Bones Kickstarter #2 Discussion

[smokingwreckage]

The interesting thing about Bobby Jackson is that he seems to have changed his style several times over the last 10 or so years. I'm interested to see where he'll go with Sophie... concept-to-sculpt wise, I mean.

99% of people who buy the translucents won't paint them.

True.

 

 

 

HEY EVERYBODY!!! I'M A 1%-ER!!!!

 

 

How much do you need to cover to qualify?

 

I've painted a Grave Wraith, but most of the creature itself was left untouched.

I'm gonna drybrush black onto that shadowhound & give him white teeth & red eyes. Just enough purple to make him look unworldly.

 

Provided the purples dark - if it's the same shade as the green, I think it'll be a bit too bright for a hellbeast...

 

I take the "Smokey Purple" to mean a darker colour. Like "Dark Elf Skin" maybe?

Me too. I painted the base, hit the body with some ink, and highlighted inside the hood and...hell...

I saw the painted Kargir Beast Rider from Jason Weibe. I wonder if it will make it into the kickstarter? I wonder if it's metal or Bones? Both? Just Bones?

Any minis on mounts, especially if it is not a horse, would be exciting. The dwarf bear riders in Expansion 3 is great.

Whoa, just catching up: Holy Cow, that Sophie art is awesome. I can't wait to see the sculpt. Definitely not trading her away this year (last year trading metal for $25 extra in the pot was just too good a deal to pass up).

Look at my Beastrider? post in the Warlord section, and dream big.

Depends on whether you're a Sophie-holic or not. I kept mine, and haven't looked back.

It's probably to much to hope for, but a dragonrider, with say..a lance...

 

Yeah, that would be awesome for a certain campaign setting put out by some Wizards by a Sea...

As a Reaper noob, what is the deal with Sophie, is this a mascot or based on a actual person at reaper?

 

p.s. My "Warlord Second Edition" book just arrived today so more Warlord minis that fit in that books factions would be much enjoyed.

Introductions are in order: Sophie(s).

I'm not a Sophie-holic; but this one just looks absolutely stellar; she's gonna get painted up right quick when I get my shipment!

[Sabith]

I'll take a Sophie, sure. But I ain't becomin' no collector! That way lies madness.

 

Edit: Also, pledge totals are steadily increasing by the hour. Is it happening? Is it starting!? The Great Crescendo!?

Thats not even all of them....There is this one thats OOP that I wish reaper could bring back...I'll have to see if I can find a pic

 

EDIT:

 

Its a 54mm I think though...but this would be cool to have a smaller version

That new demon slayer sophie is pretty darn cool looking. Fingers crossed that the mini lives up to the artwork.

 

Reaper Sculptors fight over who gets to go through Talin's concept artwork first. I'm sure Bobby will do a killer job on Sophie, no worries.

 

Than they crank out a prototype in a day? That big worm thing when from art to model photo in about 24 hours.

 

Potentially, it depends on the sculptor and what they are asked to do. I wouldn't expect Bobbie to turn out the green for Sophie in 24 hours, but potentially by Saturday.
