Joker's Clowns 2nd edition set

Well I didn't waste any time on these.  These are the new second edition resins.  They take paint really well, but the mould lines are are harder to scrape off, not physically harder, just less cleanly.  Anhoo time for pictures.

Hobo Clown

Gone pink and green with this guy.  Both strong Joker colours.


White Face

I've gone for a techno goth look for him.


Bouffon

I tried to make this guy as bright a possible.  And contrasted the brightness with a dark nail gun.

I've got Mistah J and Deadshot on the painting block.  So expect them soonish.

Oh no! Not another clown!

Another clown done for my Joker gang.  It's becoming more of an army than a gang.  This dude is armed with a pipe.  It's actually called a tube on his character card, but that sounds a bit wimpy, pipe sounds much harder.

More Clowns for the Circus

I've done two more clowns.  These clowns called Sniggering and the imaginatively titled shield clown are another pair of Mister J's henchmen that I use a lot.

Let's have a closer look at Sniggering.

I like to use Sniggering as a sniper.  I put him in elevated position and have him pick off any fool who runs under a lamppost.  His other role is to guard my deployment zone.  He also has the informer rule, which gives me an extra pass action.  When used right I can launch an attack on one dude with a swarm of guys.

Now the clown with the shield

Shield clown has one use and one use only.  Grab the loot counter and hold onto it.  His shield gives him a lot of protection, but he can't fight for shit.  So loot chasing it is. 


Just three more clowns to paint, and a few chips in Joker to fix and my tournament list will be finished.  Then I can start on all those Rise of the Kage minis.

A funny kind of stick up

I've been playing quite a bit of the Batman Miniatures game lately, and in my games I always use two specific clowns; Borgon and Triston.  Both of which usually do me proud, but neither of them are painted.  Time to remedy that.

Here's Triston

He oddly has quite a thin head.

Since all the rest of my Joker's goons thus far have been white I decided it was time for some ethnic diversity.  Triston is sporting some Blackgate prison issue trousers, a dirty vest, hiking boots and a clown mask.  He is also carrying his trusty shotgun.

When I use Triston I usually play him highly aggressively, yet cautiously.  He usually runs up the field behind my shield clown, for protection.  Once the enemy are in range I move him around trying to get the best line of fire.  The shotgun is pretty nasty when it hits. I'm also not opposed to getting him close to the enemy.  His dirty fighter rule allows him to shoot at point blank range.

Up next time, Borgon.
