Hello, I'm new to the forums, and to collecting and painting minis in general. I missed the first KS, but I plan on getting in on this one. I have a quick question. What's the purpose of refreshing the KS page all the time?

 

Thank you

 

 

Refresh was to watch the total skyrocket, see if anything new was added and to update the torrent of comments. It is addicting to watch and update all of the time. This is an event and you don't want to miss anything.

from what I can gather the first ks was so popular that it pretty much broke the kickstarter forcing people to f5 (refresh) the page all the time to get a more accurate picture of where they were currently at. I missed the first KS my self but I am super excited about the next one.

madness.

 

 

OK, so the real reason is that we all got very caught up in watching the dollar total rise, and new stretch goals unlock. It is true that we could all just wait for the update email to reach us, but we were all just way too caught up in the excitement to be patient ::):. I expect this time to be the same.

Welcome to the boards Reversed. The answer is pretty much we can't wait for the page to update itself. You want to keep up on all the new info so you keep F5ing to see the newest comments and watch the totals go up. It's crazy addictive. Just wait!

Note also that we answered your question four times in less than 10 minutes. If that seems insane, just wait 24 hours, and watch.

This time around I have little reservation about pledging the full amount, getting all the extras that I like and hopefully paint sets and a couple of mini cases (because I am lazy and now have many many miniatures)

Earmarked ~$400 for this... Probably not something I should have done with two holidays planned, a ps4 on order and big foam cutting table coming.

Next goal, save some money and then let go of it to buy a 3D printer r_r.

 

fwiw, The KS1 cases were a bust. The glue had problems, and the spaces to put the mini's in were too small. Since they were made by a third party, I'm guessing Reaper would use a different party, or not have cases at all. In any (ahem) case, ask questions about the cases before adding them on. I've noticed many KS projects have defects or compromises caused by a rushed schedule (eg. sculpts), and the cases are an example.

 

Myself, since Bones are less fragile than metals and paint stays on them better, I use an inexpensive plastic bead box from Michael's for the human-sized miniatures. I line them up with cotton squares, but am not sure if I really need them. http://www.cardinalenterprises.com/darice_storage_containers_3.htm

 

Hope the PS4 is for someone else, because you're gonna need a lot of time to paint that Vampire set...!

 

Consoles always are for other people really when it comes to me, I mainly play them when others are around. I got a launch edition pre-ordered at the right time from amazon and am loath to give it up at this point :P

 

Hmmm I will take your advice on the case, wish I still had my old GW cases from when I was a young man.

 

Damn I am looking forward to the new kickstarter though, may have to bludgeon a few friends into buying mini's :P... I may be the primary GM in the groups I run, but hey... If I can encourage someone to paint there own mini's or even just buy them, maybe they will donate some extras to me or become interested in learning how to GM themselves.

-goes back to the workshop to continue making detailed 3D terrain for the ungreatful gremlins-

I think they are going to have delivery be Dec 2014 and just have Santa bring them

Can we have Sophie in a Santa costume instead?

 

 

Is Bones the only minis project hat hasn't got a Twilight Knight yet? Twilight Sophie, anyone?

 

For the love of god, I certainly hope not! I like Sophie's hips just the way they are.

I would like a Twilight Sophie! :)

 

As far as f5'ing goes, it melted KS's servers so hard they implemented the new chat software. On the one hand, it's nice that you don't need to f5 (just click 'show new messages or whatever). On the other hand, who thought it was a good idea to remove the pages, there's no way I'm going to be able to skim the previous night's comments like last time.

 

 

So is the content of the KS still a state secret?

No, it's clowns.

 

Clownthulhu!
