With only 9 days to go, we have unlocked 12 NEW colors of HD Paint, and the first part of Expansion Two!
Now we're ready to unlock Numenéra Bones! And while we're talking about Numenéra Bones, We'd like to take a second to mention that Monte Cook Games, Makers of Numenéra, are also currently running their own Kickstarter - The Strange, a tabletop RPG by Bruce Cordell & Monte Cook. These are two awesome game designers, with an impressive portfolio of innovative and fun games, and we really want everybody to go check out their latest project.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1433901524/the-strange-a-tabletop-rpg-by-bruce-cordell-and-mo?ref=live And of course, when we unlock Numenéra Bones, we're unlocking Expansion Set 3.
But you guys really want to know what's next? Well, in the comments, you have asked for Angels to battle all the Demons, so we're going to be adding on to Expansion Set 2 next with these wonderful angels! The great warrior Deva, the Angel of Shadow, the Angel of Protection, and two Angels of Sorrow - one crying, one attacking!
But there's More to come!
We've still got more coming for the Core Set!
More Options!
More things to fill out the Expansions!
But we need your help to achieve these new goals! Be sure to follow us on twitter @Reapermini, talk about the Kickstarter using #ReaperBones, Like us on FaceBook, talk about us on every forum you can, and join our forums at reapermini.com/forum to join in the conversation! The more backers we get, the more sweet rewards we unlock for you!
To make it easier for you to track, Dark Purple images will be added to your Core Set, Light Purple are Extra copies of those rewards, Ochre ones are Expansion 1, Orange ones will be available as additional rewards simply by increasing your pledge, Expansion Set #2 is on a Blue background, and Expansion Set #3 is Red!
If it gets overwhelming the Pledge Claculator can help you keep track of it all at https://ks.reapermini.com/ It saves your pledge, so you don't have to remember what you were pledging for, but it's flexible enough that you can make changes to your pledge at any time! For help with the Pledge Calculator - please see our FAQ on the Home Tab.
THANK YOU!

A buck and a half apiece is a good price for paints, but if you mess with the pledge manager, their weight knocks the S&H up a bit. One set has $9 in S&H (total: $27), both bring it up to $12.50 (nearly $49 total).
$50 for 24 paints is still a damned fine deal, but I think I'll have to stick with buying them as I need them from local shops, so sticking with terrain bits for now. Trying to keep my pledge around $40-50 with S&H included, as my credit card is still recovering from the beating it took for the Robotech minis campaign earlier this year.

May be just what's needed to get the last week of pledging rolling strong.

Not sure yet, I'm not well-versed on Reaper's dragons. The KS comments may be the place to check for that info. It looks to be about quite big though, just going off the angle and the size of Sir Forscale. The ruins look impressively large as well, at least 12" in diameter.

Geez. Those ruins are big. I can only wonder how much those would cost at retail. I can see them being at a $50 add on pledge here though. It's probably a good thing I don't care too much for fantasy, otherwise I'd have to order it.

This one:
Nathrax:
...actually...no, that is a new dragon entirely than the newest dragon...
I just double checked and it looks similar to Nathrax from above, but the head is turned the wrong way. I know Julie is sculpting something new right now, and it might end up being another new Guthrie dragon. The appearance looks like some of the GS over 3D printing prototypes I have seen from them in the past year or so though.
Agreed. Bones is perfect for terrain, not sure why they don't put in more of it!
More risk.
Need a bigger mold, more cutting to get there (likely hollow as well - so you have the added costs of a projection mold), less market data on sales for terrain...so more of a chance for it being a drag on the line... There are apparently a lot of terrain pieces that may make it into the various packages, from smaller scatter terrain like the Dungeon Décor and the Expansion #3 stuff as well as a few larger pieces. These ruins are the largest by far though.
Not sure if you have noticed but it also breaks apart into several pieces (4 I think is what I was told). That way you can use them all stuck together or use them split up as the basis for other terrain or just to give a larger area of cover.

I am disappoint. It's definitely not Narthrax next to the ruins.
It looks like Cinder to me.
Definitely not Cinder. The horns are really a dead giveaway on that one.
I double checked all the existing Reaper Dragons (pretty easy...just needed to set them on the table and look). Nothing in their current catalog. The head shape and style matched Narthrax, but the head is pointing the wrong way and the tail on the one next to the ruins sweeps back while Narthrax curves around in front of it.

How can other companies produce Dragons so cheaply when it takes GW at least 50 MSRP to make one! Reaper must hold the world's reserve of special dragon-making-plastic.

Very nice!
Did you find you had to alter any of your usual techniques for painting bones? I'm finding the human type figs faces to be quite challenging.
There’s a difference between having a hobby and being a narcissist.
