Tabletop Skirmisher Shows Off The Riddler For Batman Miniatures Game
August 24, 2015 by brennon
Tabletop Skirmisher have shown off The Riddler who is going to be the next gang leader coming to The Batman Miniatures Game from Knight Models...
As you can see The Riddler comes with three of his bots that, in the video game, you have to fight as both Batman and Catwoman. They have different coloured power cores labelling who can take on which type. I wonder if that will make it over into the game mechanics?
I think Riddler is looking great and very in touch with the character from the game but the bots leave something to be desired. I just don't think they look as interesting as they could do.
What do you think?

Well at least it isn’t the Jim Carey version….
id rather have one that looks like careys version than that awful looking model I think its one of the worst they have made
Blame Rocksteady’s (The arkham series, game developers) artists, even in arkham knight the bots look crap cant really blame knight models for going with the designs of a 3rd party.
Wonder if they just used the 3d models from the game to produce the moulds, wouldnt be hard to export from maya (or similar) into autocad and generate some gerber files for mould production
Sorry but for me the only Riddler is the Frank Goshen one
Gorshin sorry!
That is very unusual looking Riddler.
Never played the game, but Riddler and robots?? When did he become Tony Stark?
When I read Riddler I had to look twice……..this is not the Riddler to me.
He basically mentally broke and became a recluse sticking with robots and gizmos in the game. The Riddler was the weakest part of Arkham Knight for me. The bots were lame, the driving sections were obnoxious, the broken mechanic in a Hawaiian shirt look of his was disappointingly dull, and even the puzzles themselves were weak compared to the other three games.
On the plus side, Knight Models already has a far far better Riddler model available for fans of his. I love pairing him with my Penguin gang.
its the only arkham game im seriously considering not 100%’ing, but i guess my gripe with the riddles is that they are too easy given the 600 odd ones ive solved prior to knight, i guess they cant make them to tricky as the game has to be completable by people who havnt played the other 2.5 (origins still hardly counts in my book), guess they peaked with city… Still at least the weakest entry in the series is still 1000% better than any other big name superhero franchise computer game, guess we can have too much of a good… Read more »
Agreed. I grew up with Batman the Animated Series, so to me Riddler will always be a guy in a green suit and bowler hat.
I was really excited for the riddler gang, not anymore. heres hoping they dont take a similar path when they do mr freeze and crew
Honestly I’m just taking some extra Penguin henchmen and painting them up in a more Riddler style. Might not be a “legal” gang, but far more to my tastes as long as my friends are good with it. 😛
I’m lukewarm on this one too. The free agent Riddler model is way cooler.

What in God’s name happened?! Knight Models do some of the best mini’s on the market. This is far below average for them as well as the painting for a studio display is weak.
Blame the source material they are working with. The paint job is pretty spot on to how he looks in the arkham series of games, although i prefer the models they used in asylum and city over the knight model.
Personally I think the Riddler sculpt is fine, it is the style that is a question of taste. I didnt buy the game becore it was pulled off sale due to technical issues on PC so I dunno about the bots. I dont hate what I see but this certainly isnt the best set in the range.
if they’re doing the Riddler from the game you want him in the mechanical suit
I never thought of that. I wonder how many points mecha-riddler would be in the miniature game!
Probably about 110-120 rep. About Titan Joker level, a bit less physically imposing but with the Riddler’s control abilities. Though I’m not sure the difference in AK Riddler and Free Agent Riddler yet.
Damn they ruined my favourite batman villain,guess I’m sticking with my two face/ riddler gang and yes it is inspired by Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carey haha.
I actually enjoyed Jim Careys Riddler but thats besides the point…
This is honestly the first set out of Knight Models Ive looked at at and openly disliked.
Which is a shame as I wanted a Riddler crew.
My plans are now to buy the existing model, and then build a custom crew which will all be counts as for these rules
