As a new collector of this game (just the miniatures at the moment, I haven't yet played the game) I have to say that the quality of sculpting for this range has absolutely blown me away.

I'm just painting up a couple of the Joker's clown mobsters, and about to start on the Heath Ledger Joker. Not only have they got the sculpt of his face right, they've got his posture from his acting in the film absolutely dead-on.

Absolutely incredible, I don't quite know how this range has managed to escape my notice for this long!

Well, I'll do a nice/crappy thing here then:

Go check out their 28mm Star Wars models that they used to do. They're equally incredible.

Then cry into your dice bag with me, knowing they're nearly impossible to get.

I don't want to even know about those thanks!

I wonder why they stopped making them, did they lose the license?

If I recall correctly - and I may not do - they had the license after WotC let it go, and then lost it (or gave it up due to the cost) which allowed FFG to get it.

Edit: On the matter of the BMG does anyone know if there are some new leaders coming out? I had a passing interest in doing the Birds of Prey but it feels like - as the heroes - you can have any leader for your crew as long as he comes in black. Or sometimes very, very dark grey.

There seems to be at least one new leader per month. This month has Jokers Daughter sidekick and Shiva sidekick.

If you are looking specifically for good guy leaders, we don't know. Last month did have Commissioner Leob and a SWAT sidekick too.

The last of this month's releases: Bane's Thugs (not mercs...)

Titan/bodyguard:


Sniper!

Now this is the wrong thread, but this mini deserves to play a role in the Batman game...

I give you 'Leonard'

perfect to face off against Daredevil as a totally not-Kingpin

As cool as the "not Kingpin" is, the scale is a lot smaller then KM. He'd look tiny next to DD

This just might be the ticket to get my gf into miniature gaming lol.

UK players might want to know all the Knight models stuff is 25% off at Wayland Games

(yes I know there are mixed opinions on them)

http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/2214-batman-miniatures-game

a lot of it is 'available to order' so will probably take a while to arrive, but if you don't need the stuff fast....

By "a while" expect the region of weeks to months. Wayland took nearly 2 weeks from me ordering things that were in stock.

Anybody know of a good place to buy from in the US?

I'd like a Mad Hatter and a gang of rabbit-headed mooks. I rabbit-batman would be nice but I guess there's little chance of that. Also still waiting for my Hugo Strange, waiting too long for one!!

WotC's licence was for a collectible miniatures game. KM had a separate licence at the same time, just for miniatures with no game.

I doubt KM 'lost' the licence. In most cases when companies don't renew Star Wars licences, it's because the high cost of the licence results in the range not being profitable. (WotC was the exception there... they chose not to renew so they could refocus on their 'core' of D&D and MtG, despite SWM at that time being a better seller for them...)

Looks like KM are teasing next months release as Court of Owls Excitement!!!

Finally got my penguin crew assembled and ready to go. I've got some terrain in the works, time to get some games in at the FLGS.

A brand new online store specializing in Batman minis just opened up here: http://store.endalyon.com. They only do North America though.

Announcement details here: http://critskillpeople.blogspot.com/2015/05/announcement-store.html

Yikes on those prices.

Those are full retail prices. I'm hoping, over time, that he can get those prices down. He does have the most current models in North America, but that only really matters if you need to most current.

Miniature Market, Warstore, a couple others, have better prices, but limited stock, often not able to get new models for 3 or more months. Best price/newest models are available in UK stores (Troll Trader, Outpost, etc) but you pay for international shipping and often have a long wait.

That was my thought.

Haha, I thought you meant Yikes those prices in a good way, you did not.

Interesting!

Arkham knight is out in a matter of weeks. Will we get tie in models like the Arkham Knight or yet another batman with even more crazy expensive gadgets? Perhaps a more interesting scarecrow?

Arkham Knight will surely bring more models and more attention to the game.

In the meantime, how about one of the biggest names in Batman villains:

Very nice !

New rumor lists the following for this month's releases:

Court of Owls (4 member starter set)
Gotham Butcher (court of owls talon on Titan)
Hush
Firefly (flight in BMG?)
Owl markers
Safe boxes
(No Marvel)

Wait, Hush is one of the biggest villains in batman? Did Joker, Bane, Two Face, Riddler and Penguin suddenly all close up shop?

Ignoring Catwoman, Ras Al Ghul and other more in the middle villains who occasionally do good things.

Seriously. Hush. Big. Right...

To be fair, he certainly has had one of the most significant stories in the Bat universe in the past couple of decades. I put him on par with Bane/Black Mask for having a single good story, only Hush's story was probably the best written of the bunch. And the point being that he was not yet in BMG and was probably the most anticipated in the recent months. I mean, he's no Firefly or Joker's Daughter...

Regardless, real news that might interest some here. MiniatureMarket has a fair amount of BMG on clearance for some REAL nice prices.

Aaannnnnd here's the Gotham Butcher.



(Hey Alph, how about making me the owner of this thread so I can keep the title updated?)

For those who want some cheap terrain, we've got our Markham City line going up this month.





www.angrymojogames.com

"Markham City", love it

Loving the clearance deals. Now only if I could afford them...
Also I have been waiting for Hush even though I dont know much about him, and have not read his story yet. What is it called?

Also the new game I think has scarecrow as the main villain (and has some added DLCs or something with him in it) so I imagine in the next month or two would be a perfect time to release the scarecrow crew as it would co-inside with him being the main villain of the new game (Also I am a big scarecrow fanatic and really want to see his crew).
