That vampiric Vampire Hunter is so pale he/she looks like Michael Jackson. The paintjob doesn't help here for sure.

I like the Vamp Hunter and the Duellist. Not being stripper outfits is always a great start for female models!

Actually, she's prolly based on D

Or Hugh Jackman? (If you remember that film?! )

Love the Clint Eastwood-esque ape..

I... actually need that Dire Sloth (yes that's a real thing).

It's an Angry Dire Sloth..

Can stand in for a mutated bear.

It's also a legal option for an animal companion in Pathfinder. I may have a character who has one of those scary mother fiddlers. >.>

The nice thing is the metal model probably moves about as fast as a real one!

That Hunter is totally D.

That sloth is nice, too bad it doesn't hold a candle to this one. Spoilered for incoming awesomeness.


That sloth would look perfect with all my hairy Fomorians that are currently clogging up my painting que.

The first pic there made me think it was a miniature of ALF. Sadly, not to be. Though I think 7TV have one...

The only Alf I know of is by a very small company called 4 A Miniatures (a very reasonable £2!)

About halfway down this page http://www.fouraminiatures.com/page2.htm

I painted one up for an Infinity civilian, they are actually really nice minis. Added a stogie to this one, I've got two of them next one is getting dungarees and a trucker's cap.

Let's get our terminology straight here.

She's Rule 63 D

I know this may come as a shock to many of you who saw the recent Grey Knights 'release' but there are miniature companies out there that actually from time to time... release miniatures!

Shocking I know.

And Reaper is one of them!

First off several of the figures from recent previews are now in shops, including Vampyre Huntress D'neice



And some I don't remember seeing before:



Swordcane McHappyface and



Lady Devilears Skullstaff of the Rather Long Belt

And with a new release of course comes... NEW PREVIEWS!

First off we have another iconic monster, a creature out of our nightmares who has been seen in countless fantasy stories and faced heroes like Conan.



I believe it's called a Giant Sloth.

Then we have another long-awaited miniature a...

um...

uh...



Small child who looted a thrift shop?

Maybe?

Then we have Crow, the Ironic Bloodrager.



He's ironic because everyone is all like 'stay away' 'that guy's a psycho bloodrager' but in fact if they got to know him they'd learn he's a pacifst, a vegetarian, a yoga guru and that big hammer of his is because he volunteers for Habitat for Humanity on weekends. People should really learn not to be so judgmental.

Speaking of looting thrift shops...



The Iconic Investigator would be a great addition to anyone doing Dark Heresy or Rogue Trader, he's got just the right amount of @#$% on him to qualify as a 40k character.



And this Dwarf Gambler looks ready to out-bargain and undercut your Rogue Trader crew.

Then there's this fellow



A man of mystery.

Like, how does he hold a sword like that without cutting off his own head? Is that one of the powers of an exaulted Warpriest? So many mysteries...



Here we have another model who really tells a story. Y'see this one time Nella was tickling her kitty's belly with a feather and then, um... @#$% I got nothing.

Y'know how last time I joked about needing a were-sloth to go with the giant cave sloth?



They're listening...

And y'know how I joked about making a whole army of cyborg armadillos?



It's closer than ever to reality.

Then there's this...



I'm sure when I see it painted it will give me nightmares for weeks.

Speaking of nightmares



I think we have your perfect Islamic State militant here.

ANd finally there's this Bones creation coming next month



Khanjira the World Breaker

IIRC, a typical 28mm figure comes up to like, her ankle.

So there we go, a miniature company that not only releases miniatures rather than retreaded and up-priced rule books, but releases a rich selection with something for just about anyone.

Happy shopping!

They do have a lot of Irony.. things. Or Icons, whatever.

Haha, I've never bought a Reaper mini, but I keep coming to this thread for the previews.

Does anyone know a UK Reaper stockist that doesn't charge ridiculous prices, there's some of their stuff I'd really like to get hold of.

The best UK stockist of Reaper I've found is http://miniature-heroes.co.uk/

They get pretty regular orders in from Reaper in the USA so if there is something you want you can get them to order it (I've done this for Reaper paints personally)

Cheers!

Love that investigator

Neat stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Can't wait to get hold of the worldbreaker.

And darn your manowar, I've gotta go listen to some Van Canto just 'cause.

I love this thread. t just keeps on giving - on so many levels. And I always come away wanting to buy a bunch of them. What's Reaper's ROW free shipping threshold now? Still $100? I swear, if they'd kept it at $50, I'd have spent SO Much money on their stuff....

Not sure how close they are, but one of their relatively short term goals is a Reaper office in Europe somewhere (likely the UK). Shipping from the UK to Australia is significantly cheaper than shipping from the US to Australia.

I just shipped a pretty small package to Australia and it cost me $28.40 with no tracking. Few weeks before that, I shipped some stuff to the UK - and it cost $32.79 (again, no insurance, no tracking). It sucks a bunch, but with the USPS charging what they do - until they get an overseas distribution center (ideally with manufacturing capabilities...which is the hang up for them), I don't think it will be dropping back down to $50.

They are always good for something you didn't quite realize you needed...or figured you needed...but never thought anyone would make it.

For as many retreads of typical fantasy tropes we get from Reaper (as I'm sure that's what sells), nobody can argue with the sheer breadth and randomness of some of the figures they put out.

I'm sure I'll get a few... just because.

I've got a soft spot for trying to paint those Wayne Reynolds designed figures, despite my distaste for painting humans.

Sure you will be able to reach $50 in armoured armadillos soon Azazelx, which will surely make it a worthwhile order!

I've ordered from this company a couple of times, can thoroughly recommend them.

I have more unpainted Reaper miniatures than I have unpainted 40k miniatures...

I have a problem. :-)

Another release I missed.



They're called zombie minors but they all look over 18 to me.

Oh and something to look forward to...

I love this thread! The commentary alone is worth the price of admission. Thanks for showing us these previews, Mr. Kyoto, sir. I'm headed over to the Reaper site right now to window shop.

Special promotion for October, very, very cute Halloween minis, only from Reaper's site, only for a week.

Helpful clarification from their facebook page

yes we will hold your orders and ship them all at once. TRICK or treat... But, you will still have to order them each week.

a size shot from Reaper Bryan

Those *are* kind of cute. If they scale properly, they'd probably fit well with someone's SDE villains.

RE the "All the Bones 2 Figures"...

In the immortal words, "Look at the size of that thing!!!"

Some pretty big monsters there...
