I know this game has the old Adam West Batman as a model, but did they make any of the other old 60's style villains? A 60's style Robin? I have not seen any.

If they did, I would be in on this so fast! If I was going to get started on the Batman Miniature game, where would I start now? I understand things have changed a bit for this game?


Knight are unfortunately infamous for dumping themes part way through release, they did it with only doing Adam West, the Animated range is half done (no Joker, but Black Canary and Green Arrow?) and the recent Dark Knights Metal is a big example (they released 4 of 7 and made it very clear no more are coming).

In terms of starting up the game though, the rules are free on their downloads page here: https://www.knightmodels.com/downloads/ You want the compendium and rulebook to get a basic idea for the game, then their webstore has all models cards under product data sheet. A standard game is 350 reputation and $1500 funding (secondary points for guns and equipment). Any of the new resin starters give a good feel for the game, and they're good in terms of starters as well, being usually a third/half of a standard list, but mostly models you will use in the resins

I'm not sure where you got the. "Made it very clear no more are coming" from.

The only thing I've heard from them is more along the lines of, "not this month but sooner rather than later."

Damn, that's fantastic work! All the different materials on the costumes look great, and that shark skin is fantastic! Are you using a satin varnish to get the right surface properties? Do you have any more superhero stuff?

Really nice looking sets. I'll wait and see what else is released, but it feels like something that might get me back into the game.

Bit of a late reply, but on the DCU team card for them they only have the 4 current models. The Justice League team card had the 7 well before most of them were released, and Suicide Squad still has Amanda Waller on it. Those are examples of what I would think are "coming eventually", while the Dark Knights are in complete limbo as to whether they'll ever come out at all

This month is looking like its going to be one hell of a great release set though. Some awesome things coming, they should've announced pre-orders yesterday though for Batman Day...

I can't seem to find any forums to discuss crew builds. I really like the game and I like being able to read strategy and build discussions to better understand how things work, especially in a newer or unfamiliar game. As it relates to this thread. I just bought the new Poison Ivy set with the 3 plants and new equipment card and it got me thinking about two things. First, should I use this Ivy over the one from the Gotham City Sirens set? Second, I would buy equipment card sets akin to what GW makes for Batman crews. I'll most likely make them myself. Any answers to my questions or comments would be appreciated.

Check out the Discord, Arkham Rejects here: https://discord.gg/eqPSWaa. Pretty active community with what I would consider the better players worldwide all in it (not banned like certain other places), with separate sections to talk about each faction

On the Ivy point, both are very good. The large one is more of a direct model than the Sirens one though, who likes to sit back on objectives and rack up VP that way. It really just depends on play style for them

EDIT forgot to actually put in the Discord link, added it now

Hi everyone, over the last couple of months I've been working on a blog dedicated to BMG, talking various tactics for the game and going over my opinions on specific models. You can find it here, hope everyone enjoys it!

Really enjoyed reading this. It's surprisingly difficult to find good discussions for this game. Thanks!

Discord and the podcasts are all I can recommend, they're far better than my ramblings. Boy Wonders and Little Gotham are both excellent podcasts

Yeah, I listen to both of those along with GCPD. I've not bothered with Discord, but I'm finding more and more its something I'll have to look into.
