Cyradis Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I don't particularly care if the lighthouse/dragon is 9inches or 12inches or whatnot. Just a general order of magnitude is sufficient. Is it Big, or BIG? Argent from Bones IV had to change from plan, but was still plenty BIG as BIG DRAGON. Cool figures at decent price? Yeah that's not going to be what I fuss over. If it was a promise of a 12inch dragon and get a 2inch dragon, yeah okay perhaps. But.... meh. A dragon that can swallow a player can be in a range of Big sizes. A lighthouse that adventurers can go up can be in a range of sizes. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkingbass Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I’m not a DM yet, so I don’t know if I need a big lighthouse, but it’s a great flexible piece. Not a bad price either. I’m really happy with the recent additions to the core, like the newts and the raptorkin. As it’s my first KS, I’m happy to see so many cool minis get added to the core. I’ll have my very first pile of shame! 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I value the money I earn enough that the value of things I choose to spend it on are carefully considered, my personal valuation of something is based on what I'm told I'm buying, and if that thing does not live up to expectations at a later date due to artistic interpretation or the demands of manufacture then I will make my feelings about it known, and those feelings will color my future expectations and valuations. 24 minutes ago, Walkingbass said: I’m not a DM yet, so I don’t know if I need a big lighthouse, but it’s a great flexible piece.

Olaf the Stout Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 My experience from Reaper Bones is that, if there is a size change, they've ended up bigger than originally expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirithiliel Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Waffling on if I should get the lighthouse. We would never use it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Gnome Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 5 hours ago, Fnordlover said: That hasn't been my experience in the last two Bones Kickstarters, though I do a little trading. I have been surprised both by how hard it can be to get Reaper Bones KS on eBay.de yet how little folks will pay when we put Reaper Bones KS pieces we do not want on eBay.de. Maybe it is the German market compared to the US and UK markets but for example I have not found the Reaper Bones V Chronoscope set on eBay.com, .uk or .de so far. And yet we got a big Reaper Bones IV bundle, including the Stygian barge (which I have seen only a couple of times on the various different ebay sites) for a remarkably low price second hand. The lighthouse is brilliant and looks like it may push me into asking Mrs. GG to reconsider our pledge goals for this KS. It is competing with our big budgeting for Dwarven Forge Wildlands going to retail scheduled for late May/early June as well as various other smaller projects. The Galladoria KS has already been sidelined for us thanks to these budgeting issues. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would never use it If the brazier will be removable, it should work quite well as a watch tower, or even some sort of hermit's abode. Barring that it could be a lighthouse in a park of some sort of an aristocrat who had an unfulfilled dream of being a sea captain. There is some potential of using it outside of a seaside campaign. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the walrus can be put on a flight base, and with a little knife-work, add some hard-mount points to the shoulders for a grenade launcher and a minigun, then just slap on the HUD visor and... what? 5 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonWyrm Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I wanted to say that we are missing giants in this kickstarter, until I realised we are missing giants as add-ons since all the giants are currently in the expansions. The skeleton giant and Egyptian gods. It does seem like we are missing some medium sized add-ons this kickstarter. We have human sized groups, some nice encounters and two large add-ons. Which is interesting as that was what I remember people being interested in last couple kickstarters. Furthermore, the core set really lacks the same amount of larger scaled figures. Sure it has a decent amount of medium sized monster but compared to gaunt in Bones 4 and the zombie giant + dragons in Bones 5 it seems a little more targeted at smaller figures. The recent updates: The drake looks really nice and now when I can actually see the tail it looks quite good. Especially the back scales. I like what they did with the flying carpet, thought I fear bones material warpage may cause issue. Also the teaser from the latest updated: A rattle snake based snake woman/man! (intuition pushes towards woman) For some reason it makes me think they will be in the Hakir expansion 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guyra Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Love that they made the lighthouse! That's going to be one I'll be getting, at least. I also like the Raptorkin! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A walrus does not need a flight base or minigun to be terrifying. Blubber tusks and spears Out of everything they have put out to date the drake is the one thing other than stirges that has caught my eye. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearsman6 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I really like that turnaround on the carpet. It was smart to make a 1-inch base for in the middle too. Just all around good. I'm probably grabbing that set now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still hoping for more of a core set split up, but this is a good start. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
