completed Reaper Bones 4: Enthusiasm and Commentary Thread

Did something go wrong with the video?  The embedded window doesn't show the miniatures in better detail.  In fact it is somewhat worse because the resolution is poor.

Sounds like it's be a real slugfest!

 

There's no smiley option for reactions for what I feel when I read stuff like that. 

 

For some reason I wasn't thinking the djinn and efreeti would be that big. I like them and I realise that's roughly the scale their pics were but just never clicked that they were way bigger than man sized. 

[Smokestack]

The Djinn and Efreeti are great. Will look to get one more of each at retail. Isabel the bard is very nice too. But the Mammoth... I think its the star of the show,

I should not have watched the unboxing... I'm not sure that I can wait till February to sit down and do the same.

I just wish we could see the minis in it.

Yeah, that detail window is useless.

The mammoth is exquisite, but I admit that I expected it to be bigger. 

[Chris Palmer]

Yep, agree that you couldn't see a thing in the video.  

 

      But I have to say, I'm thrilled to hear that everything isn't coming pre-glued together!  I've had to rip a number of things apart from past Kickstarters because of initial careless assembly; and the opportunities for conversion are going to be so much easier with the parts already separate! 

[NecroMancer]

I agree I couldn't see much but I like that a little better.  It gives me that much more to look forward without having it spoiled.  It was just nice to get some info about the color change and that some models will need some assembly.

Yea, just watched the full video, and the quote unquote preview window was farther back then the full screen:( Oh well, gives me hope we will get our stuff near march seeing as full up core sets are already in production and boxed up. Man, I just looked over my order(s), I see a ticked off mailman come March (at least his truck shouldn't be so full, since Christmas will be over haha).

[strawhat]

I've got to admit that I would have preferred Dreadmere, but I've got to admit that I'm pretty happy with the preview. 

• The duergar/dark dwarves are great. 
• The mammoth seems small, especially considering Mumlak, but I like it!
• Zombie shark...my goodness, but Eldest has ruined all mentions of "shark" with that song...
• Bog Skeletons!
• Maggotcrown Juggernaught!  I wonder if I could put a pumpkinhead on it...
• Efreet/Djinn!  I'm really looking forward to these two.
• Isobael and Dog both look great.

The rest are all fine additions, even if they don't exactly speak to me.

[Ratmaster2000]

Hmm, pumpkinhead on juggernaught, that sounds like a good idea:) Hmm, I have milliput sitting here:)

I didn’t pledge for the fan favourite expansion but after seeing the latest photos the minis I’m planning to get at retail are the efreeti and the djinni. The crab man cause they’ll work as mirelurks for Fallout. Isobael bard and her little dog too, as well as the cat folk, preferable in metal if Reaper releases them as such.

They're already released in metal.

Well yay!

Just checked to see if I missed the bard and dog too but I didn’t find them.

I'm guessing we shall be seeing them soonish.

On the 19th of this month apparently! 

 

Edit: oh, you meant Isobael.  No confirmed word yet, although at the pace they're going, I suspect odds would be decent she'll be available in the next couple of months.

I like the unboxing video. I think it's great they have changed stuff with their packaging to get us a less-warped product, even though the time for advertising that fact to us to get other people to join is long gone. The whole hot water - cold water thing hasn't worked for me as intended in the past on some occasions, so I really hope this helps.

Again, thumbs up for always trying to improve stuff.

 

Edit: And snipping and glueing minis is the only part of the hobby my bf will join in in, so he has something to look forward to now as well
