Sounds good any news on release? model costs or starter set?

[eldargal]

Nope, that's all the information so far.

I may have to join you... O_O

Pfft, get your own bunk.

This game idea makes me cry............

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Don't just say that and not give a reason...

[White Tiger88]

Don't just say that and not give a reason...

Its a BATMAN GAME!!! For miniatures they seem to put out super hero attempts all the time and they all fold....Plus those sculpts arnt to my taste.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Batman is cool?

[DrLove42]

Looks awesome. Will likely have to keep an eye on this

I wouldn't be averse to a couple of Harlequin models to paint...

[DarkDesigner]

They seem to be using a lot of images from the Batman Arkham Asylum games, is the Rocksteady studio involved in this at all? Would be awesome if they were, I reckon they'd be able to translate it over a lot easier :) I hope this is released soon!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Oh gods. I want the Joker.

Mark Hamill was an excellent Joker in my opinion, Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are amongst my favourite games of all time.

Also, Ra's al Ghul would be cool too.

[Phototoxin]

I'm assuming they won't be coming painted - I only wonder as I don't know how much overlap between comic books and wargaming there is. Will it put people off buying/playing?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'd want to paint them myself to be fair...

[Deadlift]

Bane would be hard for me not to buy :) Nightwing would be cool and of course the Batman too.

It's a standard 35mm miniature situation from Knight models. Metal model in a blister that you glue and paint. You can already buy Batman. http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=125

I only have one of their models so far, Anakin Skywalker. They are nice models but pricey.

- Harley Quinn
- Killer Croc
- Gotham policemen

December

- donwload rules
- Penguin crew starter set
- Catwoman
- Bane

And more surprises

So getting Catwoman. I assume the rules will be free if you can download them, good idea. It will help sell models and people won't be so cranky if they aren't as good as they would like.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Not really too into Batman, I did love the 90's animated series though. Either way, those miniatures are top-notch! very impressive looking release this looks to be. I know a few bud's who are going to be super happy about this!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Bane! YUS!

[eldargal]

I love the animated series too, best Catwoman ever. Prefer the sophisticated, elegant cat burgler to the slutty thief in teh comics/video games. Though she is still great.

I think it's better than even the Nolan films, just got everything spot on IMO. Also loved it's film-noir visual style, very cool.

looking very impressive, allthough I prefer the 90's version of Harley Quin to that one.

[eldargal]

The Noir aesthetic is lovely.:) Really wish there was more of it in the Arkham video game series.

Pre-orders are up on Wayland Games too.

Hmmmmmmmmmm..... With extreme difficulty...

Though I suppose that entirely depends on how good you are at freehand. I think I'd be able to give it a try.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Bane! YEY!

[Psychosplodge]

That's Bane? he didn't look like that in the film...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

That's what he looks like traditionally, in both the comics and the Batman "Arkham" games.

[DrLove42]

Thats Bane from Arkham city. Looks awesome

Arkham city sticks closer to the comis, opposed to Nolans "realistic" films

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

(What I just said)

[Psychosplodge]

Fair enough
That's quite lazy of the film makers, I'm sure Tim "the scissors" Burton would have stuck ****loads of uv pipes on him, though considering he's never read the comics, maybe not...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Those pipes pump chemicals around his body that make him huge.

[Psychosplodge]

He does look quite a big chap...

[eldargal]

Nolan Bane looked like a gimp, Arkham City Bane > he.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

You're a gimp. :p

[eldargal]

I am the very opposite of a gimp.:p

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Kinky. :p

What, like Viagra?...

[eldargal]

Yep, when Bane threatens to break Batmans spine he won't be doing it over his knee...

[DarkLink]

WTF? It also would have completely clashed with the approach of making everything else in the trilogy quasi-realistic. It was a stylistic choice.

Nightwing is nice, they did a good job. He is such cool character.

Not so sure on the Scarecrow model, but then i wasn't the biggest fan of his look in the games. The model is nice, but not a fan.

The rest is all good

this model is so amazing i have had to order myself one! That is Bain! not that (in my opinion) terrible version in that Nolan film!

[Brakkart]

Looking through this thread I like quite a few of these figures but I'm not that thriled with the Bane figure. He's a bit too big and too many pipes for my liking, which is sadly the way he is shown in the Arkham games and now in the New 52 comics, but I preferred his look back when he first appeared in comics. Still the one for Scarecrow is even worse!

