But I meant a rock. This is me we're talking about...  I like rocs. But... rocks. 

 

You could always paint a roc up like a rock. Something sedimentary might look cool with the various feathers.

 

Then glue it to the hut...

Why bother gluing on anything,  it it tilts back and forth, it will have a natural rock to it.

I just checked my paints. I ordered both sets and everything arrived in the correct quantities, but they are labeled oddly. 

Pledge manager set A was labeled: Set 2A, Set 2B.

Pledge manager set B was labeled: Set 1A, Set 1B.

Does anyone know why the counter isn't moving?

We don't, although we have hypotheses. Things seem to be shipping just fine without the tracker's involvement, though.

The best guess ive seen put forth is that the move to the new warehouse, and the new internet hookup they had to do, messed up the auto update link to the tracker.

I seem to remember the latest batch of Reaper giants being more tailored to D&D 3 / Pathfinder sizes since the original sculpts were too small.

 

3.X Giants and Pathfinder Giants were only Large except Cloud and Storm Giants.  The original Bones 1 Giants matched that description.  5E upped their size (or returned it to 2E) and Bones 3 updated their size to reflect the now Huge Giants.  Then the new Wizkids minis came out that were even bigger.

3.x and Pathfinder giants Frost and Fire giants are Large creatures, taking up a 2" diameter base. 5e apparently upgraded them to "Huge" or occupying a 3" diameter base, which is why Reaper's giants in Bones 3+ are larger. Giants created prior to Bones 3 were built for 3.x/PF, but future giants will be too large to be standard giants for those games, as they're designed for 5e instead.

yeah i've been asking for the storm giant they showed a few months ago to be scaled up to match storm giants from Gale Force 9 (whose collector series are also official D&D). their storm giant is like an inch taller than the prototype 3d printed one reaper showed.

Hmmmm. My Bones order appears to have been "un-shipped." UPS is now telling me they don't have it and don't know when they'll get it. I wonder how that happened... probably missed the truck or something.

In 2E giants were huge sized.  They downgraded them in 3.5 and brought them back in 5E

I wonder if they had a label mixup with one person thinking there was a paint set 1 and paint set 2, but there was supposed to be an A and a B paint set. I got a 1B and a 2B, because all I ordered was paint set B, but 2B had A paint in it (matches you).

Remind me to keep taking pictures of the chicken-hut. It does stand up, but I am noticing that it has a lean - I am wondering if the lean will increase with time or not. If so, I'll need to stabilize it by putting a rock on its butt. 

 

So... instead of a Chicken-hut, it's a Chicken-lean-to?

Am I the only one who liked the size of the Bones 1 Giants?
