Marvel Universe Miniatures Game - Nightcrawler

Knight Models are continuing to expand the range of miniatures for both their Batman Miniatures Game and their Marvel Universe Miniatures Game and after my recent acquisition of their X-Men Starter Set I decided to expand my options with a few more members of the X-Men/Mutants faction...

Nightcrawler - Blister and Insert

The individual models come in blister packs which also contain the models stat card.

Nightcrawler - Stat Card

I've taken a picture of the stat card so you can see the quality and overall look as well as including a picture of the official version downloaded from the Knight Models website in case any of the info is obscured on the card version.

Nightcrawler
Nightcrawler is affiliated with the 'X-Men/Mutant' faction and is a  'Hero'.

All of the current Knight Models 30mm based range come with a textured base. These bases are all identical so if you're looking for some variety then you may want to remove the tab from the models base and attach it to something else.

Nightcrawler - Unassembled

Here's pictures of both sides of the unassembled model.

Nightcrawler - Assembled

This model has a number of challenges. The two main body halves were not a great fit so required a fair bit of filing and a tiny bit of filling and subsequently that made aligning the left arm with both the body and the base a bit of a pain. The tail is also quite flexible so may require bending back into shape though on the bright side this does mean you can bend it in a different way if you feel the need. The model will also need some mould lines removing and this can be simply done with either a sharp blade or a decent file though be careful not to remove any detail while doing so.

Given the pose I had to raise this up slightly in order to photograph the detail. This also made the multi-angle picture further down a bit jump...sorry about that...

Here's an alternate view of the model including a multiple angle view.

If you happen to be looking for colour scheme inspiration then Kurt Wagner has had a fair few outfit changes for you to pick from...

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.

Sunday Round-Up

I'm beginning to think that they've stopped looking for me completely now...or are running out of ideas...

Though maybe my super-powered allies Deadpool, Emma Frost, Gambit and Jean Grey have been somewhat of a deterrent as well...

...of course a bit of conventional firepower can also come in handy so I added some of the Toughest Girls of the Galaxies Elite Snipers to my entourage as well...

...however it never pays to be too cocky so it might be worth me looking into a cunning escape plan of some kind...next week...

I've also added the last few months of Raging Heroes, Knight models and Word Forge Games features to the 'Other Unboxings' tab and if you haven't been checking the blog every day then you've probably missed something amazing...

...not sure why I typed that last part...of course you're checking the blog every day.....

Marvel Universe Miniatures Game - Emma Frost

Knight Models are continuing to expand the range of miniatures for both their Batman Miniatures Game and their Marvel Universe Miniatures Game and after my recent acquisition of their X-Men Starter Set I decided to expand my options with a few more members of the X-Men/Mutants faction...

Emma Frost

Emma Frost is affiliated with the 'X-Men/Mutant' faction and is 'Neutral' so can be used with both 'Heroes' and 'Villians'.

All of the current Knight Models 30mm based range come with a textured base. These bases are all identical so if you're looking for some variety then you may want to remove the tab from the models base and attach it to something else.

Emma Frost - Unassembled

Here's pictures of both sides of the unassembled model.

Emma Frost - Assembled

The model has one thin arm with a relatively small contact point so be careful not to glue your fingers to it when attaching this part. The cloak also required a bit of clean-up where it's attached to the sprue as the unwanted part attaches on the outer curve of the cloak. The model will also need some mould lines removing and this can be simply done with either a sharp blade or a decent file though be careful not to remove any detail while doing so.

Marvel Universe Miniatures Game - Gambit

Knight Models are continuing to expand the range of miniatures for both their Batman Miniatures Game and their Marvel Universe Miniatures Game and after my recent acquisition of their X-Men Starter Set I decided to expand my options with a few more members of the X-Men/Mutants faction...

Gambit
Gambit is affiliated with the 'X-Men/Mutant' faction and is 'Neutral' so can work with 'Heroes' or 'Villains'.

All of the current Knight Models 30mm based range come with a textured base. These bases are all identical so if you're looking for some variety then you may want to remove the tab from the models base and attach it to something else.

Gambit - Unassembled
Here's pictures of both sides of the unassembled model.

Gambit - Assembled
The model consists of only two parts so all you need to attach is the arm and staff to the main body though I had a bit of trouble aligning the arm with the body without the staff being obstructed by the cloak, a tiny bit of bending back into place sorted that out though. The model will also need some mould lines removing and this can be simply done with either a sharp blade or a decent file though be careful not to remove any detail while doing so. The staff had quite a large lump of flash on it that required filing down though your own model may not as another person I spoke to didn't have that issue.

If you happen to be looking for colour scheme inspiration then Mr Lebeau has had a few different outfit changes though the approximate format is always fairly similar...
