A thing I've wanted for some time -- and would buy multiples of...

 

1. Stagecoach, with or without horse team and driver.

 

2. Traveling wagon with shack on it, with or without horse team and driver... repaintable as a medicine show wagon, gypsy caravan wagon, carnival wagon... particularly if it came in pieces for easy assembly and modification.

 

In metal, these pieces would be prohibitively expensive. In Bones, I'd buy a half dozen of each.

I can't wait for the skeleton dwarf in Bones 3, however he needs friends. I would like to see a skeletal dwarf crossbowman, cleric, and spearman. Having a large stylized dwarf statue would also be nice.

 

You could use the Dwarf King on his Throne from Bones III as a huge statue.

 

I would like to see the same for the Lizardman skeleton. A few more , maybe even zombie lizards would be awesome.

And a skeleton or zombie dinosaur of some kind..I have plans..

Monstrous skeletons of various types/sizes would rule.

I see you have about a dozen sculpts of Yuan-Ti (Snakemen) in metal but none in bones. 

 

Abominations- Convert the sculpts you have into bones.

PureBloods- Humanoid with snake like features(reptilian face, scales, etc)

Half Bloods- Humainoid shape but much more snake like (ex: 14187)

 

I want to run a campaign that heads north from Baldur's Gate.  There is a section there that is overrun with Yuan-Ti but miniatures of them are hard to find(or expensive).

 

Bones 4 the arrival of Bones Jr   Snakeggedon(WIP)!

I'm thinking of revisiting my Savage Worlds IMEF trooper "bug hunt" scenario for Necronomicon 2016 or 2017, and for part of my prep, I want to add a drone specialist to the PC squad.  I was thinking of kitbashing and/or sculpting something like these:

Now if something like this were to be added to the Chronoscope IMEF/NOVA line in Bones, this is the sort of thing I could use SEVERAL of.  (Or, hey, it'd work in pewter, too, but Bones plastic would be easier for mods.)

 

The "gun drone" could be used to represent a stationary security turret that could be an adversary ... or an ally, provided that the team's "electronic security specialist" manages to hack into the controls.  OR, if the team has some sort of "engineer" or "drone specialist," it's a semi-portable defense system that could be put in strategic positions for when the team KNOWS the alien swarm is going to be pouring through every portal, air duct, maintenance hatch, in the next 5 minutes, and they need to carefully set up a kill zone to whittle down the alien numbers before they reach our heroes.  

 

Plus, with Bones plastic, I could easily chop out the exposed gun part and shut the "lid" for alternate closed/deployed versions of the same little gun-can.

 

The flying drone would be useful as a flying advance scout.  I envision kitbashing one of the IMEF troopers to have some sort of fancy "HUD" helmet or cerebral plug-in -- depending upon the tech level -- to indicate his or her ability to "see" through the ideas of the drone.  In an RPG, it's a nice way to check that dark room to see how many carnivorous aliens are waiting for you without losing a head while doing so.  For miniatures-gaming, I could envision the drone as a useful tool for providing LOS for indirect fire -- such as bouncing grenades around corners or chucking them over barricades.  It would also make a great platform for quick-conversions by shaving the "sensor pod" off the bottom and replacing it with a gun or other weapon appropriate to the tech level of the setting.

 

As a bonus, though the drone looks a bit more solid than a modern-day camera drone, it still could look like it's within the realm of possibility, and thus be useful for modern-day drone jockey characters (a useful if fragile tool for modern-day monster hunters and investigators and zombie-apocalypse-survivors).

 

Bones 'bots of some sort could be useful in a variety of forms, especially in quantity, either as more stuff for trigger-happy IMEF and NOVA troopers to blow up, or for the more technologically-adept among them to utilize as expendable tools for fighting the Bathalian, Kulathian, Grey, or Cyber Reaver menace.

I really like the game Kings of War, but I hate the look of Mantic's ogres. I plan to use the Bones 3 ogres. I would like Reaper to make some ogre shooters (crossbows / firearms) and maybe a magic wielding ogre.
