The only thing I might suggest is going with a matte finish rather than gloss. It's totally your call, but it's easier to see the details of the model when it's less shiney.


Thanks for the compliment . The shine is mostly from the shader - I'm waiting for it to dry and will then retouch it - I like how the inside mouth is all glossy though. If it goes too mat while drying, I'll manually add a gloss to keep it that way.

Looking real good on the bitey treasure chest there mate (mimic?)

I just posted a bit of a wishlist for the next Bones on their forums:

More of Tre' Manor's sculpts. The size is in that large humanoid range that Bryan suggested, and their fine detail came out rather excellently. I'd also like to see more of the larger monsters and such that would easily proxy into people's wargames. I know that Reaper has their own fanbase, and that they're also the default "go to" ranges for D&D players, but Warhammer has been going down the really large monster road for awhile now, paired with a price to match. I think appropriate-but-still generic Bones-proxies would blow them away and sell very well to both markets.

Phoenix with optional rider?
Dinosaurs with optional riders?
Big-old Vrock-type demon?
Great big flaming not-balrog demon with ornate armour, a whip and an axe?
Another bone giant (not bent over!)
More options for Ogres, Trolls and Minotaurs?
and so on...
For roleplayers, painters and wargamers, that stuff is Gold, Jerry. Gold!

Picked up my 2nd Bones mini today. I've had my eye on the Large Earth Elemental for years, but at $6.99 I finally was able to pick it up when I saw my FLGS had the kickstarter minis in stock.

Unfortunately when I got home and opened it up I realized it had two right arms Anyone know how to contact Reaper about mispackaged minis?

Should take care of you right quick.

I would like to see them move some more of their Warlord range into Bones. They have some excellent infantry and cavalry...not to mention all manner of big monsters. With the low price point, it would be hard not to be tempted to use them as proxies when you can pick up half an army for the cost of a single boxed set else where.

Beyond that...the rest of their big, but not huge range. I like dragons and cthulhu is great...but I think I would have rather seen this guy instead:



He is a very impressive metal miniature, but every time I use him in games, I feel like I should be wearing steel toed boots and wearing a back brace due to the weight of all that metal. There are a bunch more in the $25+ range of metal figures which are small enough to be used in most games, but so heavy that I tend to skip them. In Bones though, you dont have to worry about the joints or if they take a tumble off the table, cracking any toes...or tile. It is also a heck of a lot easier to cut up...so I might well have three or four of him on the table as opposed to one on the shelf.

Agreed... also, you can always add a matte finish spray (such as Testors Dullcote) on top of any other finish, even a gloss one. That's actually a trick people use to make colors more vibrant, even... I'd like to see that same mini after a matte finish

Has anyone heard from Reaper about replacements/missing parts without emailing them in the past week? I only ask because I emailed them after getting my box, and I don't want to be that guy sending them an email every 20 minutes bugging them about missing bits if they are already on it.

I got my stuff and emailed them about missing stuff a while back

they said they'd move on to dealing with those once all the orders were out

and that includes Undertaker (ie retail level) pledges that they've still working on so I don't expect any movement on them for a week or two yet (or more?)

I emailed them shortly after they sent the final kickstarter update. Got an auto reply saying yes, this is an autoreply, but we got your report and will fix it. I won't worry till its been a while longer, to be honest.

The real question though is which dragon?

I am already planning on ordering a 5th and 6th Clock Work dragon...that guy is a perfect size for table top gaming and has a lot of potential for conversions and painting. Might get another Big K in order to make a desk lamp out of it.

Just bit the bullet and bought the Bugbear model. It was both refreshing and interesting to buy a model using spare change(I paid the whole amount in quarters/nickels/dimes).

This stuff is bendy! There wasn't much flash, really clean and crisp detailing. I've a friend who is thinking of using these in boardgames, and we're going to match pieces up.

Soon I'm going to convert it into a warboss.

Just got a bones giant from ebay- sword seems to suffer from WSF. Luckily, I bought it to use only the lower half in a conversion... but the sword is something that would really suck if I needed to use the whole model.

After hearing about how bendy the plastic was, the thing that suprised me about the box I got was actually how stiff everything seems - I've only been through half the vampire box so far (I'll be unboxing the rest at club tonight with the guy who bought in with me), but the models are by and large pretty stiff, only a couple of weapons were bendy, and I can live with that (they might well straighten out and stiffen up with the right treatment too apparently, so I'll be trying that soon enough). Haven't opened Cthulu or Kaladrax yet though, so they might be a bit soft, but then again I was expecting something like the early Bugbear models which could have their clubs bend in a full circle (from the research I did before the Kick Starter) would be the norm (and for cheap D&D minis, I was fine with that), but they're actually quite solid feeling.

The War Store in Long Beach has them. The manager there wasn't too happy about the kickstarter, as a lot of his sales went to that. Even now, he's selling the Bones version of Kaladrax for $75, ebay has the kickstarter ones for $40.

I am angry with Reaper, so I will shoot myself in the foot?

Not a great point to make....

Reaper's point was 'dang, it costs a lot to make molds... let's punt!' Without that Kickstarter there would not be two hundred new models....

