DC Universe Miniatures Game Preview

Hey there folks.

For those that may have the Suicide Squad box already, you would have seen a DC Trinity picture in there advertising the upcoming DC Universe Miniatures Game from Knight Models.

No more was know about it....... until today!

Here is the first rules preview for the game.

Kal-EL, Superman, Henry Cavill.
You may recognize the card layout from the Marvel Game. Well that's because they will be running on the same rules!

Exclusive - Speed Force Paradoxes in the Batman Mini Game

Last week on the blog we had a great Speed Force preview from Knight Models. You can check it out HERE.
Today we get a look at the next part of the Speed Force. Paradoxes!
(Click images to view in full size)

When a model uses a Speed Power that includes a Paradox value, they must roll a dice.
If the result equals or beats the value in the Power, they must immediately roll 2D6 on the Paradox table below.

The resulting effect on the Paradox table is applied straight away and if the Speedster survives, the Speed Power they were trying to use fails, losing any Speed counters spent and activation passes to the next Speedster or next game phase if they are no more Speedster to spend Power.

There are a lot of interesting effects there like Yesterday Again? or What Happened? but i think the two to really watch out for are the 2 and 12 results.
2 removes the Speedster from the game an 12 means the Black Flash chases them down.

How does the Black Flash work? Well, with books shipping any day now I'm sure we will find out soon.

What do you think of thes Paradox Effects?
Will you be taking the risk? Or keeping your Speedsters to the lower Powers?

CW Flash and Arrow head for the Batman Mini Game!

This has just been posted up on the Knight Models site.
Oliver Queen and Barry Allen from the CW TV series will be the focus of the first expansion for the Batman Mini Game!

I know we have an Arrow model and a Nyssa model already, but I can't wait to see what else they come up with.

I wonder if this will also contain the Vehicle rules and Themed teams like the Suicide Squad that KM have mentioned recently?

What do you want to see from this expansion?

Building the Asylum

As you may have seen the other day, the fantastic team over at Knight Models sent over this fantastic Arkham Asylum kit for me to test out.
Before I cover it in more detail, I thought I would post up a few WIP pics.

I do need to state though that this is a PROTOTYPE kit and has one or two things that need changing before the final release.
Luckily, anything I found was reported to KM and fixed the same day!

Above you can see the main body of the Asylum. I did mean to take pictures as I was building it, but to be honest I was just too damn excited!!!!

Next step of the main buildings. Adding the balconies to the front and back and the towers with gargoyles on top.

Another shot of the finished main building. This thing is HUGE!!!!! That board it's sitting on is 3 feet wide.

The next step was the Arkham Guard towers and front gate with pair of angels. The right angel make look like the base is off to the side a bit, but I wanted the wings central. The base will be covered with grass and such anyway.

Prepping the outer fences. That is a pair of GW clippers to give you a sense of scale.

Aaaaaaand built! This thing takes up an entire 3x3 board all on it's own. I have added a couple of little tweaks to cover the areas that needed fixing but I'll show them in more detail next time.
Now I just need to decide on paint and how I'm going to do the board.
Grass and paths like in the Rulebook?
All concrete courtyard like is shown in Gotham?
A mix of courtyard and grass like Assault on Arkham?

What do you think?

A Killer Frost comes to the ACL

The Arkham City Limits Facebook Group has another preview today for the Batman Minis Game from Knight Models.

Louise Lincoln a.k.a Killer Frost.

This design is from DC's Injustice universe so I wonder if we will see any more of those designs in the future?

To add to the Batman goodness this week, the August DLC packs for Arkham Knight have just been announced.
BURTON BATMAN AND BATMOBILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Batman Exclusive Preview - Arkham Knight Harley Quinn Crew

Knight Models have just sent over an awesome preview. The first of their Arkham Knight releases.
A Harley Quinn Crew box!

After the events of Arkham City and the loss of her Puddin', Harley has lost it even more.
She has gathered together a selection of thugs and wants to take down B-Man once and for all.

The model is a great representation of Harley from the game. Darker and nastier than before. Her 'boys' bring along some new weapons as well. A sawn-off shotgun, jackhammer and chainsaw!!!!

Harley works as a new Leader model for the Joker crew. At 80 Rep and packing an SMG, she can cause a lot of problems on here own.
Harley's Special Traits of Bluff, Escape Artist and Play Nice show she has her 'boys' under control and trained to fool their opponents just like she can and if Mr J can't lay his hands on her any more, nobody can!

Being Joker Affiliation also means that this new Crew box already has a TON of Joker thugs already out that can be added to Harley's forces and an equipment list in the rulebook ready to go.

What do you think of Arkham Knight Harley Quinn and her crew?

Exclusive Batman Court of Owls Preview - The Talon William Cobb

The fantastic team at Knight Models  have just sent this over.
A preview for William Cobb. A Talon for the new Court of Owls crew,

Cobb is THE Talon. Well, the first one that Batman meets anyway. Ancient reanimated assassin and Dick Grayson's great grandfather. Cobb takes out anyone the Court want him to and especially likes killing Waynes.
This model seems to have been pulled straight out of the pages of the comic as it captures the character and details perfectly.

Cobb comes in at 68 Rep and is only a Henchman! This makes it look like the court may be a low powered Leader and some very strong but expensive Henchmen. An elite force that can take on any challenge.

Armed with some Blood giving knives, Cobb uses Combo, Martial Artist and Precise Blow to become a serious threat in close combat.
Getting in to combat won't be a problem for him either. Deploying further with Undercover and then using Elusive to help avoid ranged attacks means Cobb will have no trouble crossing the board.
Don't forget that Henchmen can take Equipment as well. Do Stealth or Climbing Claws sound like good additions?
If he is taken down, "Reanimated Owl" lets him reroll the KO recovery roll and get back into the action much quicker. While he sound all round amazing, he does have a big weakness. The cold!
Mr Freeze can cause some serious extra damage to this Talon if he isn't careful.

What do you think of this Talon?
Are the Court of Owls going to be your next / first crew?
