Reaper Bones

>>54642793
Eh. My Bones 1 set is still lost somewhere in my painting queue, if I need one I'll just grab some at retail in a decade or so.

>$155.000

>>54642887
Same, but I'm addicted. I can't help myself

>>54642923

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

For you reaper employees spamming the board with your shitty plastic minis kickstarter:

buy a 4chan ad. This website is not free ad-space

Damn, I already own the villagers in metal.

Oh well. I can paint these as ghosts.

>>54644094
What employees?
Backers shill it for more free stuff.

I did with Bones 3. We had Reaper General going the whole month.

Mal Drakkar is best girl.

>>54642793
Kind of disappointed so far honest. Not even to half a million, and the goals are already 50K apart.

>>54644108
Yeah The Villager models are what I'm most excited for there's a surprising dearth of normal looking people and every day folk in miniature form.

Well that was an easily-grabbed Wave 1 slot.

>>54642941
Eh, I've got like 2000 minis in my queue anyway. Ask me about spending too much on Infinity instead.
It's cheap they said, 10 models is enough to play they said.

>>54643376
THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

>>54644474
Fug. I feel like i've been duped.

>>54644356
I think they want less bonuses since the ludicrous amount of stuff unlocked in 3 added a year and a half to delivery.

>>54644474
Thank you for pointing that out. I just got in with 42 slots left.

>>54644474
you sir are a gentlemen and a scholar

>>54644748
They could always add stuff like colours or cases.

Well, I'm signed up to Kickstarter. So much for laughing at people who Kickstarter things

>>54644915
Reaper has proven themselves reliable. They usually don't deliver on time, but they deliver.

Is there really a market for those dice miniatures?

>>54644915
kickstarter is a glorified preorder tool. sometimes its worth it to get things for cheap, especially if it's from someone who has had a decent track record. But sometimes its completely stupid, like depending on who is running the project (like palladium) or their track record of failing to fulfill.

>>54644947
painters who have too much free space on their mini shelf

>>54644748
>I think they want less bonuses since the ludicrous amount of stuff unlocked in 3 added a year and a half to delivery.

Was it even that much? I actually backed out of 3 because I was pretty disappointed with the offering.

Maybe I was spoiled by Bones 1

>>54644993
I remember with three the end consensus on the Reaper threads here seemed to be "Great, but not as good as 1, because 1 was insane"

>>54645055
>1 was insane
and I loved it.

Wait, they are out of $1 pledges for north america. If I just want one of the optional packs, am I just fucked? I don't want to do the $100 pledge

>>54645083
Same. I miss the madness.

>>54642793
I haven't backed a Bones kickstarter since 1

This seems like a pretty piss-poor offering for the price. I got like double this for Bones 1

I'm in for $100, I can always pull out if it seems like it's not worth it in another 32 days.

Definitely my favorite model so far.

>>54645171
They'll probably add more for later shipment waves later.

They look like they would be good decorations for a cash register at a FLGS.

Probably, but would anyone want to pay more than Bones price for them?

Bones they'd be like $10, resin $20, metal maybe $30.

Has the quality of the plastic they used improved at all? After buying a bunch of Bones I fell outta love with them real fast because of how soft and easily warped the plastic was. I get the idea for them, but for the quality, I'd rather just pay extra for better quality or metal minis.

>>54645615
The softness is why its cheap, the cheapness is the point of it.

You gotta use a blowdryer to straighten them.

>>54645615
It's more or less the same, and I don't mind especially with the variety and price of them

The $1 gets you nothing unless you pay for it. You have been duped.

>>54645792
No shit, dumbass. It's for those of us that are just waiting to see what kind of unlocks are there, then we pick and choose.

>>54645615
The plastic is the best part. Doesn't need to be primed, and never breaks. Just occasional paint chipping, which you get with normal plastic anyways.

>>54645792
You pledge a dollar. Then when they open up the pledge manager after the kickstarter finished, you can opt in for the full $100 pledge, still considered wave 1. This is not a new practice.

I am in $1 so when an optional upgrade comes up that I want, I can increase my pledge, and still be in wave 1.

>>54645818
You can't get the core set with the $1 slot. And OP said theres not difference between $1 and $100, which there clearly is. You can just pick and choose from the few $10 add ons, which you could already do with the $100 pledge.

It's a bit weirder than the previous ones.

>>54645845
Jokes on you. I missed wave 1 for the 100 pledge, so I did the $1 pledge and put in $100. Then when the pledge manager opens after the kickstarter, I just opt in for the $100 deal and am still considered wave 1.

