Evilhalfling Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) * Wanders in eating popcorn and looks around.* so probably not launching tomorrow then. Lets see. There should be 2+ prelaunch twitch shows to build hype. A lot of other KS - have a seven day count down, and probably not running at the same time as base boss... Is a Monday or Friday launch more likely ? the first 48 hrs are really important, perhaps not as much for reaper, with their proven track record and fanbase. Im going to guess... Friday, March 18 as launch date. *I have no memories of this place* you would never guess I have done the last 5 Kickstarters, Edited March 1, 2022 by Evilhalfling 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyzolla Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) I was just whinging about this - for some weird reason I thought the KS started today. Am I the only person who's been compulsively checking since Feb 28th? I'm so keen to see what's getting dropped first. I was up at midnight to see if Reaper would open the Kickstarter at 12:01, then I realised that here in Aus we're ahead, just check then, still nothing. I've learnt my lesson from the last one - this time I'm going all in the first time, as hesitating just costs me more in the long run when I end up buying it all (or multiples) anyway... That Bog Shambler looks awesome. I feel like it's going to be a long, long month waiting for the 24th. I've just pulled out my existing Reaper mins though, and my list of still coming 5.5 stuff, and have realised that an extra month may be a good little push to get painting. Turns out what I *really* need are more encounters - the more sweet terrain the better. Edited March 1, 2022 by tommyzolla Correct place to whinge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Khan Artist Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Ha, ha, ha... nope, not the only one checking since 28 February. I'm on pins and needles until the 24th. Hopefully there will be some more pre-reveals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Did someone say "terrain"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YronimosW Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I wasn't expecting it to open today, but I do stop in for a moment a couple times a week just to see the previews. I gotta say, I was hoping a bit to have an excuse to sit this one out and give my budget a break, but the previews are looking too tempting to stay away from, as usual. Must... resist... "take my money" mode.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirithiliel Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 i've been trying to get excited. i'm probably in for very very little on this one. i haven't painted in months, my bones 5 is still sitting mostly unpainted. just haven't felt that creative drive in ages. But i'll at least go in for the big dragons or other fun to paint monsters that'll be a lot more expensive at retail 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2ED Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 @Sirithilielhey man, i know it's easy to lose the spark. If you want to pick any bones 5 to do and have a partner for it, count me in. I'll happily do a paint along with you to get your spirit back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksbsnowowl Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Not a whole lot of Bones 6 model previews tonight. The out-of-focus minis in the background here are a Bones 6 tease. Looks like soldiers or guards? On second thought, it might be an army of undead… Here’s another prospective stretch goal graphic. The dollar value is just a placeholder. Zoomed in a touch to try and make the text legible. These ‘badges’ are emblems for the various parts of the KS. The center one is for the Core Set. Five of the others are expansions, and one (probably the scales and coins) is for add-ons. Looks like those begging for an Egyptian expansion may get their wish. The bottom left emblem is a scarab in a cartouche-like background. The unicorn with the insect wings is from an old Reaper magazine/catalog from the early/mid-90’s, and I’m guessing that will be indicative of the Faerie expansion they’ve been hinting at. It was mentioned that the massive 30th anniversary dragon (the Tyrannosaurus-looking one) will have a companion piece that goes with it. That spawned cries of ‘Dragons DO Share’ from the comments. I’d love it if he came with terrain, but Reaper didn’t actually say that. Ed said they would reveal the initial 30 mini's of the Core Set next week. Lastly, there was a new Bones 6 ‘title card’ animatic shown. Here is one frame of it. Edited March 11, 2022 by ksbsnowowl 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksbsnowowl Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 One more look at this graphic. My tablet seemed to take a better screenshot than my phone did. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guesses for the epansion are Fey (unicorn) Demon Generic type fantasy monsters Desert/Egyptian (scarab) Undead (Raven w/bone, probably where the mausoleum will be) And the scales are the add ons 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearsightedgiraffe Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I 100% agree with Goddestio. We know they have some sort of wandering monsters thing planned- which works well for the demon. And the scales for the add on matches with what Ron said. I suppose the other question is what else they might either have planned, or be open to planning? Bones 5 had 7 expansions, including the fan favourites. I would personally be happier with slightly fewer expansions and more encounters- especially with the expansion notably missing as Chronoscope.

Looks like resculpts from their Warlord range. I think this will be the third version of King Axehelm in Bones now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Guindyloo Posted March 11, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hey peeps, I'm going to lock this thread and direct you over to this one: https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/97887-reaper-bones-6-enthusiasm-and-commentary-thread-unlocks-3122/ I think it's confusing to have two topics open for the same subject. Please feel free to continue on any conversations from here over to there. I'm not going to move any posts at this time because it makes the timeline confusing. (And also I am absolutely terrible at moving posts and am more likely to just accidentally delete them altogether. 😛) 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
