Batman Miniatures - Arkham Knight Batman (Suit Mk 8)

[Agis]

Arkham Knight is the first PS game I actually really played. Normally I am extremly lousy in console games, I grow up on PC classics like Wing Commander, Ultima Underworld etc. So normally I have big troubles to use a console controller. But Arkham Knight motivated me enough to PLAY the game. Naturally I wanted some AK minis. Knight Models will eventually bring some nice minis out, I am sure of that. But I wanted them NOW, so time to dig in the bits box.

The minis below are a AR armed Arkham Knight gunman, the Arkham Knight himself, a sword thug and a knife fighting thug. They work IMO pretty well scalewise!

Minis used: Warzone Light Airborne Infantryman, Warzone Infantry with Infinity head, Heroclix and Knight Model Bane thug.


The Knight himself.


The knife fighter is out of the Bane box, I just painted him in AK colours.


The sword fighter is based on a HeryClix mini.

More pics and some WIP pics are on my website:

amazing stuff, Agis, very creative choice of miniature and great painted too.

I'm still resisting buying a console though it's so tempting

These are fantastic conversions!

Awesome. I need to model up some AK minis. Really enjoying the game so far. I'm just confused with why no one but your Joker subconscious made the point of why the Arkham Knight looks a little like Bats and who the bloody 'ell has paid for this army. Tanks aren't cheap. But then again if they let their city get invaded then the ain't that smart.

Any thoughts on you scratch building any of the vehicles. A cloudburst tank would look awesome. Keep up the orgasmic conversions.

[Agis]

He, he, thanks.

Well I am in the middle of the game.
Right now the Cloudburst exploded and I hunt the Cloudburst tank.

I have no idea to build this monster.
However - the Serpent Drones can be done with RAFMs Aerial drones.

Normal tracked drones might be doable using GZG tanks.

OK, back to Batman! While progressing slowly in the AK PS4 game I just could not resist painting the excellent Knight Model Batman.


And the Mk8 Suit also gets its Zombicide Card.


Since the new Batmobile is just too good to be left out I searched for a suitable model. I know of two, the Eaglemoss Batmobile in combat mode and the Hot Wheels Elite car. While the Eaglemoss model seems to be more detailed it is just a bit too big, so I went for the Hot Wheel car. The model below got a bit of repaint here and there.


And as usual more pics on my Website: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/dc.html

More excellent work Agis.

[Agis]

Thanks!

I honestly do not know anymore, IIRC it was via an ebay instant buy.

I absolutely love the Batman games, and have just finished it the other day, only to start it over on the 'Nightmare' level.

You've caught the flavor of the game wonderfully in your painting.  The AK is perfect!

I spotted that Hot Wheels car as well, and really wanted to know how well it scaled with the Knight Models.  I say spot on.

After seeing your post I was very tempted to track down a Hot Wheels batmobile. They're quite expensive however, and I very luckily found an Eaglemoss one locally for $53 CAD with tax included. That's a good $25 or $30 cheaper than I could get either of them from ebay, so I'll happily make the compromise on the scale.

As always your painting and conversions look amazing. I'm envious of your skill!

[The-closet-gamer]

 Epically awesome with Bats new ride. More. Give me more. I demand it. MORE!

[obsidian3d]

I've been slowly trying to track down vehicles for scenery in my games as well, including a Batmobile or vehicle for each of my Batman figures. Some people have mentioned that they're doing a bit of paint work to their vehicles. I'd be really interested in hearing what kind of painting they're doing, and the techniques being used. I think the cars already look great, but if they can be made better with a bit of work...please tell me how!

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Brilliant, Agis, that lovely painted Batman looks very resolute.

Btw, got the same car
