Every Werner Klocke female is awesome, and usually well proportioned. At least her boobs aren't hanging out. His dwarves are great, too.

Yeesh, totally forgot this offer. Stacks with the free 25th Anniversary Mini.

If you only care about quantity, this is the best deal of the year, with two mini's and three paints.

Next deal would be Christmas. I *think* they said they'd have a 25th Anniversary Mini, which you would then get with a "12 Days of Reapermas" miniature.

Learn to Paint Kits are almost $40. : http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/paint%20kit

What is it with Halloween and rocks?

Reference to the old Charlie Brown Halloween cartoon.

Something along the lines of:
I got a lollipop!
I got a chocolate!
(Charlie Brown) I got a rock...

Well it's the spookiest, ookiest, fzookiest time of the year and that means...

MORE METAL

And Reaper does not disappoint!



First off All Hallow's Eve, a hard working farmgirl ready to reap the wheat, drive off the crows, hang a lantern and sweep the porch!



Next we have Sethis, a useful casualty figure for your field hospital dioramas.



Then a poor accident victim who I assume is coming to comfort Sethis and show that with some physical therapy he will one day walk again.



While her friend shows that a long coat can conceal unslightly scars. But only if you remember to button it!



And the dapper physical therapist is there to have them all get down to work.



There's also Octavio, the Guard Who Couldn't See Too Good. I mean am I wrong? That vision slit only exposes the bridge of his nose!



And Barzillai, who, if I understand his armor correctly, is about to transform into a speed boat.

Yeah, OK, this is not a great lot. The monsters are servicable if you're looking for vampires and Frankensteins. Eve is very nice, but I'm not sure she's $12 worth of nice. And the two Pathfinders figures are just... odd. Maybe the make some sense in context.

Ah well. Maybe next month.

Speed boat armor? Are they trying to make GW deraedo style dreadnoughts?

I kinda figured they were mostly joking about the rock... but no. You really can just get a rock. In a blister pack.

Not as good as their invisible stalker blister packs they send out for April fools. (The package is empty, but is labeled invisible stalker .

I really like the witch girl, the mummy, and the Frankenstein monster. The vampires are pretty generic, and I'm not wild about the two armored fellows.

The November mini is out



I didn't read the fluff on him but I believe it's an elven warrior walking on his knees and wearing a novelty beard from the costume shop.

A few years back, I got an actual Rock from Reaper. It occupies a place of pride/shame on my desk.

This year I got a bones ghost of some sort, which is cool, because it is already translucent green, so with a few washes and details it should be ready to go.

Many are. But that one's got a mangled face and serious proportion issues.

The awe it inspires is mostly horror.

That is awesome! They Charlie Browned you!

LOL. Quote of the day.

I think Eve is solid also, but $12? Why? When did Reaper start charging that for single figures?

Mostly a way to keep the limited edition anniversary figures... limited.

It is $12, or free if you place a big enough order - pretty sure they are happier if you place a $40 order...

I like that dwarf, though for some reason he sounds like John Rhys Davies in my head....

Hey I was just thinking about making a space hulk, where can I get one of those rocks?

No details, but Bryan Stiltz has announced his leaving Reaper at the end of the year: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/77889-a-message-to-my-reaper-family/&tab=comments#comment-1650507

"Reaper friends and family,

For the last 15 years, I have had an amazing home here at Reaper Miniatures. Reaper has given me so many opportunities, and they have meant so much to me. The community, both online and at conventions around the country, has been an amazing part of my life. It has been an honor to be considered a leader of this community, and to be a valued part of an organization I cherish so much. Reaper is my family, and you are all a valued part of that family.

And so, it is with both excitement and sadness that I announce that this is my last year at Reaper. At the end of December, I will be leaving Reaper Miniatures to pursue exciting opportunities elsewhere in the gaming and hobby industry.

I wish nothing but the best for my family at Reaper, and to all of my friends here and at conventions around the country.

Thank you,

Bryan Stiltz"

Rampant speculation: His wife owns a casting company, so it could just be his working in "the family business". AFAIK, He is (or now was) one of the owners of Reaper. He's been the face of Reaper on the Reaper forums for many years.

An interesting titbit from him in a recent reaper thread was that they go through a ton of metal a week

Looks like Kaladrax has been discontinued, so here's you last (?) chance : http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/77988-december-specials/&page=2

Reaper usually only offers three big items during its BF. December's coming up, so you could wait for the "12 Days of Reapermas" figures as well as their December "25th Anniversary" figure.