The Auld Grump

*EDIT* That is assuming that the Long Beach War Store normally does discounts - if not then that is a null point.

*EDIT 2* One local store's reaction to the Bones Kickstarter was to give a 10% discount on the existing Bones to folks that supported the Kickstarter. They saw it as a good thing. They even had shared orders on the Kickstarter itself - letting folks pay for Kickstarter items from the storefront pledge level ahead of time, defraying the store's up front cost and saving the customer some money over retail.

Chris, I did suggest it there.

Also, Brookhurst Hobbies also has the Bones models in stock, but they seem to be selling them pretty well. They haven't complained at all. In fact, I think the KS actually boosted their sales of Reaper product just by generating interest.

Being mad about Kickstarters is a waste of time. Just think about all the Pathfinder players and miniature painters who didn't participate in the Kickstarter. Mantic has reported that their non-KS sales of Dreadball have already more than tripled their sales during the Kickstarter.

Two of the local stores are stocking the whole line of Bones, neither of them are the store closest to me though. Though my regular store has been giving me issues lately and it might be time for a change in terms of where I game regularly.

I keep special ordering things and then they don't get ordered. It's like the person ordering isn't looking at the special order log or sales records when ordering. Things that sell well aren't being replaced and over a month of special orders never got placed with the distributor. So I think I'm going to add an extra 10 minutes onto my commute and go where I can reliably get what I want.

Got my second box of stuff (lots of cases, second vampire for a friend and a bunch of extras). Things to note:

- Not one missing mini - very impressive considering the number of minis we sorted!

- Not one extra mini (save the free Nethyrmaul of course!).

- Nearly half of the minis will probably need boiling - which shouldn't take long, and they need to be washed anyway.

- Only about half the minis fit into the carry cases slots. Cutting out two by two squares (a sharp knife makes this very easy) in various combinations fit most of the rest of the Vampire stuff, besides the big stuff (Giants, Griffon, mechani-ape and a few others).

- Nethyrmaul and Cuthulu are big.

- Kaladrax, however, is HUGE. Seriously HUGE.

- The number of little baggies is ridiculous, get a large rubbish bag.

Only issues were one model with a nose missing (she looked like Voldemort) and a hand off one of the green ghosty things, neither of which I would have bothered about replacing except that my friends Clockwork Dragon was missing a shoulder shield, so we'll probably get them replaced at the same time.

Overall, I'm really really happy with everything. I'll probably sell off the Kaladrax, if only because I couldn't store such a massive thing, and while playing it in a game would be cool, it wouldn't make the table more than once a decade (and Nethyrmaul is perfectly capable as a stand in ).

I had that problem with Kaladrax; it's an awesome model and obscenely cheap considering the size, but I didn't think I'd even have somewhere to store it let alone use it. So I sold it for a small profit to offset my other stuff, before I saw the suggestion to turn it into a lamp, that'd have been awesome :(

Yeah, it effectivley added a lot of potentially well selling, low price point items that make great impulse buys. The stores potentially lost out on some initial sales, but the huge number of new releases assures that they can make it up in volume quicker than the previous release schedule of like 5 per year.

I was going to say the same thing- particularly for shops / brick and mortar FLGS, the low cost of Bones make them easy purchases for customers and also makes it easier to buy at retail, since just buying one Bones model at retail is cheaper than buying it at a discount and having it shipped, most likely.

It's also a fantastic gateway to the hobby, because it doesn't involve a lot of tools (no primer, files, or superglue).

A shop can sell a few paints and a few bones. Or if they have open painting, just a mini!

Not to speculate too loudly or wildly...but Hasslefree (Kevin, Sally and the kids) were flown out for ReaperCon this past year...they happen to be a not insignificant retailer/manufacturer in the UK. It could be that Ed is kicking around a partnership with a company like that who have kindered outlooks towards miniatures and their customers.

Granted, it could have just been because they wanted to hang out for a bit...but $6000 or so on airline tickets as well as hotel and what not...

Note, that is just wild speculation and I have not specifically heard anything relating to that. However, back in the day that is how they teamed up with RAFM in Canada and how Citadel teamed up with Ral Partha.

Would be cool to see those two working together (I imagine reaper in that case might stock hasslefree stuff). But on the other hand I would miss the British candy with every order.

Got my Bones today!

Looks like nothing's broken, but I'm missing some. The "deep ones" at least, I'll have to check with the full list in hand to see if anything else is missing.

Still a bit peeved, but seeing full retail prices for the stuff has cheered me up. The huge bone dragon is RRP $75, a bit over $50 from discounters, and we backers got it for, what was it, $25?

Just a follow up about that mispackaged Bones Large Earth Elemental. I sent them an email advising them that it was missing the one arm on 30-Aug and they got back to me the same day and after providing some more info they got to fixing the issue by sending me a correctly packaged blister of the whole model! It arrived yesterday, less than a week after the initial email was sent.

I dunno if not liking the idea of giving a large expensive model that you've put time and effort into turning into a diorama to a place that sells you things is exactly social Darwinism, though.

