I was the first to carry them in the U.S for the batman line but I'm dropping them due to the issues I've had with them. Unprofessional which is too bad as amazing models. Once I can finally get the refunds I'm personally done with them.

actually, CMON and Fantization had them from day one, since they just made the transition from Star Wars 28mm to Batman 28mm as Knight Models themselves did...
sorry to hear it has been so much trouble for you to stock these minis, as they are beautiful...
Knight Models have produced some of my favorite minis of the last 5 years...

Corvus Belli seems to be the only Spanish 28mm mini producer to have their heads on straight...
KM and AoW need to get their acts together...

kudos for all your hard work...
too bad it's been frustrating...

cheers

I know Corvus is solid but no I had them in stock before C'MON as they didn't get them until March. The batman of course the first overall dealer in North America was Warpath Distribution.

Bummer!

I guess I'll have to find a different source for Knight Models Batman minis here in the US!

Miniature market sells them. Though they are a month behind. Well now with heath joker out two months.
Ordering direct is really the fastest way to get it in the us right now. Takes two weeks.
My only issue is its best when orders are I think 75 or maybe 100 then its free shipping. Since I only need heath joker it costs 30$ to get him here. Little to much at this time. Ill have to wait for next releases to grab him.

not trying to start an argument here, bro...
just pointing where i had been getting my Knight Model minis for the last 4 years...
i didn't realize that you were only counting Batman 28mm, and not the company's minis as a whole...

cheers

I know Simple Miniature Games distribute them in the UK and has had similar problems in getting hold of stuff - it's always late and Knight Models tend to provide wrong info about what is coming and when so that the new stuff doesn't arrive with the re-stocks (even when they specifically said to them it was shipping at the same time) .

However it's a really good game with awesome models so lets hope el' Spanish get their act together and get their distributors and customers supported properly

I feel your pain EmpChild. Miniature companies are walking all over retailers. You put a lot of work into supporting and generating interest in the game. Rather than reward you, you get grief from them.

Use click figures for the batman game. Problem solved. Cut them off of the click bases and remount them/ repaint them.

Inexpensive alternative.

I don't think it's a money issue for most people honestly. I have learned that gamers always find a way to afford their toys.

The expense is not the problem.

The horrible supply/distribution line is.

Yeah, the models look great, the rules are average and a bit of a work in progress. Clicks as stand ins is not really a long term fix, although good idea.

Well thanks Kal-El.

I've got The Dark Knight on pre-order from wayland. I might need to get Supes as well.

SUPERMAN MAN OF STEEL 35 mm




BATMAN MINIATURE GAME 35mm












Gracias

I'm not loving these ones...

Why does the female police officer have her boobs out? I don't remember that in the game!

The male seems to be armed with some kind of laser pistol, I don't remember that either!

League of Shadows look incredibly generic. I can't help but think there's better ninjas elsewhere in the world at near enough that scale.

And finally, Superman's face seems weird... It's certainly not near the likeness of, say, GW's stuff 12 years ago when LOTR came out. Despite the bigger scale.

Those are awful.

Those do seem really sub par.

The superman sculptor seems to be living in an alternate universe where a young Marlong Brando played Superman.

It's a taser.

It's a laser pistol, Platuan.

New WIP model, Gandalf the Green

In...Batman?

If you find another active Knight Models thread, you can move the post there.

Also, a wizard is never late, even when he arrives today in Gotham City

Don't worry... I got it and chuckled!

Feel free to start another Knight Moddls thread so that this one can stay on topic.

Off topic posts might disappear in here.

and coming in September.......

Yeah, that's all kinds of awesome!

If only there was a reliable and timely USA source for them!

I think the Miniature Market does OK in terms of stock...

...but I know they've already pissed off my favorite supplier, Battleroad Games - to the point where he's dropped them!

Curious though if that is for the actual game...He seems more then 35mm, plus there isn't rules for vehicles yet. Would be disappointed if that was all. So many hints at Two Faces crew...

While US dis center would be nice, ordering directly is the fastest way Alph. Takes around 7-13 days but that's tons faster if you order it from them the second they release it to waiting months for US to get lots of stock...

well, i know what i'll be buying myself for Christmas...
that bike is awesome...

cheers
