Darn it the model I want the most right now - dragonwolf - is a core pledge addon.

In previous campaigns they broke down the Core Set into smaller add-ons too, after there was enough stuff in it to make reasonable themed bundles.

It is too bad that the material is so poor. If these were being done by cmon in their pvc material I'd be all over it. But they just lose so much detail in Bones they aren't worth painting.

the new |bones black| material is quite different from the older rubbery white bones material, and far superior. much harder, better details and mould lines can for the most part be scraped off.
They are on record that most if not all the smaller minis are going to be made in bones black.

So the Dungeon Dwellers expansion is something we can buy through the pledge manager later, right?

Yeah, I got a number of items in Bones black from their last Kickstarter, and while it is an improvement, I still find the figures to have softer details than I find enjoyable to paint.

Yes, you just pledge whatever you want and then the Pledge manager lets you specify what you are and are not going to get with that money. It also lets you add more money and Reaper tends to leave it open for a pretty long time. Of course money added after the KS has two key differences:
1) It all goes to Reaper (no KS taking a cut)
2) It won't unlock new stretch goals. So ideally you pledge for as much as you need/can afford during the campaign to help toward unlocking more. There is utterly no shame at all in putting down a £1 pledge and adding more in the manager later.

Cool, thanks!

They've just added a Ballista for $6 to the options. This, plus the catapult for $6, is a definite buy from me. I am hoping they aren't too large, so I can fit them on a 50mm base easily for Kings of War, but regardless, they are a great buy.

I can see myself wanting multiples of those, the $14 Dragon Aganzarax (one of the nicest dragons of theirs I have seen), potentially the War Mammoth, and most likely the Dungeon Dweller add-on. I also will want the Elf Rangers from the core set, as well as multiples of the goblins from the Dungeon Dweller set.

I am really liking the offerings for this KS, though I will have to be mindful of the size of such things. When I got the Silver Dragon and Flying Roc from the last one, I didn't expect them to be as massive as they are. Still fantastic though.

Yeah, they need some Sir Forscales in their for reference.

Without a doubt I'll end up with that Daimyo expansion.
Samurai Dinosaurs are something I've long wanted. Might as well get their fantasy counterparts while I'm at it!

Words I did not expect to read today.

I’m going to have to pledge $1 and upgrade in the pm, it seems. I’m looking forward to the core set, Dragonborn, the big Azgadrabaz dragon (or whatever his name is), and the daimyo expansion. This campaign is only a day old and already expensive.

Highlord gonna Highlord!

I am but a simple man of simple mind.

I'm always down for more fantastical Japanese stuff though.

Dinosaurs just make it infinitely better. Legit curious what else ends up in this set. I know more Oni have been shown off.

Well I skipped the last 2 Kickstarters after having gotten the first 2. I might just get in on this one...maybe then I'll make a dent in the minis I have stored in a plastic bin.

Hey, if you need warmachines, you can also try finding these

Why does the Daimyo pledge have no human Samurai? So far as I know, there's still only one Bones Samurai, and he's a crappy older sculpt. There's a crapton of human Knights, Wizards, clerics, barbarians, but no more human samurai?

Does anyone here have an educated guess about what the catapult ($6 add-on) and ballista ($6 add-on) would retail for after the campaign?

Who knew that the "spice" would be samurai dinosaurs? They are actually kind of nice, but nothing I see myself ever, ever needing.

Not sure but the Diamyo bundle really just seams to be monsters and randomly dinosaurs. Not really that happy with it.

Day 2 and the core set has 114 figures plus 50 1" bases.

Welp, there goes the idea of putting the dragon on a 75x75mm base...

Mammoth looks like a good fit for my KoW Ogres!

Yep! More bases!

I'm not super chuffed about inflating my shipping cost with piles and piles of worthless bases.

There is always some D!#@$@s every year asking for bases. Loudly and often. Reaper is more than happy to oblige them because their bases are super cheap. But you know, MDF bases are cheaper.

Looks like it might be too large, even for them. I don't know if the base size in game is going to change, but this bad boy would break it even if they went to 100 x 150mm.

I don't mind the bases. I've used them for all sorts of projects since I've always got a restock at some point or another just from the Reaper kickstarters.

It's the demanding a pirate ship I'm getting sick of hearing.

If they want a cheap pirate ship they should just buy the playmobile one