Heck, I just donated a few hundred bucks worth of foam kickstarter terrain to my local store... it's pretty common to donate to where you play to make the gaming environment better, at least around here!

(Note: there's no way I had room for that terrain in my house, anyway... it's a bit easy to get too much stuff via KS sometimes . Not that any of you Reaper Bones backers can relate to that, of course! )

Oh no... I checked through all my models to make sure they were all there... didn't think I needed to check for bubbles as well.
In terms of everything accounted for? The only model I'm missing is... Nethyrmaul; I got wyrmgear instead. Or, in addition to


They do seem to have had problems with Nethyrmaul. Mine was missing as well and other people have posted the same problem.

With the exception of a handful of figures which didnt translate well into Bones that ended up with messed up faces and what not, I think it is less about a specific figure having problems and more about probabilities.

Even at a pretty good accuracy rate of say 99%, that will still leave two mistakes per order (on a per figure basis) if you just got the Vampire and no extras. A lot of orders were dead on accurate (mine and all the people I know personally were). With several million miniatures going out to several thousand customers, I am sure if you tallied the various packing goofs up, they would be spread out across the board.

Hmmm... good job I am starting my new (better paid) job in a week's time

Edit: Unless it is their future stuff, or weird/steam punk stuff, which I am not interested in

Given the scope of this undertaking, the accuracy was pretty good, I think. I had 1 wrong figure out of, what was it, 240 minis in vampire? Plus $80 worth of extras. If I got 240 minis from, say, Privateer, I'd probably have to make a dozen claims to their customer service department.

Yeah, you're a couple days late- was spoiled during gencon. August 18th I believe.
Edit: There was a link a couple pages back where Reaper were taking suggestions on what to include with Bones 2. I'm not sure if they're still doing that or not.

My first painted bones mini:



It's a simple conversion, in which I chopped the gun out of the right hand, and swapped the left power fist thing with a cane. He's my Aristocrat/Investigator in IKRPG.

Oh no! More Bones!

Time to start saving my boxtops.

Gods above and below, I've barely started on the first few hundred....

The Auld Grump... worst part? There are still some that I wish that I'd gotten the first time around....

They seem to be working late tonight! They emailed me back today, I emailed them back to clarify the part, and they got right back saying it was packed and ready to pick up.

Can't wait to finish up the model!

So i got a letter from Borderforce, its a declaration form where i have to put how much this all cost and stuff. Anyone else get one of these? What did you put for the amount and reciepts? I get the feeling i am about to get shafted on Customs Charges BIG TIME... gonna hurt...

yup, you're shafted. Don't lie on those kinds of forms though; the few tenners it might save you is NOT worth the risk of a fraud conviction (and trust me, the one field where an offence worth less than fifty quid is still likely to get prosecuted is tax fraud. Government does not like folks holding out on them).

So. My one Bones problem was I got two left arms, no right arm for the super big undead dragon, whassisface, Kaladrax? Anyway I submitted the email, got the replacement (YAY Reaper I love you!). I was so happy, all was now right with my Bones!

I didn't want to misplace it. So I put it on the kitchen passthrough counter, a low traffic/use area. It was only gonna be there till I dug out the box.

It got knocked off, somehow. Nothing gets put there, but by odd coincidence, this one time, it was displaced.... right into the dog crate. The dog who refuses to gnaw on anything artificial. Except Bones, I came to find out.

Yeah that replacement arm is now a gnawed mess. Completely destroyed, unsalvagable.

I'm so disappointed now. Guess I will be repurposing the left arm spare into a right. don't wanna mess with fate and try to get a second replacement ...

Just send them another email and see how much it would cost to buy a replacement arm. They might not help, but it's worth a shot.

I'm finally going through my last pair of Vampire sets, and hopefully the Kalidraxes as well this weekend. I have a question, though - is Mr.Bones supposed to be included in the Vampire level pledge, or was/is he only available as a separate add-on?

He should have been included with the vampire package.. I remember inventorying the figure..

Was he one per vampire, or one per pledge? For some reason I thought it was the latter?

I'm pretty sure he was one per pledge. I only got one anyway, with two vampires.

Yeah, he was one per pledge - whether you got 1 vampire or 5, you only get one Mr Bones.

Ah - but he was available as a $1 add-on, right?

Reaper could really do with some better non-US distribution, there's almost nowhere in the UK that sells their stuff.


SNM Stuff has just started to stock Reaper in the UK. No idea if you know them or not. I've gotten a pile of MIG washes and weathering powders and the like from them in the last year or two, and the guy is a nice bloke. I just got his latest newsletter and thought I'd pass the info on in this thread rather than the Bones2 one.

Initially, we have listed the top sellers from their iconic Dark Heaven Legends range, as well as the Legendary Encounters range of pre-painted ready to use plastic miniatures. We've also got the new Bones figures, produced as a result of one of the most successful Kickstarter funding campaigns ever, which will be listed over the next few days.

As time goes on, and we discover which of their figures you like the best, we're aiming to rapidly expand the selection we carry. It takes 4-5 weeks to get orders across the Atlantic, but if there is a particular figure they do which you would like, let us know and we can add it to our next order to them !
