Knight Models Welcomes Gorilla Grodd & More With This Month’s Releases
July 13, 2017 by brennon
Knight Models has welcomed a new raft of releases to their webstore for the Batman Miniatures Game and the DC Universe Miniatures Game too. We'll kick off with what's coming with Batman himself...
This Rebirth version of him is looking awesome and I like the styled chest piece which reminds me a little of The Batman cartoon logo. As another alternative Batman, this might find its way into many a collection.
Facing off against him we have some bad guys too with the Maroni Crime Family...
...and this Militia Set II which gives Batman some more heavily armed and armoured foes to deal with.
The streets are getting crowded with all manner of bad guys for heroes like Batman to face off against. I'd love to see a bank robbery/hostage situation played out where Batman can't just go in with his fists of fury and actually has to plot a proper strategy!
Apetastic Additions
Joining the DC Universe Miniatures Game we also have Gorilla Grodd and his band of warriors with a new crew set.
While they might not have the weapons of the modern day to wield in battle they are tough and incredibly strong. After seeing Winston go to town on folks when he goes berserk in Overwatch you can just imagine what Grodd is like. There's also a new Shaman model you can pick up too.
Of course with new villains, you're going to need to assemble a team of heroes to face them.
Superheroes & Supervillains
Banding together some of their releases the team at Knight Models have put together a set for the Justice League featuring Green Arrow, Hawkman and Flash.
But, if you're still feeling like a bad guy at heart you can also pick up their threesome of villains in the Secret Society Of Supervillains.
This effectively makes for an interesting tabletop experience already. Just throw in a few more characters here and there and you're ready for a clash.
Are you going to be picking up these new models and bundles?

Besides of Gorilla Grodd Crew to me as DCU fan most interesting ones are Justice League and Secret Society. Other Crews are also good but those don’t really catch my interest and then there is just another version of Batman. This time it just happens to be Rebirth version.
I’m waiting on the Harry Potter game to see if I could trust the folks at KM again…After the quick death of the Marvel Game, I’m not too eager to just jump aboard.
Also, I really think that the miniature line lacks cohesion…Some are inspired by the comics, some are clearly real actors miniatures… I find it kinda breaks mys immersion when the art style is all over the place.
I am not sure that the death of the Marvel Game was the fault of Knight Models ….. *cough Disney
we will never know.
KM has really improved their website but they still don’t communicate with their customer base enough (at all?)
I am glad to see their presence at Gencon and I hope this is the start of them really entering the US market.
the Grodd crew look great.
I like rebirth Batman. Regarding the sentiment above someone posted about it being ‘just another version of Batman’, I can see where they are coming from. On the flip side, the game is named after him. Also, I’d hazard a guess that Warner Brother’s may have, as part of the licensing deal with Knight, requested that x number of different Batman minis get released a year. They are all solid sculpts. While I wouldn’t buy the Grodd crew it is a nice touch to see them on release have an expansion mini. The Justice League and SSoSV crews are pretty… Read more »
I’m not sure the licensor would need to obligate KM to release more Batmens. They sell strongly which is also why there have been so many Joker/Harley Quinn releases.
Grodd is a great addition in that it brings something different to the table while in the same breath we get traditional mobsters as well. I think there is something for everyone this month.
It is also worth noting that the Grodd crew is being released in resin rather than the usual metal. Presumably this is a new approach for the larger sculpts?
I agree that the more likely reason is that they sell well. Which is a good enough reason in its own right.
They all look rather nice.
They have been putting some really nice figures. I hope they keep rolling along.
