Bones Kickstarter #2 Discussion

[Last Knight]

Just over five hundred to go...

We need 1,894. Not 1,884.

I also have two of her!

 

But maybe not for much longer!

[Shakandara]

I would expect the artists to be there, showcasing their creations - both sculpts and painted models. We will have some of the new model out and avialable for in-person viewing. We will have painting for attendees, and food and Ron and myself at computers trying to manage the crazy, all while the tallies are counted on the big screens for everybody to watch! There is going to be room for board or card games, if you like, and generally just a fun day of hanging out

 

Can we have a little table space if anyone wants to play some Warlord? I'll bring a couple armies with me (and probably some DeepWars stuff too).

Great figures, also love to see them in bones but all 3 are on one foot, leaning forward and quite top heavy. The poses may need to change or be given extra support to work in bones.

Oooh, I quite like them both.

 

Sadly, it'll have to wait until the Kickstarter madness is over. I'm not made of money, and you never know what will pop up in Bones between now and the end of the drive.

Well I think the first one would be ok beccause its its got a pretty large base...but the last two I would agree.....I just really want a succubus with two scimitars and heavy armor...I'd mod one if I was any good at it...need more practice.

Good eye. My Merisiel refuses to stand vertical, despite being tortured at length in the boiling vats.

 

10k to reveal. The ticker moved far faster today than I thought it would. I figured we'd need to wait until Friday for a reveal.

Succubi and heavy armor? Nonsense. What's the point of the former if they wear the latter?

Because I think outside the "box" :P

Well maybe, but what's wrong with just jamming some wings on http://www.reapermini.com/FigureFinder#detail/14128? (granted you can't see her face...but you get my point). Wing-a-ling ladies is one thing, but succubus is another. The latter requires far more skin (although Figure Finder seems to indicate that you can have a covered midriff or two swords, but not both).

 

Remember, succubi are in it for fun, so if you're looking for "Reasonably Armored Female Who Happens To Also Have Wings" then there's no point in having a succubus. </pedant>

 

I admit that finding reasonably armored women who aren't also dwarves can be a struggle. I think there's only a few ladies in Bonesium that don't have bare bellies and basketball racks. I seem to recall an article that pointed out that this problem was (is?) especially rampant in the miniatures industry.

 

It'd be sweet to have a few more models like the Grey Maidens that are actually properly attired for their profession. Off the top of my head Lady Thor is the only Bones female Fighter/Warrior archetype that I can think of that has proper armor. That Dragon Huntress might too...

 

Edit: There's actually quite a few!....I should really paint some of these...

Nope. That first one had to be based on a CAV base in metal. Very tippy. She would need a base enlargement.

Because as i said im not very good at Modding...plus the one succubus does have two swords and armor...half plate which is fine...as far as it being "proper armor" thats not femmed up to look like a pin up. I admit I do favor the more realistic look but Im ok with the fantasy too. So its not as huge a deal to me if she has bikini armor half plate....

Well poo

[buglips*the*goblin]

I don't like to base, so I only do it when necessary. Had to do it both times. She could work as a Bones, but she'd need more base.

There are others that kind of fit your description, but these seemed the most clear cut.

Bane of Hoomanity, I found a picture of the LE prototype for that hell princess and the base was enlarged for it. It's elongated along the axis of her knife arm. That seems like it might be sufficient.

Yea I saw those as I went back through Fig Finder. The second one you linked is the one I habitually call Lady Thor, and Martin's paint job on the metal doesn't help :). She's getting a red cape for sure. I might smunch up some GS and make a crappy hammer out of the sword too.
