UPDATE #17

Scale Images, Part 1

Posted by Reaper Miniatures

October 5, 2019

Creator

Thanks everyone for your feedback and support! 

We're starting the process to include some figures  in the images for scaling. This should give you a pretty good idea as to the size of some of these Bones 5 models.

We'll be adding new images throughout the rest of the campaign. We will also be hosting them on www.reapermini.com very soon for easy reference.

Please keep in mind that many of these prints are first draft/volumetric prints and some details may change; we will be transparent if there are any changes in size and/or detail.

This model shows the finalized tail that is not shown in the Options graphic; we will update as soon as we can.

Thanks for being such fantastic backers! Stay tuned for more cool stuff coming down the pike!

UPDATE #18

I raided Ron's desk and shot pics!

After Ron left today I just happened to be near his office, and the door just happened to be open, and peeking in I happened to spy some models we have seen and some we haven't seen. So I whisk them to the studio for some light, shot some photos and returned them to their exact spot on his desk so he will never know :) -Ed

New Bones 5 Stone Golem on the right :)

UPDATE #27

Reaper Pledge Manager Now Live!

Posted by Reaper Miniatures

October 8, 2019

Introducing the Reaper Pledge Manager website for Bones 5!

Reaper Pledge Manager

Right now this is only a calculator, an aid to help you add up your selections.  *Shipping costs will be added very soon, as we are finalizing one last shipping partner.*

An important note:  When setting up your Reaper Pledge Manager account you MUST use the same email address that you used to set up your Kickstarter account.  This will be critical later for us to sync that data up between Kickstarter’s data and our data.

You will need to return to the Reaper Pledge Manager website, log in and lock in your account sometime after the Bones 5 Kickstarter ends  and after we sync the data.

Using the Reaper Pledge Manager Website

The Top Bar (from right to left):

View Box will take you to Your Box. When viewing Your Box this button will return you to the Rewards List.

The text in the center will give you totals and clicking it will take you to Your Box and return you to the Rewards List as well.

The green "K" will return you to Kickstarter

Center Top:

Add 1 of Everything will add all current Rewards to Your Box.  Be careful, this will add one of everything every time you push the button!

The List:

Starting with the Core Set, all possible items can be selected.  Remember if you want a Core Set you must select one!  Just click the red button on each item you want.  The button shows you the individual amount for that item.

This section is updated with each unlocked stretch goal.  Return frequently to see more items.

The Box:

If you have selected items Your Box will display them and let you Remove or Add items.  You can see your total at the bottom.

Under the total is a red “Clear Box” bar.  Clicking this will empty Your Box.  It will verify that you want to do this in case you accidentally press it by mistake.

And, the yellow bar returns you to Kickstarter.

Quote

Question about materials: If the Dragon is in a translucent plastic does that confirm it is going to be the Bones-Soft grade of plastic?
      

Follow up: Is there even such a thing as Bones-Black stiffness but translucent?

No, it does not confirm that it will be Original Bones material.   

Yes, the Bones Black material can be produced translucent.

For the new Pledge Manager, can someone add a feedback spot denoting that you are logged in and who you are?

 

I had my stuff put in and now my box is cleared out.  However, I don't know if it's my account that it's viewing since it doesn't give any feedback.

That said on my phone it has my box still.  So I don't know what is going on.

The bridge in Encounter: The Bridge Troll's Toll has been shown with different cobblestone textures on each half of the bridge. There has been much speculation about this, but I haven't seen any official comment. Will the final model have a single cobblestone texture all the way across?
