Coming in Bones F5: Bones table extensions!  That's right, the shipping box itself will be made out of Bonesium and can be taken apart and reassembled as extensions for your gaming table!  The more you buy, the more room you have to play! And if we reach the stretch goal, new Bones Shelves!

 

 

It's not the table that's the problem. Now if the box can be converted into a shed, ....

And I got the skeletal dragon because I figured it would be smaller and more playable than Kally. It's smaller but that's still big enough that it's not likely to get much table time. Blacksting is bigger than I was expecting too.While I get the attraction of the massive minis for what I'm doing something 6"+ is usually big enough. A 3 foot square table doesn't leave a lot of manouevering room when the monster takes up a quarter of it. Not a big complaint though.

 

While we do have a rather big table to play on, thanks to our D&D host, there are only so many campaign ending big bads a campaign needs. Most D&D games never get to the levels where it would be appropriate to fight those ginormous monsters.

I like the miniatures ofc, but more dragons within the 2 inch and 3 inch base category would see more actual game time. And the wyvern from the core set is more likely to be used to kill players than Blacksting is.

With a little luck, the smaller models will make an appearance in the next Secret Project (or whatever they choose to call Bones 5).  There has to be a strong interest in smaller stuff, too, and by that I mean wyverns similar to @TaleSpinner's metal one (03659), though I'm not sure how big that one is (no scale markers).

 

It was scaled to match either a Pathfinder Forest Drake or wyvern.  Here it is in my display case with a dryad figure Joy painted for me, and Cinder and RP Beowulf:

Tree of Despair, with friends.....

The tree is actually much smaller than I was expecting.

[NomadZeke]

It may be beneficial the tree isn't larger as there's a LOT of space needed for storage as is..

[NebulousMissy]

I will need to get that tree on retail. I seem to have forgotten to acquire it in the pledge manager.

I hope there will be some news on the estimated arrival time of the EU container. Or if it's already in customs.

I don't really see them beating the April 12th deadline, but with luck Brexit will be delayed again. Still would be great to know a timeline, but sadly I wasn't awake to ask questions in the Reaper Live chat yesterday.

I thought Glitterwolf said that Agent May had brokered a deal with the opposition? Our is that still up in the air?

[NecroMancer]

I kind of forgot everything I got but I'm not checking so that I am surprised when I open my box.

 

I really hope we see a couple test orders being ran soon.

She wants another delay, the EU has to give her that delay. All member countries have to vote for that, and at some point they're not going to do that. Let's just hope today is not that day.

[Disciple of Sakura]

Honestly, the EU should just tell them that they're just cancelling the whole thing and will no longer listen to Britain when it asks to leave, since they can't get their affairs in order...

 

So eagerly awaiting my miniatures. Maybe by the end of next week? I wonder if I'll get it in time to need the zombie monk after all...

[Ratmaster2000]

So, seeing as I haven't got it yet, and no one is talking about it (did no one in East Canada get Chronoscope?) I thought I would go along @Glitterwolf's route and talk about ideas for these particular mini's (or most of them)

(using the numbers in B4 KS page):

301-304 the dino's: Maybe make some kind of human hunting Dino team?

305 - No idea, but if this is the one everyone has been talking about with multiple options, that will be interesting

306-308 - No idea

309-311 - Maybe some kind of Mars attacks vignette?

312- 318 again, no idea

319- I plan on cutting all his spike and making a Jesse Ventura from Predator type figure (cuz I don't have time to bleed haha)

320&322 no idea

321 - Definitely some kind of Monsters Inc. Diorama (along with some earlier bones figs that should do nicely for Sully and mike)

and except for 327, no idea

327 - some kind of Metropolis theme or possibly a retro vignette of that old 80-s star wars disco album:) (on second thought, maybe not haha)

Megan has laid claim to Mossbeard, when he makes his triumphant appearance - she has a plan and a vision for the model, and I don't - so it is in good hands.

 

I am picking up a bit of petrified wood, so Megan has something to use as a reference.

 

I would say Elemental [Earth] would cover it's new type.

 

My comment of 'Woah, what we do last night, man? I'm so stoned!' in a So Cal accent was not appreciated. (And, to be fair, Mossbeard does not look mellow.)

Be aware that petrified wood comes in a very wide range of colors and palettes, depending on the minerals present at the time the petrification process occurred.

@Cyradis can do a much better job of explaining this than I will ever be able to.  Do a web search for pix of petrified woods and you will find all sorts of wood in all sorts of colors.

I got it.  There is are pics of a couple a couple days ago (so like 100 pages back).

I have no real plans for most of them, but can see a fair number coming in handy if I run Savage Rifts again.

If anyone is taking requests, I’d love to see a picture of 437, 438, and 439 from Dreadmere and the crab man from fan favorites. Please and thank you!
