This is whacky as fuck and I love it.

I would go for that fog machine if I had the extra 90 bucks. Such a decadent piece of machinery.

Can't wait to see what comes up next on those stretch rewards. Happy with what I'm seeing so far.

What exactly is the sexual dimorphism between male and female gorillas?

>>54703286
Males are bigger and that's about it.

The Raging Heros Cathedral looks great, but I'm getting out of gothic science-fantasy and it's almost 800$ for the deluxe set....

>>54703625
Yeah that was pretty nice my thinking too. If I thought I'd use it in another game is probably be down.

>>54703625
Yeah, but even the medium set is fucking HUGE. Pic related.

I was one of the first backers, but I dropped it when I saw they mostly intend it as scifi. I need Vampire Counts and Altdorf, not Sisters of Battle and Terra.

>>54703812
>>54703877
It's the 'only running for 7 days and only 1 run ever' that kills me. I'd love to get it, but I can't drop the funds on a gamble right now.

Seems like a good place to ask:

As someone who just got into tabletop miniatures, is there a big difference between plastic and metal? Because I notice Reaper has many miniatures come in both plastic and metal.

If the paintjob is good, does it really matter what theyre made of? Or will one material look much better than the other even with paint?

>>54703949
Yes, there can be a difference. At least with Reaper's stuff, the detail with the metal miniatures is much more crisp, while their Bones plastic equivalents have very soft detail. When you are saving a ton of money it may not matter to you of course.

>>54703926
On one hand they explain in the Kickstarter they're only producing a small number at a higher markup because they don't want to partner with the company beyond that, so its limited run and this is cheaper.

On the other, it looks like they're actively mining for what people want and even advertising people who drop their pledge with how much of a discount it is. So maybe they're creating an artificial market with that.

>>54703052
The fog box is pretty interesting, but a) I've never played a game that got that immersive. b) pretty sure that repeated exposure would ruin my terrain pieces.

Are any of you so autistic in your needing immersion that you would need one of those?

>>54703949
Yes, there is a difference.
Resin holds the best detail, but is the most brittle.
Plastic holds the least detail, but is more durable than resin.
Metal holds more detail than plastic, but less than resin. Metal is more prone to chipping paint, even sealed paint, than resin or plastic.

But with all things miniature gaming, a good painter can make any piece from any material look great.

>>54704016
I'd absolutely love to have it, but that's WAY too expensive for my blood. If it was like $30 I'd consider it.
I'd rather try and create my own dry ice fog in high density polystyrene mausoleum or something though.

>>54704022
Don't forget that metal is the most expensive by a fair amount, then resin, then plastic. Bones is the cheapest shit you can get on the market.

A metal dragon Reaper made cost $70, their Bones version was only $20.

>>54704073
>>54703977

Would you guys recommend the plastic/Bone series? Theres a lot of stuff here I like visually that I would love to use for TTGs and give to friends since some even are very close to player characters.

Right now the only metal ones Im making a point to buy is anything that simply does not have a plastic equivalent

>>54704148
If you aren't a stickler for detail then go ahead. If there is a figure that you really like and want to get in its best form possible, then get the metal version.

Reminder

>>54704148
Most importantly, read the Bones Primer! If you buy any Bones direct from Reaper they send you the pamphlet for free. It's made from a type of PVC that has unusual reaction to most primers. Bones are some of, if not the, best price point on the market. Some of the details are a bit soft, especially on the smaller miniatures. But for large creatures (bigger than human) it's excellent.
And even if it turns out not to be what you like or enjoy, they are so cheap it won't impact your wallet too much.
Also, they have a new kickstarter out, check if the metal models you are buying aren't in there, unless you want copies before spring of 2019.

>>54704172

Alright thanks! I know sometimes its possible to find metal miniatures for very good prices at LGSs, but thats both matter of luck and how many you have nearby

>>54704148

Earlier you said you're new to painting minis so I would recommend starting with plastic. It's easier to paint than metal plus it's cheaper so if you decide you don't like it you're not out as much money. Bones are great but I highly recommend priming them. They say you don't need to and they won't be ruined without a primer but they come out so much better primed than unprimed.

