it seems like FOREVER since I last did one of these, not since Reaper jumped into kickstarter and started making all their minis out of crushed calcium or something...

And even now I'm cheating a little, looking at their previews section.

http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Previews

Pre-views?

Oh right, y'see kids, sometimes a mini company actually tells you, in advance, what they will be releasing, I know this idea is strange but bear with me.

Now on with the show, here's what Reaper has for us in November!



Roweena is another great 19th Century Steampunk Heroine, armed with some sort of electro-contraption.
She can also serve as a 21st Century Steampunk cosplayer, armed with some sort of replica electro-contraption.



Vermina is your go-to model if you need a steampunk heroine with magical powers to control rats!
She can also be used as a steampunk villainess with magic powers to control mice!
In a pinch she could serve as a steampunk adventurer with several trained gerbils, but that would take some green stuff work.



This is Mr Grimm.

But he looks so happy.

It must be that 'irony' you kids today are so fond of.



Dr Klaus is another one who can serve several purposes such as a crazy doctor who experiments on people.
Or a mad scientist, who experiments on people.
Or perhaps an insane psychatrist who experiments on people.

The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.



And here's the 9th Doctor. Or is he now the 10th? I lose track. Anyway I didn't know Reaper even had that license. Congrats Reaper!



Very tempted to paint one up to put in Mrs. Kyoto's chair.
Very tempted.



Hans is from a post-apocolyptic future where Nautilus machines and grooming products are still common but unripped clothes are unobtainable.



I have nothing cynical to say about this.
In fact I need one.
In fact I need two, one for Kyoto Secundus and one for her sister Kyoto Secundus Prime.



This man has binders full of genies.
Trust me.
That joke was hysterical about 12 months ago.



Man that Wyvern acts like he has a pole shoved up his... oh. Never mind then.



If you'd like I can glue a Space Marine backpack to him and charge you $30.



I have no idea who this flamboyant young man is but he's just so happy.
I mean look at him.
That is the face of a man who just loves life.


Witch of the Dark Moors

Remember when witches were ugly hags?
Thankfully Reaper does not.
Hey, is Dark Moor a racial pun?



Reminder - You must use this model as a Barrow Warden Lord, any attempt to use him a simple Barrow Warden, Wight, a Wraith, a Specter, a Lich or a Death Knight will not be considered WYSIWYG.



I'm sure that somewhere there is a dungeon master who has waited 30 years to use the Iron Cobra from the old Fiend Folio but just didn't have the right model.
And somewhere I hope that man is happy.
He can also serve a familiar for your Iron Snake Space Marine Librarian.

(whew made it through that without making a dick joke)



AT LAST! People who play a half elf female monk finally have a model!
I imagine Reaper will sell as many as 2 or even 3 of these!
Maybe 5 if DMs allow them to pass as full-elf female monks.

So there we are, the triumphant return of Reaper to the world of metal.

Play us out Manowar.

Th flamboyant guy looks like he could be a Werner Klocke. Cool!

The Vermina could be a great female version of Hamelin in Malifaux.

Derek Schubert actually - started out as a painter for them and has moved into sculpting as well.

The actual preview page has a couple others that he had skipped over, and they also list all their sculptors on the page.

I'll be damned. Definitely has some similarities to Klocke in the facial anatomy. I like it! Has he done others?

These threads are always entertaining. And it's refreshing to see some new minis that will be available in a few weeks as opposed to 14 months from now.

What do people think of the not-Dr. Who? I'm not the greatest judge. Pretty accurate/recognizable?

The ones that don't say "sculpted by" I'm assuming are ones he's painted. The rest aren't as Klocke-ish looking. At least the ones I looked through.

I believe that Hans model is actively asking for his hand to go bad and thus be lopped off at the wrist...and then be replaced with a chainsaw. Shop smart. Shop S-mart. Mhmm.

Outrageous they dare to bring back metal and preview nice sculpted and totally not toy like stuff? Those upstarts will never get far unless they follow the Porche of miniatures.

It's a vegan wyvern, way too much fiber in its diet. It needs more hobbits.