It's what I did with bones 3

>>54645823
Pledge $100 on the $1 pledge and we all get more free stuff, you freeloaders.

>>54646099

You were. Bones 3 despite clearly being the worst Bones kickstarter was still a good deal.

reaper always opens up for late pledges after the kickstarter completes. you can switch your wave 1 $1 pledge to the core pledge then

>>54646366
>always opens up for late pledges after the kickstarter complete
Directly from the kickstarter
> If you confirm your pledge late some items may not still be available. This means that part, if not all, of your rewards may not be available and/or your pledge may be forfeit.

I wanna know where I can buy a Sir Forscale

Thanks m8.

>>54645413

I'd love to see a decent looking Rakshasa unpainted model. The only good one I've been able to find is from the Crown of Fangs boosters with Pathfinder, and I was lucky enough to pull one earlier this month.

It'd be nice to paint another variation of the Rakshasa, like a white tiger or panther.

Yeah i dont think ill be buying any more bones any time soon.

>>54646877
Just go to the comments section of the kickstarter. Normal people are point out defaulting dragons and goblins as males to make it seem like there's less females is stupid but reapers just sucking feminist dick on the issue.

>>54646940
What paint did you use? I never had this issue, so I'm curious whats causing it.

>>54646983
I support female goblins and other humanoids, but how do they know the dragons aren't female?

>>54647016
I feel like their shit disturbing, especially since bones often has a lot of female models.

>>54647004

I use mostly Vellejo but have a bit of GW, P3 and army painter.

tried a few brands of spray pint as primer. Krylon, rustolium and walmart brand i want to say. maybe a few others.

>>54647016

did you just assume the gender of all those goblins and knights?

>>54647041
I just think female monsterous humanoids are rare, and I'd love to see more. Though for dwarves/elves/etc. yeah, they've been pretty good for female minis.

>>54647057
No, I observed the sex of them.

>>54646940
That's strange.

I don't even have to prime, just a quick hand scrub under hot water then air drying.

>>54647043
I did GW paints with my bones and it worked out fine. Do you touch your models much? I use a device to hold them while painting and then use a matte coat to protect it. If washed the models in soap, and primed it, there shouldn't be any issue. Are your hands made of acid?

>>54647166
Same even cheap Walmart paint worked fine.

Eh, I've been a Bones fan for a bit, could have caught Bones 3 but got put off by UK postage and wait time. I'll probably just wait till something catches my eye and buy a few blisters, they're cheap enough at £2-3 or £7 for a Giant. I have no need for 20 different paladins or whatever.

In the UK it seems like only Bones 1+2 items are available from eBay/webstores but I've got enough to paint, so I can wait. Though I did make sure to buy pic related because they've resculpted the Fire Giants bigger and I prefer this one.

>>54642793
I completely missed Bones 3, which ticks me off because I would have totally gone in for that Vicky minis collaboration artillery piece.

Hope they do something like that again.

Wasn't the idea of Kickstarter to provide an initial launching-off point for a small company that could then use the profits to fund further development, as opposed being an indefinite business model?

>>54649926
They're using it to gain capital for new injection molds. Which are expensive things
The orignal bones was about them trying to get a new product line off the ground, but since it did so well, they did it again, and now it's become a semi regular thing.

File: Well played.gif (793KB, 400x275px) Image search: [Google]

793KB, 400x275px

>>54649951

>>54649988
Also note that the injection molds are all so they can make these things right there in the state of Texas. The bones 1 had to have part of its order sent to china because they didnt have enough molds and machines to fulfill the order. Bones 2 was meant to get to capacity to be able to handle a kickstarter sized order. Then they found that from the kickstarters alone they got the money for molds rather than rely on store bones sales to expand the line. It just works really well for them. Without the KS they would have to wait much much longer before making a mold.

>>54647041

They do that on a lot of kickstarters, They are probably $1 backers just so they can shitpost. I'm pretty sure that's why there was a unicorn in Massive Darkness at the end. Fuckin liberal sjws.
According to the front page you don't even have to spend the $100 on a core set. So I bet even backing at the $1 level with $100 you could still grab the core. Bones 3 I didn't even get the core just a few add-ons. I wish CMoN would do this.

>>54650131
>I'm pretty sure that's why there was a unicorn in Massive Darkness at the end.
Is that why it has almost no detail compared to all the other minis?

>>54648455

Nice effect on the sword. Is that a crackle paint?

>>54650177

I haven't seen it yet. Did you get your copy already?

Welp, there goes my hope of not having a backlog. Not as generous as Bones 3, yet.

>>54650179
Nigga do you even miniature painting? That's painted detail.

