I would like some more living ship crew. I am already thinking 2x brinewind... maybe i can convert some villagers in to crew....

 

I have been looking at the villagers and was thinking the same thing.

Nothing wrong with a few of the civvies, I mean, when at Sea and manning the ship doing your job you don't need to wander around carrying weapons all the time.

The reason for the development of the folding sheepshank knife with marlinspike.

 

Correction: the blade is actually a sheepsFOOT blade, the knot is a sheepshank.

I see the Reapercon Mouseling as somewhere between the mouselings we've come to know and love [at least that's the way some of us feel about them] and the chibi figures.

It's definitely on a scale that is easier for aging eyes to paint.

GEM

More importantly the larger mouslings are definitely on a scale that is easier for VERY YOUNG eyes and hands to paint.

 

GREAT training minis!

[kristof65]

It's not the size of the new mouslings that bothers me as much as it is the change in size. Reaper has a nice established line at the smaller size, so the larger ones are effectively a new line. 

Since they have the same name, this is going to cause problems.

They're EXTREME Mouslings!

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?)
• a lovely group of Nereids (NSW) (possibly part of Brinewind?)
• a pair of hooded wraiths on horseback in a preview image
• 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 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 "fan favorites 2" expansion (I think this might be wishful thinking from fans - I don't think I've seen any indication that Reaper has teased this)
• 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.

 

 

Does anybody remember the pictures from ReaperCon of the female bandit minis? They looked like the mini in cloak and cowl from the Female NPCs add-on, but one was drawing her bow and one had a sword and a shield. Did I hallucinate those, or were they real?
