Does this include the Marvel models as “exclusive”??

Nah, it's this lot:



As a sidenote, don't buy that bundle, it's more expensive than buying them individually.

It looks like it's free shipping for £50 orders pre-discount.

And orders of £75 or so get Hawaiian Shirt Joker for free.

Hawaiian Shirt Joker has gone now, I believe. I still had him in my basket from last month but he vanished when checking out, tried to make a new order on my PC as well since but he isn’t automatically adding to cart like he used to. (There may have been a very short crossover when he was still available at same time as Black Friday deals but appears to have been removed quite quickly)

edit: Just seem he seems to be back again since I tried earlier today

First, all models that have been exclusives to this point are on sale as regular purchases this week.

Just want to point out that this isn't quite true, it isn't everything. Red Hood Joker, Alfred, Black Flash and Arkham Knight Sniper aren't available, it's only everything since Gencon last year.

Great value in the sale though, some of the other bundles are good collections. All the limited models are very good sculpts and rules, and its great to see a few more things being taken off the Eternal list (which I assume is happening because Batmatch isn't available atm).

I found he would only appear in my cart if I had the currency set to €.

New box set, League of Assassins: The Demon's Heir
https://www.knightmodels.com/en/batman-miniature-game/the-league-of-assassins-demon-s-heir.html

The two new characters, and a new Talia:



Also Ratcatcher
https://www.knightmodels.com/en/batman-miniature-game/ratcatcher.html

They've been putting out excellent stuff lately and Standard really feels like a game with a lot more thought put into it than ever before. I've been really enjoying the game since the change.

Talia's stuff is really cool but I kind of hate the Heretic on principle. Rapidly aged evil clones are the worst narrative trope out there.

I agree with you on Heretic, but for the rest of the models in the set, particularly Talia and Cheshire I can forgive it.

This set is getting me one more person to play against as I try to talk more people into the game.

I'm glad KM releases stuff every month, but I wish they'd toss some hints out at future models coming down the pipeline.

At this point I'm just waiting for Militia to hit a Batbox and then I'll go full in.

They throw up the riddle things on their Facebook page, but that's not really a long term thing. I get the impression that their production capabilities are pretty limited and what they release is kind of bound to the demands on their production line.

Ever since doing resin their prices have went down yet their quality went up. I commend them, when a certain other company went to fine crap, all their prices did was go up and their quality went down exponentially.

Their new models and box boxes are excellent.

A silent release, likely because none of the models are new, but....

Militia is out in Resin, and the superior Arkham Knight model (previously campaign book preorder limited model) is in the box.

very nice but I got them in metal and they are nice

Yeah, I've got all of them except the Shieldguy, Night Stick LT and Brute.

But I got them again anyway because I prefer resin and my metal ones took a little beating when I moved.

If they’ve done the militia maybe they’ll release the robot tanks they teased with rules in the Arkham Knight book but never mde available?

We probably need the full vehicle rules before that, the ones we originally got are incompatible with 2nd edition. There's also a new Batmobile teased in the compendium that we never got, so plenty to do vehicle wise

Alas, my sources inside tell me we're not getting vehicles again anytime soon except as equipment style upgrades, as per Lobo and Penguin.

Newest releases for Batman,

A new version of Batwoman, who seems like she's really good rules wise and I really like that model.

And Archie + Joker Bikers, Bikers are a neat addition I think.

https://www.knightmodels.com/en/batman-miniature-game/archie-joker-s-bikers.html

Excited to get Batwoman back. Hopefully they'll update the Team document soon to put her in Bat-Fam ( and fix Society).

Her rules are cool, but man that’s a lot of special rules and text on her card.

And they're still getting her name wrong...

Kathy Kane = The original Batwoman who wore yellow and was in love with Bruce. She was written out of continuity years ago and was briefly brought back to meet the current Batwoman in a story written by Grant Morrison.

Kate Kane = The current Batwoman who wears black and red. She's Bruce Wayne's cousin who debuted in '52' and has romantic relationships with Renee Montoya and Maggie Sawyer. She was also kicked out of the military because of 'Don't Ask Don't Tell.' And recently guest starred in the Arrowverse shows with a pilot for her own TV show recently being filmed.

Kate has been called Kathy on occasion in the comics. Though you are right, she's typically just Kate.

I thought that was really weird too, but I haven't been following Detective Comics lately, so I wasn't sure if it was a modern thing (like Clayface in Bat-Fam).

Given they advertised Power Ring with the Green Lantern Oath on their Facebook page the other week, they probably just don’t know the distinction between Kathy and Kate. On the other hand... paint her yellow.

They updated the team document to put Batwoman in it and more importantly bandaid the disaster that is the society team.

Today's announcement, a new starter, using The Dark Knight Rises as its base. While Im not the biggest fan of the film the set looks interesting.

"A comprehensive starter set, this box is packed full of models and accessories – everything you need to start playing the Batman Miniature Game. Based on the events in the Dark Knight Rises movie, this boxed set contains two complete crews (Batman, Catwoman and the GCPD vs Bane and his mercenaries), including a Batpod and – for the first time – the Tumbler Batmobile! You’ll also find full-colour, slot-together card scenery, markers and counters, cards, and a set of quickstart rules. This is the ultimate boxed set for BMG."

I'm kind of "over" mixing in the Dark Knight aesthetic, but this is a really nice set I'm sure I'll pick up.

Of note, the set comes with rider models for both Batman and Catwoman.

Has anyone else had problems with the quality of Knight Models resin models?

I picked up a Joker Bat-Box on sale a while ago and I'm finally getting around to assembling it, and I don't think I've ever been more disappointed. Not only is it missing pieces, but the resin is really brittle (feels like the figures are cast in charcoal). Tons of flash, nothing fits together, messed up features (including one guy who had his face cast from two unaligned molds and another with half his face damaged beyond repair - completely unfixable). I'm ready to chuck the whole lot in the trash.

Did I get a bad batch, or is the quality always this bad?

I think you got a bad batch, because as of yet I have had no issue with their resin.

Have you contacted them? Last time I had an issue i contacted them, sent a picture and got a replacement. Took a couple weeks, but I was allowed Toledo the messed up stuff for conversions.
