Good thought, but nothing in Spam

 

IIRC, this time you have to set up your account all over again.  They didn't save your account info from Bones 4.

I've heard that there's going to be different versions of the ship available in the PM. When will these various options be available to add in the PM?

[Marc]

Can’t recall if I asked this before, but ... do we know yet when the PM closes? Basically, how long do we have to look in our selections?

 

Thanks!

August 31, 2020 unless they specify otherwise.  The date may change, but hasn't yet.

I'm trying to assess my base boss needs before i close out.  I am getting a large order considering I play Ad&d , but do not have much painting experience.  Have only a few metal and plastic minis myself, I am not sure by looking at a 2D rendering which minis are made that really ought to have a base and which ones should be able to stand on their own.  What are some good assumption some of you could recommend that I make?  Some examples of decisions I need to make:  item 1006 looks like his built in base is sufficient, but item 1010 looks like it might not balance well without a 1 inch base.   Then there are the many humanoids that are on ellipse shaped bases, not on bases at all really, like 1019 and 1024.  I realize the Core Set comes with some bases, but i'm also getting a lot of options and expansion sets.  Are all the dragons going to need 3-inch or larger bases?  I can't see item 1030 balancing at all without one, but i don't know if it needs 2 inch or 3 inch.  Once I get my order, I don't want to buy anything from Reaper (except paint supplies) for years.  I will be set for retirement nearly.  (I know, I say that, then Bones 6 will be tempting me.)  So anyway, I was hoping to get these bases and not have to order them later and don't want to tell myself to buy minis just because i over-purchased on bases.   Any pointers would be appreciated.  I will be working on my own estimations in a spreadsheet, though it will feel like a shot in the dark.

I personally base all my miniatures, rather than relying on intetegral bases, because I want uniform round bases for my minis.

December 1st is the new deadline.

 

However, if you lock stuff in by the end of this month, it will really help Reaper with their pre-production numbers they will send to the factory. 

 

Huzzah!

I thought the update said December 1st?  That's what update 99 says :)

Thanks for catching that, it was a slip of the finger I forgot to correct.

No worries at all.  You got me excited there for a moment that they pushed it to the end of the year

Anyone have any better/newer pictures of Yog-Sothoth? I thought I saw a glimpse of it in a stream but nothing too detailed. I remember its back looked super cool! 

 

Probably one of the ones I’m most excited about, like Nyarly from B4.

I want to say that Michael Proctor held up the model in last weeks Reaper Live episode, or the week before. Because Ron was reacting to a question about the missing Shogoth mini in the Chronoscope group shot. 
 

There are shots in this thread when they did the turn around back in 2019. But I’ll have to go look for the screen shots on my computer to easily get you a timeframe for that episode.

Group shot, not group broccoli...

What was the final total on the # of models in the core set?

Lots. 

 

Spoiler

 

Around 144, I'd say.

There were a couple more that didn’t make it into that image as well, IIRC
