Dang, I would have been (would be! hint HINT) all over that Dragon Apprentice set piece....
-
The 30th anniversary dragon is the only thing I've pledged for (for better and worse...) this kickstarter. I'm reassssssonably confident that Reaper will go ahead with it regardless whether the total is hit or not but on the remote chance they dont, what would that mean in my case, do I just cancel my pledge? Really don't have any interest in anything that has actually been unlocked as of yet so I dont really have a desire to redirect the pledge to anything else...

I dont suppose theyve mentioned what the material for the dragon will be have they? Hopefully BonesUSA or Black? Regular bonesium would be pretty disappointing because the deathknight will suffer greatly for it (even if the dragon would be more or less fine)...

The Greek set in general really exceeded my expectations, really like a lot of the models from there, Cerberus is probably my fave tho...

Bones 5 Kickstarter Figure Assembly Questions & Advice

The head of the cyclops from the Greek set would not fit into the body for me at all. I had to boil the head for a good minute in order to soften the plastic enough to get it in.- 69 replies

The new close up shots of cerberus in the greek expansion look fantastic. Was a little worried about that one but it looks great. -

Fan Favorites is a tough call... definitely some stuff in there that I looks like it could be great but so much is just concept art or WIP its hard to say. Balanced against the fact that it could be 1-2 years after shipping before they would be available separately.... so like potentially 2022-2023... -

I’ve said it before I have zero need for any of these dragons... but yeah I’m getting all the dragons. Except maybe the shadow. -

My sentiments exactly. I pledged $120 but knew I was never going to get the core set, rather that was my 'kitty' to spend as I saw fit. Was getting concerned that I wouldnt really find enough of interest this time around but that Greek Xpac part 3 moved it into must buy territory. Just waiting for the last dragon or two (and Murkillor dammit!) and i should be good... -

3 days left and we are still missing... 1-2 dragons (better not miss on that beauty ‘red’...) the ship incubi/succubi part 3 of water xpac murkillor in bones black (pleassssee...) I hope it all makes it! (Well actually I only REALLY hope the dragons and murkillor make it ) -

Still holding out hope that that Murkillor resin model from this last reapercon makes it in to bones black because I really love that model. -
i dont need more dragons i dont need more dragons i dont need more dragons these are great looking dragons...

These were two of my faves from Bones 3 but I felt the bones version didn't do the sculpts justice so I picked up the metal versions. Much better. I wish I was more creative with my colors for the dryad but alas color selection is not my forte... always a struggle... Anyways I was pretty happy with how they turned out so thought I'd share with the rest of you wonderful painters... Oh I guess the tree hugger has to be linked ... https://imgur.com/OLgnPOL

Bones 2 was my first reaper kickstarter. I bought the core set but on fulfillment learned that I really didnt like the detail level and bendiness of the bones material for human or smaller miniatures. Loved the bigger models though. For bones 3 and 4 I skipped the core sets only picking various add-ons (typically spending ~$100 each time). The Bones Black KS will be an interesting announcement for me... I'll definitely be paying attention to the core set again, but ultimately we'll have to wait and see. Some of the bones black models from Bones 4 have still been pretty lackluster in the detail department (velociraptors for example) but certainly the freebies (owlbear, efreet, goblin shaman) seen so far have been pretty good to great... Oh and of my Bones 4 order, Blacksting is definitely my favorite with Nargalauth (sp... the balrog thingey), Mossbeard, and the firegiant hunter being tied for 2nd... -

New Cloud giant for upcoming Reaper mystery project
JGF replied to pcktlnt's topic in Reaper General & Faq's
That’s a great model my goodness. The musculature in the legs is fantastic looking... and the overall detail is great -
Anyone have experience with mixed use of oils and acrylics on minis? I've got some larger mini's that I would love to do some base coating with oil paints and then come back to do detail work with regular acrylic afterwards. Anyone know if this is OK or if there are any special considerations you have to keep in mind for this? I understand that oil has an extended drying time (several days) which is fine... Does oil need a special primer to stick to mini's or are the regular brands fine? What about vice versa... if I've already got a (dried) acrylic base coat down is it OK to do some oil on top for some nice blend effects?

Those casts turned out a lot nicer than i thought they would (nice paint job too!).... hmm might have to pick those up...

At one point Reaper had posted a picture comparing the new hill giants to the old hill giants but it was quickly pulled (think it showed a forthcoming reward at the time).... Is it able to be (re)posted now?

I held out well in the end. Locked in for Nargaulath, Fire/Hill Giant Houndsmen, Blacksting, and the big Treant. So far I am still holding strong on NOT ordering DoD but it looked even better on the after party video. I love it but I just have too many unpainted dragons so I really need to be strong. That fan favorite Xpac has stuff that I absolutely love (portal, slaad) but I'm going to have to wait for retail on those... hoping on seeing the slaad in metal tbh... Will wait to see some of the concept art realized as masters before I decide on them... (frost giants, devils,nyarlathotep) -