Still the Catwoman, Talia, Nightwing and Nolan Batman figures are superb. Might just have to get those. If they do Azrael I really hope they do his original comic version, as it's so much better than every version of his costume that has been done since (especially the Arkham one which is just terrible!). This is what I'd like his figure to look like:

So many heroes and rogues I'd like to see models for. Hawkman, Black Canary, Talon, Killer Moth, Azrael, Cyborg, Clayface, the list goes on. Keep it up, Knight Models :)
And just for lols, do Ratcatcher and/or Orca (at least she is slightly more legit as a threat) bahaha

[eldargal]

I'm hoping for Batwoman, her aesthetic in 52/ new 52 is gorgeous.

[DarkDesigner]

Edward Nigma.........

The Riddler has always been one of my favourite villains, I'd love to see what they're doing for his rules though as he's not exactly the sort of character you'd see in the field.

[eldargal]

Buffs/Debuffs maybe? It is an odd choice, hope the rules represent the character appropriately.

[DarkDesigner]

Buffs/Debuffs maybe? It is an odd choice, hope the rules represent the character appropriately.

I was thinking hidden deployment, and you have to solve riddles or beat up his goons to find him. Getting info out of thugs would be easy but maybe a bit of a cop out, really not sure how you'd manage a riddle mechanic though. Perhaps they could do a scenario where Batman is looking for Riddler informants within a third player's gang? Or even a turf war between two gangs and B-man picking off members to find the Riddler...

[Brakkart]

I have no idea who Sickle is, never heard of him before. I love the Commish and his SWAT team pack though, they are brilliant. The Blackgate prisoners look suitably violent too. I don't think much of the Joker's gang members.

EDIT: Had not seen the figures a few posts back, I have got to get me that Deathstroke figure, as that is just perfect. Very tempted by the Green Arrow one too. Would love them to do figures for The Question (Vic Sage and Renee Montoya versions) and Huntress.

[eldargal]

Sickle is a Batman: Arkham City character, along with his brother Hammer (yes Hammer & Sickle).

[DrLove42]

I'd never heard of Hammer or Sickle before I played Arkham City either.

[Brakkart]

Sickle is a Batman: Arkham City character, along with his brother Hammer (yes Hammer & Sickle).

*groan* Hammer and Sickle. I shouldn't really be surprised I suppose, amongst the Batman Rogues Gallery are/were characters with names like: Tweedledum & Tweedledee, KGBeast and NKVDemon.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Were they Russian? I can't remember?

[Brakkart]

KGBeast and NKVDemon were Russian yeah. Think NKVDemon was only in one story before getting killed, but KGBeast has turned up a fair few times.

He either looks exactly like Liam Neeson. Or Lincoln.

[Brakkart]

Urgh the Dark Knight trilogy version of him. I love the character and Ra's is my favourite Bat villain by a country mile, but I hate this look for him. I hope they do a figure of him based on how he looks in the Arkham games as that look rocks.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

How do you guys pronounce his name? I've heard Rahz and Raysh.

[Brakkart]

Raysh is how it was described as being pronounced by Denny O'Neil who is the writer at DC who invented him. Raysh Al Ghoul is the proper pronunciation and it translates as: The Demon's Head.

You ever want to read his origin story, get yourself a copy of Birth of the Demon. VERY good read!

[eldargal]

Raysh was also how it was pronounced in Arkham City I believe.

That's an awesome sculpt, I see that it's a 35mm collector version rather than an alternate for the game. Would be awesome if they are doing alternates for the film and game versions though :) Reckon they'll do comic versions as well? Or even back to the 90s films?

Not sure the game needed even more Joker minion figures really, but the re-done Harley is very good. Shame they went with the Arkham game version of Poison Ivy though, one of the worst looks she's ever had. The figure is okay, but could have been better I think.

[eldargal]

Agreed, not a huge fan of the model. I love Harley though.

There were some early rules that I read and it did look very complexed but that may have been the wording of the rules and the fact I didn't do a detailed read. So I am hoping these new rules are as brilliant as the models.

Batgirl page 24 & 107

Please, please, please be hints that we will see models of these characters.

Also, kudos to them for making Poison Ivy leader of her own group rather than a free agent.

I would love some models based on young justice, but young justice got cancelled because of reasons? great models though :)

[eldargal]

It got cancelled because it was popular with girls. That was literally the reason given to Paul Dini by the teevee executives. I too would like some models based on them.:) There was talk 6 months ago or more that Batgirl would make an appearance, hope that is true.

[lattd]

The rules seem very complicated and having watched the video I feel it could be a lot easier than it is.... But it may be much easier after a few games.
