They come with the models, and I don't know the size.

They all come with the minis and are bigger than a standard malifaux card, then fold out with info covering the middle.

Rule are on their website also http://www.knightmodels.com/nueva/index.php/shop/show/viewcategory just scroll down a bit.

As for posting stat cards, I dont see why not. The models are expensive ( but worth it) and I think it benifits people to see what the character can do before they make a blind buy. It has also been said on the Spanish Blog http://mistycball.blogspot.com.es from Gustavo Adolfo Cuadrado Egea ( a person who helped build the minis game) that they will be having forums soon with the stats available on them.

I would encourage others who have bought guys I havent posted the cards for yet to do so!

fair enough.. i have been speaking with Gustavo about some of the rules translations and he seems like a top guy.

i have just seen a lot of people asking for the stats to be printed so they can use heroclix instead of giving any money to the company.. that kinda thing grinds my gears.

That is pretty crappy. Though they could sell a book of stats just like how malifaux does. Id pay to have a nice book for each of the guys so far. There are some problems with the translations yea.

Like ofr band equipment for Joker. What is Mislead and Bengal supposed to be...cant seem to find that online anywhere. If you have any translations you and him have done, could you please post them?

People are always going to do that and I understand your angst about it believe me but in the end those are the people who aren't going to do much with the game anyways. Are the prices for some of these minis rather high....mmmm...yes and no. If you buy from Coolmini I believe the singles come in at $25 a model, I choose to go lower as well I just did. Also for the several people who have bought memberships with me they will tell you how fast that adds up and the money it saves you so there are ways to curb the overall cost.

Be mindfull as well that a lot of people will collect every single mini just to have the full set but in the game won't use all that many models so for somone who wants to start out but not drop $500 or more then they can get by with spending under $100. I believe on average my 40k armies run between $500-$700 retail so to spend $75-$100 and get free rules to me is a steal of a deal. Not to mention the models are larger and damn near flawless. I'm going to continue to grow into Knights Models and hopefully your FLGS will too as after Adepticon we are going to start our distribution Dept for my business.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!

yeah i can help..

bengal is 'flare' (odd i know)
mislead is 'distract'
the weapon profile 'tough' is actually 'heavy'
harleys'disarray' is actually 'disorder'
ringmasters '360 attack: chain' is actually 'roundhouse'
jokers one shot gun crit is 'low' this means if you crit then the model is instantly removed as a casualty (!!)

if you need anymore let me know.

I ship Priority and usually the following business day. @Alph: From my understanding any of the characters they release can be used in the game.

I think the only thing that is keeping me from getting into this is knowing I could never deliver the paint job these models would deserve.

I feel the same way sometimes but if you let that stop you then you will never allow yourself to grow as a painter. I always tell people just to have fun with it and try to learn something new on every model you paint.

That's a good point. I'm getting reasonably good at capes and such, perhaps I should get one just as a challenge.

I've won a bunch of professional awards but some minis give me trouble. Infinity seems to be my bane for some reason and don't even get me started on gw dark elder as I've tried my hand at those many times. These models are easy to paint actually lots of smooth surfaces.

Thanks boy wonder for those, it will really help. Guess I will make use of the note section on the back of the cards to add them.

I can also vouch that empchild has excellent shipping. Sent Sat, and I got it Monday. I placed another order today for Nolan Bane, Nolan Batman, Jokers 2 goons, and Talia.

Plan to order! You better get as many as you can in stock! haha

My friend got theese today. Being able to combi with the Nolan Batman can make him scarry in combat. 12 attack dice at most...6 average hits..2 miss in damage so 8 stun markers to a guy.Then again his armor is weaker so leaves him to open.

4 more of got from Empchild. Few notes...The Trait Psycho doesent really make sence. It is also like Insensiable where they get all actions even if wounded?

Also the shotgun is really odd. It doesent use the spray template. It can shoot up to 40cm away but just on one person. Atleast this clown pack you can benifit from buying multipuls.

I have to say the rules are a bit of a slog to get through - hopefully we'll see a proper rulebook at some point in the future as the translation is pretty poor in the PDF. "Knigth" models indeed.

I want to see the ninjas comming out. Bane Talia and Ninjas could be cool. Depend on how the Ninjas are packaged. As we can look at the Gotham Police, really bad pack. Buy it once and great, but if you want more gun cops, your SOL or spending 25$ for 1 cop.

having played a few games i think that the rules are really easy to grasp and the translation isnt that bad.

the rule psycho is one of the translation issues.. seeing as currently nothing changes your willpower. i believe its meant to stop you losing action counters from anything.

Hey guys just a quick heads up on three new minis. I received my order sheet today and they are the same price as the others. If your a member pm me for pre-order instructions.

I have played 4 games of it so far. First three were basic. It was Batman and Guncop vs Harley and Killercroc. Sadly Batman got knocked out and eaten by the Croc.

In the latest game now that we have more minis, it was Joker, Harley, Chainclown, and Batclown VS Batman and Catwoman.
I gave everyone a clown painting ( Distract) except the joker. This seems like a free action, as it has no SC next to it. Pretty deadly ability. Batclown got next to catwoman, distracted her, making her DEF a 4 and beat the crap outta her. Getting to reroll your hits is sick with this guy. Being obsessive, he needed 3s just to wound. After she hit the floor she never got back up.

Batman threw some batarangs but being only stun, and lucky, my guys recovered quickly. He did go all out on Harley and knocked her out. She got back up but eventually went right back down. The Joker, Chain/Batclown then we all out on Batman, he got pretty beat up but batclawed himself to safety just as the game ended. The clown rushed objectives for points and Joker won just by a single point.

Some notes or questions...

Ganging up on someone and having distract seems almost too good. It makes since, but it makes batman look like a wuss. Distract and 2 on 1 puts his DEF at a 3. Crazy Batclown then can get rerolls to hit needing 3s and 3s to wound batman.

We were also wondering if you can keep attacking someone when they are knocked out? Doesn't say you can't but doesn't say you can.

The part I really do like it how brutal it can be. More so how much it can be for playing joker. You remove 1 of their dice, so that can be a guaranteed extra turn for you to start and beat down people. Close combat rounds are not very unique for the clowns, but that fits them. If you're in base and know you get to go first, best to load all dice into AC.


Our next game will be 300 points so I will write that up then. More money options and bigger battle!

Only Henchmen can have equipment, so the Joker & Harley can't choose clown paint.

You still don't really benefit from buying multiples of this pack as the Henchmen trait isn't starred * which means these guys are still unique. You can only field them once in your gang.

Sounds like 'distract' might need some FAQ/Errata action!
