Knight Models Drop DC, Batman & Harry Potter Releases For August
July 30, 2018 by brennon
Knight Models has released a bevvy of new models for the Batman Miniatures Game, the DC Universe Miniatures Game and Harry Potter! We'll start off where all good stories begin and that is introducing you to the new villains of the piece.
Taking the lead is Poison Ivy here who gets herself an amazing new model and a set of angry looking flowers which are focused towards devouring her enemies. When it comes to the other villains that have taken to the streets of Gotham we have...
Falcone Crime Family
Joker Clowns
Joker's Daughter
Talia Al'Ghul
King Shark
King Shark is clearly the best model from this range of villainous releases. I am going to be clearly painting him up as one of the Street Sharks...
It's not all just bad guys though, of which there is quite the rogue's gallery, as there are some heroes to throw into the mix as well. Maybe if things go insanely badly you might end up running into Batman from his nightmarish view of the future.
Back in the traditional future of DC, however, we have Batgirl who might take to the streets to try and take on some of these challenging villains.
If you want to go a little bit off book then there's plenty to check out including Huntress...
...and this pair known as Blue Beetle & Booster Gold. Yep, I have no idea who they are either...
The new material really does appear to produce some stunning paint schemes that's for sure. You see a lot of detail across the various sculpts and it is a big step up from what we've seen before with the old metal characters.
Lovegood The Lioness
As well as these new miniatures from the DC and Batman universes we also have a new miniature for Luna Lovegood for the Harry Potter Miniatures Game.
She is presented in her costume that she wore to support Gryffindor during their Quidditch games. I always thought Luna Lovegood was an amazing character in the books and she was played rather darn well in the movies too.
Which of the new releases will you be snapping up from Knight Models this time around?

@brennon typo on the Knight Models information, that is Blue Bettle and Booster Gold (not Bold).
Thank you for pointing that out – will get that changed!
Not your fault they got it wrong in the image.
fabulous looking models.
The geek in me has to add that there’s a typo. The Hero (well somewhat questionable) Is “Booster Gold”, a time traveler from the future who’s quite an egotistical man. As for Blue Beetle, that seems to be the original from the 1960s (?) the later versions of Blue beetle were teenagers that paired with a symbiotic alien weapon that the original found.
This is the Ted Kord version of Blue Beetle from Justice League International, who was active until 2005.
For anyone going to Gen Con, Nightmare Batman and Luna in her lion hat will be at the Miniature Market booth: https://www.miniaturemarket.com/gencon
One of the best things about this month is that so many crews get something new here! Some of them are re-castings of the metal sculpts into resin with tweaked rules to make them a bit more competitive. It is a really strong month even if not every character is exactly A-list unless you happen to read a lot of comics!
So………when do the Harry Potter minis actually go up for sale?
It’d be nice if Knight Models actually had any decent customer service. I pre-ordered the HP game and have tried several times during the last month to cancel that order. Not a single response. I’ve had to open a Paypal dispute. Pathetic. Will NEVER purchase any other product from them again, either direct or through any other seller.
