Pretty much. Kickstarter waits are a thing, and backers should know that going in and not get bent out of shape. This ain't Amazon. I backed Sedition Wars as my first, and it was like a six-month plus delay for even the first wave of stuff, with a rulebook that arrived already needing a 2.0 version. Even a relatively simple boardgame (Shadowstar Corsairs)I backed was run by an awesome guy with great communication, and overseas holidays slowed things down by like 2-4 months.

Well you are making the assumption that she is human, when she is not labeled at such. Accordingly I must say that you are both wrong, as breasts of her race DO work that way (obviously) and that you are clearly racist. Or sexist. Or something, whatever the PC rage is these days.

Actually, the painter's use of lighting and shade on her breasts and hood help show them off. Also, nice complementary pairing of silver-blue and orange.
Anyway, in Bones III, Reaper padded several months to the project and, naturally, some backers were upset about *that*. KS requires creators put the *month* that they estimate a project will be due, and even retailers don't do that, only giving quarterly estimates (see the FFG calendar). This is entirely impossible, because project creators don't even know how many orders they will be making (they don't know how many people will back), nor what they will be creating beyond the base pledge (they don't know how many SG's will be unlocked).

Indeed. I've been looking for a group of models with the right combination of "nice lookin'" and "cheap as chips" for years so I can have a Frenzied Mob for Mordheim, hopefully they release a lot of them.

You might've missed the tiny 'sarcasm' bundled away at the bottom of the post. I almost did. I think it needed to be made clearer, 'cos it's otherwise a pretty convincing example of this kind of rant!

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I quite like this one:
The large hand and the boobs not being correct could mean this is actually a male to female transgender thief, calls for a terrible face painting from me to complete the authentity of the storyline.

A thief who really pissed off a powerful wizard, who proceeded to curse him with a trangender spell. Sound's like a great back story for a PC!
Let's not get too off topic here. I think it's an OK looking mini. Didn't even notice the hand until someone pointed it out. I like the face and hood. Nice paint job IMHO.
Oh, yeah, I think the model's pretty nice, and don't find fault in much re: proportions. There's definitely some leeway about exaggeration at that scale, with my only real complaint being the exaggerated knuckles that don't fit, but that would be a really easy filing job to reduce.
I'm considering ordering for this mini, she's actually a decent rogue trope sculpt, and I can fudge the paint scheme a bit to detract from her chest.

And we're back with this week's exciting episode of 'Do Breasts Work that Way?'!
Let's meet this week's contestants!
First hailing from the great white north we have Trista, the White Wolf!
And... wait. If that's her sword in her hand then what's that in her scabbard? Does she carry two swords just in case? is one of them like a Long Sword +1/+3 vs giants while the other is a Long Sword +2 so she alternates depending on who she's fighting?
Anyway cool shield, the breast plate looks a bit... roomy shall we say, but over all quite cool
And here we have Denova, Female Mage. Cute dress, let's assume she's headed to Court or a ball and not for a dungeon, she probably has some supportive undergarments or magical assistance but overall
So we're two for two, can we go three for three?
So Reaper's wraiths were some of the first models I got from them
I loved the look of an invisible spirit with just his clothes and weapons visible)
(though now as I look at it I want to say ARMS DON'T WORK THAT WAY! anyhow...)
So now they've put out a female wraith...
An while her arms are invisible her face and bare midriff are not. I'll leave it someone else to find a meaning there.
Her mammary glands are a bit perky but I imagine being undead is chilly so she sneaks by on a technicality.
In other news...
I love a model that tells a story. Here's this one.
Spoiler:
Morgoth, The Bloodthirsty - You want a piece of me huh? You want this, you think you can take on Morgoth The Bloodthirsty? I didn't claw and tear my way off of a Manowar album cover to go down to a punk like you, me and my howling demon sword Not'a'Frazetta'Rip'Off don't take nothing from nobod-OW! OW! OW! OW! I stabbed myself in the foot! I stabbed myself in my damned foot! Time out, time out OK? Damn that hurts! I hope I didn't drain my own soul, that would suck...
Or these dudes, no snark, they're just really good and would look fantastic standing around a bar anywhere from the Inn of the Last Home to the Prancing Pony to the space port at Mos Eisley.
Though at $20... I might wait to see if they come in Bones.
Another 'I never knew I needed them' model. Whether sitting on a withered oak in the Blighted Marsh or on a downed telephone pole After The Disaster or the ruins of an Imperial Bastion... I need them!
Finally another pair of models with infinite uses.
A squad of Nazi Zombies resurrected by science to spice up your Weird War II game.
A squad of Nazi Zombies resurrected by sorcery to battle your modern superheroes.
A squad of Nazi Zombies resurrected by alchemy to battle your modern troopers fighting in Iraq
A squad of time-traveling Nazi Zombies to battle your Roman Legion.
A squad of Kreig Death Korps Zombies to fight for Chaos.
Because the only thing better than punching Nazis is punching Nazi Zombies!
So join us next time when we will ask the question 'Do Breasts Work That Way!'

I recognized both those bars immediately, which is one more than the real bars than I could name within 5 minutes. That felt weird.
Genius commentary as ever, KK. I liked Morgoth's tale, in particular.
Trista is a standout for me. "Paladin / Viking Shieldmaiden" may be two of the most generic fantasy concepts ever, but this is a very nicely done crossover between the two. Having a short sword / long dagger somewhere around the front of the waist makes perfect sense too. It's a standard place to keep your long dagger in medieval or Renaissance times because it can be drawn easily with either hand; either with your right because you lost your sword or are in a close-quarters fight like a tavern, or with your left because your shield was shattered or you didn't bring your shield 'cos you were just walking through town. I've worn a long dagger or short sword there many times for LARP. So yeah. It does work. Even without one of them being your +5 Holy Avenger and the other being your +3 Vorpal Sword. Which I'm pretty sure I did a few times as an outrageously powergamey Paladin in the 1980s.

Decent assortment, some more decent than others. Can I say 'vultures don't work that way'?

The wraith baffles me. Why is she a floating head and torso? It's like they forgot to add the hands or something, since wraiths often just have cloth/misty parts instead of legs. But if you want to do the hollow effect, why the face and torso?
The buzzards are super fun. They are also supposed to have some giant bats, but no pics on the Reaper site yet.

I think you are, as you're about the only one constantly bringing it up?
I know some of it is down to my browser du jour, but Dakka's always been peculiar about embedded images, in a way that I've never seen on any other BB board with any browser - I had to start uploading my images on the Dakka gallery because it wouldn't show pics I uploaded elsewhere - and the move to the secure server (https) has only made it odder.
But if it's that annoying (not half as bloody annoying to me, looking at pagefuls of red Xs for the want of a single consonant) I guess I'm off again with the unreasonable expectation of a tablet browser that works.

People have forgotten how a polymorph spell works? Or the Girdle of Femininity/Masculinity? There would be little problem with transgender issues in Fantasyland.
The Paladiness looks nice enough. That is how 'boob' armor ought to look, IMHO. It is obvious that she has a bosom, but the armor is not lethal to her. (y'all can ask the Google about the dangers of boob armor)
Morgoth the Bloodthirsty looks like a late '80's Chaos Warrior from GW. And not in a good way.
