Wonderful textures on the dog and fabrics. I want to pet that mastiff. -
Definitely not a Jem'Hadar soldier. Impressive and inspiring paint job like everything you post here. You make quotidian outfits striking without overstating them. Thanks for sharing.

It looks otherworldly. -
DIY forever. Looks fantastic.

I have a lot of favorite models and this is one of them. He is righteous and glorious. Where did I put my Gate scroll?

Squad goals!

It's a neat effect. I am keeping my magical weapons far away. How many rounds to doff armor?

A distinguished paint job for something that usually appears in mobs and is dispatched quickly. I second the compliment on the shield, and the lighting on everything works just right. I've never wanted to get to know a skeleton before.

funded Reaper Bones 5: Enthusiasm and Commentary thread
Hikikomori replied to ladystorm's topic in Kickstarter
I thought this one would be the biggest Bones yet. I think Reaper offered enough models and value to get there, but maybe the timing or promotion was off. For periods they can't keep up like the first and last days I think they should be earlier and more prepared with the information that drives pledges like unlocks and graphics. I'm happy with what I ordered and saw and I'm impressed how much they juiced up the core set in the last 24 hours. I feel like everything that happened today should have been spread out starting from Reaper Live on Thursday night. I expect some hefty additions in the pledge manager. Congratulations Reaper on your campaign. -

You're right this has affected all the encounters. I didn't realise how cool the vampire ladies were until I saw them in this thread. The Kickstarter update doesn't do them justice, or most of the smaller figures in the encounters. -

I couldn't watch the stream. Has there been any word on the fan favorites? I expected goblin one-man band to go in there, but it's in the core set with a great backup group. Another patented Reaper tease? It's fine I'll have enough plastic either way. -
Smart lifestyle.

I have a clamp-on OttLite that I like quite a lot. This company is known for the color of the bulb which is suited to painting and taking pictures of the minis. It has a 5 diopter (1.75x) magnifier. The optical quality is really good for the price - not as big a factor at these scales but always relevant. It feels solid and has good adjustability. I do find myself leaning right onto the light at times which is probably a bad habit. The brand is popular/well-reviewed in quilting and cross-stitch circles. I didn't buy the cheaper no-name brand on Amazon and don't regret it. It would be okay if you went slightly higher in magnification but I think this is the most common choice. For clamp vs floor vs desk it depends on your painting setup. Clamp is most flexible but they all have roles.

Mossbeard might have been my top large model from Bones 4. What lively work you did on this piece. The base sets the scene and makes the model feel dynamic.
