Hi everyone,

The Batman game from Knight Models has been picking up a lot locally, and the lure of painting comic characters got to me. I've put aside painting Infinity for a while (see my thread here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/541127.page ) to get a small Batman and Poison Ivy crew going.

First up is Batgirl:

Next is Damian Wayne:

Poison Ivy:

The final piece is actually one I did a couple years ago, a small Harley Quinn mini-diorama. This wasn't a game piece, just a fun project:

I also have a group of plants for Ivy, but no pics of them yet. Catwoman is on the painting table right now and I hope to have her done in a week or so.

Hope you like the models!

My wife and I are just getting into this game. Brilliant sculpts on everything we've purchased so far.

These models are just exquisitely painted. Really inspiring stuff. If ours look 1/8 this good I'll be thrilled.

Look forward to more.

Thanks!

These models take some extra care when painting as some of the details are a bit shallow and you can lose them if you are not paying attention. My favourite so far was Damian, he is a small and relatively simple model, but has a lot of character.

Awesome stuff, love these minis!

Thanks!

Green Arrow is next after I finish Catwoman. I will get a Batman eventually, but haven't decided between the Arkham City version and the Frank Miller one.

**Rippy**

Really well done!!!
I agree, can't wait to see Batman himself!

**greenskin lynn**

very nice work

Next up is Catwoman. I originally started this model about 6 months ago, gave up after a week or two of work, then picked it up again a couple weeks ago. This was tough model to paint. The detail on the cast is shallow (I think I basically free handed a bunch of the details on) and her suit is complex. . Anyhoo, here are the pics:

You did a great job on Cat Woman well done.

Very cool! It's always hard to get black to look that good!

**darefsky (Flight Medic Paints)**

Well done, you've done justice to those sculpts. I can't hardly wait to see what you do with Batman.

**GiraffeX**

She looks really hot!

The highlights on the black are very well done.

**Joyous_Oblivion**

To get a true sense of how awesome these are, you really need to see the picture with the penny beside Robin...made my head explode.

**Century1**

Well, it isn't Batman, but it is another billionaire vigilante, here's Green Arrow:

**insaniak**

Lovely work all through.

**HighMarshall**

Fantastic paint jobs, every single one of them!

**Pacific**

Absolutely incredible!

I'm just getting in to this game myself (well, collecting the miniatures at least). I've been stunned by how good the sculpts are , and wonder why I hadn't noticed the game before!

Beautiful brushwork on these, the graduations of colour and texture is just so well done - definitely inspirational!

**Century1**

Thanks a lot for the comments everyone!

**Paradigm**

Damn, that's good! An excellent blend of the bright comic version I don't much care for and the more sombre TV version! Brilliant stuff!

**necron2.0**

Well damn. These are awesome. Love the color scheme choice on the brick. Was this all done free-hand via brush or did you use an airbrush for any of it?

**Deadp00l**

Loving that Green Arrow! Any plans to paint up any of the Marvel characters Knight Models produce?

It's all regular brush work. I don't have much of a feel for using my airbrush on smaller scale models so I generally only use it on terrain.

I have a couple more models for the Batman game and Wonder Woman, as well as a 75mm Miss Marvel, but none of the 35mm Marvel. Not a lot of the Marvel stuff has appealed to me, though I may give them another look once I finish up on my immediate plans for the Batman stuff.

**kaiserjez**

Absolutely amazing work!

**GiraffeX**

Green Arrow is looking really nice.

**Valhalla130**

These look gorgeous.

**Century1**

No Batman again this time, it's a Batwoman instead:

**Paradigm**

Stunning as ever! Love the reds there!
