Check Out Knight Models’ Wickedly Wonderful Bellatrix For Harry Potter!
January 13, 2017 by deltagamegirl22
I cannot even begin to describe how excited I am about the Harry Potter Miniatures Game in the works from Knight Models, and today's peek just reinforced this for me. We saw Mad Eye Moody first, and now it's the villain everyone loves to hate, Bellatrix Lestrange.
I think they really nailed this sculpt. She looks wildly, wicked- crazy hair and all. Can you not just hear that evil laugh and her chanting, "I killed Sirius Black! I killed Sirius Black!"?
Will you be getting into the wizarding world of Harry Potter on the tabletop?

Haven’t seen a single Harry Potter movie *jumps behind couch* but the miniature definitely looks wonderful indeed.
Intervention!! We need an intervention!!! 😉
@demonclaw don’t watch the movies read the books, I’ve seen the movies once but have read the books twice. despite the constant barrage of people telling me to read the books I would reply that it won’t touch Tolkien so i’ll stick to rereading the works of the professor. I was laid up with a broken hand and my sister handed me the books. I read the whole series in two weeks. i was invested in the characters by the end in a way that is difficult to find. the sculpt is lovely if that’s the right word for the… Read more »
I’ll admit I enjoyed Harry Potter somewhat when I first read it but the more I looked at the more the glaring issues with the plot and characters emerged. I always much preferred Pratchett, especially since he actually knew he was writing Fantasy unlike JKR who vehemently denied doing so.
just noticed her wand arm seems to have an extra joint, it must be an optical illusion from an odd angle. maybe i’m looking at it wrong, is anybody else seeing that.
Now you point it out, it is odd, but I think it’s just the photo – I reckon when painted you’ll be able to see the definition better.
It still looks to me like she has a tentacle arm holding the wand.. but it is a sculpt that captures HBC’s portrayal of the character.
No, she’s holding the bottom of the wand, it’s the wand that’s curved. Pretty sure that’s her hand /fingers at the bottom
I see what you mean. I think it’s an illusion, as you say @emptynessisform .
That looks really nice.
a great figure I think its the strange shape of the wand & the picture angle that makes the arm look weird?
We’ll see about the game but I’d love to paint the minis so far. If the game is any good, I might even get my daughter to play. Fingers crossed. 🙂
Like @emptynessisform I was a very late convert to Harry Potter, saying for years that I wasn’t interested in something so cliched. Finally, a friend of a friend did an ‘exchange’ of book recommendations and I gave the first book another go. And I had to admit that the books really were great. I thought the films were all disappointingly average, but these models… Wow! Hard to see this game being anything but a hit with such stunning sculpts. I wonder if it will really take off and will draw new blood into the gaming hobby in the way that,… Read more »
That’s what I’m hoping. I think such a recognizable and beloved IP may be just the nudge some folks need to make the leap. 😀
