Hi everyone, I produced a review of the Batman Miniatures game on my youtube account. If you want to have a look at my models and some game pictures, then the link is here: YouTube link Cheers, Leigh |

This is a wonderful link. You have some amazing terrain and scenics, and your paint jobs are fantastic. I wish I could play in one of your games! I've been really impressed with the quality of Knight Models, but I've been holding off because of the expense. It's good to know the game is good and the rules are free. That way you can try it out with some proxies (like Clix) that are easy enough to obtain before making a big investment. I think more and more companies that offer miniatures with new games may offer free rules to offset the cost of the models themselves. Blackwater Gulch is a good example. Thanks for posting this! |

I went to the webpage. Fantastic minatures! But I don't seem to be able to find the rules. |

@XRaysVision Direct link to the rules: PDF link You actually have to scroll through the whole Batman listing to find the rules, scenarios, etc.: link If you want to test drive the rules using proxies, you can download he character cards at the detailed description of the minis. Some minis still without downloadable cards, but will be added. |

Thanks LOTG2, I was just going to find those to link here! The Angry Piper- It's fair to say that I paint more than I game (a complete turnaround from a few years ago), and I've come to realise that I'd rather have better models than simply 'more', if that makes sense. My painting skill is not much more than a few year's of experience in developing a steady hand, with some time-saving tips picked up from painting Games Workshop armies. These models, however, reward any extra time you put into them because they are such lovely pieces of sculpting. I agree on the free rules part- however I also see the point that every company is different and not able to do this. If Knight Models came up with a bound, English- language, official rulebook, I'd buy it like a shot! There's great scenario possibilities with this too. I'm waiting for a Black Mask model now (much more likely since Arkham Origins was released), as I can then formulate a scenario based upon Joker forcing him and his mob out of the Gotham Steel Mill, which happened in the background leading up to the Arkham City video game. I shall call it the Fall of the Roman Empire. Leigh |

Hi Leigh; Well done video review, I appreciate you sharing it. I had not heard of this rule set or the miniatures, so thanks too for bringing it up. Very well done on the miniatures and terrain/game board. Good gaming; Joe |