>>54704148
Here's the thing about Bones; the thin bits warp and bend. Even some of the thicker bits do.

You need to use a hair dryer or something similar like boiling water to head them enough to put them in proper position. Some pieces like their early attempts at spears will probably always bend a bit anyway.

Bones mold lines are also a bit harder to remove. You can't really sand them away as easy, you kind of have to cut them and be careful doing it.

But on the plus side, you can paint directly on them without primer. You have to wash them with water, no soap or anything, just run under water and rub everything with your hands then let it air dry and try to avoid touching it with your bare hands during painting since the fuckers LOVE your skin oils and that will fuck the paint up badly. But hey, everyone should wear nitrile gloves while painting, this is just necessary rather than...fuck it, its necessary for everything.

That being said, its absolutely amazingly cheap. If you're cool with a bit more work for a much lower price, do it.
The big stuff like monsters and terrain are cheap as hell, and you can buy huge amount of skeletons to cut up for terrain bases for almost nothing.

Here's a video on the bending.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URn9vujwksw

>>54704148
Bones are good for people who care about quantity and price more than they do about quality. If you want to bulk up your collection and don't care that much about having great looking minis, then Bones are absolutely for you.

If you want great minis or something super special to represent your character, Bones is not for you.

The one point where Bones absolutely shine is with larger figures. For price their huge minis cannot be beaten and they generally don't need the millimeter precise details that small figures do.

>>54704187
Fuck you.

>>54704050
That actually would be a pretty decent way to go about it, but idk how much dry ice costs. Over time, the fog machine would be cheaper, but if you only use it for every third or 4th game, the dry ice (wikihow said ~$3/bag) would likely be more cost efficient. If you can sculpt out a terrain piece from foam for the dry ice, you could have a pretty nifty setup.

Again though, does anyone actually set up shit that thoroughly? I'm the only person I've ever met who uses actual terrain pieces, and even then it's super rare because they're kind of obnoxious to set up and take down, and require a ton of space for storage. And the ones I have are paperboard or whatever (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1621774283/battle-systemstm-sci-fi-modular-terrain). I don't think I would risk damaging/destroying it just for a fog special effect.

>>54704235

I collect some Jojo figures, so Im somewhat familiar with rebending/straightening plastic, just looking through the stuff at local shops the packaging is not kind to swords, spears, etc.

>>54704260
>Again though, does anyone actually set up shit that thoroughly?
For wargames it is mandatory (Unless you have poor enough taste to play Warmachine), but for RPGs it really is unnecessary. It is especially unnecessary for me as I play D&D Basic where the players have to do the mapping themselves.

>>54704260
Dry ice is fairly cheap, the problem is you'd need to keep putting it in and it doesn't have much coverage, it wants to kind of float up and down and then stay.

The best way to do it would be to create a special table with some thin slots everywhere and drill a platform underneath for dry ice.

Or make a big thing in the center with holes in the sides like a tower or something which is how I do Halloween table centerpieces.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhInWBtVXxM

>>54704307
Ah, that's true for wargames. I didn't even think about that (I have a set of scenery I hand made for my wargaming needs). But that requires more open tabletop, and the fog machine wouldn't work so well anyway. Also, it would make tapes hard to read.

Has anyone in this thread actually did a KS?
Im working towards mine, contacting artists, translators, and editor etc. and shaping the game but there are few issues that still eludes me.
Is it really important to pay people to spam the game on every forum/board? I would like to avoid that relying only on myself and my(small)staff to eventually do some publicity on our own.

Also does anyone actually watch and funds kickstarters based on Tg reviewers?
i have a personal hate for bloggers and youtubers so I don't really get it, but while vidya youtubers tend to attract a lot ofmpeople I have no idea on how influent a tg reviewer can be.

