Third video, including the Victoria Sledgehammer and five-headed dragon. DWARF UNMOUNTS FROM PONY.



Graveyard expansion completely unlocked!

There're lots of good minis in the late addition: the Skeleton King, undead wolves, statued tombstones, pumpkin goblins, and the rest. Only downside to it, imo, is that some of them are concept work at the moment.

Whole thing has a Diablo feel to me.

Well, the graveyard is certainly *functional*. Aside from the minions (awww.. cute RUN AWAY RUN AWAY), creepyface golemn, and carrion worm, you can use the graveyard set in generic fantasy, Cthulhu, and modern day -- including the wolves. The death figures can be used as Nedcromancers in Zombicide. If Zombicide has a gravestone tile, the terrain can be used there. The various arches I hope can be used with dungeon tiles. Might be amusing to put a crypt inside a dungeon...

I dunno. Maybe? I mean they already had a space mouseling before this. They probably always intended to produce them.

Does Reaper even have all that much Scifi to convert to bones or would it have to be new stuff?

They have los of sci fi stuff, including a whole bunch of superheroes they haven't really tapped. I would love to see more cyborgs, robots, power armor and time agents in Bones, as well as some aliens, like the Andromedans or Illyrians. Plus they can easily sculpt more, including heavy weapons for the digitally sculpted IMEF marines.

That said, I have no problem with sci fi mouselings. athey already have quite a few fantasy mouselings, so why not? I'll even buy a few when they hit retail. If they made that Warhamster clad in shoulderpad armor in Bones, I'd buy him now.


Now, in graveyard set 3, I like the cut of Dead Sauron's jib, but why a Bowie knife? Didn't they learn from the Bones 1 assassin? Good thing the're making a weapons upgrade kit.

So, what's everyone's take on the graveyard. I was hoping for a bit more chunky scenery, but given the crypt and fencing that was probably just wishful thinking.

Can't get a feel for how large the carrion worm is, though it *is* a useful monster to have around. And the European style sarcophagus is neat.

Female wraith/shade/reaper/whatever is uhh... one of the hotter minis in the campaign? Well I guess if you're going to have your soul cleaved from your body, may as well have that one last erection!

I can't decide if the last bit is solid or meh, what do you guys think? Gotta figure it out by tomorrow (or in the coming months on the PM, but I'd like to contribute *now* if I'm going to) if I'm to add to the total.

The Dire Maggot is about Ogre height. It's in the Reapercon picture gallery. It's not small for sure. The various ghostly beings are kinda neat.. I hope they're transluscent. The ghoul hound whatever dogs.. Those are neat but you can bits order the GW dire wolves for cheap enough and I think I prefer the GW sculpts in that instance. A good paintjob might change my opinion though. Pricing it out, this is definitely better than retail by a long shot "if" you're happy with everything. My personal opinion is if you have the cash and don't have a graveyard.. then get it. I would've liked for the little pumpkin heads to be more weird skeletons or zombies from demi-humans (hobgoblin zombie and skeleton for a specific d&d module ) The tombstone golem steals the show and the crypt is nice. IMO it would pair really well with that Pegasus gothic building set or the Puppetwars modular church.

Yea, uh... I kind of need that graveyard set. I think I am going to buckle down and just accept my wife being pissed at me for a while.

Would it help to show her the mouslings? I think Reaper includes them to get SO buy-in.

Another pic!

I think the Dwarf pugs would be the better move Our daughter loves the Bones Dragons, but I have so many already...

Reaper: do some like ogre sized ducks or geese in Bones. Were-geese, I don't care. That would be a big selling point Little Olive's first real word, and still consistent favorite is "duck".

Incoming Bones's!


And apparently a Froghemoth.

Hmmm, not sure if the Reaper Lady is a psychopomp or an avatar of Pharasma for Pathfinder....

The Auld Grump, or just a statue of Pharasma....

No love for Warhamster 40k?

I know somebody that wants to do an entire army of these guys for WH40K... Ultramouslings. (He is a silly person.)

