The Next Suicide Squad Members Join The Roster From Knight Models
September 3, 2016 by brennon
A pair of new previews arrived online for the Suicide Squad as part of the Batman Miniatures Game by Knight Models. First off we're checking out the Will Smith version of Deadshot who seems to be the most well liked of the movie cast...
Deadshot is posed here ready to fire his wrist mounted weapon with rifle off to the side. It would have been cool to maybe see him the other way, with rifle raised, ready to fire but he looks pretty epic all the same. It's a very good likeness.
...He's Coming Back!
Next up we have possibly one of the oddest heroes with Captain Bommerang. We have actually seen a version of him before but this, again, is based on the movie version of the character.
He actually looks reasonably cool here although I'm still not sure on him as a character. Something about the characters in the DC universe just never rings as true as the ones from Marvel; for me at least.
What do you think of this pair?

For me in DC it’s never so much the concept but the ridiculous names they give them, they can be as bad ass as they like but when they say “I’m Captain Boomerang!” I would just fall over in fits of laughter.
Miniatures as always from knight models are excellent.
It’s not just the name, he’s got a stuffed pink unicorn too …
Kind of sad that they didn’t add that one to the model as an option 😉
Is he actually called ‘Captain Boomerang’ in the movie? I don’t recall that being used and here the mini is just called ‘Boomerang’, though I’m not even sure that was used. Captain Boomerang is fine in its original context, which is Silver Age DC.
I thin Amanda Waller calls him Captain Boomerang when she is telling other people about the members of Suicide Squad.
I like both miniatures and i like bot DC and Marvel, both have good and silly characters.
Well he is one of The Flash’s villains and those tend to have sillier names than villains of say Batman or Superman or Wonder Woman.
Very nice. Who would not want have they own miniature Will Smith.
captain boomerang was, I thought ,one of the best characters in suicide squad .
DC characters ? WATCHMEN is on a whole nother level . tell them @redben .
don’t hate on me , I subcribe to STAR WARS Marvel.
Correction – Amanda Waller says the Australian Tabloids call him ‘Captain Boomerang’.
Diablo has also been previewed for this set and Deadshot will have a masked face option. I really like the look of them all for this set so far.
Doesn’t marvel have a character called ‘the Whizzer’? How is that any better than Captain Boomerang?!
