papercut Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 No Bones Dinos? No problem! Go pick up the cheapest crappiest plastic dinosaurs you can get and give a couple coats of gesso: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eilif Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hilarious! I'm going to take my white gesso and make all my miniatures Bones! In all seriousness, cheap dinos can be usefull. Here's one that made an appearance in our SBH campagn two weeks ago and then wound up in a tutorial I wrote about the terrain. http://chicagoskirmish.blogspot.com/2012/08/terrain-tutorial-caverns-and-rocks-fast.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Bedlam Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Call me a suckup, but I like the Hobby-Q dinos better. They keep giving me free ones at ReaperCon, and now they're convincing me to actually buy some. They look less antiquated and lizardy than most toy ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angorak Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Bones... bendy plastic minis.....bleh. I'll keep my addiction to metal miniatures and when everyone stops producing them I quess I've have to go to rehab cuz I'm not interested. Sorry Reaper...you make some good mini's but if they are made in that plastic then you've lost me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingwreckage Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 So buy the ones that aren't ;) I'm a metal snob of many years standing, but kids tend to change your perspective on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buglips*the*goblin Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 It's not so bad Angorak. Heck, they even let you keep the little piece of your brain that they take out. - Buglips, metal snob Boneslover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eilif Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The Hobby q ones are definitely better. Better sculpts and better color schemes. Either they, or the cheapo dollar tree ones are perferrable to me than metal figs. Dinos get such rare use in our games that it makes no sense for me to spend my limited hobby $ on metal dinos when there are so many more-usefull figs that will get more use.

I wasn't just speaking to Dino minis in plastic i was speaking to Bones in general. I actually haven't bought any Reaper in over a year and have painted nary a one in as much a time. They just don't fit into the TTG's I play right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papercut Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah Collect A is pretty cool, i think their German competitor Schleich produces a better product, but the difference is not too big. Plus free is always preferable! They both beat the hell out of my crappo store junk (but actually after the gesso was applied the sculpt seemed much nicer).

smokingwreckage Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Schleich does some nice stuff. My daughter has a huge stash of Schleich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
