The real question now being how many sets of the new paint set do you have to get to get enough of the wood triad to paint the HUT!!!!!

 

I am guessing you would need two.

 

Having painted several giant minis, one will be more than sufficient. :) Those paint bottles are each like a tiny Tardis! 

 

Huzzah!

I raised my pledge. Again. Beans and ramen are both tasty. 

 

Broccoli and carrots are also cheap!

Bryan had said that is not HD or Bones branded paint.

 

I'm conflicted now...  I buy more HD/Bones paint than MSP, so I might not get the paint set after all.  It's not like I don't have plenty of paint.  <eyes overflowing paint bins>

[Risible]

Really not happy about Baba being included in the core set. Having gotten the core set in the last three Kickstarters I was going to give this one a pass.

 

I'm REALLY hoping she is available to buy separately at the end of the campaign.

I kept telling myself that there was no way I would need the new paints.  And then I saw them. *sigh* 

 

I'm pretty sure that Anne has reached the point in her alchemy career that the only thing left is to create a Snozzberry RMS triad that actually tastes like snozzberries. . . .

Buy all the paint, trust me, in a year and a half you will need more ,especially with hundreds of new minis.

 

I already have hundreds of unpainted minis, hence the massive paint buying now. But yeah, it'll probably happen because I regret not buying more in the earlier Kickstarters. 40-50 paints was enough for years. Now I'm at over 150 and thinking not enough.

 

I'm not in the buy minis=don't eat category anymore but I know how that feels. I'm in the buy minis=pay bank interest category. I'm all grown up now (theoretically) so I get to figure out whether my interest payments offset the Kickstarter savings while I scrape together more cash. There's not a lot of worry the cash will come just some question about when.

Well if all else fails, she'll be available at retail eventually.  But I sympathize, I'm waiting to see how the core gets broken up as well.  It's a nice set and all, but I found myself just underwhelmed with the core set from Bones 3.  So maybe three core sets is plenty at this point. 

 

EDIT:  Thought I should clarify that I was underwhelmed with it arrived.  I was super excited during the campaign, but in the time since then I've fallen back in love with metal minis.

hMMMM, MORE PAINT EH? I really need to figure out a display/storage solution. I've just got them crammed in my learn to paint kits right now.

[SamuraiJack]

Okay so maybe I'll be at 400 bottles of paint soon...

[trappleton]

When I first saw Bones 3 -- well after it ended -- I told my wife, "I'd really like to get in on the next one, if they do it!" I told her I'd probably want to spend $200. I'm currently at $162 and that's starting to look like a very conservative estimate.

I'm mostly joking about beans and Ramen. I refuse to pay interest on credit cards but if I bring the food budget in low for the month, $50 rolls to next month and the rest is mine. This incitivizes me to cook instead of eating out.

If you have wall space, consider acrylic nail polish racks. I hang mine in the closet, protecting the paints from sunlight.

This is what worries me. I'm climbing towards 200 rapidly and it wouldn't take much to get there if I bought every paint that interests me.

I went big on the last one (not compared to some here but for me) because I wasn't able to get everything that interested me in the first two. This time I thought $200-$250 will be good enough. Should have known better. I'm at $200 now and know there'll be more coming. Need to actually try to sell my unwanted Bones from I-III like I've planned. Not sure I'd get much for the 20 or so minis that me and the kids aren't interested in. Our buying habits, 200 minis come in, 5 go out unwanted.

Ack! More paint. You know I can't resist more paint, right?

 

Very sneaksy, Reaper, very sneaksy!
