EDIT: Height-wise, it's pretty much a perfect match, I just put J and Harley up next to Sonnia and Samuel Hopkins and there was only a couple of mm difference in it that's accounted for by pose. Both Malifaux and Batman minis tend to vary a fair bit in build and bulk, though, so if there were to be an issue that's where it would be (Joker and Harley are both skinny as hell, probably about the same bulk or lack thereof as someone like Lady Justice, thinner than the two I checked them against). Base sizes are the same. Does that help at all?

Hmm, I have a sudden urge to repaint Lady Justice as Katana now...

Yep, that helps immensely! Thank you!

I was saddened by the fact that the Dark Carnival set was only available for a limited time, and the price they were asking for it. So I thought about making my own set using Eden miniatures (the "Jokers" gang, of course) as a bunch of psychotic Circus performers.

Then was wondering who I could use as Colette and Cassandra. Went browsing for miniatures and the Killing Joke Joker and Animated Series Harley Quinn showed up and well, it seemed like fait accompli

Dia de los Reyes gift from Knight Models; alternate cards for Batman and one of Ivy's plants:

Cool, how did you get those alternate cards?

Alternate cards are, so far, only available as prizes at official tournaments. That's a pretty restrictive club and fans have been asking for a loosening of that rule for some time now.

The biggest issue is that the exclusive alternate cards are considered fully legal for tournament play, but KM refuse to share them for the most part; I'm not a tourey guy myself, but I'd be quite annoyed if I showed up at a cometitive event, my opponent puts down, say, Talia (so I'm expecting a melee model) and then reveals it's the event exclusive version with a crossbow on the stat card (I've not seen the card, but I've seen it mentioned).

Same goes for the Batmobile card that is both legal and kept secret thus far; if they're allowing this stuff in competitive events then they ought to make them available to see.

That said, this might be setting a good precedent if those ones above are official releases; alternate cards without models would be a cool way to grow the range even when stuff isn't being released in mini form.

Maybe the folks who actually have batman tournaments will start posting hi-res pics so we can print/play those cards for casual play. I have no idea how many alternate cards have been made (not good for the completionist in me).

Thanks to Drazz for posting those last two cards, anyway you can get a more close-up pic or (even better) a scan of the cards?

There are 4 other cards that were issued last year. I possess 1 myself, but have pictures that I took of all 4 from a tourney this year.

I can't do anything about the photos that I posted yesterday; they are not my pics.

If you want the other four, I can try to post those later.

That would be great! Thanks much

OK, I was getting the old cards ready to share and a new one showed up today. So, fist the new one (definitely not an homage to a character from a different IP):



Then the old:

I don't know what's scarier there. I'll settle for Talia's affiliate! It really, really irks me that these don't even show up in hero builder. :/

Those jerks!

They used my joke about it being Sergeant Winslow from "Family Matters".

I'm more a fan of BA.

He clearly doesn't like fools...

Damn, that alternate Ninja profile is awesome! Might have to give him a run at some point, the Endurance 6, Veteran and 5 Attack/4+ Strength is brutal!

I really wish they would put these up on the builder, and what would be really good is some for the non-duplicable models in the Henchman blisters; I can use Gotham Policeman 3 times, but I'd end up with 3 Agent Rons, an alternate card for that model would really make the prospect more appealing to a lot of players, I think.

Wayland have a deal of the day on the Hugo Strange/Arkham Loonies set for the next 10 hours:

Are they the deal of the day because they're a bit rubbish, by any chance?

Hey Everyone

I'm interested in the Spiderman miniatures game and have never played the Batman game. I was thinking of picking up a couple of the Marvel 35mm miniatures like Doc Oc but then thought maybe they took them down to repackage them into a whole crew so I would then end up buying him twice if I later want the crew. For you folks already playing the batman game does that sound like how the releases work or likely to happen? Cheers

I believe the 'Spiderman miniatures game' models are only going to be available directly through the Knight Models website.

Any of the marvel minis you buy from anywhere else won't have the marvel cards packaged with them.

That's not to say you can't download them and print them off for home/club games of course.

Hugo is good. But, you kind of want to build specifically with him in mind and bring a crew that features models with mental disorders.

Of the inmates, Milo is the best. Big heavy hitter.

Hugo plays well with Two Face in particular.

There are distributors that still have many of the models for sale. I just don't want to buy them if they are going to show up in six months as part of a crew that I will want to get anyway. That's what I was fishing for people's thoughts on.

I don't think the early Marvel releases will be replaced into crew sets. First, most of Knight Models SPUs are single models. Second, the two released crew sets feature new models; there was already a Spider-Man and a Green Goblin, but new versions were used to avoid the repack.

I know I have picked up almost all the Marvel singles released before the game.

That makes sense when you look at the new packs they all have new miniatures. The other thing I just noticed is that the SM game isn't getting its own book from the looks of it. I read on the FB page they are just providing a pdf to go along with the BM book. Now the batman book does look like a top notch book from what I can see but It would have been great to get something specific to the SM game. Perhaps that will come later.

What's the best place to do this for USA based customers?

Also, any rumors on the KM forums/groups about what other miniatures will be featured.

Like, hopefully Mysterio?

So far, all we know faction-wise is Spiderman, Goblin Cult, SHIELD and Hydra. There's no real word yet on how the game is going to expand, whether they're going to push it right up to the likes of Thor and Thanos or keep it street level, or even how often we'll be seeing new releases.

At this point, it seems to be just a plug-in for the Batman game, though presumably it'll get its own rulebook at some point...

Best US sites are the norm--MIniatureMarket and Warstore. Ebay has some deals on occasion, and troll the UK sites for god deal while watching the shipping charges.

Literally no one outside KM knows anything about the progression of the Marvel line and the new game. There was really no indication that a game of that type was coming at all. So, beyond the tabs set up in the KM store, there's not much more than speculation.

There are still rumors of a higher-powered game for the future. No known date or progress.

There is also rumored to be an expansion set of rules for Batman, including the rules for vehicles (like the Batmobile released recently).

Nice!

Something seems very dodgy about those Owls paintjobs, rare for KM, I'd want to see the unpainted minis before I got those (though more for the Court is of course awesome). Cyborg is a must-buy, really great representation of the character. Would've preferred the Arrow/Legends of Tomorrow Hawkgirl with the armour, but that one ain't bad.

Literally no idea who Catman is...

So, KM looks like its not afraid of adding the Metas to the mix now. Cyborg, Hawkgirl, Black Manta...

I like the Court models. I think what you're seeing is that there's a dullness to them; but I think that's appropriate for the characters. To me, they look more fun to paint than the original crew. Although the original crew had dynamic models, they I found them difficult to find character when painting.

Catman is the leader of the Secret Six. Originally a joke villain of Batman (overweight and ineffective), he was "reborn" into a fairly capable field agent.

Still waiting for Wildcat and Manbat, but good releases here.
