Kickstarter Discussion Thread

[Shakandara]

I'm curious, do the Bones plastics paint any easier than metal?

 

There are a couple of threads around on the forum (some with links to external sites as well) with reviews of painting the Bones figures. Almost universally, people have loved how they take paint, particularly for the reason Mike just mentioned - no primering necessary.

 

I'd encourage you to search for those threads if you want to read more, rather than get it from me 2nd hand.

Just looking forward to having a stack of minis to practice on again :).

I went in for Vampire level, too. One thing's for sure, it's a huge motivation to get some of the bazillion unpainted mini's painted, before they start to arrive.

New to the Reaper boards, but not new to Reaper, I've been painting them since they came out. I'm excited to participate in the kickstarter!

Welcome to the boards. I hope you'll stay and share with us.

I have a question about the Sophie collection. It says all the previous ReaperCon Sophies are in the set, but I did not see the 2009 Sophie (01509) in the picture. Is it included?

[MonkeySloth]

Whelp time to see what the next goal is.

That was an error when we shot the picture and because of our mistake it will include both!

Is there a list of the Sophies that are included in the boxed set for the pledge of $110?

[ObsidianCrane]

I've painted Bones models with Reaper paint and GW paint straight to plastic with no real problems.

 

Basically any acrylic paint will work fine IMO, but Reaper are only obliged to test and promote their paints and most regulars here use Reaper paint primarily.

 

(I have shots of my Kobolds in the Show Off forum area here where all the browns are GW paint, on my blog is the Ogre Chieften where the only Reaper paint is Ancient Bronze)

Not that I know of, but check out the Limited Editions section of the catalog and it will be all the 25mm Sophies for sure.