>>54704359
Not yet, but I plan on it in the future. I've just been trying to talk about my game when it's relevant. I toss artwork into the art threads pretty regularly as well. I figure if people see it, have some comments on it, and see how it they can affect it, when the KS comes around, they'll be more interested in backing it.

>>54704359
>>54704359
While there are some paid shills, their number is vastly over-inflated. Posting the information about your game on various forums/boards where people who are likely to buy your game is mostly something that you or people who are fans of your products will do.
It's the law of averages. The more people talking about your game will likely lead to more backers.
Most of the tabletop games reviewers reach tabletop audiences, who would be interested in backing a tabletop kickstarter.
What are you working on?

>>54704359
>Also does anyone actually watch and funds kickstarters based on Tg reviewers?
That depends how you define "reviewers". If you mean that in the strictest sense and only mean actual reviewers giving their opinion on the game, then no. What can help sway me is a gameplay video, so if Rahdo counts as a "reviewer" then I would say yes.

Though an in-house play through like CMON has done several times is just as effective, at least if you're able to competently put together a play through that lets me see the rules and understand how the game plays out.

One thing I noticed about this bones kicstarter, there are a lot less minis in the core than the previous ones, but there are a heck of a lot more bigger models in it than the previous ones. Still seems like a pretty good deal even if it never grows from here on out.

When do they usually break down the core so you can add on extras?

>>54704403
That's definetely a good idea.
>>54704450
That was what i was thinking too, but you are never sure.
Also i hate shills, so I will be sure to at least be honest on who i am whenever i make an argument about it.
>>54704465
The point is, I have no idea how any of these youtubers(or people off youtube)has actually any influence.
of course, I'll have a gameplay vid on my website(on WIP)but probably I'll send a few copies around, just to see if they stimulate interest.
>>54704450
>What are you working on?
Its not even a prototype at this point, but I'm working on a GDR system made mainly for one-shots and short campaigns, witha focus on lateral thinking and humor, with "advanced" rules to flex it into a more"traditional"rpg.
May share something more when i have actually at least a functional set of rules and some arts, but it'll take time.

im doing this because an RPG is easy to print and ship, and i can ask for a pretty low sum to found it.
Ifit goes succesfull I might think on keeping doing games adding even physical shit like boardgames, etc.

Really hope I can turn it into reality.
When you reach a certain age on a life spent working you realize you are wasting most of your time in w job you hate and feel stripped off meaning.
Making people smile and have fun and creating games have always been my passions. Making them into reality would be a dream come true.
>inb4 shit english

That's why I'm hiring an editor(hopefully)

>>54704535
near the end, definitely in the pledge manager. Unless they don't offer it this time around.

>>54704604
>I have no idea how any of these youtubers(or people off youtube)has actually any influence.
Same way most reviewers do. People get to know their opinions on a subject and how they relate to their own so they can gain insights on what they would think of the game based on what the reviewer thinks. With Board games there's an extra layer where they explain the rules to you, so you also gain an understanding of the game, similar to reading the rulebook, but usually quicker and/or more entertaining.

Then there are your playthrough channels like Watch it Played and Rahdo Runs through, which are a more recent format and they allow you to get a deeper understanding as they actually go through a game and show you how all the mechanics work together. In that way it is similar to a Let's Play, but often board games are more designed for repeat plays, so they don't "spoil" a game some lets plays can.

>>54704714
Thanks for the insight.
I guess I'll just send a bunch of copies around to guys like these and see what happens.
if anything, i will have some free playtasting done.

>>54703353
God, that rock troll looks like a fucking awful sculpt. Why even bother making a thing like that?

>>54705584
Because people can't buy the FW equivalent anymore I assume. The arachnarok spider sculpt is just as bad.

>>54705601
>Because people can't buy the FW equivalent anymore I assume.
But that thing looks like it's made out of fucking Fimo or something, like the average person could make an equally good troll at home.

I'm not disputing people's need for rock trolls, I just don't get why anyone would produce or buy such a subpar sculpt of one.

