New Core Set Goals: Social Media and Backers

Reaper MiniaturesCreator

October 18, 2019

We're announcing two new goals to get more stuff for the Core Set!

First, if we can hit 17,745 backers, we'll add this Loot Golem by Chris Lewis to the Core Set! What's the significance of 17,745? That beats our previous number of backers from our biggest campaign, Bones 1! We have about 2 weeks to get 2000 more backers! Social Media links at the bottom of this update!

Social Media links at the bottom of this update!

At the same time, if we can get 5,000 social media engagements, we'll be adding this Gem Dragon by Christine Van Patten to the Core Set! The Gem Dragon sits on a 2" round base and will come in a translucent color (undetermined at this time).

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.

Any answers on this cross-platform/device login and keeping our pledges?

Looking ahead at $2,190,000 we have another set: Encounter at Gallowgard featuring models by Kevin Williams and Bobby Jackson. The king's scout has been ordered to investigate the mysterious goings-on at the ruins of Gallowgard. As the scout approaches, the decaying drawbridge drops and a horde of shambling skeletons marches forward, led by the terrible Lord Karastan the Deathless!

Just a quick update on some rewards!

Let's take a good look at the volumetric print of Arakoth the Ancient. Sir Forscale is in the photo for reference. You can also see the Reaper Bones model of the giant spider #77395 Cadirith for a size comparison.

Next up is a photo of the print of the Hammerfist Catapult Option. Again, Sir Forscale is modeling the Hammefist Catapult. Probably to protect himself from the horde of dragons approaching!

The Hammerfist Catapult is a $6 Option.

Several folks have wondered about what the Sons of Barty are from the Brinewind Expansion. Here's a quick rundown of the Sons of Barty written by Joseph "Dreadmere" Wolf. The Sons of Barty were sculpted by Jason Wiebe.

Update #52 has the info.

Note, that green measurement line says 78.2 cm (that's 30.78 inches), so Brother Dave wasn't far off.

This is a lovely ship. I do have a a dimensions question for @CAVBOSS or @Reaper Ron to discuss with Chris Lewis.

**How much clearance is there going to be in that balustrade area?

I am not sure whether to call it the Taff Rail, The Captain’s Walk, or what. But the balcony surrounding the great cabin at the stern. It’s on the main deck level. Another way to ask the same question is:

**What is the widest figure Base that area will accommodate?

Pennies, 20mm rounds, 25mm rounds, 30mm rounds? Maybe the Reaper Brain Trust needs to carefully ponder this? Maybe do a poll at some point?

If it is a realistic dimension I would be surprised any figure Base ***would fit. If it was the 31mm for the big bases that might be so wide that it looked strange. If this was asked and answered somewhere else my apologies (and somebody tell where to move this post).

(***On a real ship the feature would be less wide than a hallway in a house...3 feet at most [15mm] ...but a big 30mm base like the ones supplied with Chronoscope figures equates to a 6 foot wide Captain’s Walk...huge! )