>>54650212
I got it about a week ago. The game is pretty fun, though our game was 2 players and went a lot like a Descent 1e map that you know well. Challenging at the start where you have nothing, but a steamroll at the end when you have tricked out gear and skills.

>>54650299

Sounds like some house rules will be in order. Beef up the bad guys or tone down the heroes? Time will tell.

>>54650321
I'm interested in trying the Campaign variant, but it may have also been because we were playing on the first mission, which may have been designed to be easy on purpose. Hopefully later scenario rules will compensate for the squishiness of monsters. There's also the fact that larger mobs in 4 player games could make the counter-attacks more of a threat.

I hope this model gets made in Bones, as sawing off the head in metal is going to be a special kind of hell otherwise.

So Bones.

I avoided them forever because I don't play in-person games anymore, and have no use for minis. But I started using them for giveaways & painting and stuff, so I've been buying 'em and getting them donated by Reaper recently.

And like...man, these casts are not very good. Covered in flash, lost details everywhere, every details is lost, soft as shit, not good for painting...

>>54653190
That's why they're a fraction of the price of most metal/resin/hard plastic minis.

Seen 'em painted to a pretty good standard though.

>>54642793
what's with the different 'waves' you can choose as your pledge level? they all say they're the same.

>>54653310
This, if you don't want large quantities of mediocre miniatures, then Bones aren't for you. If you do want a wide variety of miniatures and care more about price than quality, then Bones do a good job.

>>54653067
what are you intending to attach in that head's place?

>>54653190
If you don't partake in the hobby part and don't partake in the game part, then just don't buy them.

Most of the detail isn't so much lost as it is the material having odd light reflection qualities. After being primed a matte color, you can really see the details better. I mean, there is an objective difference in sculpt quality between the metal versions, but it's not so drastic as people claim.

If you have friends or family who partake in the hobby or games, it's fairly inexpensive stocking-stuffers and likely far more appreciated than cheap candy.

Literally what.

Just because you do not play around a table doesn't mean you aren't taking part in the hobby.

>>54653825
In miniatures, hobby refers to building and painting, either for personal collection or for play.

Someone who "has no use for the minis" very obviously isn't interested in the hobby.

Is there anything in particular anons are hoping for this Kickstarter?

>>54653894
That's...not remotely true.

I don't use minis or Warhammer figs because I don't play with minis anymore.

And yet somehow, I still manage to run painting clinics every Monday and like collecting painted models, and I still manage to DM 4 games a week without using them.

>>54653360

The waves fill up and move to the next. Waves 1 and 2 I think filled up fast.

>>54653968
>I don't play with minis anymore

>>54653956

Sci-fi civilians like some lab scientists, space ship crew, stuff like you'd see in an old or new star trek movie.

Terrain. For wargaming preferably, stuff for troops to maneuver around, things you could just paint up and toss on a green clothed table. Trees, shrubbery, fences, ponds, shacks, ruins or whatever.

I really liked the pathfinder goblins, but I'm not sure how they could make more of them different from the ones in bones 1. The goblins in this ks are the ugly ones. I don't really like them much. The armored goblins look decent though.

More of those weird plant monsters like from bones 3 The goblins in that one were cute too.

More weapon sprues.

Weapon sprues in Bones would suck, since the material is super bendy and warpy when thin like that.

>>54658859
And? Your point? It was doing exceptional until the minitaurs, then began to slow down

>>54657338
Weapon sprues already exist in bones using a less bendy plastic. You can actually de-bendify bones by using the right alcohol solution, but it makes them about as fragile as GW resin, so beware.

>>54658959
Because those cunts told people to pledge for $1 and up it to $100 later.

>>54658988
Yeah, they used a hard plastic for weapons and the gate fences in the Graveyard Expansion.

Its like Bones mixed with harder plastic. Brittle, but no warping.

There's a way we can cheat: up our pledges to ridiculous heights, then, when all kinds of cool stuff is unlocked, reduce our pledges to our normal level, perhaps even on the last day.

They won't know what hit 'em.

>>54659460
I was thinking that a few hours ago, would be awesome to see some more stuff worth getting

>>54659351

The first one was the best, you're never going to get another like it. The second one was kinda shit, but the third was pretty good (even though it was less backed). I think the excitement has worn off, so there isn't going to be that much unlocked this time. Unless we do what >>54659460, of course...

>>54658768
Yeah it seems like reaper is being a bit jewish this time around this current gap is 70K fuk that noise, gaps should be 40-50K MAX

>>54659566
That was my thinking day two and it's already a crawl because they spaced the goals so far apart.

