Absolutely LOVE the minis!!! The dragon wrapping the gift is awesome. great job once again Reaper!

Hurray for Metal!!!! I want this guy too. It has been a long wait.

Hahaha, actually, that would be one of those Reaper Secrets that would be interesting to know. :)

I like this mini! Cannot wait to get it and the rest of the stuff in the banquet bags!! See you all at Reapercon (those who can make it)

Dear Reaper, I have been wondering about something related to Sophie. Since she is the mascot of Reaper, shouldn't she have specs or something that you know to expect when you see her? Most companies have very specific specifications with their mascot for drawings or images etc. For instance, a succubus, usually has bat or demon like wings and dresses very seductively as is her nature. Sophie seems to have sortof changed rather drastically here and there recently. I am not trying to say anything about this years western version or last years, it's just that you get used to seeing certain things in common with Sophie and then those things change. I personally prefer the demon-like wings, and being a bit more flirty. This is completely my opinion and a question i have been wanting to ask since last year. Thank you, Xanderhook

Hey everyone. It's REAPERCON TIME!!!! Just wanted to share the same helpful advice i got in years past that is so true. Don;t overload your schedule with classes. It sounds like a great idea initially, but there is so much going on, so many classes and so little time between them that it turns into information overload and you will forget over half the info before you leave. Pace yourself. Usually 2 classes a day max is good. Remember, there is always next year to grab classes you miss this year. That being said, i am sure first timers will blow this warning off,, then at the end of the con be wondering why they spent so much money for all those classes they cannot remember. But then i can say at least that I tried to help. :) Game on, Paint on and hope to see everyone there this year!! Xanderhook

My kingdom for more Gnome casters in robes. Actually, more Gnomes period.

I forgot and am too lazy to look, whats the date set for next years RCon? (2014) For some reason, i have written down April 17-20th but have a ? at the end of that line.

Looking at the list of artists they say are working with them, it may be possible that they are going to use the same or a similar model. Who knows.

It just took me off guard because other companies have done just that, stolen miniature ideas for their kickstarter without asking permission. That's why i wanted to mention it here, make sure Reaper knew about it.

Thats what it looks like. they show a concept art picture.. same pose, look, weapon... everything.

I was looking at the Frog God Games Tome of Horrors Miniatures kickstarter and i saw one mini in particular that... i already own, cause it's a Reaper. On the http://kck.st/18mU7hF site, the Dark Creeper is the exact same as http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/dark%20creeper/latest/02886. It look's like they used the Reaper miniature version for their concept art. Was Reaper already aware of this?

Yep, its a setup!!!! :) So, how many groups are interested so far? SO far i have heard that the Colorado Paint group, Reaper Paint Club, possibly a group from NY and Seattle are interested and maybe Rhonda Benders group in TN? I am trying to keep a tally so we know how much space may be needed since next year it looks like the COn will be at the Hotel instead of Reaper's HQ. Thanks and THROW SOME PAINT and HAVE FUN!!! We had a blast with the gruop submission this year. We did not care about medals, quality of each persons paint... we just had fun. AND it continued to grow until the night before the judging!!!

I agree with you completely Heisler. This will also open up the category to soem very interesting entries. I will modify the main rules.

One thing i have heard several times from different painters at ReaperCon and at Paint Club is a wish for a purchasable set of paints that were only available at certain events. There have been some incredible colors released as a "one time only" paint, then years later, you run out, it dries, is "borrowed", or you were unable to attend that event... And you cannot replace it. What type of miniature or paint bottle sacrifice can we offer to those who could make this possible to..... make this possible? Just an idea.