>>54705633
That is a good point. Even Reaper's larger earth elemental seems like a better option. If it were me I would just bite the bullet and import and Chinese knock off of the OOP Forgeworld model. The troll is certainly the most skippable model in that kickstarter.

YOU GOTTA PAY THE TROLL TOLL

Can somebody explain why Reaper are so slow in making the already kickstarted Bones available for sale? I'm not buttmad about it or anything, I just don't understand the problem, I guess, since they must have the molds now and the point of kickstarting was to be able to expand the line quickly.

>>54705961
That rock troll should also work as an ice troll.

>>54706391
I'm actually really curious as well. They take fucking forever to get their shit to retail. They recently had a push of adding bones to their online store, and it's still shit from the 2nd bones. They are still trying to put bones 2 up! So anything you see here that you will want at retail, don't expect to see it on their store until at least 2020

>>54706391
I think they stagger for promotional reasons.

They have fans and collectors, especially the cheaper Bones.

So releasing a fuckton at once is not as enticing as releasing a decent chunk every month so every month there is around ten new releases.

>>54706437

>2020
More like 2023. Of course, there's always eBay or Amazon if you can't wait that long but the best Kickstarter pieces will be very marked up on there.

>>54706352

>>54706437
>it's still shit from the 2nd bones
They did release the Bones 3 core set and all the expansion boxes in July. Shame the Mythos one's out of stock already...

>>54703052
I badly want Bones apes, but I can't justify pledging just for that.

>>54706573
$80 gets you the entire Graveyard expansion from Bones 3.

>>54706656
Pledge the $1 pledge, bump it up to $10 which is probably what they will cost.

>>54706656
In every previous Bones Kickstarter they've allowed people to get parts of the core set as add-ons. Keep an eye on the Kickstarter, because you'll probably still be able to get just them for cheap.

If there are any fellow leafs wondering about custom charges, I've never had to pay customs on the last 3 Bones deliveries and those boxes were fucking huge.

The last thing I did get custom'd for was Drakengard 3, fuck digital river.

>>54706873

I got dinged hard on the first 2 cause I got a lot, but bones 3 I didn't get as much and it just appeared at my door with no notification it was even shipped, no fees either. I think its a matter of getting lucky or not.

They adjust the amounts needed as they see fit, so at best you'd unlock all anounced reward levels. The next one would be set at about a billion.

>>54709431
so do it gradually

>>54709502
They would still adjust the amount needed. They also lowered the distances between the stretch goals after pledges slowed down the last days.

Here's another one people might be interested in. Moulds for making bases. I've got a couple of their bigger plates, which are pretty good. The setup on this one is kinda stupid, since you'll usually want a mix of a couple from various sets rather than a full set of anything, but I've backed it to fifty quid, which'll get me a couple things I'd been wanting.

looks good but I would have backed if they didnt use a meme currency

>>54710300
Pretty sure they're family-owned FLGS types. Not a particularly huge project like Bones. Pretty sure they are offering international shipping, at least.

Damn I want that knight model. Why isn't it included, Reaper? WHY?!?!?

>>54711980
Sir Forscale? He was in the other Bones and he's like a $2 mini.

Anyone have an opinion on Reaper's paints? I've never used them, but I figure if I've got 100+ minis to paint I don't want to blow all my expensive citadel paints on them. $18 seems like a good deal for 12 different colors.

>>54712158
I like them, the tend to have a more matte finish than citadel stuff which I've come to prefer. also dropper bottles > pots

>>54712343

>>54712158
they are fucking sweet and they are the big dropper bottles so you get a lot more value than a pot which will probably dry out before you even get through the whole thing

>>54712158
I prefer Valejo, but they're pretty decent. Better than Citadel, at least.

>>54712343
>dropper bottles > pots
i hate this meme, dropper bottles constantly sprout out more paitn then i need, the only poitn you could make is GW paints die pretty quickly, but that is only if yopu do big ass painting hiatus. P3 pots don't seem to dry that fast in my experience and pots are jsut too much more precise in paint amount. Lastly pots are incredibly easier to shake.

