Knight Models Reveal More Of Their Flash / Arrow Expansion
March 29, 2016 by dracs
The Flash and Arrow expansion for the Batman Miniatures Game will soon be on the way. In the meantime, Knight Models have revealed more of what we can expect to find in its pages.
First, the expansion will bring us new rules for configuring our crews, letting us bring in iconic "teams" of superheroes, namely:
- The Suicide Squad
- Birds of Prey
- The Secret Six
- The Teen Titans
This is a pretty exciting set up, as I love the Teen Titans and the Birds of Prey (teams which I feel give more secondary characters a chance to shine).
It also opens up the possibility for other DC superhero teams in the future. Come on Dark Justice.
Of course, once you have your teams you'll want to take them to iconic locations. Fortunately, the expansion comes with some cool new scenarios for you to play through.
These include things like speedster racing, a scenario that sounds very different to the usual run around and punch people. The scenarios will take place in various iconic locations from the DC Universe, such as Gotham, Central City, Star City and even Gorilla City.
Last of all, one of the game's most anticipated features will be included. The use of vehicles.
Now you can bring out the shiny new Batmobile to bring justice to Gotham's streets. No doubt the drones from Arkham Knight and other such villainous vehicles will be appearing to fight against you.
Personally, I am really excited for this expansion. It promises some great new additions to shake up the Batman Miniatures Game and hopefully will mean Knight Models will soon be releasing some new minis alongside it.
What do you want to see in this new expansion? What heroes and villains do you hope will appear?

ZOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM
Is it wrong that, because DC own the characters, deep down part of me hopes to see some of Wildstorms stable of characters and teams further down the line? Stormwatch, WildCATS, The Authority, Gen-13, Team 7, I would mark out so hard to be able to pick them up in finely detailed metal….
Good news indeed. I’d picked up the necessary models to do the Birds of Prey before I read the BMG rules and I was disappointed to discover I couldn’t field them, except as hangers-on in a Law or Batman crew.
I’ll be picking up this book for sure 😀
I’ll get everyone to call this ‘Flarrow’ if it kills me lol.
This article misses out the most important detail. There is an image of Gorilla Grodd with another Gorilla henchman. WE ARE GETTING A GRODD CREW.
This is exciting but I do hope they flesh out a couple more crews before this arrives
Let’s hope for Arsenal and Starfire then I can make my Outlaws crew
Birds of Prey have sold me on this, now if only they would bring out Angela Queen of Hel for their Marvel game too..
Now we are talking. They might get me hooked after all.
It’s my hope that one day they will make a book that will cover the old Batman TV show. They already have Adam West Batman. I would so by a Vincent Price Egghead crew. 😛
This is going to be a lot of fun. I love DC comics. This is a dream come true.Now all I need is money.
I really – really – want to get into this game, but I hear a lot about the lack of quality control, or quality consistency. I see these figures and think how beautiful they are but always when I’m on the site I have “quality control” on my mind. If they were to straiten all that out I would be all in extremely quick.
It is improving, packs now have packing codes in them for KM to track problems which I take as a sign of them being serious about getting their QA in order. Newer sculpts are starting to come with the parts attached to their base tab from the same mold. That should reduce packing errors and the like. Newer sculpts are also getting favorable reviews for being better and cleaner castings so the number of miscasts should be going down. That all said, personally I haven’t had an issue yet and I have three crews built up to full game level… Read more »
