LittleBluberry Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Personally I find going back to the Bones 2 Kickstarter page and looking at all the stuff I'll be getting to be very distracting! There's so much awesome that I sometimes forget individual items. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baphomet69 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Posted here for those who don't do FaceBook, from Reapers Facebook page: "Getting set up to start pulling orders" I see mine! It the third, fourth, fifth and sixth bins from the left! Squeeee! *thud* 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzylobo Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Looking at the forecast and the 'highs' here...They're about third from the bottom on the left hand column...I may have to intentionally delay shipping to avoid paint freezing. http://xkcd.com/526/ ... (goes and checks) yeeeaahhhhh. Hey, Bryan - any chance of boxes being shipped to the Northeast having the paints buried in the middle of the box, to provide more insulation? (only half kidding...) yeeesh. WNY weather? You are terrible, and bad, and you should feel bad. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Jack Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Paints almost never freeze during shipping - it's usually being left outside in a mailbox for hours or even overnight that ends up freezing them. It's the actual formation of ice crystals in the water that destroys paints, and that doesn't happen unless it's really cold for a significant amount of time. Liquids take a lot longer to cool down than gases, and just because the ambient temps outside reach below freezing does not mean that something is instantly going to freeze - even an ice cube tray filled with water sitting in a freezer (directly exposed to cold air) takes a fair amount of time to freeze. The paints are inside plastic bottles that are inside cardboard boxes - they may even be inside their own boxes or bags within that box rather than flailing around loose - which are inside buildings or vehicles... That's a lot of layers of insulation between the paint and the cold air. Think about it : They're packed into a sealed cardboard box, which will be placed into an enclosed truck for transport, stored in a heated building until transported again, possibly loaded into the cargo area of a plane which is unlikely to reach actual freezing temps even if unheated (bad for business to have packages getting wet cuz ice formed on them, right?), put back on a truck, and then stored in a building again until delivered to a mailbox that is probably the only place they'll be spending any significant amount of time in an environment cold enough for the temperature to have any long-term effect on the paint. Out of all of us who live in colder environments, how many of us can actually say they've had any paints freeze on them during delivery, and of those how many can say that it's happened more than once or twice in their life? I've lost power in my house for days on end during the winter several times over the years, and my paints are set up in my basement next to the door to my unheated garage. I've had my pipes freeze on me many times, but never had any of my paints freeze on me. Someday I'm going to buy a bottle of paint to sacrifice and see just exactly how long it takes a bottle of paint to freeze when left outdoors on my back porch.

Now you have to. For science. I'd volunteer but I live in a warm climate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadZeke Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 You'd more likely attract a Buglips shrieking about you trying to murder paint. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlylowlycook Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Does anyone know what temperature the paint freezes at? Just out of curiosity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocPiske Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Does anyone know what temperature the paint freezes at? Just out of curiosity. 32° F or 0° C? Just a guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackMann Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 No, it's a bit lower than that. The additives and pigment lower the freezing point a bit. Not sure how much by, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlylowlycook Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Well normally if something is dissolved in the water that would change the freezing point. Then again it could be that nothing that's in the paint would have that effect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yes. I have modified Bryan's want list to include basing and scenery as well as TIAMAT. What? I can do that. I was thinking of Bone 3: Bigger, Badder, Basier! Lots of large minis and bases. I know this isn't a Bones III thread but I want to mention II is already coming with a lot of big stuff and I'd rather more useful pieces for the gaming table than a bunch of huge figures. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florin Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I just looked over what I'm getting via the Kickstarter page and got really excited... I did too, but I always feel a pang of regret I didn't get the kraken. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