>>54659822
exactly. They should be releasing things at a quicker pace, it should feel like a snowball effect the whole time, not this trickle. It they released that damn zombie dragon and baba hut thing it would shoot up considerably. They better not fuck this up for me

So are these minis in addition to the other chronoscope expansion? So for $50 I will be getting part 1 and part 2? If that's the case then it's a guarantee I will boost my pledge. That would be really good

>>54662885
yes that is what it is. think of it like a core set but for chronoscope

>>54662885
Yes, but those aren't added to the expansion until we hit $795,000.

>>54663141
>>54663143
Way cool. I'm not worried about reaching the goal. The KS is still very very young, 30 days left, and there is always a big push before it ends

>>54661371
>>54661323
I think it's own col lot we eat too things unlocked at that level. It makes the long stretches between rewards seem more meaningful

>>54663287
>I'm not worried about reaching the goal.
Aye, but it's worth pointing out so people are aware of it in case reaper announces an expansion expansion at the end of the kickstarter.

So are we going to pretty much try to keep up a Reaper Bones General for the duration of the campaign? Because I'm cool with that, as long as we stop after the campaign ends.

>>54663807
That's most likely what will happen. In fact if it doesn't I'll go as far as to say that if it doesn't happen, then Reaper has fucked up pretty badly.

>>54663854
I can help to keep it bumped by finding shit to talk about when I can.

I still think it's a good campaign and a good deal, even if it ended now. It will never be as good as the first, but that shouldn't diminish this one.

Are there any minis that are completely new with this Kickstarter?
Or a place where one can check that?

Cause I've seen some interesting models in there, but I don't care for bones.
Some other stuff has been around for ages in metal already.
So is there a listing somewhere of what's new and what's old?

>>54663887
I mean, right off the bat this one includes a dragon. Those things usually retail $20-$30

>>54663807
Yeah.

But post any other good crowdfunding too.

There's terrain that makes fog I think, and the Raging Heroes Sisters Of Battle terrain.

>>54663891
Nope.

Just use their figure finder to check through the existing catalog for metal.

I think some of the stuff existed in non-Reaper companies. I think the pig cart and CAV mechs are new.

Or you get the Bones and use blue stuff to make a resin copy.

>>54654080
The Wraiths are spoopy...

When pledging, don't forget to include tax and shipping in your total. That should help us kick up the ante by a bit.

>>54642793
Buying individual models from Core when?

I bought just about every goddamn dragon from the last kickstarter. I aim to do the same here, if I can get that big fugger by hisself.

>>54664681
I'd honestly drop down and just get the townsfolk the pig and maybe the goblins.

As much as I love bones, I don't really need more generic fantasy dudes.

>>54664773
> Not wanting Molotov Wizard

>>54664773
Same. I know generic fantasy is apparently where the market is but god dammit I need some Sci-fi, Cyberpunk, and Lovecraft shit.

So am I just a gutterbrain or is that female demon kinda lewd?

>>54664881
That's most likely the addons.

I hope we get some scenery that isn't Baba Yaga's house. Also that the house can come without the legs attached.

> waiting TWO YEARS for plastic toys

No thanks, I'd gladly spend twice the price for something I'll actually be able to use while I still remember it.

>>54665089
But if you buy it now and forget about it, when it arrives it's like receiving a present from Past You.

>>54665131
This. I have come to pretty much forget kickstarters after I back them. When I get them the budget for them was long taken care of and they just show up giving you minis you didn't account for.

>>54665089
Its cheaper to wait, and almost all of us have a painting workload meaning the delay isn't crucial.

>>54658988
Explain the debending further, please. This sounds intriguing.

>>54665089
Is this not like Kingdom Death? I thought the Feb 2019 was a deadline for the last wave and the other waves get it sooner?

Fuck me.

>>54665948
They are giving themselves a massive timeframe this time to complete. It'll deliver, don't worry.

>>54665948
all waves are supposed to ship Feb 2019. After the 2 year wait for Bones 3, Reaper is understandably trying to hit their goal on time this time around.

>>54665948
Reaper has a proven track record with delivering. They are trying not to over promise on the fulfillment date and giving themselves enough time to get everything done, rather than giving backers a year of "production delays" posts.

>>54658988
>>54665918
Yeah, that's interesting. Source?

>>54658988
What? All the weapon sprues I see on their site are all metal. What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?

>>54667278
Bones 3 put out plastic sprues of weapons. They're pretty neat.

