A lot of people have problems doing things like doors and windows but can do wall just fine. You also have a variety of board games which use a flat surface but a raised "door" - these work to dress those up a bit.

Not sure if I like the not-tarrasque. He's big, looks cool, but he just seems off to me.

Remove your pledge and start an interweb campaign against them?

Worse Idea than a Room with 50 doors!

The door piece looks awesome. It just needs some straight wall, T-wall & +-wall sections to support it.
A set of Bones Scifi-corridors and rooms would be an awesome package.

Not too sure this is gonna hit the 4 mil mark like I predicted, but then again, Deadzone didn't look like it was headed towards 1.2 mil like I predicted on the last day and it did.

We'll see. Upped my pledge a bit back, but I may even pull in the reigns a bit. I don't know if the core bundles are gonna be able to fetch that much money on e-bay this time around like the Vampire packages did. That and I think too many are planning on grabbing 10 and selling 8 or 9. The more that do that, the less they end up worth, and do I really want to wait a year to risk such a marginal amount of profit?

He really has the "Guy in the Rubber Suit" proportions of the old school Godzilla movies.

Depending on where you stand, it may or may not be your cup-o-tea. I like it, though the first tarrasque I dealt with was this one (knew about them before hand - just never dealt with them):



Has a very guy in the suit proportions to it.

I could see that. Hurts the overall ambiance, but works at the end of the day.

Not 100%, but I think I'm pretty sold on the World Breaker. I'm not positive that the IEMF or IMEF or whatever guys redeem the set for me... They aren't bad at all, would make interesting mercs or scifi swat/private soldiers etc... Hard to balance those greys. Gotta decide if the two batches of terrain justify the cost for me. The bathalians are pretty slick too... Hrmm.... I guess it's going to depend on whether or not there's some kind of CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT massive awesome coming up. The world breaker is a good start on that...

I'm a big fan of the "Not-Tarrasque"

Very nice! The pledges are starting to really roll in now!

I was really hoping for more terrain, so I think I am just going to go in for the paint and a handful of the Core set models here and there. I really don't need another 200 models I might never use, though they are seriously tempting to just own. Some huts or other terrain I would have totally bought as an add on though.

LOL at the barbarian boobies controversy. The Reaper forums and rpg.net forums are filled with the whiniest, most liberal pussies ever. If yu don't respect their dream of being a proud transgender pansexual heteromollusc LGBTQQAGTA5, they flip out.

IMEF Anyone?

F K YEAH!

I gotta say, I'm very pleased by this. But pledging $50 just to get a few figures is a tall order.

I will pick them up singly, or on ebay after the drive, for sure.

Khanjira looks excellent as well. I'll probably pledge, and then up my pledge above what I was planning to pedge.

I also posting this from work now, so the overtime should cover it.

Very pleased by these last two updates.

Does anyone know if Reaper has said anything about adjusting your pledge after the end of the kickstarter? I'm actually going to be Travelling during the ending of it, and I really don't want to miss anything!

Dammit. Now I'm in for #3. New IMEF Marines! That should make Chris Valera happy. It certainly makes me happy.

I'm still not keen on that saucer, but the Greys are growing on me a bit. I think I'd rather have had their not-Terminator robots instead of the UFO. Or that 3-pack of robots they've got.

I figure I can just buy that 1 pack of IMEF marines when it hits retail. There's only a few things in that set that I'd use, and for the $50 cost and year-long wait, I'll just buy some Jerseys from Proxie or make some from Forge World offcuts, and buy shipping containers from Rust Forge. And yeah. One door? What an odd choice... I hope they don't use this half-arsed grab bag of gakky sci-fi to gague further interest in sci-fi minis - in or out of Bones.

You know the entire kickstarter is a half-arsed grab bag of minis, right? In fact, that's Reaper's MO.

I still want the first parth, the bathalains and the k-dudes. And the last thing is fine. I like the barricade and the teeth things, the console and door are ok... Dislike the greys and don't necessarily need another saucer... IMEF guys are pretty neat, but I have lots of space marines/warriors/fighters/soldiers as it is.

