Bones You'd Like To See

[tecarr]

I like the fire elementals in clear red-orange plastic. I'd like to see a subset of the bones line that features clear-ish models:

 

* Water elementals, etc. in blue;

* Ghosts in pale blue or green, (I think about building up a base with a small led (for the glowing));

* Chronoscape "flaming skeleton biker" in clear or red-orange;

* Chronoscape "Space Teleportation Ring" in blue plastic with puddle;

* Green fantasy Gelatinous Cube - bonus points if you embed another figure's remains/treasure inside;

 

If the clear/tinted plastic will take paint like the bones plastic, these open the door for a lot of neat options that you never would have with metal.

 

Thanks!

Bones needs more Warlord grunts, like Kargir is getting at the moment. Take Crusaders for example; we've got Gerard, Finari, Halbarad and the Templar knight that I can think of off the top of my head. Add in an Ivy Crown archer, an Unforgiven/Ironspine and another leader and you've got instant affordable starter set.

I would love to see a skeletal mammoth. I know Grenadier did one that I never got my paws on, and RP as well as others probably have as well, but I think it would be perfect for Bones.

 

And Demi-human undead.

+1 on the demi-human undead

Animals! Large dogs and cats, wolves, bears, eagles, etc.

actually, I can see WL line (especially grunts) coming in "Bones" as a completely separate kickstarter project

I don't know how well that one would work. If someone only wants one faction, they're only going to want to pledge for that one. There might not be enough interest in each faction to sustain a Kickstarter. Then again, the models are useful for generic fantasy too, it might do very well...

I know I would go in on a Kickstarter for Warlord line troops. The cheaper those become the more I can add diversity to units for other games. I have not tried Warlord as no one local that I know plays it but I have heard good things. And if the start up cost was a bit reduced I would certainly give it a go. I am planning to open a gaming/comics/hobby store in the next year so having games on the back burner like Warlord when something does not catch on is always a good thing. When I ran games at my previous store I tried to have a ton of stuff painted up before we even jumped in. It did not always work that way but when it did it was more successful. I know there are already some Warlord minis in this Kickstarter but I would love to see more, especially Nefsokar.

Yeah, I don't think a Warlord-only KS project would be able to draw the kind of numbers needed to generate the cash needed to support all (or even enough) of the factions to sustain itself. I'm really hoping to see more Warlord stuff crop up in the current KS project. Ideally, the sarcophagus with the horse shoes on it would be a cavalry lot with half a dozen or so different Warlord cavalry soldier models in it (IC Light Lancers, Zephyrs, Centaur warriors, Brood or Payanak, Darkrime Drakes, etc.). People could then use the KS swap thread to swap the ones they don't want with others for the faction they do want. Or, if they are someone like me, order extra sets of them via the addons to get all the factions. It would finally make cavalry-heavy lists possible without breaking the bank.

Great catch Vince! I didn't even notice the horse shoses. Here's to hoping for a cheap Crusader Cavalry force.

[Jordan Peacock]

I think a Warlord-only Kickstarter would only interest me if the Razig forces made a big appearance, and even then, I'd be more likely to consider it if there's a nice bit of breathing room between the end of this KS and the next one. After all, I'm not normally into fantasy, and I've just spent a lot of money in this KS on mostly-fantasy stuff. Warlord would represent another KS where, even if Razig & Co. made an appearance, it would naturally consist of MOSTLY other factions.

 

As it is, aren't there a couple of Warlord figures that have slipped into the current Bones project? After all, Duke Gerard (14068) has basically made it in as a "new" warrior sculpt (but minus that cool battle-standard thing on his back and with a weapon swap).

[orrinb1969]

I'd like more townsfolk. Blacksmith, shopkeeper, angry mob with pitchforks & torches.

 

large sized Pathfinder beasties (ogres, trolls, etc)

 

Linnorms

 

All the Pathfinder Iconics.

I know people are anxious for another KS to happen, but I'd like at least another year before that happens. We need a chance to build up our funds for it, after all... Otherwise it might not do so well.