>>54667374
It drives me nuts how much of bones 3 and even 2 are still not out yet. Thats one of the appeals of getting it on ks, you dont have to wait 2 more years after fulfillment for them to go to retail

>>54665089
>Waa, but I want it NOW
alternatively
>Not already having plastic toys while you pass the time

Disdainforplebs.jpeg

>>54663891
Yeah a couple of them are new, or at least I cant find them on reapers site. The bedeviled figures are some of these, I want that tormentor, sucks ill have to wait 2+ years to get my hands on a metal one.

>>54667402
Yeah. I looked in their website for the mystic circle, and they don't have it yet.

I need me since stone henge in my life.

>>54667416
I recently moved and had to leave all of my miniature related things back at my old home for about 2-3 months. Now I have a severe desire to paint. Feels bad man.

Interesting thing is now I live 40 min from Reaper Miniatures' Factory.

God I wish we had Bones 1 back. That was so fucking exciting. Granted Reaper bit off a little more than they could chew with that one, but every kickstarter since then gets worse and worse as they sink further and further down trying to maximize profits while minimizing what they actually pay out to funders.

>>54671941
You mean the image they posted once we hit the Chronoscape stretch goal? That's kind of my point.

>>54671985
They posted that image as soon as the Chronoscope stretch goal was anounce:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1513061270/reaper-miniatures-bones-4-mr-bones-epic-adventure/posts/1952510
I'd certainly like it to be expanded further, but it seems highly unlikely. At the current pace, we'll know in a few days.

>>54672023
That's the update where the Chronoscape expansion was unlocked,

>>54672055
Sure, that's why its title is "FIRE GIANT HUNTSMAN UNLOCKED!".Feel free to post a link to an earlier update showing the expansion.

>>54672090
Anon it says clear as day "At this time, this is everything you receive for your $50 pledge". The expansion was announced and unlocked in one post. If you think that's wrong, feel free to post a link to a later update saying the expansion is unlocked.

I think I'll pass though, nothing really grabs my eye to make the core set worth £75 and £15-20 postage and two years or more wait.

I'll just stick to grabbing single blisters of the stuff that grabs my eye, a local LGS seems to have a lot of even Bones 3 now, maybe they bought a KS or two themselves.

>>54673462
Won't customs also pile extra fees on top? Will end up pretty damn expensive unfortunately.

>>54642793
trolls hit, next its kobolds and "rocky" (ugh, so lame). come on reaper, reveal some good stuff!!!!!

>>54674132
I think this is half the problem with the later Bones kickstarters. Bones 1 and 2 got them moulds for a bunch of the good stuff from their existing catalog. So for 3 a bit, and 4 VERY MUCH so far, they've just been throwing in derpy shit.

>>54674240
They have some good stuff, they previewed it to generate some hype. Least they could do is add it. This is my first Bones KS and it is pretty disappointing so far

>>54673584
If they're shipping out of Nottingham, I'm pretty sure you just need to worry about VAT, not customs and shit.

Little cutesy dragons. Wonderful.

So far the only thing I want are the Guards and Knights from the core set.

>>54675110
Yeah, they're kinda dropping the ball on this one. I have backed Core, but I'm thinking about dropping down to a $1 pledge and just getting some of the add on bits.

>>54675831
same. Honestly, some anons should email reaper and let them know.

>>54675928

Oddly I find that in wargaming, you get moaning but you don't really get "consumer action" like you do in other industries. People either lie there and take GW/PP/etc's dick or simply don't buy it.

The newsblogs like Bell of Lost Souls or CMON's are basically free advertising with no hint of criticism.

>>54667810
They don't make metal of Bones exclusives.

>>54672131
It wasn't. Instead of a blank space with question marks, they just tacked a part 2 to the first image.

>>54675928
Let them know what? That their kickstarter isn't as good as bones 1? You do realize they took major losses with bones 1 and had to outsource to keep up with the demand, right? They way overpromised and had to take a major hit to fulfill everything. Since then they decided they don't want to lose money on kickstarters and reeled in what they promise.

>>54680186
Im not asking for another bones 1, but it could at least be as good as bones 2 and 3...

>>54680372
It probably will be by the end.

Its only been two days.

Don't forget Bones 3 was mostly addons.

>>54680542
this is my first bones KS (seems like that is fairly common around here), so I suppose it only just FEELS slow

>>54680596
Well, they didn't break a million bucks in the first day this time.

I just want to see some terrain. I feel bad missing out on the graveyard one earlier.

Anyone know about the hardening method that anon mentioned? I've seen stuff about shock hardening them, but I'm curious about the alcohol method.

>>54681417
I've heard alcohol prevents getting hard results...

>>54681417
If you're having trouble hardening, you should probably really talk to a doctor before you ask /tg/ for advice. You'll just end up with a guardsman torso glued to your dick.

