As a few things have changed and moved around, I'll go over all of the different sections again.

Marvel / DC Universe Games - Who Works with Who?

They are here! The long awaited Marvel / DC Universe Miniature Games from Knight Models.

So many lovely miniatures. But who can go with who?

To help out I have put together the list below. ALL releases will be added to this post with their Name, Level and some key attacks, skills and powers so you get an idea of what they do when team building. I will also include which pack they are from as well as any alternate version names.

To start off, Team Building for the MU / DCU is very simple.

Decide on the Level of the game. Then select models that add up to that level.

You need to choose either Superhuman, Mutant, Cosmic, Justice League or a Lantern Corps. Then Hero or Villain. Or a colour for Lantern Corps.

Neutral models will work with both Heroes and Villains.

The only other restriction is that you can't take the same 'person' twice. So no Tony Stark Mk7 and Tony Stark Mk44.

You can find all the Marvel U rules in the FREE PDF Rulebook HERE (Product Data Sheet)

As well as the Marvel FAQ and SMG cards HERE (Dropox or Scribd)

And the DC Rulebook and BMG cards HERE (Product Data Sheet)

ALL the official Marvel cards can now be found HERE

Unreleased = All Unreleased cards can be found HERE

They were either found on the KM site or leaked.

As mentioned above, this is going to be a living post with updates whenever new models or changes are released.

Marvel Universe Mini Game - Nova, Black Panther and DEADPOOL!

I'm back True Believers!
Today I'm going to have a look at the additional blister models from the first wave of releases.
Nova, Black Panther and DEADPOOL!

To start with we have the human Rocket Nova for the Guardians. The original Richard Rider.
Nova is a Level 8 Cosmic Hero
He is the fastest Flyer in the game (so far) and is packed full of power.
Nova can shoot off Nova Pulses through terrain or create a massive explosion. He can even absorb Energy from an attack to increase his own.

Next, for the Avengers we have King T'Challa, The Black Panther.
Panther is a Level 6 Superhuman Hero
Armed with Anitmetal claws, Black Panthers close combat attacks are Irresistible so effective against even the toughest targets. He can also Pounce for a boost to his movement.
As an Infiltrator skilled in Stealth attacks, he can get anywhere he needs to unharmed.

Finally we have the regenerative degenerate himself. Wade Wilson, Deadpool!
Deadpool is a Level 6 Mutant and Superhuman Hero so can join the X-Men or Avengers.
His plan is to Stab Stab and Bang Bang his way through the enemies. A skilled Assassin and Master Fighter means he will rarely miss and sometimes double his damage. If it all goes wrong, he can Bodyslide out of the way to Regenerate. To top it off he has the highest Mental Defense and is Immune to Psionic attacks because he is, well, you know, mental!

What do you think of these additions?
Will any be joining your teams?

Until next time ..... Excelsior!

Marvel 35mm Review: Deadpool and Venom from Knight Models

For the third Knight Models October release review I am heading to the Marvel universe.
This month it's two of my all time favourite characters. Venom and DEADPOOL!!!!!!!!!

Packaging is the usual Knight Models standard. Venom is in a large blister while Deadpool is in a small one.
Both have the parts held in tightly with foam and a display backing card with one side showing the characters team / affiliation logo and the other showing a painted example of the model.

Inside each blister you will find a highly detailed, 35mm scale, multi part metal model.
Venom comes in five pieces with a 40mm base while Deadpool is in four pieces with a 30mm base.
While these don't have stat cards like the Batman models, there is a Marvel rules set in the works for the near future.

Deadpool

Wade Wilson. The Merc with a Mouth. Constant breaker of the 4th wall and utter nut job.

Deadpool has found him self with the good guys and the bad in the Marvel universe. While he means well, it usually involves killing and blowing things up for a lot of money.

Deadpool is in four bits. Body, left arm, right arm and twin scabbard.
The main body has a dirt mound under one foot but it looks easy enough to remove if you want to.
As for mould lines, they are all but non existent. Very small and took seconds to clean.

Venom

Venom, the alien symbiote. First on Spiderman and Eddie Brock, currently on Flash Thompson as Agent Venom. Venom is a super powered killing machine that is difficult for the host to control.

This version is Mac Gargan. Ex Scorpion and member of the Dark Avengers.

