Knight Models November Releases - BvS, Freeze, Flash Villain and More!

Knight Models have posted up a huge release for November. All sorts of goodies due for release from the 17th.

First up is the Batman vs Superman Trinity Starter for the DC Universe Minis Game. Coming in at 40 Lvls they will be great to face some of the Marvel Universe teams until more DC come along.

Next is something fans of the Batman Minis Game have wanted for a loooooooong time.
A very cool looking Mr Freeze starter from Arkham Knight. It even has a hockey stick henchman as a nod back to the best movie EVER, Batman and Robin!!!!

For fans of the CW Flash and Legends of Tomorrow series, there is Heatwave / Mick Rory and Captain Cold / Leonard Snart.
Heatwave is a general villain Free, as is Cold, but Cold can also be used as a Mr Freeze Sidekick. Maybe along side Killer Frost?
To top it off they also have the Teamwork rule between the two of them, as they should.

The Suicide Squad box gets new additions as well. Rick Flag to lead the Squad and a set of Q Workshop dice with Squad member themed faces.

Far almost as long as people have wanted Freeze, they have also wanted a Sidekick for Bane.
Now hes here in the form of Bird with a set of Mercs to aid him.

Below there are also a selection of tokens, counters and templates for your new goodies.


So, what do you think of this release?
Which ones stand out for you?

New Batman / Suicide Squad Buildings

Knight Models have posted up a closer look at the terrain coming in the Suicide Squad boxed set for the Batman Miniatire Game.

Not only is it printed and cut card with DC / Gotham themed decoration, it is also reversible and stackable!

There is no news yet on if these will be available separately, but from the instant demand online I expect they will be very soon.

What do you think of these sets?
Will you find a good use for them?

New Marvel / Batman/ Animated / Flash Releases!!!!

Yesterday, Knight Models hit with an EPIC amount of new releases for the Marvel and Batman games.
As I'm obviously more of a Marvelite, I will start with those

Gambit, aka Remy Lebeau, joins the X-men. A Level 7 mixed melee and ranged attacker with Acrobat and Stealth will be great addition.

Next up we have Groot for the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Groot is a Level 9 tank. A lot of defensive and healing powers as well as some decent melee make Groot very handy and very dangerous.

The Batman game doesn't just get models this month. It gets an entire expansion!
The Flash and Arrow book brings rules for new teams, the Speed Force, Vechiles, scenarios and much more.
If you pre-order (even from your local shop) you can get your hnds on your very own Black Flash. Limited Edition and comes with his own stat card.
Talking of Limited Edition, there is even an alternate comic cover you can get direct from KM.

What are Speed Force rules without Speedsters?
The Flash joins Batmans crew as a Sidekick at 125 Rep. We don't know what the Speed Force powers do yet so I can't tell you much more about him.
Professor Zoom, aka Eobard Thawne, is also her to take down the Flash by joining any of the other Villains crews except for Joker or the League. A 117 Rep Free Agent may take up a lot but I expect he's worth it.

The new team rules include the Suicide Squad. But the members can also joins crews as per the basic rules.
A New Deadshot is here for any Villian except Joker at 90 Rep and $600. His Barret can hit with up to SEVEN Blood damage!
Not as picky but just as dangerous is Captain Boomerang. Joining any Villain for 82 Rep and $350.
Armed to the teeth with boomerangs for all occasions then he can even bounce off people.

If you are a fan of the Animated style KM have been producing, this month brings the Green Arrow and Batgirl.
The Green Arrow is a 77 Rep Leader for his crew and has an awesome Boxing Glove arrow.
Batgirl is a 47 Rep Free Agent for Batman or Jim Gordon.
These models keep with the same style of basic stats and rules so are ideal for people learning or younger players.

