Batcave menagerie- Bats, Bat-Cow and a T. rex

What animals are in the Batcave?

Bats

First- of course- bats. I'm looking forwards to stymying villains' plans with a swarm of these distracting mammals. They were some quick and nasty drybrushing and look fine en masse.

Tyrannosaurus rex

Secondly, a robotic Tyrannosaur. In Batman #35 (1946), Batman and Robin encounter a robotic dinosaur which is later brought to their trophy room. It is a staple item in every Batcave illustration, along with a giant penny and a giant playing card. It can be controlled to help defend the cave.

T. rex

Rawr!

I primed it bone with a rattle-can overspray of military green, then a wash of Vallejo 73.300 Sepia. Some light drybrushing then details including gloss varnish to the eyes.

It is a ridiculously large and gorgeous sculpt- it still only counts as one for the Bat-tally! I can only hope I get to use it in other miniatures games.

Seriously huge.

Bat-Cow

After a raid on an abattoir, Robin rescues a cow with a bat face pattern, and christens her Bat-cow.

The Battling Bovine was a controversial addition to the game- critics would have preferred a serious character, and fans became a bit obnoxious with spamming of 'Moo!' comments to the haters. I do like the whimsy. I used stippling to give some texture to her fur.
