Interesting, wonder if they will be introducing new comic lines.

Not sure if I would buy into the game but would love to buy a joker mini,

I love the designs from Arkham series so yeah, give me that Croc Man, Bane and Joker.

Interested in this one!

I love the Killer Croc mini though never remember him having undead like minions like in the pic. Curious how the game plays and when there released.

Very interesting. I'm suprised to see this happen while Heroclix are still around. The model quality is vastly better at least.

These are standard Arkham Joker thugs.

REALLY looking forward to this one!

I find myself gravitating more towards 'skirmish' scale games these days, for cost and time reasons.

This one could fit the bill nicely...

I'm in!

Give me Harley Quinn and I'm in.

This image of the Joker's Sculpt has also been going around.

I found it on their facebook in the comments from a few weeks ago.

That stuff looks sweet!

Batman Miniature Game is a skirmish turn-based miniature game.

The first thing is band creation, you will love this part because there will be a lot of possibilities.

Batman universe has a very rich and detailed background, with over 65 years of comic-books, tv shows, movies, etc.

The idea is that there will be bosse like the Joker, Penguin, Two-Face .... and they can fight each other as well. On the other hand many characters of the Batman Universe are not so important to form their own band, these are called "free agents" and will ally to one side or the other according to that point of the story and their background. Each boss can have sidekicks and lackeys, or be replaced by one of them, these sidekicks will modify the way you play with that band.
Each character will have a Reputation value (is the equivalent to what other games call "cost" or "points"). Also some characters will cost USD because they have some special rules or expensive equipment. Dollars will be used to buy additional equipment for your lackeys as well.

Turn will be divided in several phases, first Plan Preparation. The Motivation score will determine the number of actions each character can take each turn, in this phase you will distribute this tokens forming your plan. The plan is open so the opponent can see where you place your tokens, making a very tactical and deep game.

Then comes the activation phase of the miniature, eachn player take turns activating the habilities of the characters following the previous plan, p.e. Batman can use the Batclaw or throw a Batarang, Bane can use a Titan dosis, a Clown his Insane Laughter... as we release figures you will discover the potential of each character and their rules. Each character will be special and charismatic so the player can feel the resemblace to comics, video games and movies of this wonderful world.

After activation phase the turn is over and any effect or recovery of the characters is resolved (yes!, characters can recover from KO or heal injuries).

There will be scenarios (we want it to be an spectacular game!), but I prefer to tell no more, we want you to discover many surprises when the game is available.

This looks like it could be really good and thats just from the minis.

My thoughts exactly. I like the models, but I'm happy enough with the Clix gameplay for my comic game needs(plus, you get more than just Bats, his family, and rogues). May pop some of these on some Clix bases, but that'd be about it.

Very very cool. Much better than the test models GW had for their proposal.

Licensing, especially for a vast sprawling franchise like Batman can be frighteningly specific. I remember reading once that some marketer noticed they had given a license to one company to make Batman figures larger than 2", and a license to another for Batman figures smaller than 2"...

So they went and issued a 3rd company a license for figures that were exactly 2" tall.

So I would guess the license for Hero Clix is something like "28mm scale pre painted collectable figures for use in games with maps"

While Knight Models has "28mm scale unpainted figures for use in miniature war games on tabletops"

Where is the "buy right now" button lol very slick looking miniatures!

A Batman game. Based on Arkham City.

Holy crap do I just give them my bank account number, or what? Arkham City is easily one of my fav games of all time. I’ve played it through start-to-finish about 5 times (the first three times back to back).

This could be good.

Arkham Asylum/Arkham City models?

Sign me up!

I really hope they do Nightwing and Tim Drake. Those would be some seriously worthwhile display models for me, alongside of Bats of course.

Shut up and take my money!!!

where do I sign up!!!!

Like everything else Batman related, not buying into it unless and until Cassandra Cain(The one true Batgirl) shows up.

HOLY fething gak.

I need to stop clicking on the news and rumors forum. These look fantastic, especially the Joker.

As a person that is extremely critical of Batman and his seemingly unbeatable-ness, this is really drawing me in. Maybe Marvel will follow suit and make good looking minis also.

If Red Hood from the animated movie "Under the Red Hood" is in I'll be pleased as punch. Well, already am, Arkham Asylum was an ace game!

TAKE MY MONEY, TAKE IT ALL NOW!!!

I'm a huge Batman fan and this as a wargamer is the holy grail.

I felt a great disturbance in the nerdom, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in squealing and were suddenly subjected to more squealing. I fear something terrible has happened to our bank accounts...

I expect to pay through the nose for this, after all it is Knight M models, but man do they look like they are quality so far.

I look forward to seeing these up close and personal.

I can see me getting this, even if it's just for the mini's

Can we get some more details?