The final model for this month is the AWESOME Hawkman.
Able to join Batman or the Green Arrow as a Free Agent, you could create your own Justice League or Legends of Tomorrow.
At 109 Rep he is a beast with some great flight abilities and Teamwork with Hawkgirl (obviously)

The goodies don't stop there.
Q Workshop have created some lovely looking Batman and Joker dice with Robin or Harley collateral damage dice. (Mrs Badger made me get the Harley one)

Last but not least is some new acrylic.
Spray templates, vehicle turn templates and Flash / Zoom tokens.

So, what do you think of the new releases?

Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey and YOUR CHOICE!

Knight Models have let out some more info on the upcoming Flash / Arrow expansion for the Batman Miniature Game.

It will have rules for using themed teams like the Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, Teen Titans and Secret Six.
With a new Deadshot and Captain Boomerang in the image, I expect we will see all sorts of great characters on the way.
Hoping for King Shark, Starfire and Red Robin myself.

KM also want to know which Free Agents you want to see next for the game.
They have a Poll on the Official BMG Faebook group - Arkham City Limits

Head over and place your vote.

Batman December Releases - Arkham Knight, Comic and ANIMATED!

Knight Models have posted up their new releases for December for the Batman Miniatures Game.
The Arkham Knight love continues but we also get some comic characters and THE ANIMATED SERIES!

First up is the man himself, Batman.
The models looks like he has jumped straight from the screen. In game he is a cheap and basic alternative to the other Bats coming in at only 80 Rep. No special rules, just his training and gadgets.

You cant have the Bat without the Cat. Animated Catwoman is another model that looks like she has been drawn in 3D. She is also another cheap and basic version. At only 50 Rep she will be a Free Agent for anyone apart from Law or Joker.

The Riddler arrives in his Arkham Knight final form. A HUGE mech suit.
Did you get all the riddles in game to face him like this?
Th model gives a lot of punch to the Riddler crew. Blood causing weapons and the ability to explode his own Bots makes them a lot more useful than just laying Clues.

Scarecrow and the Arkham Knight get more backup with the Militia Gatling Brute. Costly at 53 Rep and $850 as well as giving away extra VP, his Vulcan cannon has the ability to take out the Batmobile in one turn.

Katana comes from the modern comics to join a Batman or Green Arrow crew as a Free Agent. Deadly and skilled with her Soultaker sword, she brings some close combat punch and serious Blood damage to both crews.

The final model for this month is Black Manta. An absolute beast at 120 Rep, $350, he will join any villain apart from organised crime.
His Death Ray and massive movement could work really nicely in a New Suicide Squad led by Harley.

The finish off this months releases, the Wonderland Gang get some Markers to use as Action Counters. If they are like the Scarecrow ones last month, they will probably include the crew Equipment List as well.

All in all I think this is a fantastic month. So much so, I already have the whole lot on order.

What stands out for you this month?

Themed Crews for Batman

When I started to plan my crews for the Batman Minis Game by Knight Models, I decided to theme them a little bit. It would give a good starting point to work from for each.

In the past I hadn't really read many big DC comics. My Batman and DC experience had been the original 4 movies, a little bit of the Arkham games and more recently the Arrow series and some of the lesser known comics. So, that became the plan!

Instead of building each crew based on one of the movies or such, I have chosen to start with the inspiration and build 2 crews from each. Some models will be repeated and some will cross over, but they are going to turn in to some fantastic games.
For the characters with different versions, I have added which one I will use. The amount of Henchmen will be used to balance the sides.

First up is -

Batman the Movie / Arkham Games
As the Joker is the main villain in both of these, I decided to combine the two. Wanting to use Harley helped with that decision.

GOOD
Leader: Batman (Arkham)
Henchmen: GCPD Police

BAD
Leader: Joker (Arkham)
Sidekick: Harley Quinn (Arkham)
Henchmen: Basic Joker Thugs + Arkham / Blackgate Prisoners

This one takes a few model swaps and tweaking to work.

Free Agent: Robin (Arkham rules. Using the Nightwing model as the costume matches the movie)
Henchmen: GCPD Police

BAD

Thers two lists are mainly wishlisting as most of the choices dont have models yet but I hope to see them fill out soon.
