Old school (Golden Age?) Catman was a wacky villain for Batman. Pretty much was evil Batman who liked Cats.
Then in the late 90s he became quick punchline for Catwoman and Green Arrow in their respsective series as a pathetic character.
2000s he saw a comeback thanks to Simone Gail's "Secret Six" in which 6 villains team up and generally be awesome (but not "good")
His previous incarnations were addressed and was part of his newly cxreated backstory where after hitting rockbottom he actually went to live with the big cats in Africa.
Didn't go too well to start with but it toughened him up and only returned to the human world after poachers killed his pride.
Now it is Batman without money or a strict moral code. Oh and has no compunctions of messing people up with his knives.
I think my 'problem' such as it is with the owls is that the first 4 are packed with detail and I find them really characterful, these just look a bit samey and plain, which is emphasised by the Animation-style paintjobs. I'm sure they're fine models, I just prefer the first set.
As far as models of metas go (rather than rules), we're just two models shot of having The Seven (original Justice League members). Bats, Supes, Wonder Woman, Flash, Hawkgirl, add Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter for the classic JL Animated Series, swap Cyborg for Hawkgirl and add Aquaman and GL for the New52 version. Pretty awesome... I really hope the Supers game drops soon, I'd like to think it'll be March/April to tie in with Dawn of Justice (and give us a new armoured Batman while they're at it).
Automatically Appended Next Post: Cheers for the Catman explanation, I might have to look into him a little more... The mini has a quite nice cape...
Automatically Appended Next Post: Just noticed Hawkgirl has Teamwork with Hawkman, so I guess we can expect him soon too.

Just saw this on facebook. So how does this go with the new Spiderman game?

Is it... could it be... is this the supers game? With Avengers, X-men and the Guardians as the starters, and the promise of a new game system, I think it just might be! COMMENCE HYPE!
So, guesses on the starters? I'm thinking:
Avengers: Cap, Thor, Stark and Widow, all existing minis
X-men: Wolverine, Cyclops and Collossus from the existing range, someone new?
Guardians: We only have Rocket so far, so with any luck, brand new minis for Starlord, Drax and Gamora (I think Groot would be too big, he'll probably be a large blister like Croc and Grundy)
If there are 4 characters in a starter, I expect them to be in the £40 range, but I can live with that, so long as there's some kind of saving over buying them all individually.
I'm assuming that SMG will remain as an add-on for BMG, some releases will get cards for both perhaps?
That Ironman... Wow. Nifty paint job, solid pose even if it does have a tactical rock.
Actually it's a really Iconic Thor too, and colossus looks good. Wolverine looks right but I'm not especially interested. Honestly would be torn between that and the batman game. Battle systems terrain is probably gonna be a constant nagging influence to pick up some models from either range.. sigh.

Wales: Where the Men are Men and the sheep are Scared.
I will probably be all over this once they have a few forces available. Shame they seem to be separating daredevil punisher and Spidy from this though.
I'd not be surprised if they pop up at some point. Spidey has been integral to many Avengers lineups, after all. I think that in this, and the DC version if and when they get to it (Dawn of Justice tie-in would be nice, KM!), heroes from the 'street level' game will go up into the supers game, just not all the supers will do the reverse and appear in S/BMG.
Pretty sure they will be. Spiderman and Batman are built on the same mechanics and are 100% compatible, I've already seen a Spidey vs Joker batrep on the BMG forums. I'll be somewhat surprised if they don't do the same with the supers version.
Its fairly likely the Marvel and DC supers will have the same base mechanics. As pointed out, Batman and Spider-Man games already do (and have been officially listed as compatible from Knight Models).
We also get the fourth and last alternate tournament card today:
Wait.. was there a broader DC game that I somehow missed an announcement for?
This was already guessed at by at least a few of us. I'm happy this is how it's working out and if I were to guess, I'd say we'll likely see some of the staples plus tie ins with media.
Heroes We'll almost definitely see that aren't already in the picture:
Cyclops, Agent Venom, Cable, Colossus, Cap, Falcon-Cap, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, Vision, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Gambit, Archangel, Hulkbuster, White Queen, Mr Fantastic, Beast, Namor, Black Bolt, Invis Woman, Thing, Human Torch, Black Panther
Villains:
Dr Doom, Kang (might be tricky), MODOK, Baron Mordo, Baron Zemo, Baron Von Strucker (I doubt all the barons but who knows), Magneto (he could be hero or villain at this point), Apocalypse, Thanos, Terrax, Mandarin, Annihilus, Grim Reaper, Crossbones, Red Skull, Living Laser, Loki, Enchantress, Executioner, Abomination, Absorbing Man, Leader
Wow.. I am going to cut it short there.. I could list out a lot more but at their speed this list alone could take a while to fill out.
These aren't necessarily the ones I think should be done first or feel like are guaranteed to be in the game. More, they are iconic or somehow relevant to major stories or upcoming films, shows etc.
My personal picks would be 90s x-men, classic avengers, fantastic four, and their iconic enemies.
So...any chance we'll get a Sinister Six (Original Lineup) box for the Spidey game?
As for insider info, yeah, sadly we rarely hear directly from the KM types. And there's a lot that we don't hear about until its happening. Take the Spider-Man game; no prior knowledge on that one. Though, we knew about the Batmobile for a little while ahead of time.

I had thought about a similar lineup but more the Uncanny X-Men relaunch from a couple years ago. I think that lineup was Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magick, Magneto, and some new characters (if I remember).
Major event themed sets would be cool but man Marvel has no shortage of those..
EDIT: Oh.. I forgot Deadpool.. I would be thoroughly surprised if he managed to not be in the lineup.

I really hope we are getting models for the new DC cinematic universe ... especially Suicide Squad *_* <3
I thought there was but without access I was not sure. It would be silly for him to not have rules then.. what with the movie and everything (it's soooo close too)
Night Lords (40k): 3500pts
Klan Zaw Klan: 4000pts
