90 Minute Challenge - Imperial Guardsman and Prisoner 01

Well, this is an unexpectedly productive start to the year! I took up the 90 Minute Challenge on Monday to paint up Prisoner 01 from the Batman Miniature Game. Not being happy with the final result, I had another crack at the challenge on Tuesday, finishing my first proper Imperial Guardsman in my new army scheme.

Building a Better City - Terrain Time!

Last week I had the opportunity to go to the Phoenix Lakeland Wargames Exhibition, which was the first wargames show in Cumbria. Along with a wander around, I took a load of photos, which can be found (hopefully) here on our Facebook page.

One thing that stood out for me was the quality of the boards on display for both the display games and the tournament boards for Batman. Pretty much as soon as I got home from the show, I started building some of my pile of MDF that I've acquired over the last few months. In just under a week, I've gone from nothing, to this.

Under The Red Hood - Batman Gang Complete

With a week until the Phoenix Lakeland Wargames show at Rheged, I've finally finished up my Batman crew to take to the BMG Participation/Demo table. The last model that needed painting was Jason Todd, the Red Hood.

Gambit from Knight Models - A Closer Look

This week's A Closer Look sees us venture into the Marvel Universe Miniatures Game from Knight Models, with Remy LeBeau, better known as Gambit.

BMG Joker Crew - Ready for Mayhem!

The Joker Crew pour from the gates of Arkham Asylum. They are ready to hit the streets of Gotham City to cause as much chaos and mayhem as they can before the Bat arrives!


The streets of Gotham will never be the same again.

Batman Miniatures Game Joker Crew WIP

Hello and welcome to my first Work in Progress project.

I bought the BMG Joker Crew models well over a year ago, and started painting them at the time. With the Phoenix Rising Event coming to Cumbria on 25th June, and the addition of a BGM tournament, I thought it best to dig my crew out and finish them off!


Due to a miscast, my Joker's knife was non-existent. But that doesn't stop him stabbing people anyway!

Gotham Police Officer - Ready for The Table

Two models finished in two weeks? Some might call it madness, others might call it momentum. Either way, a second model on and off my desk inside a couple of sessions and it's Fat Cop from BMG.

Animated Series Batman - Showcase

In a move as stealthy as The Bat himself, I snuck Batman from The Animated Series onto my desk in between my halflings and amazingly had him finished in only a couple of sessions.

The Killing Joke Joker - A Closer Look

For our second Closer Look, I've gone for Knight Models' The Killing Joke Joker - arguably the most classic iteration of the Joker to be turned into a model so far by Knight.

Showcase - Black Widow

It turns out that I don't have to spend weeks on a project to get something finished! Started and finished in about 12 hours over a couple of Sundays, I got the Black Widow from Knight Models painted up.

Superman Show Case.

It did take longer than the month but with a holiday some times and alot of the time with me things just dont go to plan but now he is done and based thought it was time to share with you all how he turned out.

How To: Pinning and Tab Pinning

I've spent a little time recently building minis from Knight Models to clear some space in my cupboard and decided it might be useful to do a little "How To" on pinning and tab pinning models to bases. A lot of people will already know these, or at least the pinning side, but there are always someone that might not have asked the question yet.

To assist me in this demonstration, I'll be using two versions of Jason Todd - Red Hood (Arkham Knight) and The Arkham Knight.

Hero Of the Month pt 2

This week has moved slowly With progress, but that is the price to pay for what I decided to do.

March is Hero Month.

In honor of the film Batman Vs Superman coming out this month was about time to paint a superhero.

Complete Miniature Lists for Knight Models - Batman, Spider-Man and Marvel Universe

As some of you may know, I keep track of my miniatures on a large spreadsheet. A large chunk of my collection is made up of the Batman Miniature Game and Marvel miniatures (now the Marvel Universe Miniatures Game and Spider-Man Miniatures Game) from Knight Models.

Recently in Arkham City Limits, the Official Facebook group for BMG, the question was asked - is there a list of all the BMG miniatures? With that question in mind and the release for pre-order of the first sets for the new MUG, I have altered my spreadsheet to now list all current releases from Knight Models for both DC and Marvel in 35mm.

Cataloging the Collection

This time last month, I detailed my collection of miniatures, which has since been added to. I know most of what I've got in my collection but I thought it would be useful to have a system to identify my painting progress with them.

With that in mind, I've started building a spreadsheet.

Brambleten's Tour Of Gotham - Part 9: Another Cop on the Payroll - Knight Models Gotham Police Officer

With the West Coast Gamers Batman tournament getting closer every day, I've been attempting to make a dent in the gang I'd like to take if I attend. With the GCPD Detective finished at the end of July, I got another member of Gotham's finest finished in time for my OMAM (One Miniature A Month) deadline at the end of August.

Brambleten's Tour Of Gotham - Part 8: GCPD Detective - Another One Off The List

Not every character in the Batman Miniature Game gets a name. Most do, in one form or another, be it the Green Arrow, or Turk, a Black Gate prisoner with two pistols. Some just get a job title, such as Gotham Policeman (better known as Fat Cop) or Clown (Knife), indicating the weapon the character is armed with. The GCPD Detective is one such character.

Beware The Court of Owls... and Hush - Knight Models New Releases

It's new faction time in the Batman Miniature Game, with the dreaded and long awaited Court of Owls arriving on the scene, along with the star of what is widely regarded to be one of the best Batman graphic novels - Hush.

The Devil of Hell's Kitchen - Knight Models' Daredevil 8/50

Like many people, I got caught up in Daredevil when it was released on Netflix a few weeks back, finishing the series (which is awesome - highly recommend it) the day after it's release.

Instead of saying "oh, that's it", I decided to try and carry the mojo forwards and got the Knight Models Daredevil mini out of the blister and got to work.
