That golem makes me happy.

Graveyard is looking awesome so far! Hopefully they dont pooch it by cramming in a random selection of PC minis/townsfolk lol.

I agree..

I started to say a grave digger would be fine but I'm pretty sure they already did one in bones 1 or 2.

..ah yes.. Mr Bones as one, Townsfolk: Undertaker as another.

I reckon that halfling pumpkin cart might be in part 3...

IIRC, The undertaker townsperson was in a previous KS. Skulls and gravestones would be useful?

UPDATE: Second column added to Graveyard expansion!

Core is currently at 138 minis (w/o the weapons or bases) – 72 cents per mini.
- Most Smaller minis go for: $1.99 - $2.29 (64% - 69% off) ~23 smaller minis so far in core
- Most medium sized character minis go for $2.29 - $2.79 (69%-75% discount) 93 currently
- Most Large minis go for: $3.29 - $6.99 (79%-90% discount) ~ 22 ≥Large minis in core
- 25 one inch bases are $4.99, x2 (we get ~50) is $9.98 which people are getting for free
- 10 two inch bases are $4.99 x2 (we get ~20) is $9.98 again for free.
- The weapon sprues in metal cost ~$8.99 (but guessing from the familiars and rats would be Between $1.99 - $3.99 in Bones) again, x4 ($8-$16) for free.
Remember in metal all these things would be more expensive. But Bones Retail Value rough estimation w/ the 138 minis currently in the core, plus bases and weapons is ~ $430.48
But each person needs to find their own value in this.

Core is ridiculous but getting more than one core before finishing the first may be madness (for me). I like the well roundedness of the monsters in this one but I wanna get addons instead.

MLaw exalted for Zeram reference.... Now I need to source bits and craft my own in a fit of nostalgia!

Golem is sweet. Fence is nice. Add-on fence seems less value per cost V fence in expansion but maybe it's close than I think. Possibly get one set to extend and finish crypt.

Golem is awesome, much like. Other bits dint hurt, anxious for part 3.

From Facebook:

Here is a preview of the one of the resin add on parts Jake has been designing. The resin tracks will be an upgrade kit available from Victoria Miniatures, once the Reaper Bones III Kickstarter ships.

Note, these tracks will not become available during the campaign, but only afterwards, when the campaign is over. It is however worth posting here for those who are on the fence about getting a gun, but do not like the wheels.

Pick a colour:


Bottom right.


Top centre, traditional position for red.


Top left, with horn on nose. Blue?


Top right.


Bottom right.



I can only place two of the heads. black should have the largest horns, but green would be a senior head to black. Heads could be repositioned I suppose but large horned heads would have to be on top

So, this is a mini based on a DnD creature based on a mythological creature/goddess, right? Are the colors of the heads important for DnD or because of the original myths?

Going for my own preferences, I think the first head wants to be black, the second green, the third two-tone blue, the fourth gold or yellow/orange, and the last red.

I may be influenced by how much fantasy art I've consumed uncritically over the years.

I believe Tiamat has a head for each of the styles of Dragons as she is the Queen/God of them.
Red Head breaths fire.
Green Head breaths acid.
Blue Head breaths lightning.
Can't honestly remember what the others breath.

I"m... not going to miss those loss of details when I can't paint this well in a million zillion years...

I'm gonna let my geek flag fly here

Red=fire
blue=lightning
white=frost
green=poison
black=acid

Tiamiat is evil queen of the chromatic dragons. Metallic dragons are the good kind. Tiamit is also know as Tahkisis in dragonlance and happens to be "super hawt"

Give this man a nerd cookie of +50 cred!

Tiamat as depicted is purely a D&D thing and not really related at all to the Mesopotamian deity, where she is a primordial water mother goddess and/or embodiment of primordial chaos. She births other gods and monsters. There is some precedent for her being depicted in a sea serpent or dragon form, but the multi headed dragon is associated with Lotan in Ugaritic myth (Lam/Leviathan in Hebrew mythology).

Shipwreck Golem. POSEIDON WEPT!

I actually like that face. It reminds me of the monster from Zeiram the Animation.. a smiling kabuki mask type thing on this huge murderous monster. If the 3rd part is good, this one will make a lot of people happy I'm sure.
The additional fencing being available is even better. People can expand out and create a proper graveyard. It would've been nice if they had tossed in some headstones with it but I guess those are easy enough to come by

I totally agree! I kind of wish someone would do a line of minis from Zeiram, that was a cool looking future. The addition of extra fences is a nice touch too... I don't have any grave yard terrain, but I am very tempted to start some!

I'm loving those golems. Good thing I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico so I can afford all this stuff.

What is this, 1995? You could have saved more in less time by visiting Progressive!

I am torn on the golems. I kind of like the shipwreck one, but the coral golem, I am not so sure.

I agree... but the shipwreck golem is so unbelievably cool!

Still, probably better to wait and see what it looks like sculpted and buy at retail.

Heh.

I thought the Shipwreck one was beyond silly but I like the Coral one.

I am of the same opinion. However, I know that the Coral Golem has 3rd ed rules for DnD so.. it's usable.. which makes me even more frustrated. The shipwreck is kinda awesome.. I'm hoping we see Razig and company and that Dark Maiden (regular 28mm not the giant sized one).

I have a feeling my gamers are going to start expecting a golem to pop up out of every encounter after they see all of this. Golem golem prescious cough cough golem

Will there also be a gak golem?

I think there's one right there in that latest update!

No, but this Were-Ape will fling gak at you, if that's your thing man.

I can never tell the difference between it and the Shinola Golem.

That Grave golem is beyond cool- at least with that paintjob.

More like the figurehead usually seen on the prow of pirate ships, but pretty much.
