BMG: Agent 2 (DKR) [BatB]

Well it looks like I will be working on "The Dark Knight Rises Game Box" for quite awhile now and up next is another street Cop with 'Agent 2'.  'Agent 2' is the character that most The Brave and the Bold players were looking forward too, a cheap 15 Rep character to help fill in some of the points in their lists.

BMG: Agent 1 (DKR) [BatB]

Well I broken open my "The Dark Knight Rises Game Box" and started to work on some of the models.  Up first I wanted to work on the street Cops to replace my son's older metal models with the new resin ones so he can "technically" be legal for Standard BatMatch tournaments.

Going in numerical order, up first is 'Agent 1'.

BMG: Elite Op (Duke) [Bane]

Well the final model (Henchman) to be painted for the "Bane: Venom Overdrive" Bat-Box is now completed and it is 'Elite Op' (Duke).

This guy has an Assault Rifle that I can play with, 3 Blood, Rate of Fire 3....possible 9 Blood of damage.  A little payback to that Arkham Guard.

'Sharp Shooter' also marks my first model completed for 3rd Quarter 2019.

BMG: Unboxing 'The Dark Knight Rises Game Box'

Back on April 16th of this year, I pre-ordered the new "The Dark Knight Rises Game Box" direct from Knight Models.  The website had sad that it would be released on May 1st and we were really hoping we would have the box well before we attended MuseOn Con so I could get some of the models completed for the event.  Due to some Spain Holidays, the shipping was delayed and did not ship till May 22nd.

Early June I sent and email to Knight Models asking for a tracking number and they responded with only that they would look into it.  I kept emailing every week asking for an update and finally last Monday they sent me an email that my original order was stuck with Customs and being returned to Spain.  Knight Models was sending out a second shipment, this time with FedEx and provided a tracking number which I was watching closely.

Originally my package was scheduled to arrive today, but it came in early this past Friday afternoon and I took a peek inside the box.  The benefit of doing a pre-order was to receive the "Alfred" and "Bane" limited models (and I checked to see that they were included).  I think next time I will just wait for a US retailer to receive items and placing my orders with them.

Here is a quick look at "The Dark Knight Rises Game Box"






Weekly Chronicle 2019 #26

Well today is July 1st and we are half way through 2019 and the start of the 3rd Quarter for my Painting Queue.  Since keeping track of individual quarters, this past quarter was the most models I have completed in a 3 month span (58 models completed) and that does not count for any of the terrain I had built.  The terrain that was built does count for my Painting Points, and as of now I have already surpassed 2017 and 2018.  I should be able to finish the year with the second most points ever (I think 2010 will be untouchable since I no longer play/collect/paint horde type games/armies).

This past week looks like it was an average week for me, 2 models were completed for my "Bane: Venom Overdrive" Bat-Box, leaving just 2 more models to finish the box, and a game of BMG was also played this past Saturday.

This week I should be able to complete the Bane Bat-Box and start prepping a few more models, I just have to decide on what is next.

Gaming wise, I should also be able to squeeze in a second/third game of something this week.  With the holiday on Thursday and my son also being off from work, it will probably be a day of gaming and then also get a game in over the weekend also.  Not sure of the order of games, but it will more than likely be Guild Ball, X-Wing and BMG.

Battle Report: BMG 6/29/2019 (Batman vs League of Assassins)

Wow, it has been 3 weeks since my last game of Batman Miniature Game, but yesterday afternoon my son and I were able to get in a game, and it was Magical.  It was the first time either of us were going to play with Crews that had a Character that could do Magic.  My son was playing 'John Constantine' in his Brave and the Bold list, and I was trying 'Damien Darhk' in my League of Assassins list.

For myself, it was also the first time trying 'The Wizard' and 'The Heretic', so it was going to be a learning game for me.

As we always do, we randomly rolled for our Scenario and this time rolled "The Trophy".


Table ready for deployments.

This game started off really bad for my League of Assassins, with losing my Leader, 'The Wizard' and the top of Turn 2, I moved him in the wrong direction during Turn 1 (so I can see what he can do with his shooting) and left him exposed to the Magic of 'John Constantine'.  2 Turns of Magic easily put down my Leader.  The original plan was to stay next to 'Hasssasin 1' who had a 'Rare Nth Medallion', but as stated above, I wanted to see how good he can shoot his Bow and Arrow.

After losing 'The Wizard', it was going to be a tough uphill battle, luckily I was able to score points of Objectives the first two Turns to keep in the game.

This game stayed close all the way to the end and I managed to still have 3 players on the board all scoring Objectives for me.  The game ended in a true Tie, LOA (45), BatB (48).

Not sure how I like playing with Magic yet, the times I tried it my dice rolls were so bad, I think next time I need some more Henchman going for the Objectives while I have my strong players take out my Opponents.

BMG: Bane (Rebirth) [Bane]

I have been falling behind a bit on my painting compared to two weeks ago, but I did manage to paint the big guy himself, 'Bane' (Rebirth) from the "Bane: Venom Overdrive" Bat-Box.

I still have two more Henchman from this Bat-Box that needs to be prepped and primed, and honestly I am not sure when I will get to them.  Maybe I can do some painting tomorrow morning if it plans on raining.

A third Henchman is now completed from the "Bane: Venom Overdrive" Bat-Box, and today we have 'Support Op' (Dolph Wolf).

I have not had time yet to prep the remaining 2 Henchman, hopefully tonight I can get them primed and ready for the painting table.

Weekly Chronicle 2019 #25

Week #25 for 2019 was a so-so week for  me.  For painting, I was able to get 4 models posted for the Batman Miniature Game with just a couple ready for this week (I did fall a little behind this week).

In gaming news, only one game was played this Friday night, X-Wing (no Battle Report).  I thought since we are playing X-Wing at this years NOVA Open at the end of August, we still need to get a few more games of practice in (so I can work out what list I want to play there).  I am hoping this week for another game of X-Wing, and then maybe Saturday afternoon get in another game of Batman Miniature Game.

This week is the last week for the second Quarter of 2019 (and the second Quarter was really good this year), let see how many more models I can squeeze in before the week is over.
