Are Knight Models Bringing Swamp Thing to Gotham?
January 7, 2015 by dracs
Knight Models have posted a picture of the DC Comics character Swamp Thing on their Facebook page. Will the defender of the Green be the next hero to be turned into a miniature?
Swamp Thing is a fascinating character. Initially scientist Alec Holland mutated by chemicals after falling into the swamp, Swamp Thing was famously reimagined by Alan Moore to be an elemental being who took on Holland's memory and personality. He became a true power house of the DC universe, defending the botanical realm of the Green.
The prospect of Swamp Thing appearing as a miniature from Knight Models, and perhaps being included in the Batman Miniatures Game, has me really excited for one incredibly geeky reason: John Constantine first appeared in a Swamp Thing story.
This could be one step closer to me getting to field the Trenchcoat Brigade!
How do you think Swamp Thing would play in the Batman Miniatures Game?

My feeling is Swamp Thing probably won’t have rules for BMG, but will for the supers game KM are eventually planning on releasing. They’ve stayed away from going giving rules to the more super-powered DC characters that they’ve released models for, though they did float the idea of giving Flash rules to a mixed reception from the community.
Swamp Thing deserves to get more attention and I hope this will help that.
i sound to me like they are doing what arrow and flash series are doing.Arrow BMG is having at the moment no super powers but they might start putting them in slowly. But any how I would love to see rules for swamp thing i remember read when he came to Gotham and took over would be really interesting to see him and poison Ivy.
