ub3r_n3rd Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Got most of my Troll Outcast KS figures in today (sans the Butcher Demon they've told us they had problem with and are sending out on their dime soon).They also included a free figure in my order for helping pimp their campaign via social media and forums!Very nice looking! Will post pics in a bit along with my Ragnarok (Nocturna) figures I received a few days ago. TROLL OUTPOST FIGURES: Everything together- Close up of the ones to the left - Close up of the middle group - Bottom right - faceless demon's body Top right - faceless demon's wings and base NOCTURNA RAGNAROK FIGURES: Freya - Thor - Giant & Barbarian - Werewolf - Barbarian with a reaper figure for scale - Edited May 13, 2015 by ub3r_n3rd 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Got my Meirce bag of crap today and I'm somewhat disappointed.Yeah, not near as nice as the KD bags from that one black friday deal. I'll have pics tomorrow. Definitely enough that I don't regret snagging it, but I came sooo close to a few more or less complete bigger minis. I could sculpt some hair or spikes but missing the right arm (when I got three left arms), blah :) Biggest downside was the amount of large bodies with no parts, lots of weight that is mostly useless. Smaller minis can get chopped up or converted, but the big plugs of resin? I was hoping for a lot more smaller minis, I guess, and more weapons/heads/claws. It's mostly torsos in my packs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I can make me a couple of cool giants with the various parts but some things, mostly my Norse, will never get used--especially the blood maw body as there's really nothing useable on it without it's head (which takes up 90% of it's body). The Jotun body I could probably make into an unfinished statue pretty easily. Considering the price I think all but the Norse pack will pay for themselves. After looking through the giant bodies even the "bad" mold casts for Mierce are stuff you'd get from a lot of other casters (I've got many reaper with way worse mold slippage). I may need to order a few spare parts and have them added to my next KS shipment. Maybe we should do a thread in conversion to get ideas of what to do with all our stuff? I know there were several of us that bought these. Edited May 13, 2015 by MonkeySloth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Maybe you guys can compare what you got and swap a few parts back and forth... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redambrosia Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Today I went to Michael's and acquired two small wooden plaques and two green Styrofoam thingies. For Reasons 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegazus Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Today I went to Michael's and acquired two small wooden plaques and two green Styrofoam thingies. For Reasons You're getting ready to fashion some marker blocks for a jettison event? Cool! Be sure to try to use nonstatic materials as the foam sheds dust that'll zap straight to it. Makes it hard to clean the vehicle afterwards. Edited May 13, 2015 by Pegazus 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bathory Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Can you use the big "resin plugs" as bases? So the smaller mini has slayed and chopped up the monster and is standing on it's bloody dead torso? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 There are a couple bases, one looks like a flight base or something, a huge pillar of stone or ice. Anyway, here's the haul (linked for some nudity): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3667682/temp/20150512_222934.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3667682/temp/20150512_223733.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3667682/temp/20150512_224516.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3667682/temp/20150512_225602.jpg Mainly the Byzantii one I'm disappointed with (the 2nd one). The Ysian and Anglycynn are both pretty good, I can probably cobble a few minis together out of it and there's lots of swords, shields, etc for basing/accessorizing. The Brythoniad one has less useful stuff on its own, but some great dragony bits (though as I said before, wish it were more claws/heads than torsos and single wings). Here's an old shot of the KD grab bags for comparison. Way less stuff, but it's more complete minis. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3667682/Minis/Misc/KD_Grabbag1.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3667682/Minis/Misc/KD_Grabbag2.jpg Bonus: I just found those bags last night! Fell behind a book shelf. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsmiles Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just acquisitioned some...stuff. For the Summer Exchange. And some 1" square plastic bases, for those...things. SSSSSHHHHHHH!!!! It's a SEEEEEEEEECRET! EDIT: And by some sick twist of fate, my Arcadia (which, if you recall, was not supposed to arrive until next month) arrived on Monday. I am not at home to assemble and paint it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Can you use the big "resin plugs" as bases? So the smaller mini has slayed and chopped up the monster and is standing on it's bloody dead torso? Some of the stuff, with some greenstuff, you could do this. Problem is the heads are generally cast in halves and after looking through cash's and mine I don't think either of us got a full head for most of our creatures. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the head removed and "laying" in a puddle of blood, so you really on need half a head for this... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I may have a little problem... but... I don't care! Give me more more more minis MUAHAHAHAHA! Won a few items off eBay last night: 02056: Dragoth The Defiler - $6.00 (link to Reaper Store) 60141: Lady Moray, Bard - $2.25 (link to Reaper Store) 14002: Grundor Hoardtaker, Mercenaries Sergeant - $3.00 (link to Reaper Store) HFE006: Shimmer (b) - $3.64 (link to pic) So overall, saved about 50% on their new prices. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I know double-post, but miniature market is running a total clearance (40-80% off) on Dust Tactics for those who like the game/figures/whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
