If you're looking for a large Rock Monster, have you seen Reaper's Earth Elemental?

 

http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/rock/sku-down/77185

If the scale on that thing is right, it would definitely work!  Problem with so many of the Forge World monsters is a serious lack of scale photos compared to other models.  Between the costs and ease of working with the material, I would much rather use Bones models for my big models.

 

I mean, I have half a Mordheim warband that's various Bones models, and they look perfect next to some GW models for that.

 

Goodness, that Fan Favorite expansion looks neat.  Kind of small, but definitely interesting, and I'm excited to see the rest of it!

 

Thank goodness for the Pledge Manager!

The painted special kobolds look nice.
Now I must wait for the fan-facvourite expansion to expand, and then compare it to others. Followed by a hard choice too choose 1.

There is literally the blade from my old pizza cutter embedded under the putty.  I used it as an armature.

 

 When I first saw that, I immediately recognized how you did it - I use an upside-down plastic base as the armature for sculpting the ring of rocks around my campfires...

[Nunae]

Good morning everyone!

Uh, I slept through 3 updates. 

I like the idea for the fan favorites, though I can't really say if I'll pledge for it, since we have no idea what's coming.

Oh, and I forsee a "why is there a penguin/toaddemon/hellhound/... in it, but not the very special xyz I have shouted from the roof tops since day 1?!"

 

[NebulousMissy]

It sounds like I'll be getting the Fan Favorites set. My partner is already planning how I'm going to be painting those hellhounds. Some sort of cracked stone, perhaps jade. Deep jade? White jade! With inclusions...

Or, like the terror dogs from Ghostbusters.

*** Here is a box to sleep in, daddy might sell the house if the next reveal is a ghost pirate ship***

Oh man this is nice stuff to awaken to.

[daveismyhero]

And now I know why I couldn't sleep...it's Bones Day! So many cool reveals lately, I really need to get caught up!

[Chris Palmer]

Good morning, everybody!   How nice it was to wake up and find Ghost Pirates in my inbox!    

 

They look like the perfect thing for the Scooby Gang to unmask as really being Mr Jenkins the old lighthouse keeper! 

 

Looking forward to what the day brings!  

 

 

And woohoo, we're only 11 backers away from hitting the Bones 2 backer total!!!!!

Nice new additions to the info dump! Didn't think it was going to happen, but Bones 2 backer numbers are going down! We'll probably get pretty close to Bones 2 total too. Amazing!
