I don't think they should be too concerned about Monolith.

As far side know, Monolith are doing a one-and-done kickstarter due to their difficulties getting stores to stock Conan.

While, yes, it could hurt the sales of individual minis (EG Croc) them probably find overall that period just buying the board game probably won't have heard of their game. Or people will buy both.

Because we Are talking franchises and fans here after all.

They should if they keep up their crappy attitude. A lot of folks are waiting for the monolith ks to get minis to use so they dont have to give km cash. Their models may be nice but km as a company are a stain on wargames

Show me on the dolly where KM hurt you...

There are some pretty models in the Monolith offering (lovely Bane) but if it is just the niche of people who play BMG and dont want to giver KM money, well there is Heroclix for that.

I have had more issues with quality control over the past month. This will be the 3rd time I have to contact customer service due to something missing.

Ive had more issues recently too with qc. I placed two orders for around $600 of bmg each (tried to get all the metal stuff before it went away). One out of four packages was either missing pieces, miacast, or missing cards. Right now I'm still missing:

Card for one of the Gorillas
Sinnestro arm
Entire body for a metal amazon
Entire body of a spice minion (two face spice set)
Miscast bane guy with armor and rifle
Several bases

I've emailed them a couple times and got no response. I gave up and placed an order with miniature market to make sure I get metal replacements...

I also bought the new batman starter... batman had a broken ear (missing the broken piece). I bought two more sets, each had broken ears with one about half the length of the other... gd it all!

My rule book order from October turned up today.

Metal Swamp Thing - No idea what they have done to his body but it's filthy, should be able to clean it up. All parts present.

Zatanna - All fine.

Demon / Jason Blood - Blood is fine but Demon is missing half a foot. Will be awkward but can green stuff something together.

Constantine - Have the body, missing the left arm with spirit attachment.

Knightfall Batman - Missing a chunk of the cape, will be awkward but should be able to green stuff a repair.

Red Son Superman - All okay.

So will just need to request the missing arm for Constantine.

Still waiting for a response to my last customer service request where my Flashpoint Batman came with a leg / arm sprue but no body and a Deathstroke who was missing half his head.

Just checked my unmade Batman starter and he thankfully has two ears present.

Quality control has never been great from Knight models but seems to be suffering even more with the move to Resin, hopefully when they become more experienced it will become better. I don't know a lot about resin production but one of the main issues I am coming across is that the moulds are being under-filled so some extremities (Batman ears, models feet, cloaks, etc) are missing.


Edit: Was really keen to play a Justice League Dark squad back in October when I placed my original order. Not certain how I will actually feel when I finally get the models ready in March when I anticipate I will get replacement parts.

it's more likely a bit of a previous castings (eg ear) has broken off in the mould so every cast from now on will be dud until they replace the mould (or dig it out),

a pretty common problem with resin when you're trying to cut costs

If you receive a cast that has defects, it should be replaced (at the cost of sending the miniature back to the company). If I buy a new pair of jeans, I wouldn't accept it having holes, even if I could fix them with needle and thread.

I hope they sort their casting issues out, as this has been going on for quite some time now. They have some really ace miniatures that I wouldnt mind getting at one point or another.

I do “love” that predicting/worrying they’d have casting/qc issues with the resin is what got me banned from ACL, but low and behold.

Hey gang, just to say my contest for 2nd edition is up
https://bigcomicpage.com/2017/12/29/gravens-new-year-giveaway-starters-orders/comment-page-1/#comment
Crazy amount of stuff to be won, 5 starters, 2 sets of Set of Buildings, Set of objectives, lampposts, sewers and Dice, and a
Print rulebook. Have at it!

@inmygravenimage, very cool contest you got going there just giving you props... won't be participating because I don't use FB but still.

@ all.... did anyone else place an order for the stuff last month my vendor is still saying the Magic book is on back order or some BS like that and that is why my stuff hasn't shipped. (ordered 2 face resin crew, batgirl, enchantress, and magic book)

Anyone else having this problem or know about this?

As far as I know, in the UK at least, my last order is sitting waiting at the store for me to pick up since around Christmas Eve.

Where, naturally, I had already left to do Christmas things with family.

The books only got to km on 19th December afaik. They had real probs with their printers. All a bit chaotic :/

@angel thanks

Somewhat OT, but I got to play through Monolith's Batman Miniature Board Game the other night. My thoughts are here:

Have a look and see what you think

New Harley Quinn with Hyenas for next month.

Will probably pick that one up at some point but holding off on new purchases the moment as still haven’t received a reply to my customer service enquiry from mid December (skipped all the January releases for same reason).

Todays February release announcement is Raven -

I would have preferred Teen Titans Raven, not busty adult Raven.

I think this version is quite nice!

Not sure if I'll ever jump back in here though, what with the impending release of the Monolith (?) Batman boardgame.

Though I do still want to get Superman and company on the table too.

I do still wish they hadn't dumped/been dumped by Marvel though.

Exalted we do need teen titan go versions it's true
I think this version but with non flesh legs will be fine. Yes she's a bit full up top but she's not total cheesecake. Small mercies.

Sooooo can we get DCU rules for Nightwing yet?

Hopefully this will work, linking from Facebook gets grumpy...

Harley rules are out.





And today's announcement is a new Oliver.




I'm not entirely sure of the tasche, but maybe that's just the lighting or the way the painting is done..

Freddie Mercury is The Arrow??? , needs to be painted yellow.

Freddy Mercury? Nah, totally Danny McBride.

Harley is neat simply for being usable in any crew. The possibility of Harley and the new Catwoman using their Sirens ability in other crews is exciting. And Bud and Lou are VERY strong, especially in a Joker crew. I often outnumber my opponents, and being able to hit many people on like, 2's? Seems very good.

Bummed that the Green Arrow is a TV version and not the Rebirth one since a lot of the new stuff is Rebirth themed. The face is painted very well from a technical standpoint, but... God it's ugly hahah. Makes him look old, gaunt, and swollen at the same time.

So is the harry potter game just not happening?...

Last I heard it was in some sort of final approve nightmare from Warner Brothers / J K Rowling and they had a ton of already created stock they couldn’t sell sitting in a warehouse but this was last autumn. Knight Models have stopped replying to any comments from what I have seen since. Sounds like it’s a bad situation and not one that is necessarily the fault of Knight Models.

It definitely feels like a repeat of Marvel where they just stop talking about it or answering questions and it goes away.

^ A little from column A, a little from column B. As I understand things are finally getting sorted.