I wish there was a way to get some of this stuff not in a pack. I really like the Shadow Demon, the Bathalians and even that computer terminal. I don't want a dumpster, grey aliens or a bunch of angels though.

That's the funniest thing I've read all week.

Retail.

@Sasori: The pledge manager will be open through December. Have a good trip!

Hi. Just wondering if anyone here might know the answer...

I pledged in one of the early core set waves for over $100. Does this mean I have to get a core set when I finalize my items? Or can I forego the core set and divide my $100 proceeds on the expansions/ options only?

My hope is the latter. Having seen the patchiness of the core, I think I'd rather go with just the minis I'm interested in. However Im obviously not super keen on queuing up again from the back again with a $1 pledge...

Kaiju will be mine.

Tired of everyone and their mom standing menacingly on a rock. Would have preferred it just looming over poor Sir ForScale, but alas, it was not to be.

He's still going to be a big boy.

We still need our ruins and GIANT dragon.

Is it wrong to still hope for a not- Tiamat? I'm basically out of luck for any Reptus stuff. Had really hoped for a Bones brood dragon and rider. Maybe next time.

Same here. The Shadow Demon and computer terminal are quite nice, but the sci-fi door, greys, and Kularthi are lame. Some of the big demons and hill giants are nice, but they force you to buy two. I want the columns from the dungeon decor, but not the cavern spires, which are poorly sculpted. The Dragon's teeth are also lame, and they are all the same sculpt. Sir Daniel and Count Lorenth and the town guard with spear standing at attention are good, the rest sucks.

You can probably get it on ebay just after the kickstarter.

I presume that they'll go on general sale at the Reaper store after the KS is done (although obviously not at the same discounted price).

Yeah, but everyone will have piles and multiples of stuff they don't want, and there are those who bought multiples, just to flip them on ebay. So many flooding ebay just after the kickstarter ends will keep prices down. It's why I'll skip out on Cinder and the Hill Giants.

I think I'm finalizing my pledge as:

$100 base pledge
$12 Narthrax
$10 Lords of Darkness
$15 Unleash the Kraken
$18 Master Series Paint 1
$18 Master Series Paint 2
$10 Heroes and Villains
$10 Dungeon Decor II
$6 Dungeon Decor
$12 Mashaaf Great Old One
$15 Verocithrax
$25 Khanjira the World Breaker

$251 total. Yikes.

Ain't enough in the core and too many things I don't want in the expansions to make me pledge for this one. I think the other Bones KS was more 'general', in that I could find a use for most things. Not so much this time.

I bumped my pledge to $300. I really really didn't want to... but yeah, probably staying there. I want:
Core
expansion 1
expansion 3 (still tentative, may drop it back down to 250 if I skip this, or possibly leave it in if they do another huge monster)
world breaker
maybe kraken
large dragon, either narthrax or verocithrax (or however you say it)
hill giants
mashaaf (way too creepy!)
world breaker's large friend (surely, right?)
misc to fill out...

I'm not 100% on expansion 1 but I want almost everything they dumped into the last update for it, as well as not hating the dragon, scorpion... The derro are growing on me too.

Expansion 3... Gah I want to love it but I don't at the same time. Even if you rate all of the pieces at $5ish (terrain, bathalians, sets of 3-5 smaller models as 5), it still comes out as decent value and I really want the whole first part, the last part sans lonely door, the bathalians kwah...yeah. Heck I could even convert the saucer to match my mars attacks stuff. I just don't want the greys too much.

Well, I don't even know if they'll pull out the big monster at 2.825 mil at this point. We'll see. Reaper may want to bust out one last trick early to give it that little extra umph.

I am 100% sure it will reach the Tarrasque and more.

How do you not see it happen?? In the last 24 hours they have pulled over 200k, I see them making that or at least doubling it before the end..

I get your concerns, the focus on monsters in the core really hurt. I like gnolls and bugbears and such, but they shoulda had 8 varying poses, or gave you the option to pledge for heroes or monsters.

I just got in because it came with enough stuff that it's like 77 cents per figure, or somesuch.

One I tallied up what it would cost to get what I wanted outta the core anyway, I just decided to get the whole thing.

Sure, and it works well when they're priced in the way that KS1 was. Now? Not so much...
