Arkham Knight is the first PS game I actually really played. Normally I am extremly lousy in console games, I grow up on PC classics like Wing Commander, Ultima Underworld etc. So normally I have big troubles to use a console controller. But Arkham Knight motivated me enough to PLAY the game. Naturally I wanted some AK minis. Knight Models will eventually bring some nice minis out, I am sure of that. But I wanted them NOW, so time to dig in the bits box.

The minis below are a AR armed Arkham Knight gunman, the Arkham Knight himself, a sword thug and a knife fighting thug. They work IMO pretty well scalewise!

Minis used: Warzone Light Airborne Infantryman, Warzone Infantry with Infinity head, Heroclix and Knight Model Bane thug.


The Knight himself.


The knife fighter is out of the Bane box, I just painted him in AK colours.


The sword fighter is based on a HeryClix mini.

Impressive! I'm waiting on the 'official' versions myself but these certainly hold up!

OK, back to Batman! While progressing slowly in the AK PS4 game I just could not resist painting the excellent Knight Model Batman.


And the Mk8 Suit also gets its Zombicide Card.


Since the new Batmobile is just too good to be left out I searched for a suitable model. I know of two, the Eaglemoss Batmobile in combat mode and the Hot Wheels Elite car. While the Eaglemoss model seems to be more detailed it is just a bit too big, so I went for the Hot Wheel car. The model below got a bit of repaint here and there.


And as usual more pics on my Website: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/dc.html

Awesome, and I love the Batmobile! Might have to track down one myself!

Insane work! What scale are these?

Well the KM Batman minis are tall 35mm minis. The cars are 1/43.

Really nice miniatures and car. That batmobile is pretty pricey though.

Batman Beyond - Batman What? - I can here some of the more unenlighted Batman fans ask.... In fact like me 2 weeks ago. Batman Beyond (aka Batman of the Future) is an American animated television series created by Warner Bros. Animation in collaboration with DC Comics as a continuation of the Batman legacy.
It is about a teenaged Batman in a futuristic Gotham City under the tutelage of an elderly Bruce Wayne, the series began airing in 1999, and ended its run in 2001.

I was getting aware of it after receiving the really good looking Beyond skin in Arkham Knight.
See:

So I searched a bit and got the series. To my amazement I liked it - a lot!

Consequently I need a cool mini for it. My Arkham Knight conversion made me look into Infinity minis. A quick into my lead pile showed me the Nomad new Mobile Brigada. Not a perfect fit, but close, so I filed the bunny ears into pointy Batears and painted him black and red. I am happy with the look.

The big gun is not really fitting to Batman, in my eyes it is just the all new Mk 8 Multi Gadget with integrated Remote Hacking Device, Disruptor, Voice Synthesizer, Freeze Blast and Remote Electrical Charge!


So the Bat needed a new car, or? In the animated series Batman is using an ultrasleek hover car, but I wanted a more down to earth rugged car. The Clearhorizonminiatures Nemesis light strike vehicle was just right. It even had similar weapon and tool loadout as the new Batmobile in Arkham Knight! The gun, the rockets and even a winch!
The model is nicely designed but the actual casting is a bit flawed, you can still see some mold lines on the above model (and that is after a lot of smoothing and milliputting...). But if you like the look and are a reasonable modeller go for it!

Very cool! Totally unfamiliar with this version of Batman (sounds like DC's answer to Marvel's '2099' series), but might well look into it. Nice conversion, it certainly doesn't look out of place or anything.

Was the same for me! Only after getting the new skin in AK I looked into Batman Beyond, worth IMO!
