Aard_Rinn 6453 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 So, Reaper... We were joking about this during the KS, but Amazon seems to think it's srs bisnus. So, when can we expect to get out minis by drone? KSIII? KSIV? Not V, surely? I DEMAND ORBITAL MINIS AT MY DOOR! I'll even be nice and give you more than a half-hour, since Texas is pretty far away... http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/amazon-prime-air-delivery-drones-arrive-early-2015/story?id=21064960 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MissMelons 32741 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 How long until the first delivery drone gets shot down and looted? Minutes or seconds? If it's carrying miniatures, I'll be outside with a newly acquired air rifle or something. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aard_Rinn 6453 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) I'm gonna get a slightly larger drone, and catch the little Reaper drones as they leave the factory. I'll loot the minis, and get a cool 'copter in the bargain! I wonder if DDSII would fit in a drone... pewter probably would take a whole fleet, if you wanted more than a dosen or two. And the pewter dragons... I wonder if the high heights would spoil paints? Might need a heated box... Or a insulated foam one with a hot water bottle! Ooo, you could send us a complementary coffee with our paints! Edited December 3, 2013 by Aard_Rinn 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darsc Zacal 46031 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 A sky full of minis... It's like a dream come true. Of course it's all fun and games and miniatures until Skynet takes control of the drones and we all end up having to battle Terminators to get our minis. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TGP 60383 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 Waterstone's response to Amazon: http://www.waterstones.com/blog/2013/12/introducing-o-w-l-s/ Given that the OP was pondering some future Reaper version of aerial delivery you would think it might involve Harpies, Winged Gargoyles or... ...Succubi? 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShadowRaven 54481 Report post Posted December 3, 2013 the Owl's will win. Once the rapid animal rights activists get involved, the horrors they shall unleash upon the drones will make Apocalypse Now feel like Disney's "beauty and the beast" 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
