Reaper User Vaitalla Posted December 19, 2013 Reaper User Share Posted December 19, 2013 For those considering the painting DVD bundle, I noticed that someone wasn't sure who taught the first one. That would be me, actually, and world-class painter Jen Haley. Though I was Reaper's full-time on-staff painter from 2003 to 2011 (and am still a Reaper-ite--I just run the paint department now!) we have always been friendly with Dark Sword and I received permission to work on that DVD for them a couple years back. Jen and I had a great time shooting it and yes, it is both of us talking back and forth, so you get some different ideas from both sides of the fence about techniques and supplies. If you'd considered picking up these DVD's before, this is really a great deal on the set to get them at 50% off on the bundle. Otherwise…on-topic, my husband supported the Kickstarter of course, and we are getting Core, Verocithrax (who has always been one of my favorites), two DDS's, Mashaf, Narthrax…okay I like dragons. Especially Julie Guthrie-sculpted dragons... Ummm I forget the rest. There was a lot. And yes, we could have waited, since I'm a Reaper employee. But where's the fun in that?!? 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniCannuck Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I've owned these DVDs for awhile now and can say that the really helped me understand the techniques for miniature painting. I am a bit of a perfectionist and can often get myself so worked up about a project that I avoid starting it. Ann and Jen's DVD really brought home the idea that anything you do to the mini can be fixed and that sometimes things need to look "ugly" at first before they blossom into a work that you are proud of. Their banter was a lot of fun too! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 FWIW, I've heard nothing but good things about Anne and Jen's DVD. Which is why I upped my pledge for it. That high-pitched screeching you hear is my wallet wailing in pain. That's OK, though, I never liked it all that much anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontfear Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 you have to do something to make watching paint dry interesting. That is one reason why these DVDs are superior to youtube tutorials that pop up everywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klarg1 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I'm pretty sure I'll get the DVD's. The real question is how badly I want the core expansions, vs. how much I would be willing to wait for these Bones to hit retail so I can pick and choose individual bits. (And how badly I really need a second DDS2. ) It turns out that the answer is "badly enough": 2013 Core Set x1 Narthrax Dragon x1 Lords of Darkness x1 Mouslings x1 Unleash the Kraken! x1 Oh, Rats! x1 Heroes and Villains x2 Gelatinous Cube x2 Water Elementals x1 Dungeon Decor x1 Blightfang Dragon x1 Devils x1 Cinder Dragon x1 Master Series Paint Set x1 Verocithrax Dragon x1 Expansion Set 1 x1 Bag 'O Bases x1 Master Series Paint Set 2 x1 Expansion Set 2 x1 Mister Bones x1 Numenera Monsters x1 Bag O' Bases Medium x1 Bag O' Bases Large x1 Mashaaf, Great Old One x1 Troll Slayer Sophie x1 Khanjira, the World Breaker x1 Dragons Don't Share x2 Thank You Set x1 Cadirith x1 Dark Sword Painting DVD Bundle x1 I don't even know where I am going to put all this stuff. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I just locked in my pledge today. This is what I got: 2013 Core Set x1Mister Bones x1Lords of Darkness x1Mouslings x1Water Elementals x1Blightfang Dragon x1Expansion Set 1 x1Troll Slayer Sophie x1 This is how it breaks down - The Mouslings are for a friend (he's our GM for one of our games. The mouslings are actually for his sister, who is also a friend of mine.) The extra Sophie and Mr Bones are for another friend. The Water Elementals are for me, just for me, muahahah! The rest of it is going to be split between me and yet another friend - I was going to pick up Blightfang for myself, but then he said he'd split it - he's attached to the Silver Dragon from Expansion Set 1, and that will mean one big dragon each. Incidentally, I added the Water Elementals when I saw the sculpt. The Lords of Darkness were another add, that was from my friend who's splitting it with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted December 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) My teen boy, tween boy, and I got the following: 2013 Core Set x1Dungeon Monsters x2Gnolls & Bugbears x1Shambling Dead x1Bully for You x1Swamp Things x1Under the Sea x1Mister Bones x1Narthrax Dragon x3Mouslings x1Unleash the Kraken! x3Gelatinous Cube x2Water Elementals x3Hill Giants x1Dungeon Decor x2Blightfang Dragon x3Expansion Set 1 x2Expansion Set 2 x1Numenera Monsters x1Mashaaf, Great Old One x1Burrowing Horrow x2Basilisk x3Khanjira, the World Breaker x1Dragons Don't Share x2Nathavarr, Dragon x1Thank You Set x2 I was quite proud of the boys as they saved money for a long time and did extra jobs, etc to be able to take part. I love it when they set goals and work for it. Of course afterward my 10-year old asked, "So will they be here by Christmas?" I said, "Yes, next year." He replied, shocked, "But I'll be eleven by then!" As if I was asking him to wait half his life away for this.

Moderator Chaoswolf Posted December 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 26, 2013 I'm waiting 'till the bitter end to do my locking. Still amassing holiday moneys towards possibly adding more versus using it for possible real life things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_the_Technicoloured Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Not nearly as much for me this time round (curse the concept of money and the rise in price of posting things) but a few good bit that I had to pick up Thank You x1 Narthrax Dragon x1 Unleash the Kraken! x1 Hill Giants x1 Mashaaf, Great Old One x1 and who knows I may well be able to get some of the rest later at retail or from ebay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
