Suicide Squad Game Box

Earlier this year, in May, I picked up a huge amount of Batman Miniature Game figures from a store that was selling them cheap. This was because the company was changing the SKU codes and the distributor in Canada that the store dealt with was no longer going to carry them. Unfortunately there was no rulebook available at the store.

The month after, I found a webstore in Canada dedicated to the Batman Miniature Game that was selling this...the Suicide Squad Game Box. Among the things it came with was a rulebook. It also came with a special Batman, the Ben Afflick movie figure. More on that in another post.
You get an awful lot in the box. Two buildings, lamposts, markers, dice, and thirteen figures of the Suicide Squad and Joker's band from the same film (unassembled and unpainted) at 35mm scale. As mentioned before, you get the rulebook plus there are also special Suicide Squad scenarios to help learn the game. Currently there is a second edition of the rulebook available from the Knight Models company on their website for free, as well as a compendium and quickstart ruleset.
The buildings were easy to put together and for a three by three foot table you do not need much more scenery...but it would help. The buildings provided have lots of platforms for models to rest on as they scale up or down the building.
Here is the three story building with the Batman (Ben Afflick) figure for scale.
You can even stack them for skyscraper type action on the tabletop.
A good deal to get started in this game, as each figure will generally cost 20 euros or 40-50 euros for a leader and three henchmen models. The old models were metal and the new models being produced are made of resin. The Suicide Squad Game Box is currently out of print but may be available in some stores. They also might be looking at a new two player starter box as well. I will be posting more about the game and models I paint as time goes on.
