Bones You'd Like to See, thread #2

[Evilhalfling]

Town Guards

More animals - hyenas, snakes, centipedes, boars, giant weasels, bears and wolves

Dretch and other lesser demons

ratfolk

Pack Mule

Elemental humanoids (genasi or Suli)

[Bender]

Pathfinder Adventure Path Kits.

Coordinated with Paizo, release kits containing major NPCs and monsters from any given adventure path.

So Rise of the Runelords 1 would have Tsuto, a few Goblins, Ameiko, a few Sinspawn, and Nualia for ~$25-$30.

RotRL 2 would have the Skinsaw Man, a few cultists, Justice Ironbriar and Shalelu, etc.

RotRL 3 would have the Hookmaw ogres, might be a bit pricier due to size of minis.

 

I'll add another vote for RotRL sets :)

This. Oh my gosh, this.

I would emphasize my desire for this with an expletive, but the forum would just change it to something more polite. +2

Yes, YES, yes, and yes.

That's a tricky one. It looks very cool, I'd probably pick one up if it were in bones, and the enthusiastic responses to your post show there are others who would do the same. However, I can't imagine it ever having more than a very marginal appeal to gamers. Historical gamers wouldn't be interested in the fantasy elements, and fantasy gamers tend to avoid any reference to gunpower like the plague (this is changing with Pathfinder though). I think this would be a hard sell in bones, because Reaper needs to be sure they can recoup mold costs which are the prohibitive factor for bones.

 

I'd love to see one painted, but the fact there isn't a painted version I could find anywhere for a mini released in '06 seems to confirm my theory this would be a hard sell. It is a shame though, you know it would look fantastic painted up on a shelf or a gaming table. It's a beautiful sculpture for sure.

[unidentifiable]

Given today's announcement...

 

Numenera Bones. :3

I've wanted this beauty for a while, but it's heavy, darn heavy. And I tend to avoid heavy minis because of transport issues. (I found it at my LGS, so I've had the pleasure of being able to look at it and hold it). Ideally you'd have more than one, at least four I would say. But at $20 in metal, and the weight factor, well, I'd rather get a dragon or a giant.

 

So, Please make the awesome dragon cannon in Bones!

Actually, I think tabletop wargamers would love this. Most wargames have at least one faction who uses gunpowder, and a Bones mini would be cheaper than most "name brand" plastics. It also looks much, much better than some boring historical cannon.

 

Off the top of my head:

-Warhammer Fantasy: Empire, Dwarfs, Chaos, Chaos Dwarfs.

-Warmachine: (I'm not that familiar with them, but it is a steampunk setting with cannons.)

-Mantic: Kings of War

 

It would also work as part of thematic terrain, as objectives or for fortifications. Some Warhammer 40k armies could even use it "thematically."

I would like to add my vote to the mounts. Both regular horse ones, and irregular ones such as:

 

Goblins on dogs

Kobolds on toads/lizards (as mentioned above)

Druids on toads, bears and other animals

03264: Roderic Ambermead and Glitter, Halfling on Dragon

03000: Kyra & Lavarath

[captenglish]

Any of the metal pirates. I would also like to see most of them enlarged to 54mm (for those of us that are painters and not gamers, not to mention failing eyesight), with bones it should be doable!

[rajzwaibel]

With the rerelease of many of the old AD&D adventures, and resurgence of the OSR, I'd love to see IP friendly versions of:

 

Aspis Drone

Roper

 

and then also goblin wolf riders.

[kay13]

To be honest, at this point in time the bones I most want to see are MINE.

The tarrasque has been mentioned (I'll add my vote for it, too), but a few Godzilla-like giant monsters in general would be nice. Cthulhu was a good start.