>>54681648
>>54681870
Talk about Bones, amirite?
ayy lmao top kek

>>54681417

Never heard of the method, seems unlikely. I've froze some to make it easier to slice off mold lines and that kinda works but the stuff is pretty soft so it's easy to cut off too much. I hope they harden the material a bit more, some of the bones 3 stuff was great, where bones 1 are sooooo soft. I don't know how anyone managed to paint the skeletons.

>>54680372
Have you compared this to the previous Kickstarters? Are the stretch goals really THAT far apart? I think the biggest factor is people are probably getting burnt out on bones. The internet is frequently making comments like "I already back the first/last/three and I have more minis than I know what to do with. I'll skip out on this one"

I really don't think there stretch goals are to blame here

Not gonna lie, this is my first bones kickstarter and I'm pretty damn excited.

I've been in need of some decent minis to use for D&D. So far most of my mooks have been represented by battleball players. Feb 2019 can't come soon enough.

>>54684844
It's my first too. I wanted to be excited but I stopped playing fantasy games and started playing Shadowrun. Why is the Sci-fi addon so S H I T?

Still might get a core set for if I ever go back.

> a bloo bloo bloo the sci fi expansion that nobody will buy doesn't have many minis in

Nigga I'm committed to buy it but I don't have any illusions. They're running low on exciting shit.This is niche market garbage. Just be glad they're not trying to sell you CAV during their regular kickstarter

>>54686321
But I like CAV.

>>54686321
Fuck I'd be happier if they crammed some CAV into the chronoscope one, at least it would make it a more appealing package. I could find use of them.

>>54687092
Then buy CAV bones. Or be like me and have the CAV you snagged out the CAV KS.

>>54687216
They semi-did. There's robutts. But that's really not the point. The point is that, due to economies of scale, it's gonna take more money per unit to profit from spess dinosaurs than it did to sell Graveyard Spoops, par example.

I have to say, that Balor/Balrog looks pretty good. I already have the one from legend of Drizzt, but it's tempting.

>>54658613
Meh, the new plastic troggoths look better imo.

>>54689712
They look great, too, I'll probably get both. The wraiths are also nice, but what would I need that many wraiths for (except maybe a Weathertop diorama).

So the bones 1 made 3.4 mil
The bones 2 made 3.2 mil
The bones 3 made 2.7 mil

So at this drop rate, I think we will be lucky if we reach 2 mil by the end. I think as >>54684655 said, it's just been consistently declining. Most likely due to bones fatigue or most people seeing themselves as already having enough bones minis.

>>54689746
its because the new ks has shit options

bones 1 had amazing minis

>>54689746
plus reaper are getting jewish with how quickly you unlock bonus minis. most of the bonuses are the "add x money to get more" shit. fuck that noise

>>54690229
>>54690221
Nah. After bones 1 there was a significant amount of buyer's remorse and eBay lots going on sale, especially after the minis went to retail and people realized they could still get the minis there really wanted for cheap. This just kept compounding as the Kickstarters kept coming. Even if bones 2 was as good a deal as bones 1, there would have still been a decline. The Kickstarters relied on the initial impulse to buy into it and get excited about the deal, to have the regret later. More and more people are just wising up to it

>>54690229
The kickstarter is for the company to get what it wants, you're just giving them money for slightly discounted price. If it funds, they got what they wanted, so who the fuck cares. Never make the mistake of thinking a company will pick you over itself.

I know half of you are hoarders, but for the rest of you, how many have you painted from previous KS?

Do you have a method? I use Vallejo and Citadel paints and have painted a few, but might get a Reaper HD black just for basecoating them, since they don't need a true "undercoat" and don't take most spray primers well.

Quite odd really, for the amount of purchasers and hype there's no real Bones blogs about, there is the Reaper forums but even on there it doesn't seem there's that many people who can paint Bones too competently.

Maybe because at the cheap price they attract RPG players who are maybe non-painters, and it is a more difficult material to work with than regular plastics.

Rolled 22 (1d100)

mlep

>>54690881
I havent painted from previous Bones KS, but I have painted bones before (still have quite a few to go). I don't even bother with an undercoat, I paint directly on the bones material (after washing it of course).

>>54690881

I finally just decided to get the reaper brush on primer shit, never had any problems with them feeling tacky or sticky since.

You can't really beat the price either, I could get 15 bones dudes for the price of one of those shitty D&D miniature boxes.

Interestingly, the color sets now cost 18$ again opposed to 20$ in bones III.

We should see next goal soon.

>>54694045
The drawback is that you're not contributing to the total, thus slowing down the stretch goals.

