Beautiful to see that the nice bits they had in the works for Conan weren't lost to that gakky Pulpasaurus Kickstarter.

Free stuff!

Made in the USA!

Latest Core:

I used all those 1" bases from the last kickstarter to rebase MageKnight figures for D&D. Pretty sure I can find a use for all of these as well.

Okay, some larger Bones -- and a boat!

Spartans just unlocked. Crowley says "Total Gain 24 Hours: $21,414"

The Bones III Stoneskull expansion was offered in the KS for $50 and retailed for $80.

Some smaller miniatures as SG's on the KS page.

I totally don't need more Bones, but that Dreadmere expansion is awfully tempting.

Yeah, until today, I never knew I needed a barrel o' fish miniature.

Those look like photos of existing metal miniatures for some of the dreadmere expansion, I tried using reaper's mini search tool without success, does anybody happen to know what the metal equivalents for Reisman, Worden, and Wladislaw are? I really like those.

Dreadmere Part 1 just makes me want tot buy the top row of 4 figures in metal so I can get them in hand in a few weeks, in good quality metal rather than the crappy soft bendy PVC.

Have they said anything about whether the Living Statues sets will be in soft or hard PVC?

Are you talking about the male statues? Because that's a bit personal...

Judging by the uncensored pictures I would say soft..

Anyone else remember the Boothill Boys from America Sings?

Secret Weapon Miniatures has tree stumps you could remount the vultures onto for one-inch obstacles.. Might be worth a magnetizing project: http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=439

03793: Townsfolk of Dreadmere: Mercenaries (3) ($19.79)

They must have snuck some of those releases out. I don't remember ever seeing them.

Did Kid Kyoto post 'em back in January when Reaper says they were released?

Some of those expansion dudes looked familiar, but not the fish barrel or the drunk with his tankard...at least to me.

Yep, February actually

They're still on my to buy list along with the fish monger. If/when I cut down my backlog a bit.

Ok, I went in. Everyone else should too so we can get Dreamere part 2!

I am still disappointed I didnt have the money to fully back Bones 3, too many hard decisions, so much cool stuff slipped through my wallet. This time I have the cash and I will fix this.

Don't worry Bones earned about a million in the first day, and will do the same on the last. We haven't seen the big stuff yet.

Living Statues? Maybe.

Cave Dwellers? Yes! Love these.

Dreadmere? No, I'll buy these in metal.

Tree of Woe Despair? Yes! Great terrain piece or as a centerpiece for a scenario.

Ut-oh, they added a not~grell, not my favorite monster from the Fiend Folio!

Man, I really wish they'd change the bones material to CMON PVC for smaller figures or just accept the limitations of the material and sculpt with it in mind. Those maggotcrown soldiers will be fine, but so much of the rest of Dreadmere is going to be a blobby, ill defined mess. Bones figures shouldn't have a bunch of details on them. It's a waste of time to sculpt buttons, buckles and bits that arent going to come out and will just make the figure look worse. Clean lines, simple design.

Between the core set knights and soldiers and these maggot crown guys, Reaper is finally making some troops above the Mantic Men at Arms quality threshold.

Also, that Cthonic Hivewarden...mmmmm.

What, ya never played Mordheim?

Dreadmere and the Tree of Despair are both whispering Mmmooorrrdheeeiiimmm to me, in tones dulcet and low....

The Auld Grump

The tree of despair won't be delivered for another year and a half. At the rate GW is rereleasing old games I give it about 50/50 odds of Mordheim being rereleased about the same time.

That Dreadmere Expansion is just the kinds of thing that I was hoping to see in this Kickstarter!

The Core set is okay, but aside from the Fire Demon (or is it Daemon? I don't know anymore...) and Dragon Turtle, I am just not really excited by the add-ons of this Kickstarter. That tree is neat, and the statues might be cool to have, but I don't know for sure how I feel about some of them. I do know that I'm not a fan of chibi anything though. My family can paint those up if they want.

The Chronoscope expansion just doesn't really call to me in any way aside from the Dinosaur-humanoids in armor with ray guns (space traffic cones?). I would hope for something akin to the Stoneskull and Mythos expansions.

I would really like to see some more dragons and big monsters. I backed Bones 3 because I missed the first two, and was excited at picking up a bunch of dragons and big monsters. My wife and step-daughter are also really excited to paint up dragons and big monsters. I hope we can get a few more dragons and big monsters. I know not everyone wants more dragons and big monsters, but those are some of my favorite models to have at this point (Goremaw is especially lovely!). At this point in Bones 3 ($1.27 million) we had 3 of the Dragons unlocked, and right now the only one is in the Core set from the beginning.

I really hope we get some Mouselings at some point; if someone were to ask me what Reaper does different from the other miniature companies, I would point out the Mouselings models to them.

I assume as well that there will be a Sophie model at some point, yes?

Yep! Nothing announced yet, but expecting it.

Core set has just passed the 100 mini's mark. Yep. All that Gauth for less than a buck.

Chaos Titan to be unlocked!

It's a fun mini, but not $20 fun imho.

It just doesn't look right. What is going on with the extensions?!? Baba Yaga's porch? Baba Yaga's... patio on the side there? Just looks way too homey. Plus I feel like the patio would fall off as soon as the legs stood up. I would prefer a more traditional look:

I remember that game, that was a good game.

The funding trend took a small, but identifiable hit after the racism and transphobia incident yesterday, that's why we suddenly got Baba Yaga's hut announced and for a lot smaller gap in stretches.

Someone posted screenshots of Reaper's long time CoO making comments in support of the "Unify the Right" white supremacist march in Charleston, and then directing transphobic abuse at someone who disagreed with him, on facebook, in public. Lots of people posted they were pulling their pledge, many other people reinforced that we're in a terrible hobby filled with terrible people and posted they agreed with him and increased their pledge because the snowflake cucks. Reaper had a board meeting, made a statement of regret, the guy posted a public apology, and I think a reprimand is what they're leaving it at.

It was a pretty big and bad mid project dent, which is why we got the hut early and at a much lower funding goal.
