Not until after the plastic gun is released some time next year.

Ah well. I will just sit tight and wait for the next promised wave.

Bwahaha, Victoria left me a set of keys again!





The gun shield for the Sledgehammer, which will be available separately.

This will likely consist of 3 parts - the gun shield as one piece, and the two support struts.

Will these extras be distributed with the kit, or are we going to be dealt with a DLC style situation, where we have to pay for every additional component?

They previously stated that the main gun would be a kit and additional accessories would be available in resin from the store. We haven't heard differently that I'm aware of.

What happened to Vic?

re: Artillery, extra parts and whatnot will not be released for it until after the Kickstarter version has been sent out.

re: Absence, who knows? It could be that work has been really busy again, this has happened before.

Well, she was feeling ill about a month ago- I hope this is not still the case as it is probably something pretty serious if it is lasting that long. IIRC, her knee was causing issues over the summer (surgery?) so I hope there hasn't been some complication/s.

Has Victoria hinted the price range of the big gun outside the KS?
Suddenly I have the need to buy 3 or more for my IG Siege list.

Hi all, sorry for the quiet.

I've been busy with lots of stuff (most of which can I discuss at the moment, sorry), and running your own business is tiring.

I have been working on more stuff for the gun, but that'll splash a bit later, since I think KS fulfilment is still listed at about a year from now, give or take.

Have no fear, the Matilda isn't dead, we discussed that on the phone last week - we're trialing a new printer service since Moddler discontinued the printer we used. "Wheels are turning". In the end, the delays suck arse, but I promise you'll wind up with a better project since we did some redesigning of parts (not looks, just parts and assemblies). The redesign has been completely done for ages now, but it wasn't until recently that we've found a printing company that might just cut the mustard. Thanks to both pals at Reaper and Dragon Forge for recommending them on the same weekend!

Vic's over being ill now, and last I heard was busy catching up on orders and sculpting that she lost time on while being sick.

Migeulsan, no idea about the price outside of the KS. I would posit that if you look, the pledge manager might still be open - it was last time I checked as I was going to grab a few of the dragons on it for my wife.

Ok, well, I have to work on some more tracks now...

I can confirm the Bones 3 PM is still open

Glad Vic is feeling better!
Also looking forward to seeing when these things you are working on are released...

Never joined after a KS was done before so what do I do, head to KS log in and just pledge?

M.

go here and register

https://ks.reapermini.com/bones3/login

you can then add things to your cart and see what they'll cost

hit the recalculate button so see changes to the shipping cost and total as you add things, then checkout when you're done.. You can come back later and add more if you want to later (this takes into account shipping already paid so there's no penalty for doing so


note as a late backer you pay slightly more than KS prices (the sledgehammer was $30 for backers but I don't know what the post KS price is), but generally still less than eventual retail, and your stuff will be shipped at the end of the queue

My wallet hates you Orlando.

M.

Your wallet will probably hate you even more, because the Bones 3 PM is open until June next year, plenty of time to go back and add even more

Every time I start to think I might make it out of a month with my gaming budget intact and free of KS, I remember this. Luckily some of those sculpts are not appealing to me.

Hey guy's just looked on the store site and noticed the Victorian guard squad are gone :( please tell me they will be returning?

Probably means it will return as a resin squad soon. Or retooled to have the universal arms. Orrrrr, temporarily taken down to be put back up alongside their female counterparts. /hypetrain

I want to believe!

As do I. While Betrayal at Calth has claimed what I had left of my hobby funds for the Matilda and FemmenBerg, Christmas is looming ever closer however.

Me too! IG project is stalled until they appear

Or potentially out of stock til more arrive?

Could be any of a dozen reasons!

Has anybody painted a heavy mortar that I can see?

Seems cool in the shop but compared to others isn't the barrel somehow short?

M.

Miguelsan, it's a short barrel, but it was based off an old trench mortar, which were very stubby.

But at least it's not this short!

Which armies used that mortar? Is that a French soldier manning it?

Thanks! Question answered eloquently...

That's the "Sehr Schwerer Minenwerfer", I think it's az 42cm jobby.

Because the 20, 25, and 30cm range ones weren't big enough, oh noooo.

He's obiviously German.
Interesting enough. these superguns were WW1 phenomenon, only a few numbers of these were carred to the second war. and with the rise of aviation (and later Rocket Sciences). these weapons were obsolette.

Don't be an ass. The guy asked an honest question.
