He's not in any Bones 5 set yet. If you recall, the sword-wielding skeleton was initially left off the Dungeon Dwellers graphic. I almost wonder if it was supposed to be the bow-wielder, but in the rush to correct the graphic, they put the wrong one on?

 

(Pure speculation on my part. The set's seemingly purposeful aligning with Sunless Citadel & Forge of Fury in Tales from the Yawning Portal leads me to believe it is true, as there are skeleton archers in one of the modules.)

Rictus was accidentally left out of that picture.  He was the first mini released to the new Dungeon Dweller line.  He was the January 2018 freebie, and is even involved in the adventure they put out (that's been "lost" since the redo of their website...)

Not anymore!

 

 

My former wave 3 is open, though.

Congrats! I was hoping someone here would grab it.

 

With my having to lower my initial pledge because of my job transfer, and with waves not being important to those of us in Canada, I figured someone else would gain more from it.

There comes a point when it is time to make a commitment.

Makes it harder on Reaper to figure estimates of final orders when there are a lot of $1 = uncommitted pledges still on the books a month before the Pledge Manager closes.

I've updated the infographic I made last night. It's posted over on the information thread.

Very nice - I like the general, vague time frames:  they give a pretty good idea of what to expect, without giving any reasonable impression that Reaper will do any of these things on a specific date - a great compromise!

We're on the brink of the last couple days, when we should expect a lot of those $1 backers to climb down off the fence and actually put their money where their mouth is, or back out....  Sure, there'll be a lot of backers who won't know what they're doing for months yet, but still....

In any case, there are still hundreds of $1 pledges left, and thousands of $40 pledges (just enough money for those exclusive learn-to-paint kits!)

It has been striking me as a bit odd anyway that in the entire Dungeon Dwellers expansion, there's only that one skeleton... I almost wonder if maybe there were supposed to have been a couple of them, but all but one got voted off the Dungeon Dweller island and replaced by someone else.

Here's an updated list of the teased/rumored/predicted items, with links to screenshots - "(NWS)" denotes links to screenshots that aren't work/family safe, so click them at your own discretion - the teased human pirates just appeared in Brinewind 2/3, and the "white dragon" was just revealed as "Ildraedis the Devourer":

 

• "red dragon"
• godzilla model
• Brinewind 3/3
  • a large boat (probably part of Brinewind, but not confirmed?)
  • Otter-Pirates (probably part of Brinewind?)
  • Catfolk Pirates (probably part of Brinewind?)
  • alligator man (possibly part of Brinewind?)
• a lovely group of Nereids (NSW) (possibly part of Brinewind?)
• a pair of hooded wraiths on horseback with skeleton archer
• a group of 3 succubi (NSW) and  three NSW Incubi (which seem all but completely confirmed to be part of the same six-figure set, probably an option?)
• a screenshot of Santa Claus and a giant muscular cyborg-looking guy with a steampunkish hammer/club (apparently Chronoscope?)
• a werewolf
• a screenshot of a (ghoul-themed?) bone-pit
• a screenshot of some terrain including a ruined wall and staircase (possibly part of the bone-pit?)
• Sophie's Pizza Dice (hinted with the comic and previewed at ReaperCon?)

 

Rumored items:

• Sophie (rumored, possibly part of the Core Set?  Alternatively, there's no reason a pirate Sophie couldn't appear in Brinewind...)
• a Rakhshasa (?) Cheshire Cat (apparently from a separate project by the artist and shown off at Reapercon, and unlikely to appear in this Kickstarter)
• A "fan favorites 2" expansion (it seems the Reapers talked about maybe doing this on a video I've not seen, with nothing more definite yet?)
• A rumored Chronoscope set, possibly with a pulp/mythos theme.  (This was apparently teased in a video, but I didn't see the video for myself.)
• a rumored Model A car (apparently teased in a video I didn't see for myself; possibly part of a Chronoscope/pulp/Mythos encounter?)
• I thought I saw someone say there might be more Kid Adventurers coming up, but that looked unconfirmed and rumorish; if true, these seem likely to be Core Set figures....
• another rumored piece of siege equipment, possibly a battering ram?

 

 

Note that just because Reaper teased something, doesn't mean it will appear in this Kickstarter, and these teases may be incomplete or otherwise subject to change without warning, so don't get attached to any of the above.

 

That said, I expect that at least most of the stuff with screenshots will get unlocked before the Kickstarter ends:  these teased items are getting revealed pretty quickly now, and it looks likely that Brinewind 3/3 will include a lot of these!  An option or two and an encounter or two would account for a lot of the others.

 

As always, the rumored items could very likely be wishful thinking, a "game of telephones" gone wrong, or other fan shenanigans, so I wouldn't believe them until Reaper actually teases some screenshots or mentions them in an official update.

 

 

Have either of these models shown up yet?

 

These are not my pictures.  They were in one of the Reapercon picture threads.

700 Backers to 17,745 and loot golem.

[WhiteWulfe]

I'm in at the $1 pledge because that was the only real option at the time that wasn't $120 USD minimum (or like, $158ish CAD...) 

[YronimosW]

Well, there's two more that somehow managed to sneak away from the list of teased images in the old Enthusiasm thread!

I assumed they would show up in the Daimyo Expansion.  Instead we got dinosaur samurai

[YronimosW]

I was thinking they looked vaguely like they were dressed up for the Greek set - if I'd seen them before the Greek set was fully revealed, I'd have been wondering what sort of Greek myth-monsters I was looking at.

 

I'm tempted to use dino-people as my go-to punchline for everything

 

I wonder if those guys are part of the same set as the succubi and incubi?  I don't know...  maybe a hell-themed encounter, or even expansion?  I'm betting not, but these teased figures are beginning to fracture into a wider and wider range of themes, and I can't imagine they're all going to be two- and three-figure options....

They are such great minis though... They deserve more love!

[Evilhalfling]

im really interested on the upcoming paint set. 

This is a set of Annes favorite colors right?  or was that just a rumor.

for comparison my fav reaper colors: 

Russet brown (burnt umber), Ultramarine shadow, Pure white, Pure black, brown liner, carnage red, moth green. copper verdigris, stone grey, midnight blue, snow shadow.  NMM gold (or Palamino gold) 

 

I'm at the 1$ pledge level but the 40$ ould have been fine.  officially I have 32$ pledged for my must-haves. (although I may increase it before the end. 

I'll pledge for the Core set in month 2, 

and if I add an expansion it will be next year. (still on the fence for both Deeps and Greeks)

Some of us are at the $1 level because we can’t afford to put a lot of money in it now, and hope to add more in the pledge manager this year. I want most of the stuff on the KS. I can afford a dragon.

Those are SICK!  ... And I must have them!

 

Any idea what size they are? I would assume Large, but I REALLY hope they're Medium.