Venom is in five parts. Legs, torso, left arm, right arm and tongue.
There were small mould lines around the torso and arms but the legs and tongue were quite clean.
Each part also has a large plug that matches a hole on the connecting piece.

Time to glue.......

Each model has had the base tab removed so they can be mounted on resin base toppers to match the rest of my collection.
Deadpool was a 'dead' easy build. The parts matched up perfectly and the model looks amazing!
Venom was a little more tricky. The large plugs had to be trimmed a little for a good fit and the waist will need a tiny bit of filler to smooth out the gap. Other than that, he looks great.

Deadpool is in stores for around £12. No more than characters for any of the bigger games, but the scale and detail is a lot more impressive than most of those others. Plus, ALL THOSE POUCHES!
Venom is around £25. He is a HUGE chunk of metal though. The muscle and symbol details make it a very imposing piece.

As I have slightly different views on these, I am going to score them separately.

Venom - 8/10 Badger Points

Deadpool - 10/10 Badger Points!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Deadpool has landed my first 10/10 here in the Knight Models ranges. As a fan this model is all I have wanted for a long time and it doesn't disappoint!

Which is your favourite?

Next up, a new line from Knight Models.

Deadpool, Batgirl and Black Mask Join new Knight Models Marvel + DC Releases

 Knight Models have just posted up the new 35mm Marvel and DC releases. And they are STUNNING!

First up is the one mini I have been waiting for. Not only since I found out about the Marvel range, but for years. DEADPOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wade Wislon (not Slade, sore subject) looks fantastic and I can't wait for the Supers rules to be able to get him on the table. But, what colours do I use? Red and back, X-Force, X-Men?

The Batman Minis Game gets a character that people have wanted since day one. Barbara Gordon a.k.a Batgirl. A new Sidekick for Batman and the Law Forces. You can see her full rules under 'Attatchments' HERE (link).
The mini looks to be full of movement and actions. Great pose.

The new crew for the Batman game is Black Mask and his Thugs, Anatoly, Mesh and a general Goon.
I wasn't sure if I wanted this as I have so many crews already, but one look at the models landed it on my shopping list straight away.
All rules can be found under the 'Attatchments' heading HERE (link)

 The final unseen release this month is a set of Joker HAHA! markers. Perfect for use as action or special counters in the game.

These all go along with the previews we have posted over the last week of Venom, Huntress and the Wayne / Queen Containers and Boxes.

Head over and check out the Knight Models Page for prices.

Which is your favorite?

Badgers Booty - Gaming News - 28/7/12

Hi again all, the Badger has reclaimed his port after yesterdays raid.
Welcome to the second Badgers Booty. Gaming news that grabs my interest.
(click any pics to view larger)

First up is a little teaser image from Pulp City

This image was posted on the Citizens of Pulp City Facebook Group and has been mentioned as a new Hero. Could it be one of the 'bigger' 3D sculpted minis that have been spoken about?
The Battlesuit will either be an indy Hero or part of the announced Classic Supremes US team.
2 names were also thrown around. Tomcat and Battlesuit 7. Which ever this is, there will be the other in the future.

Next up are a couple of images that have been floating around the net over the last couple of days.

Pictures of Eiryss 3. A great looking concept with the option of different heads. A nice touch that I hope will continue in future Privateer Press releases.

There was an awesome announcement from Wyrd Miniatures yesterday. New Neverborn and Malifaux is going PLASTIC!!

With Malifaux minis going plastic I think this will be a draw to a lot of new players. I have recently started myself and with the above new minis I already want to start a second Faction. Some very twisted looking things but I think that's the attraction.

Deepwars from AntiMatter Games is coming together very nicely after their successful Kickstarter campaign.
In the last week they have posted some preview pictures of the 4 Starter Sets.

From top to bottom you have the Fortune Hunters, Dark Mariners, Ancients of Atalan and the Scaly Horde.
Being a Skirmish game set under the water I am really looking forward to picking the minis and rules up.
Think I'm going to start with the Fortune Hunters and Dark Mariners

 A little bit of Blog news as well today.
Expect to see a new BIG Supreme competition in the next few days.
There are also going to be more videos from the Badgers Wench soon  (see yesterdays post)

A couple of questions for my readers as well
If you could pick a mini for me to paint which would it be from -
1) The entire Pulp City range?
2) Any Warmachine Merc Pirates?

Finally for today with have a bit of news that isn't tabletop gaming.
