metal models anyway so it wasn't really an issue.
For these models I have removed the base tabs and placed them on resin toppers to match the rest of my collection.
Do be careful with Speedys bow though, the part where the bow and hand meet is easy to bend so I expect it would be just as easy to break. The size means it wouldn't be easy easy to fix!
Honestly, my only complaint for either would be the classic 'foot on rock'! To be fair, it would be easy enough to remove and replace with something more street-like and it does give each an awesome action pose.


I wanted to sow this stunning painted image again as it's Knight Models own copies and the photo was taken by Luis and Celso, the graphic designer and community manager, specifically for this review! (Thank You!)

Each of these models is going to cost you roughly £12. Maybe a little more or less depending on where you buy them. That's about the normal character price for the other big games on the market, plus these are amazingly high detail, a larger scale and licensed. To me £12 is fine. I wouldn't complain if they were cheaper, but who would?

While they haven't had a Leader to be used with yet, the end of this month sees the Arrow from the CWs hit show so you can expect some killer crews to be out there soon.

Arrow - 125 Rep
Speedy - 74 Rep - $200
Canary - 69 Rep
Huntress - 66 Rep - $100
Baton Cop - 16 Rep (Could pass for Diggle)
This gives you a low model count but dangerous looks 350 Rep crew. You will have some $$$ spare but I wouldn't worry about that with the amount of arrows that will be flying about. Make sure you take an Ammo Crate objective and hope you opponent has one as well.

Overall, I LOVE these two models. Great sculpts, great rules, easy to build but each has foot on rock.
The scores are going to be......

Speedy - 9 / 10 Badger Points

Black Canary - 8 / 10 Badger Points

I would highly recommend picking up both of these!

What do you think of them?

Next up, the Al Ghuls!