>>54694045
By waiting you reduce the money towards revealing more content, which means other people wait, so overall we unlock less.

>>54694751
If they sell a good ruin terrain set in lieu of that one Bones diorama they make my day would be made.

>>54689746
I think it's pretty deliberate be reaper. Be they've stretched the spaces between goals and consistently given less of a deal with each Kickstarter.

I didn't even bother with 3. I'm just hoping for cool terrain in this one.

>>54694852
But 3 was great.

Dragons, Lovecraft, scenery, Starcraft Marines.

>>54686321
Im hoping the last bit of that expansion is a neat vehicle or some sort of cool terrain piece

>>54694983
Probably terrain. One large, or a small and some unique minis.
That seems to be how most of their expansions go.

>>54694900
>Dragons, Lovecraft, scenery, Starcraft Marines.
The scenery was the only thing I liked.
Dragons are overrated. I have away all the dragons I got from bones as Christmas presents. I've pretty much got all the Lovecraft models I could need from the Cthulhu Wars Kickstarter.

Just realized that the game between rocky and the wyvren is only 35k instead of 65. I'm hoping this means that Reaper had sorted thier shit out.

100$ sill seem like a really bad deal tßh.

>>54645186
Kickstarter started a few hours ago. Remember that.

>>54695257
You mean days.

>>54695159
Right now it's $1.25 per miniature. That's $1.25 for a 25 cm tall dragon. For comparison, a Snickers bar at my local gas station is $1.26 after sales tax.

So, a few bites of peanuts covered in chocolate and caramel, or a dragon. Your choice.

>>54695319
Jesus, i've been at work for too long.

>>54695159
It seems alright to me. There are about 12 models I want and 36 goblins/kobalds that are useful. That's still $2 a model. And I can sell it give away the dragon and other models I don't want.

>>54695327
Compare that to a huge bones mini of your choice and and a number of plastic boxes/other bones miniatures of your choice. You should also factor in/out the miniatures that you really won't be using and the price per mini gets significantly worse. Shipping and waiting time comes on top of that. I really want to like it, but it is simply an objectively bad deal.

>>54694900

I'm guessing you're a Dump supporter?

>>54696366
That's hardly a clusterfuck at all man. Taking everyone's money and disappearing with it is a clusterfuck. Getting two years into development and spectacularly imploding is a clusterfuck. Star Citizen is a clusterfuck.

2 years to delivery is just kinda slow.

>>54697321
>
Compared to Dark Sword's KS, where people had their products in hand within 3 months of the end of the campaign? Yeah it sucked.

>>54697478
Which is fair enough for that. But they straight up said it'd be at least a year during the campaign.

I dunno, I basically treat Kickstarter like a way of sometimes getting surprise presents from Past Me. Maybe that's just me. I can see how the six month delay on expected ship'd be a bit obnoxious if you were treating it like a shop.

>>54697627
This.

Its a preorder.

Maybe its because I'm 28 and have a job plus a pile of unpainted minis. Maybe 20 year old me would have been outraged.

But man, the tine until I get it is time I wouldn't be working on it anyway. I may have Bones 3 done next year.

>>54698390
Man, I've been playing D&D for over a decade and I've never had a cohesive set of miniatures.

I am totally fine with waiting another year to have an amazing set. Especially if it's only going to cost me about a hundred bucks.

It'll be a nice birthday present to my future self.

I've got plenty of GW stuff to paint in the mean time.

I just hope we keep hitting more stretch goals. I'm really digging this basic stuff. It's right up my alley.

I can put it with my other Bones turtle!

>>54700393
They don't exist on the store. That's the entire point of the kickstarter. To get the moulds made. I guess someone could do a comparison with Bones 2?

>>54700447
Not hard to compare.
Packs similar to Kobolds, Knights already exist in the shop. Same with monsters and characters.

Cart is the only odd one. I'd price it like the flying saucer though.

So we can approximate.

>>54700501
An approximation would be nice.

>>54700393
The average price of a bones fig is about 3 bucks, with bigger ones going for 15-30 on average.

The bones material is fantastic for large creatures but not so great for the small regular size ones. Looks like they are offering more big stuff with the core in this ks so thats a good thing. I hope they continue that trend. If this had been like bones 1 with mostly small figs it would have been an easy pass for me.

>>54695587
Add a poor exchange rate and possible taxes and duties and the deal gets much worse.

>>54700517
The big dragon in the core set (Gauth) is set to be $29.99 USD at retail, and most bones figs being on average 3-5 for medium and 10-30 avg for large figs. Groups of things like kobolds and goblins break this trend by being about 3-5 bucks for a pack of 6.

