That’s how I’m sculpting her (though some of the ropes will be a part of her), but it is not possible to know how China will choose to recut the model, so no guarantees. 

 

 

 

Yes, that should work. The timbers on the far end of the long bar are a bit rough, but they don’t extend much past the post. 

 

 

@GHarris:  Love the cockatrice set. Nice pixel pushing there!

 

Thank you sir! Your mermaid bar is looking fantastic, were there any other goodies in the Kickstarter that you worked on that I missed?

[Club]

For the first time ever, I'm getting out of bones under $500; probably closer to $350 actually.

 

I'd love the dragons, but can't justify them; several sets are also redundant with what I have, and there really isn't much point to display pieces if you don't have somewhere to display them

[klarg1]

I missed the last few hours at the end, which is sad. It looks like a lot of cool stuff was added in the closing moments, including a bunch of things that would probably have gotten me to pledge a little higher.

 

Glad to have them available though.

Some of the scales/sizes in fan favorites are hard to make out.

 

 

 

 

 

I absolutely love it.

 

My one complaint is that I can't have it now.

I thought you guys might like a closer shot of the Cockatrice mini encounter that I worked on! I'm glad I got new pictures in on time. I had a lot of fun doing these guys! The Cockatrices were based on some excellent Izzy artwork, the nest was Ron's suggestion, and I thought it would be fun to include a little egg thief! 

 

It amuses me to think that the Halfling left behind the other treasures because, to him, the giant egg for second breakfast WAS the treasure! I didn't sculpt him specifically as a "statue" because I thought I would leave it to the painter to decide if he made his escape or not...

 

I hope you all enjoy them!

 

 

 

... is it wrong that I want to paint those cockatrices up like Fierys from Labyrinth? They have a very Henson studio vibe to them for some reason. 

[StarFyre]

So my list (not including what my friend wants):

- all 5 main chromatic dragons

- Goroloth

- Gem Dragon (TBD - may remove)

- Greek Odyssey

- Storm Giant

- Dark Depths

- Arakoth

- Constructs (split from core)

- Monsters (split from core)

- Living Dead (split from core)

- Yog-Sothoth

- Fan Favourites (TBD - may remove, or keep 2 models and sell the rest)

- Treasure Golem

- Mounted Wraiths

- Overgourd

- Kaiju Chaos (just to resell)

 

I think i can prob cover half my cost or a bit more with the stuff i dont want and will sell, so not bad.  My total with all above... $334 cut it in half, pretty good :)
 

i must say kinda surprised at how small the demogorgon is.  100 mm... its like 3.5 inches. 

 

i wonder what we missed out on.

Love the cockatrices so much! They would make great familiars. Really tempting to get Fan Favorites, we were out gaming with friends all day so I didn't see them until after the KS closed.

 

We are in for... a lot for our first KS. Probably:

-Core

-All 5 gargantuan dragons

-Shadow dragon

-Greek Odyssey

-Dungeon Dwellers

-Mammoth (2)

-Goroloth

-Dragonfolk

-Spider encounter

-Arakoth

-extra Gem Dragon

-Succubi/Incubi

 

And probably more. Hubby just got a big unexpected bonus from work and we're tempted to buy the Nautical Campaign in Several Boxes Pack (ship, Dark Depths [I love the sea giant so much and it's nearly worth $50 itself], Brinewind, Brinewind extras, sirens)... Maybe in 2 years we'll want to stage our own remix of our mediocre Adventurers' League GM's version of Ghosts of Saltmarsh.

I just want to thank all of Reaper for pulling off a fantastic Kickstarter, especially @ladystorm for being quick on the draw with posting updates to the Information thread. @Reaper Ron toiled endlessly during the Countdown Party to try to keep up with updating stretch goals and the maps. Special thanks to @Crowley, @rubegon, and all the others both here and on Facebook that provided all of us with stats and spreadsheets to follow the trends. Yay math! ALso a shoutout to the mods who worked endlessly to modbat naughtiness in to oblivion. It's not an easy job, but I appreciate you all for doing so.

 

And a big congratulations to our very own @buglips*the*goblin for having to be held to his word that he would get a tattoo if he got his own figure! Just think of it as paint being injected instead of being ingested!

 

And now.........sleep. *snaps fingers* Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........................

[WhiteWulfe]

Don't forget to thank @Reaper Justin for keeping everyone in line (more or less) and manning all the tech for the Twitch streams!

Just now finally catching up with today’s going ons.

Had to work today so didn’t catch much of it Live.

 

I think my list of wants will be quite big, but I’ll have to see what my finances allow for through the next year the pledge manager is open.

Is it possible to have 2 fit roughly I to a rectangular gle or are there any weird edges on the unseen side?

I was wondering the exact same thing as I was wanting two of this expansion.

And that’s the answer I was hoping for too. Such a great looking bar.

 

To bring it up to modern times, all it would need are a couple of surfboards leaning against one end.

Great character you’ve given your sculpts.

 

I find I’m really enjoying all these little miniature vignettes that Reaper is having various sculptors do.

Oh course now that there is a buglips 
We need minis for all the forumites...

 

Well there is a 1:6 scale of Haldir from Weta does that count?

Well, I guess that one guy got his demon chickens...

 

I guess I'll have to remember that the REALLY squeaky wheels get the grease next time. I figured having Ron the art director reply and say he liked my idea was a good sign, and I could lay off proposing it thereafter. 

 

Next time I'll be more persistent. (But not chimera-spamming update lurker annoying...)

 

My buy list is massive (this is my first Kickstarter ever), but I'll post it in the morning.

When the "Underwater Expansion" first popped up I thought to myself "oh great, everybody hates underwater content, that's a waste". Fast forward till now, I ended up pledging for Dark Depths, Brinewind, Brinewind Extras, and the bloody ship. Before this is all over I'll probably add fan favorites to the basket, might depend on how well that finished not-demogorgon looks like.

 

This was my first Kickstarter (Bones or otherwise), and it's been actually fun to follow this through, cheers to everyone!

You can get started now with the existing underwater figures, like the Kraken or the Dragon Turtle, and a swarm of fishmen, so that your adventurers are ready to put to sea as soon as the ship arrives...

You made it purple, but that's not even a joke, is it?  

 

It's a very likely scenario!

Best news I heard today, thank you.

 

I think the Egyptian could be saved for B6, have an entire expansion or theme around that.

 

I will get the Desert of the Dead Mummy Army next year, so I'm fine with the Reaper Egyptian stuff coming a little later.
