I have been asking for striges since Bones 1. Glad to see them finally making an appearance. As for other stuff, I am going to wait and see. In general the stuff that is going to convince me is Eberron (could use more Rakshasas/changelings/shifters/warforged/etc) and set pieces/scatter that has compatibility with Dwarven Forge (the recent Wildlands campaign as well as the upcoming Cities KS).

Just a suggestion, but I used Reaper's Bones "Fly Demons", painted as giant bees, for the Giant Wasps in Frostgrave.

 

 

Dang, don't mean to get too off topic but those actually do look great as wasps.  Might have to do that with mine.

....would still like some big ol' giant wasps in Bones 6 though.

(and some bigger fly demons)

Didn't Reaper show off some giant wasps a while back, post Bones 5? I'm thinking it was around the time of the coronavirus not-beholder and the toilet paper mimics.

Antho Murder Hornet sculpts were revealed (in metal?) in late January or February 2020 on Reaper Live. Nothing has been seen of them since.

A few previews from tonight’s stream...

It was revealed tonight that Bones 6 will be partly produced in SioCast (Bones USA), and partly overseas. 

 

A Korred, which will be in an expansion, and might just be indicative of the theme of that expansion (i.e. - Fey/Faerie)

A Giant Ant. It will be a core set stretch goal. They might inject them in red plastic, so you could throw a wash on them, then slap them down on the table.

The big dragon, which is sort of a Reaper anniversary commemorative.

Finally, a Bones USA multi-part knight, similar to the multi-part pirates from last year’s ReaperCon. He will be a stretch goal of some sort (Core? They didn’t elaborate)

See y’all at the Green Griffin Inn!

Yesss.   That's another one from the wishlist!  Thanks Reaper! 

 

If I can push my luck...a medium base worker and a large base solider would be neat.

 

EDIT:  HOLY MOLEY that's a big dragon.  Please stay that size.  Another one from the wish list!

I'm really hoping for Redcaps in the Fey expansion.


Same. Give me a troop of ‘em. Wielding oversized axes and scythes. 
 

It will be interesting to see what the breakdown of materials usage is in the KS. Will Bones USA only be used for individual add-ons? Or will it be like Bones 4, where they go for making a whole expansion or two out of a new material?

"THEM! THEM!"

 

I would have to imagine that overseas (Chinese?) manufacturing is best suited for mass-producing popular items and perhaps large models (e.g. dragons?), while Bones USA seems like it's mostly been used for smaller batches and smaller figures (at least, so far.)  So, maybe certain add-ons and expansions might be Bones USA, while foreign manufacturing will brute-force its way through big-ticket items?

 

The Korred and multi-part warrior are great stuff - looking forward to those!

My thoughts immediately went back to the old Trampier "Emirikol the Chaotic" artwork in the 1e AD&D DMG when the title of the KS was announced.  Yes kids, I'm THAT old and THAT nerdy . . .

 

Seriously though, if Reaper's going to run with an old school vibe for at least part of the KS, then I'll just simplify things for everyone and mail them my wallet . . .

Gotta say, I'm a big fan of the new for-scale figure. Not only is he useful. But hopefully he saves us from waves of comments of "how big is this?"

I think that opinion will be shared by 99% of us. That 1% probably likes smelling stanky shoes.

Coming in here all tl;dr, so apologies, but any word if they're gonna scrap or rearrange waves this time? I honestly don't even care about when my order ships, but if there's waves I'm gonna feel compelled to try to hop on a first. I know myself all too well lol. And after the cluster this last time that saw my Wave 1 among the last out the door I'm hoping they break it up more broadly or something at least. It'd be significantly cheaper than therapy for me.
