DEATHSTROKE CREW!!! and Batman rules updates

The latest rules update on the official Batman Forum has made a Deathstroke crew now possible.

Well, it's not exactly a Deathstroke crew, he has instead been given Sidekick Scarecrow to go along with the new Arkham Knight releases. Luckily he doesn't have a tank.

This does mean though that as a Sidekick he can be the Boss of a crew all on his own. Slade could lead the Arkham Knight's Militia or even a mob of Blackgate Prisoners or Arkham Lunatics.
Or if you wanted to you could go for a New Suicide Squad with Free Agents like Deadshot.
How about some head swaps to create Mirakuru soldiers to face Arrow?
All in all, this open up a lot of options.

The other rules changes add three new Traits. Col which has been included on Mr Freeze's gun, Gas which has been given to the other Scarecrow models and Supernatural which has been gained by Swamp Thing and Soloman Grundy.

We don't know what these Traits do 'yet' but could it be leading up to things like gas masks or even John Constantine?

You can see the full list of changes HERE and they will get added to the FAQ soon.

500K Giveaway Winners!

It's here!500K hits!
That means that 5 of you will be getting these stunning minis from Knight Models.

But first of all I want to say a massive than you again to everyone that has read, shared, commented, supported and more over these last 500K hits.
If it wasn't for all of you, I wouldn't still be doing this. You make it a pleasure to write.
There's so much more I would like to say to all of you, but for once I don't know what to write!
It truly is humbling to think that so many people are interested in what I have to say.

So, who gets the goodies?

I went to the old Random Number Generator and keep drawing numbers until I had a winner for each model. This did take a few attempts because it kept picking people that wanted Arrow and Swamp Thing after those had already gone.

The winners are........................

Arrow - Alex Hood
Swamp Thing - redben
Red Hood - Todd Henry
Deathstroke - Mugu
Loki - Stuart Thomas

Congrats to all of you!
Please contact me within 7 days to claim your prize by emailing me HERE.
Any that aren't claimed by then will be drawn again.

To those that didn't win, keep an eye out as there will be more giveaways in the future.

Can this blog make it past another 500K hits? I hope so!
There is so much coming up over the next few months. Some bits I can't talk about yet *wink* but I will be sharing them all with you as soon as I can as well as tons of other articles I have planned.

What would you like to see?
Let me know in the comments below.

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.

Batman (painting) Begins! The Arkham Dozen!

Just as I started to sort out some painting for my Batman minis from Knight Models, a challenge appeared.
Drew in the Arkham City Limits Facebook group has started the Arkham Dozen challenge.
A way for a group of people to keep each other motivated while having fun and getting some painted minis on the table.

The Arkham Dozen challenge is 12 Batman Game minis over 12 months. Minimum of one finished model a month. If everyone finished before that, another batch will start.
My initial choices are......

 Arkham Batman and Arkham Robin. A 200 Rep starter gang.

 Arkham Joker, Arkham Harley and two clowns. Another 200 Rep starter gang to face Batman.

Speedy, Green Arrow and Black Canary. 260 Rep (not quite legal) gang.

Nyssa al Ghul, Origins Deathstroke and a Ninja. 260 Rep to face Team Arrow.

The VERY rough base coats are down and I think I'm going to go with the well known schemes on all models. I haven't painted in a very long time so don't want to go for anything too adventurous to begin with.

The selection may change as the challenge goes on depending on releases. If something appears that I prefer it will make its way to the front of the queue.

I will keep the blog updated with the progress as I go.

Right, back to the painting table.
