completed Reaper Bones 4: Enthusiasm and Commentary Thread

[CorallineAlgae]

I've been off for a while and had to skip a few dozen pages but holy cow those giants are amazing!!! 

 

I have to give Izzy a big thanks for making such a fantastic design on these females. Awesome armor, cool weapons, sweet caribou, no cleavage, and no huge knockers. These are my dream giant minis. Reaper is the bomb diggity! I do hope the sculptor doesn't add D-cups. 

 

Here's a scale reference:

Looks at the crowd gathered around the Bones4 Kickstarter and wonders who among them are innocent...? :)

Ah yes, that sweet, sweet caribou........mmmmmmmmm..........

Thanks for responding re: the crawling bat! :)

 

These lady frost giants are incredible. When I saw the Fire Giant and Hell Hound, I talked myself out of it. When I saw the Hill Giant with Dire Lion, I said, that's cool, but it's just an idiot hill giant. But now, the Frost Giants and their Winter Wolf are so great that I kinda want to pick up the first two, too! 

 

So, uh, not to be greedy... but might there be more in the series? Stone Giant with, uh, Galeb Duhr companion? Storm Giant with Thunderbird?

Ooh thanks for reposting the scale reference!  Agreed, these ladies are just perfect. 

 

[Off-topic pet peeve rant that is hopefully no more inappropriate than the prior discussion of snakeperson...uh...torso venom sacs]:

Looking at the concept art, that giantess might very well have D-cups as she is drawn. They're just not hanging out there waiting to be frozen off/shot with arrows, which is awesome.

Also, a properly fitted D or DD cup is not nearly as large as popular lore thinks it is. The highly exaggerated busty ladies in comics/miniatures/etc would be waaaaay higher up the alphabet (like, G through M) because cup size is calculated based on the difference between bust circumference and ribcage circumference (and those ladies have tiny ribcages).

Ron posted on FB the new giants are about 80mm and that puts them in the same size as the giants from KS3, he put a pic with them in scale with the other Frost giants and they will go perfectly with them.

I'm very happy to hear that.

 

Also, we need some cavalry!

[NebulousMissy]

I like that the dead caribou on the back of the one frost giant looks medium sized. It's not huge like moose, it's deer-sized.

I'm okay with that!

 

also from Ron:

David - close. It's difficult to approximate sizes using concept art sometimes. The Winter Wolf will be sculpted to fit on a 2" base though. That might change height or length, but we'll do our best to make it fit to the art as close as possible.

Oh I love those giantesses! They're just gorgeous! And that wolf! I have a need for giant wolves!

I saw it mentioned in the KS comments the other day that there will be one or more new Mouslings at Halloween/Reapercon. 

I read that  I'm definitely looking forward to that.

I would prefer giants with less armor tbh. And as mentioned above a "D" cup isn't that big of you know about bra sizing and wear a bra lol. 

Im just glad to see more female giants and ones that are fearsome. 

My favorite part of the mini to paint is the skin and face so I'm biased to barbarian type minis.
