(I really really want Deathsleet for $10.Here are the auctions I'll be watching this week: Support the Kickstarter and help it exceed $475,000. Come on, invite home some plastic monsters. You could also just pledge a dollar and add on $18 for a paint set, or $25 for 20 orcs.īut ye gods, Vampire Level is where it’s at. 15 bucks can get you a bunch of dungeon nasties for early-level adventurers. The Kickstarter has lots of options, so do check it out if you’ve the slightest interest. ![]() Certainly, there’s nothing like the heft of solid metal in the palm of your hand, but when I think about the international shipping costs of a box full of metal versus one much lighter… Well, there’s something to be said for being not so dense and heavy. (There are a couple of Youtube videos where you can skip ahead to the end where people poke at ’em and bend ’em.) Not as good as metal can, but the quality of the already-created Bones minis are pretty damn decently close, in my opinion.Įspecially with the talent of Reaper’s sculptors and popular metal lines to replicate. I might think it closer to the type used in prepainted D&D miniatures, but it looks slightly harder and looks like it holds shape and detail a little better. ![]() To be cynically realistic, as far as my research goes, the polymer or plastic that the Bones miniatures are made up of is of the soft variety ( so says this review), so I wouldn’t be imagining something like GW’s hard plastic. Look at that heavenly variety of beautiful sculpts, going for less than a buck each! One look at what Reaper Minis is offering and I’m going back to the dark side when all the goodies ship in March 2013. I haven’t painted minis in ages, probably over ten years now, though I still have an inordinate fondness for Warhammer 40k and Games Workshop related fluff (they’re so colossally expensive though, an MMO habit or three is way cheaper). The Kickstarter has completedly exceeded their original target and they’re on to fairly insane stretch goals now with crazily tempting figures and extra freebies for the Vampire level. They’re launching a Kickstarter to ramp up production of their new line of plastic miniatures, called Bones. It turns out I must have an alarm system built into my head or something, because visiting those blogs clued me into something spectacular going on at Reaper Miniatures. And I’ll definitely be around for GW2 as long as Gamestop doesn’t screw up my CE and leave it adrift on a container ship somewhere.) (Don’t worry, I’ll be back to video games shortly, once the urge is sated, I get new longings very quickly. I don’t know how many of my readers would be interested in this, but as I mentioned, I’ve been diving back to tabletop gaming roots (RPGs and wargames) and scouring solo RP/wargame blogs in the search for some kind of narrative that fulfills my current craving. ![]()
