Not for a while, seems they're having issues balancing everything. It's a lot harder to fine tune then the Batman game was for them from what I've heard.
Granted the last time I heard the whisperings of it was a month ago or so
Little Batman snippets from today. Knight models will be releasing the fences and gates to Arkham Asylum soon with the possibility of the whole Asylum building facade that could be seen on the demo tables at Salute today.

Not read it through yet but my first spirits issued the Batsuit Mk1 looks better than Mk2?
So far I have
Arkham origins Batman
The Dark Knight
Arrow
Alfred
From the sounds of it, if I were to actually plkay the game, the James Gordon set is pretty important?
Although, I probably wouldn't be getting many more actual models for now. Maybe Catwoman or if the do Canary / Black Canary from Arrow
You have a pretty solid start there in terms of bruisers, as for Gordon he helps quite a bit depending on the list you want to run, want a lot of elite SWAT's, you need Gordon to run more than one.
He's not a necessity though, you could easily run a few beat cops without him as well.
One of the things you'll find with a crew of few characters is you have to play aggresive to get ahead, due to it being very objective based, it's easy to get spread thinly, which is why cops help immensely.
I've done a bit of reading and it seems that, providing I cheat a little bit and use the other Green Arrow rules instead of Arrow, I have a viable force if I get these guys:
Both forms of Arrow can lead their own bands. But you could fudge it a bit and use TV Arrow as the sidekick type to use with Batman.
And you can use police with or without Gordon. And you can use police with Batman, Arrow, Law, Two Face, Black Mask, and Organized Crime bands under the right terms, so police have become valuable for their versatility.
I've done a bit of reading and it seems that, providing I cheat a little bit and use the other Green Arrow rules instead of Arrow, I have a viable force if I get these guys:
"Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes…then all of this…all of this…was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars."

Not news so apologies but didn't where else to post it. Are there any members of the Arkham City Facebook group here ? I have tried repeatedly to join and my request is just ignored. I don't use Facebook much but I am sure I have requested right. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

As a new collector of this game (just the miniatures at the moment, I haven't yet played the game) I have to say that the quality of sculpting for this range has absolutely blown me away.
I'm just painting up a couple of the Joker's clown mobsters, and about to start on the Heath Ledger Joker. Not only have they got the sculpt of his face right, they've got his posture from his acting in the film absolutely dead-on.
Absolutely incredible, I don't quite know how this range has managed to escape my notice for this long!

Well, I'll do a nice/crappy thing here then:
Go check out their 28mm Star Wars models that they used to do. They're equally incredible.
Then cry into your dice bag with me, knowing they're nearly impossible to get.
Does Knights make a Storm model yet? I JUST heard about the Mutant Revolution game and I have Cyclops and Wolverine already, with easy access to Magneto. But I couldn't remember if there was a Storm, and I hate Heroclix minis with a passion.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Due to work, I can usually only ship any sales or trades out on Saturday morning. Please trade/purchase with this in mind.

Only at 70mm so far.
They're slowly making their way through 28mm. I'm hoping for a Beast myself.

I could have sworn I saw a Beast model before-in a similar pose to Spidey. Am I losing my mind? Bummer about Storm so far. Not because I'm a fan of her, but I'd feel awful putting a Heroclix storm on the table next to a Knights Minis Cyclops, Magneto and Wolverine. Thanks for the heads up, I'm pretty unable to get on the Knights website while at work.

Their marvel line has hit a slump with all the batman releases. Some of the marvel models also suck bad hard. Hopefully when they get round to the supers game the marvel line will start getting bigger and better
