New Batman, Robin, Killer Frost & More From Knight Models
July 15, 2015 by brennon
Knight Models have now added their releases for July onto the webstore giving you the first taste of what is coming in their line of Arkham Knight Batman Miniatures Game models alongside a few more bad guys too. See what you think...
The Good Guys
First up we have the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder. Batman, as we saw a few days ago, is dressed up in his Arkham Knight armour ready to take on any number of different drones on the battlefield that is Gotham.
At his side we also have the Tim Drake version of Robin who I'm sure most of you console owners will be happy to see more in the Batgirl downloadable content coming to the game. Now all you need to do is get your own Batgirl and then play out these scenarios from the game on the tabletop.
Oh and I'd get rid of that shield...or whatever it is. I don't like that at all.
Talking of game scenarios how cool would it be to play out the Red Hood content!? I won't give you any spoilers but the few scenes he gets in the DLC are pretty cool (if short).
The Bad Guys
On the bad guys side we have Harley Quinn & Crew that we've already seen as well as someone I'm not so familiar with, Killer Frost. There are also some more angry Arkham Asylum Inmates looking to hit the streets and cause some chaos.
I think it's generally accepted that this is one of the best Harley's they have done to date. I'm not such a fan of the crew themselves but then I didn't like their aesthetic in the game. That's not to say they don't rock; they just aren't my cup of tea.
Killer Frost is a character I'll admit I had to look up using a bit of Google-Fu. She has been part of the Suicide Squad and while she has faced Batman she finds herself more at odds with Firestorm. I must admit these are some DC characters I really know next to nothing about!
Still, it's good to see her model pop up, broadening the DC universe on the tabletop. She has also had some run ins with Flash so I could imagine this being a precursor to those models coming soon too.
What will you be picking up?

Killer Frost is looking great.
Come think of it, DC does have several ice themed super villains. Besides of Killer Frost there is least Mr Freeze, Captain Cold, Icicle and Icicle Jr that have that same theme.
I really like Robin’s pose. Best version of him they’ve done so far.
Was hoping for some ivy stuff or a scarecrow crew
Probably coming down the line – would guess at seeing more Arkham Knight models in August.
I’m really impressed by all the sculpts – I don’t know about Robin’s paintjob though – I know they were going for blonde but that white hair + the sculpt around the mouth make him look 80yrs old… that’s not a baton, it’s a disassembled walker! 😛
These new minis are impressive. Will probably pick up the Harley Quinn crew, and Batman….and Robin….and the Arkham inmates…and Killer Frost.
Agree with you @apocryphal, the paint job does make Robin look old. He can still kick ass, as long as he doesn’t fall over!
With the Suicide Squad movie on the way, I hope Knight Models get round to doing some models for that too.
Id hope they go for the Arrow suicide squad rather than the film one, as they would have to offer another Joker and Harley sculpt. As an aside i just wish that the TV suicide squad was going to the big screen, as how can a film top the several hours or character development of the squad arrow has put in over 3 seasons???? plus i wouldn’t have to sit through the obligatory (and abridged by comparison) origin story’s again!
Killer Frost is an odd choice. I always associate her with Firestorm, myself. Of course, these days people connect her to the Flash since she’s in the TV Show (well, sorta – but, even then, she’s strongly connected to Firestorm).
I could do without the gargoyle bases and stuff. Give me a Batman in a slick fightin’ pose.
Robin: because hitting people with only one stick just isn’t enough.
robin look good but will have to cut off that awful shield and do conversion of arm.
Awesome stuff from KM as usual. Great game!
Killer Frost is in a certain CW series….
