More?

More!



This month's freeby is Grushnal, Ragged Wound Orc. I don't see any ragged wounds on the model but I suppose it could be on his back, or maybe we're supposed to paint the ragged wound on. Point being, if you ever wanted an orc with a ragged wound, now is the time.



Blue dragon for $30, who can also be used as an Azure Dragon or even a Sapphire Dragon if your paining skills are up to the task.



A Dragon Turtle who combines the speed and agility of a turtle with the swimming skills of a dragon.

And then some more staples




Zombies




Goth Chick



Preppie chick



Mysterious cloak dude



Mysterious hat dude



Barbarian Warlord



COVID tester for Storm Giants



I have these guys in metal and love them, so much character. IIRC he was originally sold as a grave robber but he's since cleaned up his act and is now a licensed grave digger. Whether he's putting bodies in, or taking them out, he's the guy to dig your graves for you.

So there we go, there's a few more on the site, I think just about everything this month is a reissue in Bones Black (the good Bones) that was already out in Bones or Metal.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

Yep, really characterful minis. The big fella carrying the coffin is my current Ogre for classic Warhammer Quest. Many a hapless Barbarian has been summarily squished by a 2D6-wounding coffin slap. And then stuffed into the coffin, which doubles as a handy lunchbox.

He may get inducted into a Mordheim Undead warband as official vampire bed carrier.

Please tell me that his name is “Winnebago” when used for that role…

That Grave Digger is just a legitimate business man and concerned member of the community!

Do not besmirch he's noble profession by accusing him of grave robbery!

Sorry, never saw this. Fantization has had it up for pre-order (now sale) for quite some time. https://www.fantization.com/REM77922.aspx

Of course now it's in general release.

Ah June, the month of Dads and Grads, the start of the lazy hazy days of summer, those days of soda and pretzels and beer.

And turtles of course.



This month's freeby is Waspnettle Lizardman Archer, who can also be used as a lizardwoman if you're so inclined.






We get some more metals now in Bones USA. The Courtesans seem useful, same with the scribe.



One of the strengths of Reaper is how they defy expectations. For example in this Cooper and Smith set, the dude with the barrel is actually named Smith while the lady with the hammer is named Cooper.



On the monster side we have one of the scariest releases yet, Vampire the Masquerade LAPRers, some of them are really way too into it.



2 Ghouls and Ghast. But which is which? And what is the difference? Honestly it's not worth looking through my 30 year old monster manual to find out.



One of the cool things Reaper does is their 'invisible' wraiths which are just empty suits of clothes or armor. Except when it comes to women. Women get bodies. Because they know what side of their bread is buttered.



The politics of race and fantasy RPG is a complex topic fraught with potential landmines. While I welcome inclusivity I don't think it was necessary to specify that this is a 'Moor' troll, surely this figure could be used to represent trolls from across the MENA region or even the whole of the Mediterranean.




Never talk to me or my son again.



And finally after last month's false dawn, the Dragon Turtle has finally arrived in all his glory. Dragon Turtle is protector of planet and friend to all children everywhere!

Play us out Joel and Mike!

Another fine performance of stand-up miniature comedy, Kid Kyoto. I have but one quibble:



With a pose like this, you went with a "Moor" joke? Look at this pose! There must be something hilarious to say about it.

*EDIT* Yep. Checked the website. It's 3d printed.

I think reaper makes some really neat monsters, like their trolls and that turtle. But gosh their female minis are just atrocious with their ridiculously skimpy outfits.

In the process of moving cities and countries again but still time for a Reaper update!


This month's freeby is the Honeythorne Knight, I truly Bee-lieve I must Hive this miniature. This is a 3D print rather than Bones for what it's worth.









First off several adventurers and monsters, some of them I think are exports from Metal , all useful. The Familiars probably most of all.

I've heard that metal models are vanishing one by one so if there is metal model you want it might be a good time to pick it up.



Good to see Lady Pole D'nse living on as a Bones model.



I love that the Elf Chronicler has an electric guitar and, I assume, must learn lightning bolt spell to play anything. As an Elf Chronicler I assume her songs basically go...

Legolas saved the day,
Because he is go great
Frodo helped a lil bit
Before he cleaned his plate





A very nice pit fiend, because sometimes you just need to go with the classics.



And finally we have that infamous Lovecraftian horror Narcolepsy. I'm so glad this finally came out after that unfortunate incident where the sculptor clawed his own eyes out screaming of colors out of space.

So another month down, I know I already got some of these in Metal so it's good to see they will continue in production. Can't say that I'm going to pick up the Bee Knight but the Elf with the Electric Guitar goes on my list.

So happy painting and collecting everyone!

I'm glad to see some of the older line coming to Bones USA as they just weren't that good in OG bones and while I know I have a few in metal I want to see how good Reaper's thermoplastics are on human sized stuff so I might pick some up this year.

Speaking of unspeakable eldritch horrors that shatter the mind...



This month's freebie is a catfolk bard.

(tries to picture a cat with a lute, singing... shudders)

Oh my word... he has a bell around his neck! Well this just got moved up in my queue.
