Spoon! can't be topped, but here are a few to look at:

There's also:

 

WHEEEEEEEEEEEATON!!!

 

I am a leaf on the wind.

 

I am the terror that flaps in the night. ;)

Save travels LK!

[dispatchdave]

 

Time for another digest, I think, before things get too crazy (though, given that it's Sunday, the Reaperpeeps have been pretty quiet).

 

EULALIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

 

(I'm running out of ideas for battle cries )

@Claus - we do two reveals at a time - we have noticed that projects that post too many reveals all at once *never* reach all displayed goals. The Next Core Reveal, As well as the next Expansion Set Reveals will happen in due course.

We know a lot of people want *all* the reveals now (or at least one active goal for every type of reward), but that is not in the cards at this time.

Reaper should finally find some EU distr to cut costs for backers, to lure more of them with cheaper shipping costs and no VAT/etc

Bryan Stiltz about 5 hours ago

@Hubert - We appreciate that, but have found that as complex as our structure is, it is not possible - Nobody wants to handle orders for us with hundreds of permutations and thousands of orders, in a manner that is *any* cheaper at all than us doing it ourselves. What you'd save in postage, we'd have to charge as a "brokerage fee" so we could pay the fulfillment house.

 

Bryan Stiltz about 5 hours ago

@Hubert - you and I have discussed this before. I know you really think it's a great idea, but we're telling you that it only looks like that from the outside. We 100% get what you;re saying, but I;m asking to understand the we have people whose JOB it is to figure out these plans and contracts, and they say it's a bad idea.

Will there be a later option either in the KS or at retail to buy additional foam trays for the figure case offered as an add-on?

Bryan Stiltz about 5 hours ago

@googoober - Very likely.

Hey, I'm always on lurking in the shadows. Like a Dark Creeper. Or a Dark Stalker. ;)

 

Ron Hawkins about 7 hours ago

Nameless - time to let you off the hook. Not a DC or DS. Sorry...

Although if this thing takes off like a rocket, we may have to start throwing in everything but the kitchen sink...

Alan about 15 hours ago

@Talin -- So ... a yeti?

 

Izzy "Talin" Collier about 15 hours ago

@Alan: I can neither confirm nor deny...

(Although I do want to do an "Epic Krampus" figure at some point. I really do.)

Coralline Algae about 16 hours ago

Wait, so you're saying that even at this point new drawings can be added to this kickstarter's list of options? Hello ogre monk.

 

Izzy "Talin" Collier about 15 hours ago

@Coralline: Well, it really depends on how big this goes vs. how many stretch goals Reaper has up their sleeve already (although Reaper is trying to have as much ready to go out the door by end of project as humanly possible). ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~

Izzy "Talin" Collier about 16 hours ago

@Coralline: Yep, I was here, just not typing - I'm working on a re-imagining of a classic character/monster/critter that I was hoping to get in this KS... But of course, my first version of him/her/it left Ron cold, so in the trash it went, and back to the drawing board I went.

Talae about 16 hours ago

@Dan, I would love to see some dinosaurs on that list. Reaper has some awesome ones.

 

Izzy "Talin" Collier about 16 hours ago

@Talae: The problem with dinosaurs is that it's usually pretty easy to find plastic dinosuars that are relatively cheap, dinosaur-shaped, and useable scale-wise for gaming. As much as I love dinos (and boy, do I ever), they just wouldn't likely sell well enough to justify carrying them. :(

Huzzah!

--OneBoot :D

Wait, where that Eulalia comes from and why is the same name a friend have? :D

 

Eulalia (IIRC) is the battle cry of the Badger Lords from Jacques' Redwall series.

[Suden]

And I just thought Eula was just the thing I ignored every time I installed something on my computer.

[ub3r_n3rd]

I really want to see the sculpt of Mashaaf before I kick in the extra $ to buy her. She looks pretty cool from the artwork, but I'll be able to tell for sure whether or not I want her in my order when they get the actual sculpt done and put up pics.

 

It's really nice to see us up over the $2m mark right now, with 5 days left we in the community also need to get the word out to our friends and get the word out on social media. I've been blasting out tweets every day to try to drum up even more support.

Favorite RP experiences

 

Yes some of mine have come with fully painted dungeons and PC's (something I like to provide myself when I run games), but my most favorite was playing a non-traditional character, A talking Warg. I played him as a big lovable sheep dog until someone threatened the party and then it was all hackles raised and GRRR... My goblins... Grrrrr....

[naponatom]

 

Ah. Totally understand. Good luck, and safe...um...driving? Is that what you do on a boat?

Sometimes, but not lately; these days, I mostly haul and heave. And make sure nobody's set the ship on fire.

 

Is Buglips going along?

@Reaper - Thanks for the paint sets. The bonus bases and Mr Bones are a nice treat. Hopefully the actual miniature core set reveals will start picking up again as there has been 5 paid options other than the bonus bases since Under the Sea. I'm a fan of your grouped minis and eagerly await some more - love your Lords of Darkness set! At this rate I'm not sure there'll even be 180 minis in the core set ;(

[LordJosh]

So, reaper sells 1" square bases; do they have similar 2" square bases in plastic (I didn't find any in plastic, just metal)? If not, Lemme just say, I'd buy the hell outta some 2" square plastic bases if they were a trick card in the KS...


Similarly with 3" square plastic bases...

Thanks to James for this one. Safe trip, LK!

Wow. Sir Forscale can really take a beating.

They have metal 2" square bases:

http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/base%202%22/sku-down/74014

 

They also have plastic (or metal) 40mm square bases, which are a bit smaller, but serviceable for many large critters:

http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/base/latest/74024

 

My cursory search did not reveal a square, plastic, 2" base.

 

Edit: I realized that you already found the metal bases, so i crossed that item off my list.

Did we ever find out what the "hungry and not hungry" pairs were?

[Magnus Mercury]

I think they confirmed that the Angels of Sorrow were one of the pairs...

[Loim]

I wonder if there is any chance the two lost elves will make it into this KS?
