Reaper Bones Kickstarter

...
Also... so many dragons!

Thumbs up for the dragons!... There is always a good reason to play a game when you know there is a dragon in the end…

I got the Pathfinder dragon myself since I love the look. I'm hoping the plastic tail can be modified without too much pain to fit on a Heroscape peanut base. Then I can have me a cool Zelrig proxy.

My wife finally checked out the choices when I was in the pledge manager. She wanted female figures she can play (Yes!), which the vampire pledge covers well. She also surprised me by saying I should go in extra for a second carrying case and get Cthulhu (which she wants to paint). I guess the stars were right.

I'm SO happy I grabbed the Kaladrax and C'thulhu just before the end





And this is just the prototype. His ribs will be less solid, and his maw will be open!

Happy Day!! My order from Reaper came in today (not the kickstarter). I wanted some Bones that weren't in the Vampire set, plus a few other minis I wanted for Forbidden Island.



I bought a minotaur bones, 2 werewolf bones, 2 troll bones. I like the detail on these. They are, as you know, a bit bendy, but not that much really. More than the D&D minis, but they're still pretty solid. I'm pleased with the quality. Can't wait to get started on them.

Also bought 1 illithid, and it came pre-painted! I didn't know they were pre-painted lol, looks wicked! And an Orc shaman (it was the only wizard I couldn't substitute with the Vampire deal)
I got a promotional Sophie Pirate and a dark green "christmas wreath" promo color.
The other 6 are an engineer, pilot, runner/courier, diver, explorer and navigator for my Forbidden Island game. I posted pics here.

Nice haul! I was supposed to get in on the Reaper Christmas deal, and then I forgot! Enjoy your Sophie.

I'm a big fan of the Minotaur. With a simple sword weapon-swap for the left hand and a bit of greenstuff for details such as the shoulder armor, you can make something that fairly resembles the Minotaur figure that was planned for the unreleased Wizard Expansion Pack. Conversion wouldn't even be necessary, as it looks cool just as it is, and would fight the same. Here's a link to the info revealed by Toco and the original art, in case you or anybody else hasn't seen it yet.

The giant spider also could proxy very well for the Giant Spider art by Kueker. Since Bones figures can be heated, repositioned, and then frozen into a new pose easily with hot and cold water, it would be do-able to change the pose and match the planned Hero Quest spider.

The Bones Fulumbar, the Dwarf Warrior with the hammer and shield doesn't perfectly match the hammer-weilding Dwarven Warrior drawn by Rick Grayson, but it has the right weapon and other similarities.

I don't know what the boss would have been for the Dwarven Quest Pack, but a spell-casting dragon would have been as cool as the Frozen Horror. The Bones Young Fire Dragon looks like it would fit on two squares as a Giant Wolf does. I wonder how big it is.

I got the pathfinder red dragon too, and the ice giants. that'll make an excellent frozen horror!

Chthulu's got like a vag running down the length of its belly...

Dude, don't be so insensitive. Poor 'Thulhu has had surgery you know. He can't have children anymore now.

But, Boy, Can He Take Things of Considerable Size Now, Eh!?
