If necessary, you should be able to drill up through the bottom of the base and up into the leg to put a pin in it - cut a small notch into the bottom of the base and bend the bottom end of the pin into an L shape at the right angle and then glue it. It won't be bending anymore...

 

This would, however, entirely defeat the purpose of being able to take them right out of the package, glue them to a 25x50mm square base, and start playing Warlord with them. And the fact is, those two models don't matter to me, personally. I've got 10 centaur cavalry models painted for my Warlord army; I don't really need any more.

 

Thanks for adding your comments though; if the body mass vs. ankle size does prove to be a long-term issue with them, perhaps someone else will be able to make use of this tip.

I think the "ready to paint or play with, right out of the box!" line on the back of every bit of Bones packaging is marketing hyperbole, pure and simple. Many of the figures can be played with immediately on opening (I've been doing just that with my order, as a matter of fact - pew pew pew!) but a large number require fitting, gluing, boiling, bending, and all of them must be washed and dried before you can hope to apply paint.

And my order is on it's way.  Shame I didn't get to see Colwood BC pass by, but I'm a wave 4 ROW so that is stupendous progress.  Thank you to the Reaper folks who are hammering away at the fulfillment!

Izzy is Isabel 'Talin' Collier. She is best known as our star concept artist.

 

Ok, this is probably going to end up being an embarassing question, but let's just get it out of the way.  

 

Is that the same person as Tim 'Talin' Collier (credited artist for these cool 'Talin' artwork desktops)?  https://www.reapermini.com/Desktops 

[MissMelons]

Yes. She's super awesome to talk with. I met her last year at Rcon and she did a great panel.

Yes. But what's really embarrassing is that after all the time I've been on these forums, I didn't know that page existed. I may have to change my desktop... several times.

[MissMelons]

Know what's awesome about that? There's a link to the miniature too!!!!

That's exactly what threw me too! My image folder was even named "Tim 'Talin' Collier" because of the name listed for many of the images. 

 

But this is the internet and my name isn't really Coralline Algae so... I'd just love to buy an art book from her one day. Izzy rocks.

Agreed! Hello, new F5ing Sophie desktop...

[stephaniall]

Just got our message. Reaperbryan, you rock. Thank you so much for coming in and packing orders on Valentine's Day, of all days! We <3 you! :)

I have a stupid question, I am a US early bird pledge.  My pledge had been locked in for a while. Have those shipped yet or are they held up? I haven't seen anything yet message wise.

  Yes, all Wave 1 pledges except those who didn't 'Lock in' their pledges should have shipped:  but there's been some fairly gnarly email issues.  It's entirely possible that your order has shipped and an email hasn't been sent yet.  Check your spam folder just in case it's ended up there.

 

  Follow the instructions at the start of the thread if you want to make an enquiry, but also be aware that Reaper are focusing on fufillment over their normal email turnaround and you might have to wait a little for a response especially given it's the weekend.

 

[edit]Whoops, not at the start of this thread, but it's around here somewhere : )

 

Also - Wave 3 ROW shipping confirmation for me.

Wave 3 ROW shipping confirmation for me:  my first of two orders is on the way.  Unfortunately the tracking number is missing so I won't be able to track it but no big deal:  I'm getting it delivered to work so the timing is pretty much immaterial.

 

• 2013 Core Set x1
• Lords of Darkness x1
• Oh, Rats! x1
• Heroes and Villains x1
• Gelatinous Cube x1
• Water Elementals x1

After seeing one of the Numenara models painted up, I'm REALLY glad I snagged that : )  Oh, and don't worry, the DDS II, Khanjira, and assorted other large orders are coming in the second order >.>
