I'm guessing an (insanely) expensive box game, with no blisters/add ons

Would help explain how the licensing worked out: Clix have a licence for tabletop gaing, they have one for a board game (with minis)

I guess Croc will come with 'Whack'a'Mole' mini-game rules?

'Whack-a-BAT' minigame, surely?

Well, this will be picked up day of release for certain.

Really pleased as well, I've been a big fan of Knights models for a while, but couldn't justify picking them up just for painting.

I'll need two Killer Crocs. One for the Batman game and one for my HORDES Minions.

Is there any word on release date yet?

More likely the Clix licence would be for pre-painted collectible minis, whereas this one would be for unpainted metal gaming minis.

Yes, they can be that specific. At one point there, GW, Mithril, Neca and whoever the guys were who did the LOTR Clix (who GW bought out) all had slightly different and very specific licenses for different types of LOTR minis.

Any idea on cost for these?

Batman is currently out. Unless they change materials, this is what it will cost:

So about $20.00CDN/ US dollars. That's pretty decent for 35mm sclae figure. Some assumptions then. The named characters will follow around the same price, while the henchmen will come in a pack of three to five for the same price.

Just guess work though.

Just noticed... that's the old DC logo.

They even have the armoured clowns in the hats! Wonderful.

Can't wait to see The Penguin's goons.

Wow, these are some nice looking minis

These are some nice looking minis. Best idea would have been for it to be a board game with expansions honestly. I would've paid good coin to get some nice pieces that represented Arkham itself

And if they're smart, you still may!

I want to see this released so badly, I will grab myself Mr.Freeze and a mob for him too...

If they do BTAS expansion then im totally sold on this...

BTAS?

The Animated Series?

I don't think that's the direction they're going in, but you never know!

Thinking on this, this game can really rock and roll. a starter set for each bad guy with thier own personal minions, you got the other Gotham heros and sidekicks, the other villians, thier minions, too. The GPD, the Question, The Demon, The Hitman, etc.etc.etc.

You could take it to another level with other groups, superheros, and thats not even talking about scenery.

I still play DC Online on occasion, and let me tell you, Gotham is pretty darned busy. Even with Falcone, and the rest of them, you can stay busy painting these guys for quite a long time.


I think they could even take it to another level if they went into the rest of the JLA. Wonder Woman..... mmmm.... Green Lantern... Oh heck yeah. The Flash (s) , we got quite a few more ways to go with that, too.

The Legion of Doom, The Secret Six, The Sirens, etc.etc.etc.....

I'm in.

I'll take a Green Arrow done up Arkham City style. That could be a really awesome look.

When's this coming out again? As a big Batman/Gotham fan I'm gonna need everything, so I gotta start budgeting.

Very very cool. Much better than the test models GW had for their proposal.

Very interesting. I'm suprised to see this happen while Heroclix are still around. The model quality is vastly better at least.

Licensing, especially for a vast sprawling franchise like Batman can be frighteningly specific. I remember reading once that some marketer noticed they had given a license to one company to make Batman figures larger than 2", and a license to another for Batman figures smaller than 2"...

So they went and issued a 3rd company a license for figures that were exactly 2" tall.

So I would guess the license for Hero Clix is something like "28mm scale pre painted collectable figures for use in games with maps"

While Knight Models has "28mm scale unpainted figures for use in miniature war games on tabletops"

Na na na na nan Batmarine! Batmarine! Batmarine! Baaaaatmaaarine!

It's exorbitant. But people will pay it so.....

Assuming we're talking pre-New 52 Oliver Queen, Kan has taste

He's actually referring to the fact I'm really digging the show "Arrow".

Any chances of Adam West styled minis as another future expansion?

I think Arkham City has enough bad guys in it without bringing in a bunch of other ones. Seriously, the game is filled to the gills with the Rogue's Gallery.

Representing the good guys will be the tougher thing. You've got the GCPD special forces, you've got Batman (obviously), then there's Robin (Drake) and Nightwing (Grayson). Barbara Gordon is Oracle in this version of the universe, and I guess Catwoman could be an ally (given her role in the game). What else though?

Not sure how it'd work, especially when not all of the bad guys are affiliated with any groups, or have any goons (Victor Fries doesn't, Zsasz doesn't).
