completed Reaper Bones 4: Enthusiasm and Commentary Thread

[Chris Palmer]

I have had a few of those older figures and have found them to be a little smaller than the current Reaper line.  But, hey, folks are different sizes in real life, so it doesn't bother me. Especially in fantasy where there are no factory made items to compare the size of, like with WWII figures were the same rifle in different sizes is somewhat noticeable. 

 

Edit: And as a side note, I have a few old 25mm human figures that have now found themselves among the ranks of more current Dwarves and Halflings!

Within the first few days, I pledged what I thought to be a "This should definitely do it!" Amount.  I have finally exceeded those funds.  It's a good kind of pain.  There are a LOT of days left.

Yeah, I know what you mean. My wallet has been crying for a while now.

He's a sniper! if he's getting shot at, he's not hiding very well. He just has to worry about his upper parts poking above his sniper nest when the takes a shot

 

of course the foot soldiers are fully armored

Snakeman foot soldiers?

Am I the only person who, when seeing the king cobra for the first time, thought that it would be funny to paint it as realisticly as possible and hide it in my frontyard?

No, no you are not.

I need to catch up from where I left on Friday (page 280!). I'll see you in a couple hours. :D

I'm not going to be ungrateful for more stuff, but how many of you guys re-base your Bones? The integral bases have never left me wanting more. I know some of the arguments in favor of re-basing, but I still don't see the appeal.

Still hoping for female giants.... I'm sitting on my $1 pledge for now.

I base mine on metal washers to make use of magnetic storage and to provide stability and weight on uneven gaming surfaces.

I rebase some of mine. Depends on the base, some stand fine on their own, some tend to topple too easily.

[NecroMancer]

I rebase mine but I paint for display and not for gaming.

Can you throw up a pic of your storage system? I've been fiddling about with some different ideas, would love some input.

Do you use sheet magnets or something to hold them in place?

I was planning on putting mine in the bathroom.

Some of the mid-sized minis have needed additional bases (think large/huge in pathfinder/D&D terms).
