A New Month Of Batman Miniatures From Knight Models
May 6, 2015 by dracs
Knight Models have published a full preview showing off their upcoming monthly releases for the Batman Miniatures Game, ranging from the precise expertise of Lady Shiva to the unpredictable insanity of Joker's Daughter.
This line up brings with it all new characters, drawing upon their appearances in both the comic books and the video games to create some suitably awesome miniatures.
Of particular note is the inclusion of two new Bane Thugs in this line up.
While I was not blown away by Batman Arkham Origins I did think Bane and his mercenary band were OK in it as it did get a good mix of his nature as a cunning tactician and an implacable physical force. His mercenaries were relatively challenging to deal with and these two add an elite element to his gang in the miniatures game.
Another set of markers is also on the way for Black Mask's crew.
Knight Models' game counters are always of a particularly good level of quality and I have really liked how they have made specific ones for the various gang leaders in the game. It just helps add an extra level of character to everything.
Don't Forget Marvel
Of course, Batman isn't the only thing Knight Models is working towards as Doc Oc, one of Spider-Man's greatest foes.
Otto Octavius is perhaps my favourite of Spider-Man's rogues gallery and I particularly love Knight Models miniature of him. It is a fantastic model and makes me long for a Marvel tabletop game to use him in.
Which of these new minis are you looking forward to?

All those look really good.
Joker and league of shadows crew already have a lot in them. I am still waiting for more ivy plants. Banes thugs are the best of this bunch I think.. All lovely minis I must say though
Considering the success of the batman game, i bet it won’t be long till there’s a gameusing tthe marvel miniatures.
I think its already in development, it will probably be similar but with more of a super powers focus which could be a nice contrast.
check out power legion from Ganesha Games for a decent supers game , that has powers
I’ll add my support to Power Legion for superhero gaming. Its a great system.
The May releases for BMG make me very happy. Bane and League are my two primary villain forces that I’m working on and I love the new options these provide. I’m disappointed that Joker’s Daughter is a Joker crew only model. Pre New-52 she was all over the place and I thought she’d make a good free agent. She’s an interesting addition to Joker, but I doubt many people would choose her over Harley when building a crew.
I love the ninja!
I do wonder how the crew/faction system will work in the marvel game
I can see it being a completely different setup and rules system, I can’t imagine Marvel and DC would want their games to be cross compatable
