Right now I am in for the first paint set, the torture chamber from the core set, all dragons except Viridious, and Crusaders, and the arsenal with more pledged that is spent currently

 

I know for sure I will be getting any future dragon that appeals to me, as well as any big mouster that would be fun to paint (like that giant worm )

 

The things I want fronm the core, like the dog and donkey, I can wait for retail. My husband hasn't gamed in months and we have a surplus of PC Bones anyways so we are being rather choosy in this KS, mostly getting things I would want to paint or things he simply cannot pass up, like the torture chamber and arsenal

I like about the same percentage of the core 30 as I did in the last. Waiting to see how all the "bonus" figures stack up, because they were, imo, pretty phenomenal in 2. Doing okay so far now, but there's a ways to go before final happiness can be determined.

 

I'll be able to hit more add-ons this time, which is kind of fun. Planning for all the dragons but the diablonator, and no corsairs or mouselings or the second paint set.

 

Looking forward to the expansions and Takhisn't, too.

I'm in for over 400 so far since my wife wanted her own core set plus most of the extras

[Knight of the Dinner Table]

Bryan said something about the expansions which I find is fantastic: When expansions hit, there will be double goals: one goal expands the expansion, the other is a goal for everybody ... so even if people don't get the expansion, they have a goal to look forward to.

[Humansquish]

, all dragons except Viridious,

I'm curious, why not Viridius?

[Humansquish]

I put in a set amount thinking it will be what I will spend this KS. If my list of wants goes higher than my set amount I will most likely increase my pledge. Currently I'm at about half of my set amount in wants.

[Baugi]

The core currently has to add a few more cool things to win me over.

 

Ditto. I feel like I've probably got all the PCs I'll ever need now, and really, I need things to throw at my players. Those new goblins and ogres are spot on. The crusaders will make fantastic royal guard to accompany/lead my anhurian city watch. The frost Giants... Well I just need those. Not so sure about more male archers and lady spellcasters at this point.

Did anybody collect my clues about the Undying Lords in one place to analyze them?

[Smokestack]

The biggest draw for me on the core set is probably all the lizardmen... I also second (or third or whatever) the call for red mantis assassins and Grey maidens in bones... The only reason I never bought them in metal is you need 5-10 for a good encounter and that is a bit expensive for minor villains... Even the pathfinder prepaints for the grey maidens are on the expensive side...

 

My wishlist is still the same as it was in bones 2... Khamsin army. Mounted, foot troops, special characters. I have a need for "Arabian"/middle eastern miniatures and these guys fit the bill.

I didn't see them anywhere. but I did continue the discussion of what some of them meant. And then when I say the goal I was like "Oh, I get it, many eyes or no eyes!" and lol'd.

They are in a OneBoot post (maybe a couple of posts) a few pages back. Edited July 12, 2015 by ladystorm

Bone's could definitely use many more desert / arabian minis. More of the non-mummy nefsokar!

Shame on me, my pledge is currently below average at $105. I'm enjoying the core pledge more than in the previous kickstarters, but it doesn't have enough value for me yet. Mind you, I'll have to pay a considerable shipping fee, a 60% tax on top of everything (including shipping) and Brazilian currency is weak (and it will continue to be weak in the next 2 or 3 years at least).

 

From the core, I'm going to pledge for lycantropes II, arsenal, 2 invisible heroes, torture chamber, ogres and there are 10 miniatures that I intend to buy at retail from the initial 54, including one of which lizardmen. I'm also in for Marthrangul, frost giants and undying lords. I hope by the end of the campaign I will be convinced to back the core plus extras and would be nice if the mystic circle had some more details on the final sculpt.

 

By the way, Reaper is doing a great job on this campaign with 1 or 2 stretch goals reveal a day as "promised"!

Im increasing my pledge as it goes - I started with 100 for the core & waited until the madness settled to increase it again once the manager was up to tell me about shipping. Im currently sitting at $275 which is about $15 over what I currently want + shipping. That said I could easily spend that & more on other addons - but I have a limited budget (around $400 including shipping) & I am waiting to see what else comes. I dont want to tell myself I can have everything & then not be able to afford them because so many other awesomeness is released. My current list stands:

 

GETTING $173 + shipping

Core $100

Kyra & Lavarath (x2) $20 (we are going to mod 1 to simply be an armoured dragon with Kyra as a separate model)

Marthrangul $15

Crusaders $8

Mystic Circle $15

?? Viridius $15 (I really like this model & want it, but my husband isnt as keen on the sculpt, depending on how the budget goes & what else is available is whether I get it, right now it on the list!)

Undying Lords $8

 

EXTRAS

1x Orcs $6

1x Arsenal $4

1x? Bases $10

 

So that is how I am handling things. I like round numbers so Ive been going up in $25 increments as needed.
