The detail capable in this bones stuff is very promising. One thing I asked on the KS page but don't think I got a response to was if this could be considered the "First" concept to model in the bones range.

IE - Is this the first example of what we can expect to see when something has been created specifically for bones. I believe the current range is re-purposed older metals.

If that is the case, then I can't wait to see how it matures once the sculptors get a handle on how the greens will translate over to bones and really start pushing the material.

I mean, just look at those lion clasps and the other detailing around the armour. If you told me that was a rubbery plastic out of the blue I wouldn't believe you.

I believe there are a few sculpted for bones figures kicking around. A female human wizard by Klocke and a male human wizard by bobby jackson. They showed up as previews in march or so iirc.

These ones:

Whether its a green or a bones figure I have plenty of the bones figures and they are packed with detail.. They are rubbery plastic thats for sure, but for the amount of money they cost makes them a wonderful buy..

I'm not sure this is bones, rather a painted prototype probably a resin master of the sort that will then be sent to china to be turned into a bones figure

I imagine they'll be mastering them for Metal and Resin as well. Because why would you not?

Cheesecake the giant is looking pretty good!

She looks pretty cool, I have to say

wow. the flaming characters look absolutely stunning. They've got me tempted to buy another pair to paint up.

Wow, they came out really good

Excellent fire elemental!

I can't wait until they get their KS Manager page going.

That flame elemental looks like he'd be a blast to paint.

They DO look great especially the flames on the Large Elemental !! I think the twist in the pose of the sculpt makes it much more dynamic and menacing than the KS artwork.

And no painting required ... these will be cast in translucent red/orange resin.

The large fire elemental is stunning

the medium one could do with a little more detail on the wings IMO

The snakeman sculpt is good, but it's one of the ones I probably won't use

The facial features of the middle one remind me of this:



Which also might be a good indicator of what they might look like once cast up.

Their large fire elemental is probably the best I've seen, and I won’t have to paint it! I like the snake man too.

specifically why i want to order a second one. So I CAN paint it.

Ah, I get it ...

It does look like a fun model to paint. But, for me, I'll focus on the other 200+ Bones before I even think about painting these. Then again, a little wash and thin highlight might be a nice touch ...

New Update

Post KS Reaper Pledge Manager info & More Sculptures


Update #67 · Sep. 21, 2012 · 10 comments





If all goes well, it looks like we will be publishing the RPM by the end of next week, if not sooner. Get yourselves ready! I know, like you haven’t been prepared for weeks now, right? The system is about done and ready for us to test for a day or two and make sure it won’t break when you use it.

We’re sorry it took us so long, but the volume of backers and the complicated nature of our Kickstarter was more than we had originally anticipated. Like with most things, you do your best to think of everything and then you have to make changes on the fly when a problem rears it’s ugly head, like the International shipping issues we did not foresee.

Please note that due to the delay, the pledge manager will only be active for placing your final reward selections for about 10 days. You will be able to change your shipping address at any time, but you will have to lock in your order within 10 days. We need to get our final numbers as rapidly as possible so we can get everything finalized by next March like we planned.

Anyone that misses the deadline we will handle on a case by case basis. Don’t worry we won’t leave you in the cold, but we do ask that you do your best to complete your requests within the time frame allotted to save us gobs of trouble.

Just so you know we are not slouches here at Reaper. We have started casting up the Sophie models and started bottling paint so we can start shipping as soon as we have some information to ship against. So, we should be able to get a significant portion of the first shipments out this month as we planned. We are sure things will probably bleed over a bit into October, but we won’t be too far behind schedule!

Also, here are a few more original sculptures for some of the minis that were just concept art.



Lizard Man Warrior by Gene Van Horne



Lizard Man Spearman by Gene Van Horne



Storm Giant by Julie guthrie

Wow I'm highly impressed with both the storm giants. Really happy I went in on this now.

The lizardmen look pretty cool - I like them much more than their concept art made me think I would.

As to the storm giant... I am trying to decide whether I like his head and its positioning or not... it seems too low and small. The rest of the model looks pretty cool though.

Best thing to ask yourself is "Does he look good for the ~50 cents he cost me?" lolol

Na...HELLSYEAH!

When you put it like that I am very happy with him

I like the storm giant more than the concept art (looked a bit dwarfish to me), and the lizardmen are good too.

Indeed. All painted up she's no slouch.


Good deal them getting the RPM up and running. Can't wait to fire it up. Now that the initial spend is forgotten I may drop a couple more bills into cheap minis. Yum!

There is nothing that I haven't liked in the greens, very impressed

Only thing I don't like about that Dwarf is that I'm still waiting on Jason to finish up a sculpt for us. :/

Yeah their sculpts lately have been pretty awesome..

I agree to a point, but if measuring my expectations by the 50 cents I'm paying there are lots of batches of figs I can pick up for around .5 to 1 buck each that will be more than a good deal. I hold reaper to a higher level than that. Luckily there isn't a fig in the batch that seems subpar to me. There are some who are a bit older in style, but none of them look bad to me.

Really glad that the female paladin was one of my picks in our club's split of the Vampire deal. Looks like a very nice figure in a very modern style of sculpt.

I wish that I had skipped the Mantic KS and just gone with this one. Now I have both and need to offload a bunch of Mantic stuff. (Primarily using all of this for D&D minis.)

Either way, the greens have been great and I can't wait until I get these.

Female Paladin as a constance blaize stand in?

Me gusta.
