Reminder: Pre-launch Bones 6 Kickstarter Countdown Stream is on today at 11am-ish (US central time - that is in a little less than 2.5 hours from right now as I'm posting this but also it will start on Reaper time so +/- however many minutes 😛 ) https://www.twitch.tv/reaperminiatures

Reaper Twitch Stream Reminders!: No RTB Pro Tips today or tomorrow as Anne is out of town for the weekend - she thinks she'll be back on Monday but if there are complications I'll let y'all know as soon as I know. Also, no Crafty Creative today, Josh will be back on next week. Pre-launch Bones 6 kickstarter countdown stream is on today at 11am-ish (US central time - that is in about 2.5 hours from right now as I'm posting this but also it will start on Reaper time so +/- however many minutes 😛 )

Please reserve this thread for information and questions about Bones 6 only. Please direct all chatter and discussions over to the Enthusiasm and Chatter thread, which is here: https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/97887-reaper-bones-6-enthusiasm-and-commentary-thread/ Off-topic posts will be removed from this thread and chatter will be relocated to the chatter thread. Please be polite and follow all forum rules. The Kickstarter Project page is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/reaperbones5/bones-6-tales-from-the-green-griffin/ (Does this topic seem like deja vu? That's because I messed up removing a chatter post and accidentally merged the whole thread into the enthusiasm thread. lol my bad)

It's hard to tell without having this guy in front of me, but if the other half of the arm is not fitting together or it seems like an issue that cannot be solved by normal prep work, I would send an email to [email protected] and describe the issue to them - DO NOT include a picture in your initial email as that will likely get you sent to the spam folder, just describe the issue to the best of your ability and if they would like a picture then they'll request one.

Hey peeps, I'm going to lock this thread and direct you over to this one: https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/97887-reaper-bones-6-enthusiasm-and-commentary-thread-unlocks-3122/ I think it's confusing to have two topics open for the same subject. Please feel free to continue on any conversations from here over to there. I'm not going to move any posts at this time because it makes the timeline confusing. (And also I am absolutely terrible at moving posts and am more likely to just accidentally delete them altogether. 😛)

I sent notification of this to the powers that be.

There were, I believe, 5 total old LTPK's, and they all have been OOP for probably 8+ years, I'm not sure about actual dates but I'm fairly certain they were completely retired in 2014. Even with the kit being OOP, Reaper has never distributed a pdf version of any of the kits and I am extremely doubtful that they ever would; furthermore, I do feel obligated to give a friendly reminder that the old booklets and the information contained within are copyrighted material and if Reaper wished to distribute them, they would and otherwise, they are obligated to protect their IP, so there should not be any unauthorized scans out there on the internet. IIRC, Anne Foerster wrote the original instructions for the LTPK3 NMM kit - she can be found every weekday morning (11:30am central) painting on Reaper's twitch channel where she covers a variety of topics as she paints a variety of Reaper minis - all episodes are archived and uploaded to Reaper's youtube channel, the playlist for her show is here: RTB Pro Tips! Specifically, if you search directly on youtube with the search term "reaper miniatures nmm" you should pull up a series of her painting NMM silver on the show, as well as a couple of other videos. (You can also find Anne on her own twitch under the name PaintingBig and she also has a patreon where she teaches all sorts of mini painting subjects, including NMM.) Also on Reaper's youtube there is a playlist for all of the classes that were offered during RVE 2021, two of which cover NMM: Ian Markon - Heavy Metal Bootcamp Introduction to Non Metallic Metal and SENMM Sky Earth Non Metallic Metal - Ian Markon - Paint Along I know that your interest is specifically in the LTPK3 instructions, but Reaper's intention has always been to rewrite, reformat and rerelease all of the information contained within the original LTPK's, but I have no information for when new kits may be released so I hope maybe some of this information may be useful in the meantime.

Currently you do not need to do anything as the pledge manager for Base Boss is not done yet. It's going to be a couple of weeks and at that time it will be made clear what needs to be done. If you make a new account on the Bones 5 pledge manager, then you're just making it for that pledge manager. Remember that Reaper builds their own pledge managers, they don't partner with another company like backerkit. I'm pretty sure that the base boss pledge manager will be its own page entirely and once it's up there will be further instructions. (Most likely it will require you to create a new account using the email address associated with your kickstarter account.)

Kickstarter Update #1: A BIG thank you to everyone~ Also, all things are possible 🙂 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/reaperbones5/base-boss-2-new-bases-and-base-top-inserts/posts/3431571

I regularly speak to Doug; he's doing fine.

It is doubtful that this is information that Reaper plans on making readily available as the instructions are a large part of the value in purchasing the kits.

Rhonda was playing around with some of the samples of the base toppers on her stream Beyond the Kit on twitch yesterday afternoon, here is the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1274697414

Friendly reminder that these sort of suggestions (which are great suggestions!) should be posted in the current Bones You'd Like to See thread here: https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/97930-bones-youd-like-to-see-thread-5/ as that is the thread that is used to compile such ideas that Reaper actively reviews. While they do make note of ideas that they like that they see posted elsewhere, your suggestions are far more visible when posted in that thread.

These figures can be found in the previews section waiting for re-release under their new sku numbers, as indicated above by Tasine (who is a Reaper employee). Sister Hazel, specifically, is slated to become 04075 and Brother Lazarus will be 04082. They are being moved to Bones USA, not removed from the catalogue. Listed below their names on the Preview section, you can see that there is a date of 2/7/2022 (for these 2 specific figures, other figures may have a different release date,) which indicates their expected re-release in Bones USA. More information on the re-releasing of the Dungeon Dwellers line into Bones USA is linked on the main page, or can be found here: https://www.reapermini.com/bonesusa Specifically this section covers the figures being asked about: Please go to the above link and read the page fully, I think this will help to explain the changes y'all have noticed. This same information was also sent out in the January 2022 newsletter, which Jon posted in its entirety here: https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/97920-january-newsletter-1172022/

Kwindy did a dumb and merged the whole topic like a noob

If you're not signed up for the Reaper Newsletter (which you SHOULD BE - if you're not, go to reapermini.com and scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and on the right side you will see a "Newsletter Sign Up" box where you enter your email address to subscribe!) then you may have missed this little snippet about Base Boss 2!

As Moonglow said @carlocarlo, Reaper Miniatures produces gaming miniatures and paint. You're welcome here, but we won't be able to solve any of your audio issues nor commiserate about the impossibility of software that Reaper Miniatures does not make. I believe the forum you may have meant to post on is this one: https://forum.cockos.com/forumdisplay.php?f=20

I went all in on the first one and can confirm that the people in the comment section who are complaining about the models that they received were definitely people who are not familiar with the hobby and didn't understand what they were ordering. The pieces that I received are absolutely beautiful, top tier resin that will require some minor clean-up. There are a lot of small, delicate pieces that will require gentle care with prep and assembly; they're not beginner models by any means, but they are absolutely gorgeous. I'm extremely pleased with them, and I will definitely be backing this second kickstarter. I'm going to go leave a similar comment on the previous kickstarter page because I hadn't realized they were getting broccoli on over there.

No Reaper ToolBox stream this morning - Anne will be back tomorrow!
