That would be cool. But if we're doing LoS versions of our heroes, I want Al-Sahim first!

And a League version of Damien.

League Batman is approachable from a few angles. Demon's Head, Batman Begins, Arkham Origins. They could do Batman as freelance non-Batman too if they wanted to work the angle presented in Arkham Knight. (don't want to spoil it but it involves the uninvited guest-star)

Bat-builder is back up!

Holy smeg, that's made my day! It appears last month's releases aren't there, but oh well, this is still a hell of a lot better than nothing!

I'll still continue with my 'codex' project, a) in case the builder vanishes again and b) because it's fun, but even then, I now have access to high resolution pics of all the cards!

That makes life easier. Arkham knight looks great.

For those who are interested, knight have announced they are recruiting folk to be demo team:

I'd be all over that if I had a local gaming group/store! The more people I can inspire/bully/coerce/bribe into BMG the better! Alas, neither my home nor uni address has anywhere close that I could really push the game.

Good luck to anyone who can get out there and get promoting this excellent game!

So instead I'll just be disappointed that the announcement wasn't that the Sons of Batman were being added as minis in the game. That would be awesome!

I do think they should've called this Batman incorporated... I'm tempted, even with baby due Feb

Probably worth going for. You're already doing a lot of promotion for the game online, so even if you could just run real life demos and stuff on a semi-regular basis then that would probably suffice. Worst case scenario, they simply reject your application, best case you get to spread the joy of BMG to your local gamers

And get free stuff...

Knight Models

Good morning, we are glad to introduce you our new brand of products: Knight Models Legends!
This brand is intended to be used to release new ranges of special models and awesome stuff for Batman Miniature Game and projects in the future.
To celebrate the presentation of this new brand we would like to share with you a sneak preview of one of our future releases. What do you think it is? and most important...what do you expect of this new brand? smile emoticon

Ooooh....Hopefully this won't be some kind of limited-edition, wallet-breakingly expensive stuff, but I could definitely get behind resin Batmobiles and special models...

Oh my sweet Lord!

Well, it seems to be this:


As the designs on the wheel and mounting seem to match.

Yeah, that's definitely the AK Batmobile. Hopefully it has a battle mode. Wait.. in game terms I guess that would be a bit OP..

I am wondering if/how they plan to incoperate the Batmobile into the game, especially this version with its near-impenetrable armour and massive guns... There are a couple of weapons with the Anti-tank rule that have been around for quite some time, so I guess it's been planned, but still, it'll be interesting to see how they go about this.

Still, if they are willing to introduce more powerful/expensive (in points) models in the game then that gives me some hope for the slow introduction of low/mid level supers. If you can have a bat-tank with more firepower than some small nations but I can't have John Constantine or The Atom, then something ain't right....

Out of interest, how much would you guys expect/be happy to pay for a resin Batmobile in 35mm scale? Personally, I don't think I'd want to go much above £25-ish, so I fully expect to be priced out on this one, but the Eaglemoss ones go for about £10-15 on ebay all the time and scale well enough, so if the rules are fun I might just grab one of them.

I think we're looking more at a $50+ price area.

So...£30 to £40 would be my guess.

Price would be hard to guess. This line, with the IP affixed, is already on the premium side.

I'm more concerned about the in-game points cost. Too low and we start to see the GM huge-scale model requirements; too high and there's not much need. I don't think the game scales well as the points get past 400 or so.

This could be entirely a high-end level of models. More collector than game pieces.

Or, this could be the introduction of the "supers" game. An armored Batcar is much more appropriate in a fight against the Thing and Wolverine than against Bane's mercs and Two-Face's goons.

It's all going to depend on what sort of scenarios your playing too,

in a 'kill all the things' game this is likely to overmatch banes mercs or two-faces goons,

but in a 'rescue the all the hostages', 'disarm the bombs' etc sort of game it's going to suffer from only being able to be in one place at a time

That is the inherent drawback of powerful single models in BMG, as the whole game is very mission-based. So that goes for models like Titan Bane and Bats, it would go double for a Batmobile.

I would be tempted to pick one up just for terrain.

You'd probably be better off with an Eaglemoss tumbler, as previsouly mentioned!

Yep:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eaglemoss-3-Batman-Begins-Movie-Batmobile-DC-Automobilia-1-43-Scale-New-/251801098092?hash=item3aa083d76c:g:HOgAAOSwF1dURQ4n

Probably less than half of what the KM one will cost, and scales well with the minis.

The Hot Wheels version of the AK Batmobile looks pretty good. I'd wager the prices will be similar. Funny enough, I've been shopping Batmobiles for 28-32mm over the last month or two.
A word of caution, if you are looking to the Hot Wheels lines for alternatives, the 1:50 ones are nowhere near 1:50 (the Batpod is) so go with the 1:43 Elite if you are going that route.

Only problem with Eaglemoss and the like is that they won't be accepted into official Tournaments once the model is released from KM

Maybe?

But if you're just looking for 'scenery' or non-strict gaming environment stuff, it is really hard to beat the Eaglemoss stuff!

True I have a few of the Eaglemoss releases myself for terrain purposes and a few homebrewed objectives for fun.

Once this puppy comes out though I plan on getting it for sure. Kinda relieved I haven't been able to pick up the Eaglemoss one yet (Plus the gun is deployed on the AK Bamobile while it's in car mode on the Eaglemoss version. Nitpicky, I know lol)

I plan on eventually getting the Hot Wheels and Eaglemoss AK Batmobile so I can have one for pursuit mode and one for battle mode. Gotta wait for that budget to fill back up though... eesh. At the moment I have the 1:43 Diecast ERTL Batmobile from the Tim Burton Batman (the first one).

Does anyone know a good place to buy the rulebook (preferably US)? I have the free one from the site but would prefer being able to put sticky notes and bookmarks and stuff.

MLaw: I'm partial to miniature Market. They have it in stock right not for $50.

Also pretty sure the PDF has been overruled by the current rulebook in several points.