>>54712158
Their paints are good. Just be aware that they don't need as much thinning as others, and that Bones are a weird material to paint, if you don't do something to seal it.

>>54714018
What a joke! You must be the clown of the FLGS

>>54714018
>dropper bottles constantly sprout out more paitn then i need
What are you squeezing it like a ketchup bottle? I can get a quarter of a droplet out of my reaper bottles with little effort. Mainly because I'm not squeezing the shit out of it.
>the only poitn you could make is GW paints die pretty quickly
And that's a big fucking point. All the time you have that pot open, the paint is drying. A huge waste of money.
>but that is only if yopu do big ass painting hiatus
Nope. The painting is drying while you are using it. A non-issue with dropper bottles because the paint inside extremely rarely gets a taste of open air.
>P3 pots don't seem to dry that fast in my experience and pots are jsut too much more precise in paint amount.
Wait, what? I am genuinely confused by this statement. I really have no idea what you are trying to say.
>Lastly pots are incredibly easier to shake.
Hahaha what? Dropper bottles are just as easy to shake as pots! They aren't unwieldy or anything. This is the most retarded statement you have made. It's actually pretty amazing.

>>54714018

It isn't licensed Star Wars stuff. Its not Fantasy Flight Games either.

Its some guy who made a Death Star trench set to use with X-Wing. You're supporting that guy rather than a big company.

>>54714018
If you need a smaller amount from a dropper, you squeeze just enough to wet the top then touch it to your palette.

>>54703877

I was on the fence with this right up until the last hour. In the end i decided against it. If it had been done in such a way that it could also be a fantasy cathedral then i would have been down for it, but i cant justify that kind of price for what it is.

I don't like how the "small version" is really quite shit compared to the medium one, like there was no stairs linking to the back of the cathedral. It looked bare bones and i'm not dropping $165 on something that looked unfinished. It seemed mandatory to have to buy the daedalus expansion set no matter what package you went for. Imo that should have been purchasable on its own.

As nice as their advertising video was, it didnt actually show the product enough for my liking. It was all fancy zoomed in shots that cut away way too quickly.

I actually get the impression that because the "walls" are made of cardboard, they will obviously be incredibly thin and its going to end up looking kind of silly for such a huge structure with paper thin walls.

As nice as it looks and modular etc $250 minimum is far too much for some cardboard. I think $100 cheaper or even $50 they would have got a ton more sales. Or if the extra's and daedalus thing was seperate. Certainly alot of smug cunts saying how jelly people will be when they pull it out for a game. I doubt it.

>>54717511
They said that the video was all shot using the medium expansion, which was clearly the one they wanted people to get.
I mean, for Necromunda players you couldn't want anything better. Its basically an entire table by itself.

But yeah, for fantasy folks its kind of nothing.

The "cardboard" for the walls is actually super strong though, its more like plastic. They used to include the same stuff in actual Necromunda, and that shit is still holding up for people with the original. The problem is that "cardboard" really is expensive to produce, its absolutely worth it if you're into 40k. Not so much fantasy. Too bad too, they only had to retool a small amount of it and mostly the addons and those screens to make it fantasy.

>>54709654
FUCK where were these LAST YEAR? I had an entire CAMPAIGN against a Necromancer / Druid whose bodyguard was an owlbear skeleton.

>>54703052
backed because it's fucking reaper bones of course I'll back

>>54709654
I think they're shit, only realy want the owlbear, but that's why they're optional, you can opt in opt out if you want

The apes look really good coming up soon, and the dragon turtle is cool as fuck

I'll pass on chronoscape but the minigun satyr is hella cool, same with the trex soldier

the meme options are all trash, high rollers, rocky the red etc

trolls look really good, might need those, the giants are good, I'll pass on Nargiauth because I really don't like the demon type wing guys from bones 1

Wraiths are cool but I don't need 'em

The core set looks phenomonal, love the tormentor she-devil and the minitaurs

The goblin selection is pretty good too for D&D

>>54717617
>>54717511
eh the cathedral kick starter seemed like a trap to me, I rather spend time to make good themed terrain for my table

dropping that much money on the one cathedral is impractical for 40k sized games, it wouldn't be good for gaming and then for necromunda sized games you don't get enough terrain for the price point.

