Deep Ones and Mi-Go? I'm sold.

I thought the ogre with a door shield was pretty inspired. I don't know if I'll end up choosing it over that new copper dragon or more Frost Giants, but the design is pretty neat.

It's multipart. Not all Bones miniatures are made of the soft plastic. Some parts are made in a harder plastic.

Victoria Miniatures said "We have already started looking at avoiding any 'embarrassing' barrel issues. The barrel at least will be hard plastic and will probably plug into the body of the gun (which will make it easy to remove for transport). The whole gun will come in several parts and these will be as hard as possible. There is no way I want droopy gun photos out there. "

Victoria Miniatures also said that treads will be an add-on (?) : "Yes, we are looking at doing them as a resin add on, as well as a blast shield and some other accessories."

No, the crew.

I'm aware the gun is multi-part, but my understanding now (and from Vic's thread) is that the figures are not multi-part.

*Edit* At best, some of the crew will have separate arms for casting.

Gotcha.

The ogres and the "frogs" :x are briliant.

Ok, help me out with securing a special cost cutting deal here. Shipping Bones to the Uk will be problematic but there is a way around it. Back when I was purchasing vast ammounts of AT-43 from the US back in 2008 I had it sent to a proxy in the US, free postage, who de-packaged them and shipped them on to me. This saved me a lot of volume in shipping as AT-43 was overpackaged, also by removing packaging the goods were legally second hand and an arbitrary value could be attached for customs purposes, and doing this was legal. Sadly I lost contact with this individual.

So I need a volunteer who must be:

1. USA based
2. good Dakka trade track record
3. wants some free stuff

I want to put an order in for over $200 of Bones, maybe more. So far I have pledged $100 and can up that later so I can spread costs.
However fortunately for me, you and legality I don't want everything Bones has to offer. So if i have my pledge rewards shipped to your address instead you can remove pre-agreed items and reship, legally second hand and as its 'incomplete set' at an arbitary low value for customs purposes. I also don't care if everything turns up in a plastic bag tight in a box, breakages are both unlikely and if they do happen its a worthy trade for minimally cost shipped items.
Tracking will be required and all postage costs will be refunded by Paypal or another agreed method.

So what would I want to drop?



So taking the Savage Worlds Chill Out and Eastern Legends, those I don't need so if you would like them you are welcome to them, with my complements. I will amend this when its all over and cross off individual models from an image file of each set pledged for, and might change my mind over some items, nevertheless about 15-20% of the pledges will go including a third of the Stoneskull which I will likely be pledging for. Reducing my pledge helps you and helps me, and if you wont want any of what I leave behind there is always a space in your rubbish bin.

So everything is explained, I get a greatly reduced customs price - though entirely legal means, reduce size and packaging by eliminating junk - though Bones don't weigh much, and you can help me out for free stuff. All it costs you is a bit of hassle to go to the post office with a re-boxed bag of minis, if you have a trade record already on Dakka this will not daunt you.

If you want single items for yourself but don't want to make a full pledge we can also arrange this, the amount extras you want we can reduce from the reshipping cost later, and if it goes slightly over in your favour then its on me.

So PM me if you are interested. Well established Dakka members only please.

PM sent.

I love that Mythos set. Those are exactly the kinds of minis I want in Bones.

Although I must admit I'm having a bunch of confused feelings about the Gug.

It doesnt look big enough, but Bones dont advertise their stuff in common scale.

Thanks for the PM, BobtheInquisitor. However shipping from California to England will be expensive, If anyone can help who lives on the east coast that would more appropriate.

Pm sent. I'm on the east coast but my biggest interests in that would be the behir specifically and any ogres.

If the third bit of the Mythos expansion has enough win... I think they'll have gotten me. I had a short list of addons already, though I can't justify the cost/storage/waste of getting the core given I have so much left as it is.

Bit the Goat, corsairs, crusaders, frost giants, and now possibly this mythos expansion....

I do like the render for the plant monsters. I kinds want the open one to convert a Alraune for fun. But don't really care for most of the other stuff in the expansion to justify the $50. the mythos stuff on the other hand..... that alter would look great with my stone henge. And you can never have to many mythos models. ... this might turn into a expensive Kickstarter for me...


I might just throw in for all the models I want now and add shipping later since you can do that. I'm in wave 3 anyway.

Not a big fan of that Gug. I like the Pathfinder prepainted one. Didn't care for Cthulhu Wars version either.

The Dark Young will probably push me to buy this expansion if it's big enough. I know I'll want multiples though for my inevitable Deadzone x Cthulhu battles.

I also noticed they put the render up for the Iron Golem from the Stoneskull Castle's expansion.

Their Iron golem kind of turned me off. It looks fine, but isn't my style as much. I wonder how big the Gug is? I think they're a bit scarier when the vertical mount is still on a head, instead of the body splitting but still. If it's at least ogre sized... though they're described as 'giants' in the mythos.

I think the Dark Young + Shub will be enough giant tentacle monsters for my tables.. just. I wonder how Khanjira would stand up to the Goat.

Kind of leery of the size of Tianot, seems almost too big to bother with

I hope we make it to Tiamat! Well, of course we will, she's already sculpted. It's not like they're gonna through that away.

The grub and spined worm that are coming out of the ground also both looks great.

Still hoping for more terrain.

Me too. Thow probably only small items at this point. Feels stone henge is the only big piece they planned sadly.

 Hulksmash wrote:

I'm sure there'll be more. Hopefully something like the old Forgeworld capillary towers. That's my wish.

(Gone!)

Quite honestly I don't know whether to pledge or not. I love the big monsters, and the Sledgehammer, but I still have a bag of badly warped, soft gummy Bones from II that I will likely never ever use.
The only thing I don't greatly regret is Dragons Don't Share.

You can fix the warping with hot water. If they're completely unfixable you might send an email to Reaper asking for replacements. You're going to have a few droopy swords and such- that's just a part of the material. Usually a hot water bath can straighten them out.

Oh eye, they're not going to be like resin or metals, but some of the textures and such leave me a little down.
I mostly bought into it for big beasties, and all of my bases are twisted and warped on the fatter monsters. I tried hot water but they went back again. My partner's DDS castle won't fit together for similar reasons.
I'm sure it's workable, and I'm sure I'll cheer up and empty my wallet into this anyway.

Unfortunately, you have to work a fair amount of hot water / cold water on the larger pieces. See the Reaper forums.

I had to boil the gak out of my DDS castle bits to get them shaped, but it worked out alright. I was fairly unhappy about how much work it was, but in retrospect it actually wasn't that bad once I figured out how to not burn myself in the process. That took longer than it should have...

Looking forward to that second expansion officially landing. While yes, people can pledge in advance for things they want to see unlock, even with a week(ish) left, 'officially' unlocking often goes a long way in these things. And the next 62k alone will put a lot of value in for those looking to get some Lovecraftian horror up in their games.

The Mythos expansion is looking better and better. I probably will get it in the end. I think I'll pass on the Sledgehammer. Much as I like it, I just don't have any use for it.

I really hope they do a Nyarlethotep or some of the other Elder Gods.

So much for keeping the goals closer together as we get closer to the end.

Not that the jump in stretches is going to stop the bones train from rolling on.

Going by the previous campaigns anyways, it'll get absolutely nuts at the tail end, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

Still wished the ogre command was included. Probably will get it anyways.

Except that we're talking about the crew.

Which was already addressed.
