So before I was asking about what to get/concern about spending half a grand on minis, but where I'm a reservist and... current events, I make more money as part of the Guard... so more money and less time let me indulge myself lol. Bones 5 Core Set x1 Valfuryx the Vile x1 Dragon Folk x1 Catapult x1 Dragon Bust x4 Aganzarax x1 Mammoth x1 Ballista x1 Trebuchet x1 Shavynra the Slayer x1 Krateryx, Shadow Dragon x1 Rune Wights x1 Arakoth the Ancient x1 Pirate Ship x1 Ildraedis the Devourer x1 Demonic Temptation Option x1 Yog-Sothoth x1 Kalanzar the Wicked x1 Kaiju Chaos Option x1 Chronoscope Expansion x1 New MSP Paint Colors x1 MSP: Foerster's Favorites x1 Fan Favorites x1 The dragons and the pirate ship are by far my favorites... I'm also running a steampunk campaign so the chronoscope fits too well for me to skip lol. I can use most of what's there, and the pirate ship will be their airship. It'll be a heck of set piece to have the ship fights on. Altogether quite pleased with it. The dragon busts are going on top of heavy weights and becoming bookends, one set for me, one set for my mother-in-law, who's a fan of old-style Tolkien dragons, but it's hard to find ones like that painted these days.

So a question for the group, since some of you have likely done this before. I am planning on getting 4 of the dragon busts, and using them to make bookends. What/where would you recommend getting material to put the bust onto that has weight enough to serve the purpose? I've found a site with 1pd lead ingots, but I wasn't sure that it would work since it's only an inch or so high.

Agreed. Maybe if during bones 6 we get a lot of people requesting them in the comments... idk. Until then maybe I can find them on ebay, or buy a full bones 3 core set

Oh, agreed. Do you think the packing issue may be sorted out if they did those sprues in Bones Black? There aren't a lot of US-friendly (shipping I mean) companies that have conversion bits.

Agreed. The reason I was looking for those stories were the mox of items. Between the armories of death, vice, and virtue and arsenal I had just about everything I would need at (presumably) a very good price. Ive looked into various weapon kits (mostly designed for 40k, since it has that bulky steampunk look) but as of now haven't found much that really fits.

Does anyone know when these will hit retail? We've seen quite a bit of bones 4, but not the weapon sprues from 3, and as someone who has party members with unique characters, the conversion potential there is great. Secondary question, do you think we will get stuff like the deadlands weapon sprue in bones soon/ever?

Nice! Glad to see I'm not the only one who uses delta. I remember seeing it in a forum about good low cost alternative paints for 40k minis. (Never really got into it). For myself, I use these minis almost exclusively for D&d, villains and the pc minis. I think that's where my problem is. 600$ is a great value if you paint them all, but I've literally painted 0 of bones 4, though I do have some plans for a few of them at least. I also have mythic battles pantheon, the dark souls board game, the bloodborne board game on the way, deep madness, and middara on the way. So I have so many minis, and most will never see use.

Wow! I didnt expect all the replies! Thank you for those who took the time. I think my issue is my other main hobby is gaming, and with steam and humble bundle I'm used to extremely cheap entertainment, and slow burn purchases. I get antsy spending more than 100 at any given time. I do recognize the difference in KS and retail. I would love a mal drakar or the artillery gun from earlier KS, but the retail price is more than I can afford... looking at the KS price makes me jealous. (Didnt know bones existed till about bones 4 time). For me, my wife and I are cheap dates, so the closest I could compare it to would be a cedar point trip. I'll have to add slowly though, you guys are right on that. I suppose compared to drugs and alcohol it's a good deal right? I need to get some paints as well, I'm using delta cermacoat right now but apparently the dedicated model paints are much better. Lastly, can someone let me in on the joke for buglips?

Heh. Rural area. I don't think theres anywhere nearby I could spend 100 on a night out. Never done it before at least.

So I have a problem. Just went through, I want all 5 chromatics, the pirate ship, brinewind, fan favorites, the core set, the siege weapons, and a few other things. That comes to about 600, I only did bones 4 beforehand and that hit 350. If I spend that much on miniatures, the adult half of my brain is going to torment me for months, even if I spread it out. What's a guy to do?

Its a fast paced souls-like (made by the same people) set in an ultra-gothic victorian city, starting with a lycanthrope theme and blending into lovecraftian nightmare as the story progresses.

Is gel or regular superglue better? Ive got two of the 3gram things of gorilla blue cap, but am unsure which to get for the rest of it.

The irony is I said that exact thing on the KS comments yesterday. May the odds be ever in your favor...

IT HAS POSTAGE IT WAS IN THE SPAM FOLDER WOOOT! ...also thank you

I am wave 6 with the frost giants, but i havent gotten an email stating its shopped. Is something wrong?
