Knight Models Talk Batman 3rd Edition & Its Mix N’ Match Bases
November 25, 2019 by brennon
In answer to some questions that the community was asking about the model and some of those BIG bases that we're seeing from Knight Models for the Batman Miniatures Game, they have been showing off some of the instructions you get for the new game.

Here you can see the way that you assemble the miniature for The Joker for example including the massive 60mm scenic base and also the smaller base which makes him a lot easier to use in gameplay. This is something we were dying to see as it gives you lots of options for both hobbyists and gamers.
The same goes for the Gordon model which comes either with the big Bat Signal or the wall he can lean on in 'gameplay mode'. I like that you could then use the larger scenic pieces here as gameplay pieces which help create the iconic landscape of Gotham.
"To make the hobby experience as straightforward as possible for hobbyists old and new, every Back to Gotham box comes with a set of assembly instructions – but the eagle-eyed amongst you will spot some new innovations even here.
With the 3rd edition of the Batman Miniature Game, we’ve tried to make your models as customisable as possible, providing more options than ever before! Now, you can assemble your models with alternative heads, weapons and equipment, or make them more imposing with a larger base, with or without scenic elements – the choice is yours!
Everyone’s favourite clown can replace his oversized gun with his trusty hat, or swap the microphone for a poisoned fish. By mounting the Joker on the 60mm scenic base, you can increase the radius of his Inspire special rule and cover more ground quickly. But by placing him on his 40mm base instead, you can make him more manoeuvrable in the city streets. The choice is yours!"
So, there are some gameplay elements which have been added into the mix too which is interesting. I like the idea that we're also seeing lots of options for the Goons and such too in the assembly instructions.

You’re right, that’s a big question answered. Goodonyers Knight Models.
That is really great. It changes a lot in my humble opinion, and gives options for both modelers and gamers.
Won’t putting the big bases in pump up the price significantly?
Well if they had led with this it would have saved themselves a lot of flak! Giving us practical options is excellent news, hopefully they are all fairly straight forward to magnetise.
Sneaky Knight models : D
THey got us with that one. All in all I love the way they roll out this game. Constant flow of information, top notch miniature designs and hopefully a casting quality to match.
Fantastic figures.
Just when I’d resigned myself to just having the big bases. So the question now is do I get a second box to be able to have both options or do I learn how to magnetize things and save some money?
The cool thing about this is you can use the big bases as just scenery. Especially the Batsignal, you always need one of those. A model and some scenery in one box, pretty cool
