completed Reaper Bones 4: Enthusiasm and Commentary Thread

[LordJosh]

I want the new expansion...oh god, I want it; but I think I'm at my limit for the KS; hopefully I can scrape together more money before next July to add it to my order.

Well, the shipping rate is lociked in when you lock in your pledge.  Even if rates later go up, you won't be charged.  If you make an additional pledge, you will pay the difference in shipping, at I assume that current orders shipping rate.

OOooooohhhh I see why we've had a bump. We might ding today.

Whoa, just realized something: If you cut off all the tentacles from the Killer Fungi, and two from the Phase Cat, you have ten spare tentacles. That happens to be just enough to make a Beholder out of an Eyebeast.

Sadly, the last response on that Tweet thread went all Beekeepers.

[Thes Hunter]

Ooooo probably why I don't read comments on big name tweets.

Yeah that's what reaper say, but I'm curious how big the save is. Is it a couple of bucks or is it 20.

I saw that and wasn't going to mention it.

 

Isn't it fun* to watch how people on the internet do not fact check.

No way to know. Shipping is based on shipping rates and they've been pretty volatile in the last few years.

I hope that the Dance of Dead isn't that expensive!  I was thinking $30-40.  

 

I doubt I can skip it if it is that expensive (as much as Maal) but I might have to cut something else out.

I'm not interested in Dance at all - great figure but I've got loads of (unpainted) dragons and don't see this being at all useful at the table. Lovely painting project though, but not like I've got a lack of models to paint...

I learned the hard way not to Twitter. Ex boyfriend in prison, but with computer privileges.

 

I don't even use that email account anymore.

 

He quoted me on religious web sites, about how I am  a Satanist and need saving because I am a neopagan and used to be noisy about it.

 

He took a lot of the fun right out of being a practicing witch.

 

This KS is still looking kind of guy heavy, I am hoping for more witches, sorceresses, and clericsesses. Clerictrixes? There are a lot of older Reaper miniatures of female casters that would be great in Bones, all by the same sculptor. She also did some female fighter and paladin types that still look really good.

*casts Change of Topic*

 

For those of you planning to get Dance of Death, what colors will you be painting your dragons? Same, different, with polka dots?

 

For that matter, does anyone already have color schemes for any of the Bones 4 figures picked out? I'm already planning to paint the catfish as a Magikarp (thanks to Pezler's suggestion).  

 

Huzzah!

--OneBoot :D

There's a reason I don't Face, Tweet, or Tumbl.

 

Liking the giants with pets theme going on - Frost Giant with polar bear next?

 

The Auld Grump - when I sat down, Megan told me 'Shh, I'm writing about you behind your back!'

I'm toying with two designs for Dance of Death (if i get 2 i can do both): A warm orangey-redy vs a cold white-blue, or a vibrant citrus yellow-orange vs a deep green-blue

 

not sure on Zombie Dragon. Blue, maybe

 

catfish is going to be fishy. Maybe trout or salmon, something muddy colors with faint spots