The Auld Grump

Graveyard looks like win across the board. Shipwreck golem is also great. Sadly I can't add them without going over the 150 EUR threshold where customs hit me with extra tax on top of the normal import tax. I think I can just squeeze in the froggoloth though.

I'm in for 3 sledgehammers. I'm torn on the not Tiamat. I would love to use it as a centerpiece of terrain for an Alpha Legion board, but $60 is a lot for something unseen, especially when I''m guessing $100 msrp, so ~$80 online.

You know, with proper chart placement, one could use MaalDrakar as a custom Dungeon Master's Shield.

Frogemoth sounds pretty chunky for ten bucks.

I'm afraid if there's too much clamor for it the price might go up to 15.

For ten bucks though I'll submit my wallet to the great and slimy ones.

Is that a statue in the background? I want it in Bones.

Hmmm graveyard it is huh... Still really torn on the core set lol.

Finally, a pack of wings in Bones. Feathered or draconian wings would have been even more useful, but I'm still going to buy a ton and glue them to all kinds of things.


For a creature with wings, that air elemental sure seems to work her legs vigorously.

Air elementals don't skip LEG DAY!

Female Oni in core set.

Never been involved in Bones before, but this looks too good to resist...however to be honest I'm really only after figs for Cthulu and the new Conan game.... so the Mythos stuff is a given, and beyond that I don't like the dragon model in the Conan kickstarter, so wanted to pick one of these figs as a substitute....but then beyond that I'm not sure - anyone else pondering what to get, without going insane and buying for the sake of it? I could probably spend the money elsewhere, so want to be reasonably sensible in my acquisitions.

Surprised they didn't include mephits of some sort . Also kinda feel like the air elementals have more of a fire elemental look.. but .. I guess it boils down to the paintjob. They have nicer air elementals in their catalog though :/

Glitzbitah: So, you're saying she's an antimantic?

Pretty Deadly? That seems like such a shallow measure of a real deadly woman. Some of the deadliest women I know are deadly because of their intangible qualities, such as their killer intellect and cold, calculating personalities. Why can't we value a woman's holistic deadliness?

Yes, I'm just bitter because no one calls me handsome deadly. But I swear I'm deadly on the inside.

I'm looking at the metal version of the dragon in the new stretchgoal. It's legs alone are about 4" on the old sculpt.
This is the old version just to give you a rough idea of the size the new one might be.


While that's big and all.. I kinda feel like anyone who got DDS for a big dragon for gaming will feel like this is redundant. I do know that there are pokemaster reaper fans out there though who are going to buy it because reasons.

Don't sweat it! Especially with overseas, you're fine just picking up whatever you like the best. Among Zombicide: Black Plague, TerraTiles (currently going on), Nuclear War (same), and Reaper (at least the PDFs are free!), I guess I should be glad I didn't have plans to go to GenCon!

Yeah, our cup runneth over with dragons. I appreciate the new and weird, like the Frogoloth and Shipwreck golems a lot more at this point.

So far this feels like a really underwhelming run-up to the end. I seem to remember Bones II being much more exciting, but maybe that's just faulty memory, I don't know.

They are doing the hourly unlocks now but with one of them guaranteed to be the female characters it loses a lot of oomf IMO. There's stretch goals on top of that too though, which tend to be two at a time as well.. so..maybe. If they paced it right they could do expansion 4.. if they really wanted to.. which.. I kinda feel like they don't at this point.

@MLaw
Did they have an exp. 4 planned before?

Ehh bones 2 ended with lame not-model stretchgoals like pies in the face didn't it? They hit their mark and were done with it, this one may at least have some stuff left to try and unlock at the end.

And Curse Reaper's black heart(s), between talking myself into core, graveyard, corsairs, and crusaders... that's 178..

Went ahead and pledged it. Oh wait.. frost giants too, yeah. So I guess they'll get it unless I come to my senses by the end of the run.

Yes, early on they let slip that they had 5 expansions planned.

Anyone have reviews on the paints in the kickstarter? I see they are pretty cheap at like $1.6 a bottle where normally others are $3+