Spend $40 at the Reaper website and get November's "25th Anniversary" figure!

Wonder if that means he'll be back at the size they originally wanted?

Good question.

BF promotion is over. The free miniatures for the "12 Days of Reaper" will be announced December 4th. Free "25th Anniversary" miniature has been announced. Miniatures are free with $40 purchase. See website for details.

Because Reaper loves us (and I happened to be trolling their website when this was posted) , they are also doing a Mr. Bones Christmas Sampler.


Naughty? Nice? A bit of both? No matter. Starting tomorrow, December 1, every qualifying order placed at Reapermini.com will get a little Christmas surprise. Specifically, a Mr. Bones' Christmas Sampler - a stocking filled with Reaper goodies. If you've been nice, you'll find a festive surprise in your stocking. If you've been naughty, well, you'll just have to wait and see.


Any order over $65 (in your purchasing currency - USD, GBP, Euro, AUD) will get a Mr. Bones' Christmas Sampler added automatically. No need to do anything else. One Sampler per order, and we'll keep adding them to orders while supplies last.

So it seems that if you spend $65 in the right period, you should get free shipping, the 25th anniversary figure, the 12 days of Reaper figure, AND the stocking.

Unfortunately I just did a Halloween order! Trying to convince the wife that all the kid relatives need Bones for Christmas...

During our 12 Days of Reaper promotion, running December 6th through the 17th, you'll receive the FREE Miniature of the Day 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 that Miniature of the Day - $80 for two, $120 for 3, etc. there's no need to place multiple orders on the same day! The FREE Miniature of the Day is automatically added to your cart...you don't have to to anything else.

So... for $80, you get two "25th Anniversary" figures, the Bones sampler, and two (of the same) "12 Days of Reaper" miniature. Any suggestions for which day to get? I'm thinking 12/16 for six total Santa's Helpers.

I can't imagine that I could use most of those for anything, but the Father Christmas could probably make a pretty good Wizard, maybe for old Warhammer Quest.

Wizard or druid, definitely.

I have used the Goblin Carolers in a steampunk game, as, uhm... goblin carolers.

Pretty sure I can find a use for the Christmas Mockingbeast - maybe for a kids game.

The Auld Grump

Well the days are getting shorter and colder and that can only mean one thing, the Warg Sköll is devouring the sun and the time of Ragnerok is upon us.

Or Christmas is coming.

One or the other.

Reaper has clearly chosen their side with the latest releases, all in God's own Casting Medium... METAL

How do we know that METAL is God's own casting medium? Glad you asked.

One of Reaper's more interesting aspects has been their willingness to dive into other areas that might broaden their appeal, from painted dinosaurs for museums to well... this.



This month sees the release of the third wise man for the nativity so for those of you who started your Reaper brand nativity scene in 2010 the time has come!



And needless to say all in METAL

Christmas (damnit! not some nebulous 'holidays' or 'the season' #$%^ing Christmas) is the theme this month with a proverbial French crapton of METAL Christmas minis.

A pack Reindeer



A Christmas Rogue, who I assume is stealing presents and roast beast Grinch style



Puns abound with Carol the Christmas Bard



The sorceress Christmas Eve...


And two Christmas Knights!




And three Santa Dwarves, I like how these 3 tell a story

Arriving at the family Christmas party

After some hard cider

And the end of the evening after someone brought up Trump.


Mrs Claus rounds things out.

Just the thing to go with that Reaper Santa you've been meaning to paint since 2010.

Yeah I know how it is.

And some standard Fantasy figures


Aurelio is a Bonehedge wizard, an important job, he and his ferret familiar trim your bone hedges so they don't get overgrown


While Vatanis Maggotcrown is a necromancer who, I assume, can grow your bone hedges. Though looking at him I'm not sure he actually has a maggot crown. Social climber.


A female pirate and I ain't gonna lie she goes right on the shopping list.

Finally a female Dusk Warden who I assume wards your dusk.


Looks like we're reaching the end of this thread, but I think we can look forward to a Reaper 2018 thread sometime next month!

Merry Christmas!

Pics no worky.

They work on my PC and phone...

Anyone else having issues?

Work fine for me

Odd. They work fine if I pull the urls from the post and copypaste 'em into a new tab, but nothing shows up in the thread.
