It probably never happen but as your now selling tickets for this online is there any protection to stop one person buying all 20 tickets and selling on the tickets to others at different prices
Yeah unlikely but if it did happen we’d deal with it some way 🙂
I’ve seen folks deal with it by making tickets non transferable. But hopefully it’ll not be a problem! I’ve already got my ticket and I’m so excited
Awesome job guys! Great DC game. Batman 4ever!!!!
found it, hmmm decisions
Great show guys.
Those French will be making their way into my Collection, I wonder if they’ll be doing a “Buy Three get a Character” deal with them?
Massive thanks to @laughingboy for running the competition
I dinged the dong
I admire Dong dingers. Well done Sir.
Ding.
Batman set looks amazing.
More excited about the FFG Star Wars legion Clone Wars core set and expansions. Already pre-ordered.
Knight Models have the most amazing sculpts. I just wish they didn’t lose the Marvel License. But they have DC and this set is epic!
I wish they hadn’t lost the star wars license before I got all of those 😉
Starved for weekender, never go on hiatus ever again D:
Boot Camp baby!! I’m signed up 🙂
I also like the look of the Batman box
Good one
Are there Imperial slightly hesitant troopers as well as sure troopers
there are plenty of bloody terrified troopers, I know that
But fear leads to hate, and that leads to suffering….
which is why the Empire suffered 😉
Happy Weekend!!
My Monolith Batman kickstarter just arrived this week as the Knight models starter set was announced. I thought you might be able to proxy minis between games? So if I am in with a chance to win the new starter set I will let you know.
Mine arrived this week too, isn’t it absolutely gorgeous?
I’m insanely jealous … or at least I will be until my kickstarter copy arrives.

Nice box. Just in time for bgcc
Would love the Batman two-player starter!
I’ve got a couple of friends I think would love the game.
