Review - The Court of Owls miniature figure set for Batman Miniatures Game from Knight Models

Miniatures

Some of the pieces have small sprue channel remains, and some flash. It's easy to find and remove them.

The pieces are very fragile, the weapons break easily due to their realistic proportions and dynamic poses.

For the full reviews, read the following articles:

Strix

Xiao Luung

Base

The The Court of Owls set comes with black plastic scenic bases. The base needs trimming, there is sprue remain on them. They have a slot at about the 1/3 line of the base. Although all of them have slottabase tabs, two of the minis didn't fit the slot, the other two fit, but not tightly, so you'll need to glue them or use blutac to attach them.
The 1/3 slot of the base do not really suit the two running minis (Strix and William Cobb), I'd rather base them on the center line.
