Anyway, I love Reaper's eclectic, even eccentric choices for new minis. I'm really curious to see what shows up in Bones 4. Perhaps a terrifying headless scarecrow, or maybe just a hoarding squirrel. You never know.

Maybe they'll do the opposite of chibi and make the bodies huge and cartoony and the heads "normal". That way you'll be tempted to buy both and then do some conversions to have full cartoony and non- cartoony of the same figures.

Does anyone know what's going on with the retail release of KS 2? I've been waiting for certain releases to drop, like the paladin on horse, and it still hasn't hit retail. Did they can some of their minis before release?
Do you mean this guy?


He is available in their store, right now - I don't know about Alliance or other distributors.

No, I mean the other guy on horse. Bones 2 had three mounted characters in one of the expansions: a dwarf on a bear, an overlord on spiky horse (the guy you posted, whom I have bought), and a paladin guy on a horse with angelic armor. My iPad can't seem to get to Greg Botch's Bones 2 site or I would link it.

The guy in the top right? No I've not seen him released, nor the bear.

To tell the truth don't think any bones have hit retail for a few months. Granted they're working on shipping Bones 3, the CAV bones and presumably setting the stage for Bones 4, so it may just have slipped.

That's the guy! Thanks! I've seen (and bought) the other two, but I haven't even seen Sir Danel on the Reaper site yet.

CAV 1 shipped a while ago. Is CAV 2 supposed to ship soon? I'm interested in many of those minis, but the pledges for that kickstarter presumed too much. (That is, they assume a backer actually cares about using those minis for the specific game for which they were sculpted and wants to buy them by the formation or whatever tactical unit the rules describe. Such hubris!)

I suspect Reaper is just really behind on their orders. My flgs was supposed to receive CAV months ago and still hasn't got its shipment yet.

I can verify seeing that bear in the wild.

You need one let me know, I'll see if I can capture one this weekend.

They put out another Bones III update, with a confirmation that the boat is heading towards the US and should be there before the end of the year.

Also, an unboxing of the BFG:

That is seemingly ridiculously large. Like.. 1.5-2x Basilisk size.. or am I seeing it wrong?

You're seeing it exactly how it was intended, I think...

It is supposed to be that big!

Sorry if I missed it, but do we have a retail price yet for the Sledgehammer?

AKA the poor man's Warlord Titan Quake Cannon bits?

Man, I should have gotten two. That looks awesome. But not really that huge once it was out of the box.

It is called the BFG a.k.a. BIG F*CKING GUN after all. If it wasn't big some American would no doubt sue because of false advertising.

Hmm, come to think, some would no doubt get the impression that the gun is not for fighting, but for other.. things if put like that.

After the 12 Days of Reaper? We're going to get ready for our next promotion - Reaper's 25th Anniversary Year-long Free Figure-of-the-Month Promotion.


No other news, but here's the thread: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/72303-split-reapers-25th-anniversary-promotion/

I asked if the year long promo stacked with their Halloween and Christmas promotions (assuming they have 'em).

EDIT: Tentatively... yes! : http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/72303-split-reapers-25th-anniversary-promotion/?p=1485415

Yeah. Like the 12 days but it's the 12 Months of Reaper's Anniversary... My title's even worse than Ron's!

Basically, every qualifying order through the entire year will receive a free figure. There's a January Figure, a February Figure, a March Figure, and so on.

There's also lots of other promotional items planned for 2017, because it's not every year you turn 25! But we'll be kicking off the New Year with a new free figure.

Ron said he'd put me back in the box if I spilled the beans, but I can say that we've taken some of our favorite models from the last 25 years (and some new ones!) and asked the sculptors to lavish them with some TLC, and update some of them with brand new sculpts and re-imagine those heroic (and villainous) characters, making them better than ever!

I'll let Ron tease you with images and stuff though.


Sound like they be remixes of their favorites.

I was just browsing through their site and a few minis caught my eye.

This little guy is adorable, or terrifying, depending on your view.

Halfling thinks of nothing but murder all day.


Cake frosting demon?


Not-Necrons, or possibly Not-Tinboyz.

Not-M&M's, either.

Christmas promotion is over. ): See you in January!

That halfling is cool. I like when they have models with outfits that aren't generic character sheet looking things.. It just seems like there's a bit more to the story when it's something like that. It doesn't hurt that it's a really nice sculpt and paintjob

From Reapermini.com''s front page (scroll down):

In honor of 25 years of creating some of the gaming industry’s finest miniatures, we’re pleased to announce our Special Edition 25th Anniversary Miniatures. Each month in 2017 we will be releasing a new 25th Anniversary Miniature that will only be available during that month. Each of these 25th Anniversary miniatures is cast in high-quality metal and features the same amazing sculpting that customers expect from Reaper’s artists and designers. Our first 25th Anniversary Miniature appropriately features the Grim Reaper sculpted by Bob Ridolfi, and will only be available during January 2017.

The good news is you can get your 25th Anniversary Grim Reaper for free! Starting January 1, you'll receive a free 25th Anniversary Grim Reaper for each qualifying order of $40 (in your local currency - USD, GBP, Euro, AUD) or more placed right here on www.reapermini.com! And what's more, for each $40 you spend, you'll receive an additional copy of the 25th Anniversary Grim Reaper - $80 for two, $120 for 3, etc. there's no need to place multiple orders on the same day! The FREE 25th Anniversary Grim Reaper is automatically added to your cart...you don't have to to anything else.


Reaper Ron: "We're always glad to hear suggestions! But you're right, we've already got most of the 12 minis planned and the first four are already finished! You're going to see several old concepts reimagined. So, 1600 Grim Reaper is sort of a resculpt of the old 2019 Grim Reaper, also by Bob Ridolfi. Hint for the February mini: it's a resculpt/reimagining to one of Julie Guthrie's very first Reaper sculptures. "

Sakura says the mini will also be available for $15.