So:
Gauth: 30USD
Goblins: 6*3= 18 (because sets of 4 with same poses)
Kobolds: 1*4 = 4 (because unique poses)
Regulars: 39*3 = 117
Large: 9*5 = 45
Total: 214USD approx (would be more if adding some additional cents, but im rounding to whole dollars in calculation)

>>54700835
Also, if you do the math, each fig currently runs for about 1.25USD in the core set

>>54649926
50% of people who kickstart mantic's stuff have never purchased from them before. It's a good marketing tool sadly.

>>54700942

Because it gets dominated by big companies so smaller companies trying to use it to get off the ground don't get to do so. There is a limited number of resources people will invest in a kickstarters and when Reaper takes 1 million of that smaller projects are definitely losing

>>54701077
most projects arent worth backing anyways, and i know how you feel, my indie kickstarter failed, but you know what, we still released a product.

>>54701077
And that's the crucible. The market is pretty fucking oversaturated and what we do NOT need is yet another brand new skirmish game on the market. What we need is more variety and support for the existing games.

I can't tell you how many times I looked at a new miniatures game on kickstarter and felt "wow, that looks cool. too bad nobody will play it" then I never hear from it or see it again.

>>54701064

$40 canadian, not including shipping, tax and duty. Course I can get the shipping free if I buy extra from the reaper store so thats moot.

Was a deal at $15 in the ks but not so much now.

>>54701157
That's because GW dominates the hobby. Stores can't survive outside of magic and 40k. 40k is drying up as you can just buy online cheaper.

The hobby is suffering hard from community break down and internet prices. Don't know how we can resolve that though

>>54701203
40k isn't drying up anymore, ever since GW got their shit together. But the hobby is suffering hard due to oversaturation. Gamestores take risks stocking games that they think might do well, but never do and are never considered and it becomes lost investment. Kickstarter is the fault of this.

Even CMON is struggling to get their stuff to stick each new game they got going. Do you really think song of ice and fire is going to be the next fantasy?

I feel sorry for suckers who back random miniature games kickstarters because I have seen it time and time again, they get their stuff, and can't garner any interest in anyone playing it because it's such a niche market within an already very niche market.

Not him, but to me it's just part of the pre-order culture that puts your money in the hands of corporations more efficiently, for less questions asked.

Sure there's still the odd "cottage industry" project, but now bigger companies just see it as a way of using consumers to reduce their own liabilities on projects.

Sure you're getting a fairly good deal from Reaper in this case, who seem like a decent bunch, but overall it's just that schizo, ADHD approach of everything being crowdfunded in newer companies like Mantic and Spartan Games that seem to be dragging others down the same path for capital.

It hasn't affected every manufacturer, but take me back to ten years ago when it was just "hey guys here's our new range of Goblins, they're £2 each", not "well the basic pledge is £30 for the new models, but if you pledge £50 you get two of each and this Exclusive miniature".

Ah thanks man. I guess I'll go ahead and get this. It'll be a great way for me to finally start getting loads of minis, even if these won't arrive for like a year or two.

>>54701267
CMON do it to themselves, as soon as one product is out the door the next is rolling off the kickstarter. They have too much shit to the point where I as a hobbyist don't even follow them due to it.

>>54701350
It's worse than a pre-order, with a pre-order you can see the finished project or at least a rough estimate of it.

Kickstarter is a promise of a future product which you invest in then see zero return for your risk. I got burned on the dark souls kickstarter because the renders looked great but the plastics nasty so I have a bunch of junk I have little use for as a painter wanting to play his vidya.

>or at least a rough estimate of it.
what then is a render you got with the dark souls game? id say thats a rough estimate

>>54701626
>I got burned on the dark souls kickstarter

Let that be a lesson to you. Video games NEVER translate to boardgames well, the videa will ALWAYS be better in every way.

Monolith Batman game may prove me wrong however.

That's why you always stick with reluable companies.

I know Reaper. I've bought from them for 11 years, and like their Bones. I was pleased with 3.

I get Kev Kickstarters because he's one of the most reliable sculptors there is.

The reason I didn't back Dark Souls is I wasn't able to confidently trust the team and wasn't sure I'd like the game.

>>54702354
Except the part where you stated an absolute and then proceeded to try circumventing it. Which you can't when your statement is phrased like an absolute.

A better way you should have said it would be:
"Video games RARELY translate to boardgames well. Monolith Batman may be one of those."

>>54702422
I didnt post the original comment...

>>54702422

Listen you autist, vg never make good boardgames but if monoliths batman proves me wrong THEN I'd say videa RARELY make good boardgames. Got it?