For fantasy (kow, whfb, aos) I rather grab two mausoleums off GW, it'd fill a table better and condense better for mordheim too

>>54718119
They show how you can unfold the cathedral into a full city district.

Pegasus Games modular cathedral pieces are still better for fantasy though.

>>54718185
yeah but a chunked up cathedral doesn't LOOK like a city district, it looks like you tore apart a cathedral which looks like shit

>>54718312
>yeah but a chunked up cathedral doesn't LOOK like a city district, it looks like you tore apart a cathedral which looks like shit
Well, yeah.

That's what all 40k Imperium stuff looks like. Someone tried to make a cathedral and made a planet-covering gothic maze.

>>54718119

I agree with you. Its a shame, i would have forked out for it if it was considerably cheaper.

So before I confirm this is there anything else I need to do?

Just bump it up later if you see addons you want.

>>54720476
Alrighty thanks.

Tfw haven't enrolled for next semester yet which starts in like 3 weeks but here I am dropping a hundred bucks on plastic figures.

Woo! Snake tits!

>>54721458
This is actually a pretty good addon. Gives me hope for good stuff down the road.

>>54721525
Given the D&D plot and sporadic goals, it looks like we'll get great monsters.

>>54721718
I'd really like monstrous race pc models. Shard minds neve got enough love.

>>54721809
Maybe in Bones 5 we'll get loli adventurers.

>>54721458

Hope they make that an addon so I can get more

>>54722067
They usually make the sets from core available as add-ons.

>>54716483
JSUT

>>54721458
That polearm snek looks great.

>>54721458
I am going to be very disappointed if we don't reach this goal.

>>54724038
We will. The question is how much more past that.

>>54724084
>Bones 1 - 17,744 backers - $3,429,235 Average pledge = $193

>Bones 2 - 14,964 backers - $3,169,610 Average pledge = $212

Bones 3 - 13,465 backers - $2,730,365 Average pledge = $203

>Bones 4 Current - 9109 backers - $991,696 - Average pledge = $109


I guess we won't really have a good idea until towards the end and people start tacking on extras and boost their $1's.

>>54724199
We've only gotten one expansion set (and it's a Chronoscope one which might be a bit controverse). We've also got 4 more weeks to go.
They also haven't added any Pathfinder miniatures, those usually bring in more people.

>>54710256

What a fuck all weird approach to selling your product

>stamp to make epoxy bases
>we only sell to individuals in special circumstances (kickstarters I'd imagine)
>The ones you buy in the kickstarter are restricted by sets

Idk, modelling and whatnot has never been a group activity. I'll do it in a store with other people, but that's more like socializing while we're doing our own thing. There's no modelling club in practically any wargaming scene I've ever seen.

Idk, just fucking weird. I do like their products though, they just don't seem like they really want my money.

Ugh, the apes seem so far away...

>>54726284
The sneks are even further.

what is the turnaround time on the reaper bones kickstarters usually? If I pledge into wave 8 does that mean I won't get models until 2020 at the earliest? That's pretty shit, even if they are a good price.

>>54726373
No, considering that they usually take a bit longer than anticipated, you should have them mid 2019.

>>54726401
>No, considering that they usually take a bit longer than anticipated, you should have them mid 2019.
they claim wave 1 will be Q1 2019 though, and all the prior ones were very slow, so would it be wrong to think wave 8 would be Q3 or Q4 of 2020, possible Q1 of 2021? Or will they be faster than that?

>>54726411
The waves aren't that far apart from each other. In Bones 3, they took about three weeks or so for all American orders.

