There is no Crane... Only Scarecrow!

In an effort to paint my way though my Batman collection I've completed another free agent... The Scarecrow.  I'm going to apologize now the picture quality isn't great, my camera didn't want to focus on the creepy little bastard.



Gotham Bill Boards part 2 The Iceberg Lounge

I've finished the second bill board from the City Bill Boards Set 1 by Knight Models.  This one is for The Iceberg Lounge.





here's a few examples of how the bill boards act as cover

They do a good job of blocking line of sight, even with the regular sized figures.



I might try weather the metal at a later date, but for now they're finished.  I really like these and I want more.  So Knight Models, if you're reading this make a second set.

Gotham Bill Boards Part 1 The Vicki Vale Show

Here's the first of Knight Models' "City Bill Board Set 1" bill boards.  I'm assuming they're going to make a set 2 at some point.  You get two bill boards in a pack, one for The Vicki Vale Show, the other for The Iceberg Lounge.



And a few scale shots







The Iceberg Lounge bill board will follow in part 2

Operation end times no 20 Cry of the Banshee

First of all I'm totally listening to Cry of the Banshee by Brocca's Helm as I type this.  Secondly I've painted a banshee.  That is all.

It's Showtime! Bats!

I'll just let this guy speak for himself.






Joker's all ready to play with the Batman.  The boss fight in the game may have been shit, but this dude is awesome.  I was actually a bit apprehensive about painting him, I really didn't think I could do him justice.  I think I succeeded.  And at least he isn't red.

The Harvest part 2 Possessed

Over the weekend I finished a few possessed I've had lying around for ages.  Now I have a basic Slaughtercult formation for my Harvest army.

So here's more red guys... actually I've been painting a lot of red guys lately; daemon prince, berserkers, bloodletters, Roy Harper, possessed and I'm half way though painting a skull cannon... I must be having a red month.

 Lets take a closer look

This dude is actually missing a shoulder pad, I decided it can stay missing, possessed are supposed to be disheveled.


I decided this guy is the unit champion, because reasons.


This guy has big face manifesting in his breast plate.


Here's another guy, with mantis arms and a mutated helmet


And finally there's this guy charging with a big blade protruding from his had and a big claw.


BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
SKULLS FOR THE THRONE OF KHORNE!

Speedy

I haven't done a Batman Miniatures Game post for a while, so this is well overdue.  In this installment we have Roy Harper, aka Speedy, for my Green Arrow crew.








First off, he came with a pre-textured base, awesome! no more fannying around with sand for me.  I've gone with two shades of red on him to break the miniature up a bit.  The armour, bow and quiver are a darker red, and the flexible fabric parts are a brighter red.  He also has a blue hat, I know he has a hat in the comics, but I still think it looks stupid. 

Did I mention the pre-textured base?

Rules wise he's pretty fast.  He's got acrobatic and three MC, which makes him a good objective grabber, he's also got undercover for extended deployment zone shenanigans.  However his main strength is is shooting stuff.  He's only  He has rapid fire and good aim, so anything you shoot at is in trouble.  However he only has a low ammo capacity, better get chasing that ammo crates.  He's not to great in melee, but does have the charge rule so he can barrel the bad guys out the way.

Also pre-textured base.

The Harvest part1

Remember this guy?
Well he game me an order.  "Paint me up some homies!"  So I did.

First of all I painted him up some Khorne berserkers.  Actually these are repaints, they used to be World Eaters, I have improved them.







I grabbed the first eight berserkers in my case.  If I was using berserkers normally I'd have a power fist or power sword in there.  Currently as they stand this squad has one chain axe and one plasma pistol.


And some bloodletters.



Again the first eight I grabbed.  This cohort has a banner of blood (and it sure looks bloody). and an instrument of chaos. 




Why the squads of eight?  Well in codex Khorne Daemonkin the minimum squad size for troops units is eight.

Here's the whole gang ready to kill, maim and burn.

Azaroth the Fallen One

I just finished a miniature that I've had for a long time, Azaroth the Fallen One by Heresy Miniatures.  I don't think you can get this guy anymore, I know he was made available again for the kickstarter, but I don't know if he'll be made for general release again.  I'll be using him as daemon prince in my Khorne daemonkin army, which will be The Harvest by the way.  The Harvest has a similar colour scheme to my Maledict Brotherhood, just with the black armour swapped for red, and all my Khornate stuff will  be repainted accordingly.

Lets have a look




First of all Azaroth looks metal as fuck.  And you can quote me on that.  He was a lot of fun to paint, lots of good texture too.  There's one part I don't like and that's the wing membranes.  They're flat.  Some contours or ripples would have been nice, then I could get my drybrush on. 

Now to paint him some minions, so he can get out there and start collecting skills for the blood god.
