Good stuff, the game sounds like a good one. I find Black Canary very easy to underestimate, even when I'm the one using her. Especially against low WP Henchmen, if she can hit two or three with the cry they're just such easy pickings for a harder hitter (BC+Batwoman or Nightwing with their then-unblockable 2 Damage attacks is lethal!).

Sounds like a fun game even with the whiff on deathstroke. How do you feel he is as a heavy hitter normally?

She is a beast, and I should know better - I built the list! Ah, Batwoman. Now she is fantastic, so much better than a cheap Batman, and amazing for GCPD.

He is, arguably, the most potent close combat fighter in the game. His other attack - up to 5 dice of blood damage with rerolls is even scarier. However, the potential to do 6 stun would've won me the game there and then *shrug* and hey, it was every kind of fun plus he has a once per game heal. Basically he's terrifying, but he is one of the most expensive characters in the game - it's very well balanced (for reference, Arrow is cheaper despite having an unlimited ranged weapon) - up there with Swamp Thing and the most tooled-up version of Batman.

So made a bit of progress. I want to get my remaining guys based, built and primed, if only because I want to start brewing in the garage so need everything sprayed and ready to go. So...



Remaining blackgate inmates, court of owls, red hood, arkham inmates and penguin thugs. Some GS required, some litter needed for the owls' bases, and pinning of mannnnnnnnny arms oh, and a toy motorbike cleaned up and a pink fridge started
And stuck some green on bus stops and park bench:

Been up to this and that . Final week of the holidays

I had a great game of xwing with the boys, playing through Dash Rendar's scenario, Outrider vs Tie F/O & The Inquisitor. Very pleased with how the game works in a non-waac, kill everything way.

Getting everything primed, pleased that I'm nearly at the point I wanted to be at the end of the summer. Only my last 3 court talons aren't primed - decided to add some brass etch straps and knives as they're rather plain.


Started my radioactive containers. Testing using just micron pen for the black -


And fun with fridges


Oh dear, someone's had a bit too much fun...





Fast food set coming soon, hurrah! Remember to get into the contest gang.
Cheers,
Graven

That fridge is awesomely gory.........chilling even great stuff graven

Nice touches! smaller terrain pieces that add character to a city scape!

Thanks man always humbled when the dakka 'eavy mob swing by

shasolenzabi wrote:Nice touches! smaller terrain pieces that add character to a city scape!

Cheers, really appreciated. I absolutely agree, and it adds a lot to the game, especially as KM continue to add in more firearms (which are utterly deadly) because of the chance of cover saves (Ping! rolls, as they are known - and I say that as a someone who tends to play gun-heavy villain gangs (Penguin/Deathstroke) or SWAT-heavy cops.

Speaking of which, got my bus shelters done, along with a bench:

Lovely sets those shelters. They come with good posters and Lost Cat/Harvey Dent signs added to make it match other stuff too The bench has a little love note on it (along with all that blood)...

And progress on this:

Given that it's mostly going to be a static scenery piece (though it is the same scale and loadout as the in-game version ) not sure how much more time I want to spend on this. Sitting on my bench are 3 hobos (wait, that sounds wrong), two trash cans, 2 crates, rad container, HGV, Tattoo parlour and the giant boat. So plenty to be going on with Crucially, with everything primed, I can also start brewing in the garage I'll let you know how that gets on too
Cheers for swinging by,
graven

Where does he get that wonderful Batmobile?

Bus shelters are looking great!

yeah the Batmobile is a cool find!

£13 from your local toy retailer, or half price at Sainsbury's it's a BvS pullback toy. And thanks, they were fun to do!

Solar_lion wrote:yeah the Batmobile is a cool find!

I know ! Sadly the batwing in the same range is not as good scale wise

Finally worked out what to do with my HGV:

Gambi are the DCU's premier laundry and tailoring service for super villains

Nice work on the various yellow, green, pink and white things.

Good job on the freehand.

Love the Fridge and the green on the bus shelters (which brand and colour is it?)

Really liked seeing pics of your table lay outs again too.

Cheers! I use Vallejo Sick Green as it's very opaque and goes over just about anything

So the truck is done, I think:



...and with other oddments I have done:


Terrain progresses

Nice! Good looking crates and garbage cans for the heroes/villains to use for cover.

Truck is looking like rust is coming thru the paint job as would happen to a port/harbor city with sea water about!

Great job on the weathering on the truck, really liking the truck.

Scatter cover looks ideal. Need some bin bags!

that's what I was going for

Thanks matey. I've made some experimental ones, I was thinking of making a couple of piles rather than just individual ones?

Got all 3 kids tonight, wife finally getting a well deserved girly night. And now, they're all asleep - Assault on Arkham, methinks!

Good call! Have you seen Suicide Squad yet?

Truck is looking good, suitably grubby for Gotham. Just noticed the HQ/MrJ on the bench, neat!

Wonderful work graven. You're really pushing yourself now and it's showing in your work.

I really enjoy seeing the terrain, but I REALLY enjoy thast you're playing a different miniatures game, and getting games in. Rock on, Graven!

That's kind of you indeed. Scenery is my niche, clearly

Thanks matey. Indoctrinating my children helps, i'm planning ahead

Liked Assault on Arkham a lot. I think it's pretty tenuous making it a 15 - if it were live action it'd be a 12A, I suspect. Violence and gore, no cartoon bewbs on showing despite a couple of saucy bits. Stylistically has anime elements that work, mostly. Certainly worth a watch.

Hmmm, Assault on Arkham? is that on Netflix? or a DVD? Now I am curious!

But yeah, terrain is always nice to look at in your threads! You, Dave and Red Harvest are the scenery kings here.

DVD, it's about the only Batman animated that's not on Amazon Prime. But I got it for a £1 so I'm not complaining. It has a bit of an early 90s vibe to it (not a BTAS vibe, almost more X-Men oddly) but it works for all that. Thanks for your very kind words but there's some extraordinary folk here - check out the League of Extraordinary Riveters.

But in the meantime...

Rough times on the mean streets of Gotham.

Heh, I wanted to say they look like little multi coloured worms, pretty cool looking man

Good job on the rusty truck. The windows have a nice comic-book look to them.

Those sleeping dudes look like they need a nice cardboard box to lie on.

Thanks buddy. Lovely bits and pieces TT make.

Thanks, I was worried it wouldn't work. And I spend a lot of time on motorways behind rusty trucks. Boxes? Good idea. Hmm. I have some left over matte board actually I could use. Hmm.

Trying to decide how to do my Hawkgirl, which I've been putting off.

Lovely model, however I wonder whether to (a) do her in a CW colour scheme (bronzes) and (b) hovering either perched on a bit of roof scenic or flight stand. Thoughts?

Started building my Multiverse Fast Food bar :


The roof is not on permanently on, just to ensure the walls are trim and true. However the support struts are extremely well designed, attaching in front of as well as in peg slots. We'll see how it pans out
Later,
Graven

With HG, I'd go the Legends colours, since you already have the TV-based Arrow crew. Speaking of which, any plans to pick up the CW version Flash?

And you only need look in the top of your broken bell tower for inspiration and/or a pattern for cardboard boxes.

You make that sound like they are mutually exclusive...

Ah, seems the new meme of heroines, yoga pants with sport bra, exposed midriff to show of the muscle belly.
