Put the Drow queen on the Flail Snail as a rider.

 

PLEASE tell me the Drow Queen isn't attached to her throne, I want to do this when they hit retail!

Did the question about the pig cart ever get resolved?  I.e. is the load molded into the cart or is it separate?  Likewise, I seem to recall a similar question about the Terrapin in Dreadmere?  Any chance someone could show pictures of those two?

I think they might live in their shipping box in the storage room for a bit until I can wrap my head around the volumes involved.

 

We still have Bones 3 in the box it arrived in.  Really, REALLY need to sort out and organize it.  I'm with Reaper, though, so many large pieces can be a storage and logistics problem.

I'm gonna go whole hog on magnets with that tree. Make magnet points for the hanging bodies, the vultures, and hopefully for some foliage clumps if I can make them work, so that it can be a dead tree, a living tree, a dead tree infested with vultures, etc...

I still have Bones 1 in the original box. Along with 2 and 3 stuffed into that box and another couple small boxes. Things have been sorted into themes but still a lot from previous kickstarters still unpainted. It doesn't take up a huge mount of space, about a foot by foot and a half or so cube now that I've painted the scenery stuff and the big dragons are sitting in a different spot unpainted. I'm hoping Bones 4 will pack up as tightly once I get it sorted.

here you go!

 

i didn’t get the little dragons so can’t help you out there. 

See, I'd been doing so well this week with lack-of-buyers-remorse but now I regret not getting those

While I appreciate these guys, and they turned out nice, I just couldn't see myself painting them or doing anything with them.

Anyone who has received theirs already and has moment free a ruler handy, could you possibly give us a rough idea of the heights of the big&tall of Bones 4?

Many thanks!

Any excuse to play with my bones. I didn't measure Dance With Death, I don't even want to open it right now. Any others are missing because I didn't buy them, mostly the dragons because I have so many already. I suggest anyone wanting to play with their bones before actual assembly invest in some ziplock bags. Some figures come in resealable bags, but most don't.:

 

Nyarlathotep - 10.5" My temple base has some serious warpage and will need some boiling. I think I'm gonna need a bigger pot. 
Barge (Height/Length?) Over 16(!)" long. And that's not including the rudder. It is big. And too many pieces for me to try and find out the height, but you should be able to extrapolate from the pictures. I'd guess 5"
Ruler of Hell - She stands just over 3", 4" with wings, and a wingspan over 6". He is 3.5", 4.5" with wings, and a 7.5" wingspan.
Dragon Turtle - 10.5" It has a great looking base, but mine seems missing the support to join torso to base.
Baba Yaga's Hut - 7.5" high, 6" wide, 7" long. The hut without the legs is 5" high
Living Statues - I only measured the female, 2.5" without the plinth, 3.5" with. They are nicely designed, she has a small, flat base you can mount her on, so you don't have to fasten her to the plinth.
Tree - 4" high, 6.5" wide.
Roc - Wingspan is close to 13", front to back including wings (they are swept forward) ~11". Head to tail ~6", but because of the diving position it would be ~8" if it were straight. I had some trouble assembling, it seems like it will also need some boiling.
King Cobra - 5.5" tall, 5" long, 4" wide. Just a wild guess, but I'd say 18"-24" if he somehow uncoiled and lay flat.
Thunderfoot Behemoth (triceratops)  - 7.5" long, 3.5" high
Blacktooth Terror (Trex) - 11" long, ~4" high. It's a very nice mini, but mine doesn't line up with the base at all. The legs are almost an inch too close together. It's gonna need some boiling.
Mossbeard Treeman - ~9"
Fantasy Scenics 
    Astrolabe - I couldn't completely assemble it, but it stands over 7" tall. Interestingly, the upper pieces are quite rigid, the lower softer like traditional bones material.
    Gazebo - 3" high

Core Set:
Griffon - 5" high

 

Lost Valley: Quite the size differential between these two.
Mumlak - 5" tall, almost 7" to the top of his weapon.
Carnotaurus - 4.5" long, just over 2" tall.

 

Fan Favorites;
Mammoth - 3" tall

 

Since I was measuring them anyway, I took pictures of many of the minis. At first I thought I would intersperse pictures with the results, but it would be a very long post. After I upload and resize them I will post them separately.

Anything too large for the small parts bins I store in their baggies in one of those 3-tier (5 tier whatever) craft carts. It works. So just some storage ideas for yall

You are amazing, thank you very much! I look forward to all the pictures!

I feel like they'd make great stand-ins for when people forget their minis for a game. My current plan is to get 5-6 copies of Sir Garrick and paint him different colors and use those but I like the personality of the high rollers.

My group leaves their minis at my house in the display cabinet, so they're always around, but I could see that being a solution in other circumstances.

[Suden]

In no particular order Fantasy scenics:

The Astrolabe. I couldn't get the top part to fit in properly, though the notches lined up fine. It probably just needs some fiddling, but since I wasn't assembling and was trying to get through a bunch I didn't spend a lot of time on it.

The Dread Gazebo! More rigid material, not too hard to slide together even if it didn't line up perfectly.

Bones guy was getting tired so he went for a bath in the magic fountain. Apparently he never played first edition or he'd know better.

 

Next up is the core Griffon:

A really big snake:

And a dragon turtle:

The turtle is great, and it has a fantastic base. Interestingly, the base has several pieces (chests, etc.) to add on, rather than being one massive piece.

I seem to be missing a support though, the torso has a hole for a "flying" post, and there is a corresponding hole in the base, but I couldn't find the joiner anywhere. Since it's a pretty heavy mini it needs a pretty solid support. I might look for a big nail to do the job when I finally get around to assembly.

[Jasper_the_2nd]

Skeletal Dragon actually went together surprisingly well for just press fitting everything.  Head and neck did fall of a few seconds after the pic though. 

His base is a little on the bendy side.

A couple of measurements of these 2.

Skeletal Dragon: 10" long, 7.5" high, about 5" wide

Blacksting: 6" long, 11" high, 12" wingspan

Dinos!:

Hornhead is big, but not compared to his nemesis:

Hardly seems like a fair fight...maybe he can challenge the T-Rex to a slap fight.

Next up is an itty-bitty dino, the Carnosaur, next to the Mumlak:

4.5" vs. 5", seems like they'd be a little closer in size.

Next is the tree (I know it was already posted, but I had the pic so...):

The vultures look great, they are 2 or 3 different poses so they don't all look alike. I have one upright on the base of the tree. The base is separate, and the tree probably doesn't need it, it's quite stable by itself.

 

Last, but certainly not least is Nyarlathotep:

Gigantic beast with a great looking temple backdrop. I didn't fully assemble him, there are a couple of sprues of fangy, tentically horror beside the base. I was worried I'd have to make a sanity check if fully assembled. The base is very warped, but I'm sure it will boil out.
