Monolith Show Off The Thugs Of Batman The Board Game
July 10, 2017 by brennon
Batman always needs some goons to beat up. So, Monolith shared with us some of their Thugs sculpted by Arnaud Boudoiron and painted by the hand of Martin Grandbarbe.
Down in the Narrows, these brigands will be robbing stores, holding people up and gunpoint and generally making life a misery for the people of Gotham. So, Batman better get stuck in and lay them out!
It's nice to see a range of different sculpts and weapon options for these Thugs showing off the variety of down and dirty ways they can try and bring down Batman.
It will be interesting to see if they are able to keep the threat of these Thugs real with their ranged weapons. Afterall, Batman is good but he can't stop a lot of bullets. Maybe they'll even work in something of the fear factor Batman has?
While I wouldn't back many of these Thugs one on one versus Batman I think as a group they could prove to be a problem.
What do you think of these goons?

all of them may have a slim chance?
I know the cartoony look is on purpose, but sorry, I prefer more realistic models. They look awful.
The do look awful. If you look at the paint job they are extremely well done. You don’t like them because of the art style, that does not mean they are awful. Awful is way to harsh a word. The whole style of the game is old school batman from the comic books. It is suppose to be like the comic books come to your table top. That may not be what you like, but it does not make it awful. Not every game can please everyone. I am a fan, you are not but that does not call for… Read more »
I hate that there is no edit button 🙁 “They do NOT look awful”
I am sorry, they are not awful. I think they are awful. My opinion is that they are awful. And yes, i know the look is on purpose, that’s why I think they are awful, because they did that cartoonish style knowing that they were going to be cartoony and not realistic. It is a choice the artist made. NOT the art director, but the artist. Why I think this? Because problem is, some of their minis are realistic, taken from looks like the hush comic book (killer croc) or the Jim Gordon, that could be perfectly an art from… Read more »
They look like they are out of a Frank Miller book to me. Works with the theme.
At least there are no nipples…(thanks George)