>>54726435
I'll have to think about it I guess. I've been hearing about how awesome the bones kickstarters are even since they've been doing them, but never had the chance to get on board. Some OK sculpts this time around, but I wish I could have gone back and backed bones 1 & 2 instead. I don't know if I am even going to want a bunch of miniatures 2+ years from now.

>>54726474
>>54726373
Holy shit 2019???

I didn't see the estimated date holy fuck thats a while. kind of regret my pledge now, i wont be getting these till after college

>>54726557
I know right? and so much of the core set this time are these large show piece models that are useless and take up a ton of space

I'd rather buy just the character models if I had the option

>>54721831

I'd be way more willing to get minis if they were anime-inspired without costing an arm and a foot (like figurines).

>>54728775
You want infinity. They're not too bad, and they're metal, if that's your thing

>>54721458
Yeah, Imma need a LOTS o' dese...

>>54726369
Calling it; sneks by suppertime today.

>>54726373
The long turnaround time with Bones 3 was due to a clusterfuckery in the shipping on China's end. Shouldn't be so bad this time.

>>54728775
The new Relic Knights models aren't as terrible as they used to be, and they would probably be your best bet. The rules are still garbage though.

>>54726557
I'm also getting these after college.

Honestly I'm fine with how long it's gonna take. I'm just now getting into miniature painting and don't have any plans on stopping these next few years.

What do you even use Bones minis for?

DnD and shit?

>>54729550
I've also got a couple Mordheim warbands out of 'em. But yeah, mostly for RPGs.

>>54729550
They're nice for roleplaying games because they're cheap and varied. Especially fantasy games, but there are also a decent selection of SciFi minis as well.

They are also good for wargames as either proxies/counts-as for other official minis, and used a lot in games that have no official miniature lines. Like Frostgrave and Song of Blades and Heroes.

>>54706702
>>54706737
I asked them this question specifically ("Can I add-on parts of the Core Set?"), and they didn't want to make any guarantees because it had been troublesome previously.

>>54729894
That's a shame. I'm pledging about $50 because that's what I can budget, but they may see that drop to about $12 because I really only like 1 of the options. I want some of the core set but not $100

honestly I would rather reaper just sell existing bones miniatures in huge packs at a slight discount than have kickstarters that take years to fulfill, even at a deep discount

as a wageslave I have money, but not time.

>>54729371
yeah, its a great life long hobby, just its hard paying for something you wont see for a year and a half

back when bones 2 was running I wasn't even sure I was going to still be alive by the time reaper delivered

turns out the tales of my demise were greatly exaggerated

But still... I'd rather pay 300 dollars for a product I can have today than 100 dollars for a product I can have in 2-3 years.

>>54731089
I compare it to being an investor. Long term investment for a reward later on down the line.

Not a great comparison but oh well.

>>54732409
Yeah It's kind of like a long term investment.

Pay $100 now to get $300 worth of minis a couple years later. If you are patient and not counting on them, it's a sound system.

But if you are counting on having them sooner then it's not an ideal system.

>>54732648
Oh yeah definitely. Currently I'm just doing hobby painting but if I was a DM or something and needed these for a big battle for a Campaign in a few months it's less than ideal.

>>54732815
I play Song of Blades and Heroes, and it will be the game I will use to teach my daughter how to wargaming. But she's not ready yet. By the time these are delivered she will at least know how to read, which is important, lol. So this could be seen as a future daddy-daughter present

Its that super laminated cardboard that's like plastic.

Unlike plastic, it remains thin and vibrant as years go by.

>>54733055
GW fanboys are literally who that's for. Nobody else likes tacky scifi gothic cathedral shit.

Warhammer Fantasy proxies and shelf pieces.

Nobody should financially support GW anymore.

ow the edge!

>>54736383
I said scifi, not normal.

Computer consoles instead of stained glass windows is pretty tacky m8. I mean its nice if you're a 40k player, but its useful for literally nobody else.
