Eek! The like is for everything being ok for now and having options.

 

Now a  for the Navy not making up its mind, and putting you in a unable to plan situation. 

Well, my concern is that the longer they take the more people that I work with will find other work, thus making it harder for us to fulfill the contract if we get renewed. 

 

I just want them to make up their minds.  I'm also wondering if they have decided that they don't want to renew the contract, and they changed their minds after the bidding process started.  Letting it die on the vine as it were.  Just so much uncertainty.  And we can't contact the people in charge of making the decision as that would be seen as tampering or collusion in the bidding process.

Love the new expansion!

My wish list would include Lady Devona, just so that there's one side-saddle option.  But yes, pretty much that.  I might not buy 10 sets, but I'd buy at least a couple.

That one horse was in Bones, but his rider was defective. I am using the horse for my Open piece for ReaperCon, so i recognize it xD

 

I'm also using that horse for my paladin conversion.  It's a great little horse!  Back in Bones 2 there was a lot of talk about how you could convert the riders by removing the top half of them and then replacing it with the top half of a different mini.  But it rather requires that you have a few different variants on armor for the bottom half.  It really, really sucks that Sir Danel never made it to retail like the other defective Bones models.  His only issue was that he had a wonky hand--his right hand is a left hand and it looks bizarre--it was totally fixable.  Heck, I'd buy him even as he is and either fix the hand or chop off his whole upper half again. 

 

This is really why I want more cavalry.  I've been waiting since Bones 2.  .

For those of you who know better how Bones work: I loved the Dance of Dead, pure love on first sight, and I thought it was gonna be announced as a reward soon. Instead I see a new entire map had been unlocked with apparently many other rewards. I feel like it can bee too optimistic to think that all of them will be reached and unlocked on the time we have left. And by the way it looks, the path of the heroes to the set with the battle between the dragons will take a long. What do you think? 

 

Also, for your experience, will it be a red type of reward (optional) or an addition to core? Sorry, can't remember how it worked on Bones 1, the only I took part on.

Crap or get off the pot, as it were. 

 

Would your current company have another position for you on a different contract? And if not, any chance of a severance package?

It will be unlocked. They probably won't show Dance until the last day (or hey you never know, could be sooner). 

 

We unlock multiple goals on the last day or so, and Reaper times certain goals. So they will offer dance at some point, and it will unlock. So its a safe bet to throw in $20 for it now, and then we can unlock more stuff before they reveal Dance, and then bring in even more backers, (to unlock even more stuff, and so on, and so forth).

Its hard to say when the Dance of Dead will be revealed but they did mention that it is not the biggest thing the will be revealing so I have to imagine it won't be the last thing unlocked.

 

It almost assuredly will be an add-on (red type reward).  The question is how much?  

[Thes Hunter]

I'm thinking $20-25. But heck who knows could be $30

Guess at the very least 70-80$? If it's not the biggest thing I can't even imagine what will it be the biggest one. 

But either is the biggest or not, my friend and I (we are sharing the core pledge) both want desperately the Dance of dead so... great if it's an add-on

 

Edit. Well, seeing how big is Narglauth and it's only 15$ I guess 20-30$ for the dance will be a closer bet yes

Like everyone else, I'm expecting it to be a last-two-days-of-the-kickstarter item. For context, here's what Bones 3 looked like:

http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1513061270/reaper-miniatures-bones-3-the-search-for-mr-bones/#chart-daily

 

and here's how Bones 2 went:

http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/1513061270/reaper-miniatures-bones-ii-the-return-of-mr-bones/#chart-daily

 

So it will probably (but not certainly) be one of the many crazy-awesome things that get revealed at the end as part of the several-hundred-thousand-dollar bonanza of the last two days.

I'm not sure, it looks to be similar in amount of boneisum to Ma'al, who was $60, but more Boneisum than T'ruak, who was a $20

 

i'd say between $30-$60 add on

I'm guessing $50 right now...

I don't know about you, but a number of our contracts have been impacted over the years by different bureaucratic challenges higher up in DOD or the broader federal government. Can't speak to your situation but hopefully they're just delayed by the folks upstairs and they'll get back to you soon. That's a bad situation for you to be in. :(

[Sirithiliel]

Also, it might require more molds than Ma'al, which could drive its price up further. Casting 2 dragons and hte rock base and all

I just realized an issue with the High Rollers........the d12 should have been a barbarian, not wizard. Why? Because on the game table the d12 gets absolutely no love except from the barbarian class, with the d12 hit die and the d12 damage from the greataxe.

Darn, I am gonna have to pull my pledge on this:)

hmmm another interesting expansion. this makes my decision making about add ons expansions and the core set kind of difficult. 

Man, and I thought I was going to get away with just the core and dreadmere:( Damn it bones, im a gamer not a millionaire!

Not really interested in the new expansion, the only thing that really appeals to me are the dark elves but I can pick those up at retail.

 

One thing that is cool about the new expansion is that it looks like are a lot of people are liking it and its bringing in those pledge dollars!!

 

Edit:  I guess I should wait to say I'm not too interested in this expansion as it has at least one more part to be revealed.

Yah, im interested but on the fence till we get more of it unlocked.

It's not like I'm running an Underdark campaign right now and could use all of those minis NOW.

Well, it's a great expansion, I guess I have to stop my players from finding an exit tunnel until 2019. Or have them kidnapped and dragged back.

They could always fall into some time travelling trap:)

 

Well hopefully people are excited about Beholders oops I mean dark watcher and displacer umm phase cat:) I know a lot of people have asked for those.

If we get all three parts of expansion and dance of death unlocked, I'll be happy (broke, but happy). Still holding out a small glimmer of hope for Cat dragon though, just saying :)

I don't need an army worth, but it would be nice to put together a mounted adventuring party, with mules.  Oh, and a mounted group of raiders or bandits for an encounter.

Word was "similar in price to Maldrakar, but I don't think that's been decided yet."

Almost $20,000 in just a few hours!
