This is everything in the core box for Reaper Bones 3. Note that there are over 150 figures in it. This is what you get without any add-ons.
You can see some of the core boxes, some figures in a bag and some brochures. Here is the box with the air wrappers removed. There’s also a nice form showing everything in my order, a reference number and the name of the person who pulled everything – all of which will come in handy. The bad packaging will come back to haunt this order later on as we do the unboxing. You can see some packing material, although its just some air bags laid on top. Probably because I didn’t order any large pieces like I did in the previous 2 Bones Kickstarters. Here is the box that arrived this afternoon. Luckily I was also one of the first backers to get their pledge thanks to being part of Wave One, so I thought I’d do an unboxing for you so you can see what I got and how they came, I was one of the 13,465 backers that threw over 2.7 MILLION dollars at Reaper. They are almost always a single piece (save for the larger Bones figures), so gluing is rarely needed. Reaper Bones are for low cost miniatures that are made out of a material that doesn’t need priming. I have flagged it.Nearly two years ago, Reaper Miniatures launched their third “Bones” Kickstarter. PS: This should be in the miniatures forum. If you can afford the $100 pack it is a phenomenal deal. As I've never even gotten around to finishing painting those, I haven't participated in the others my funds are a bit tight at the moment as well. I participated with the first Bones Kickstarter and was very happy with what I had. (I prime them anyway since I prefer black primer.) Some other brands of paint bead off (there are Youtube tutorials that show this), so you may still need to prime. Second, that really only works best if you are also painting on them with Reaper paints. There is "fine print" on the "no priming needed" thing with Bones, however-first, you should give them a wash. I also like how lightweight the dragon is - a metal dragon of the same size would be heavy and possibly topple over depending on how you mounted/posed it. I have a Bones dragon that was an easy glue job, with a little greenstuff to fill gaps, whereas the equivalent pewter one I'm sure would have required lots of pinning and waiting for glue to cure. However, they hold a lot of detail and are certainly much easier to assemble than a metal mini. The seams can be hard to remove-they don't file off as easily as from a metal mini. One thing I do not like is, as with similar plastics, narrow pieces bend out of shape easily (although I see they now have more rigid plastics they use for things like weapon packs). The Bones I find are very much worth the price. The quality of the figures themselves are great and I've had good experience with their customer service. I've been painting fantasy figures for years and Reaper is always my first go-to. They're my go-to line now right after the Pathfinder Battles minis - if the mini I need/want doesn't exist in PF Battles, I go right to Bones. Reaper's Bones line is just so, so freakin' good.
Oh, and if you're a painting junky, you'll love them because they're bleach white - no Priming needed! They're like a soft plastic that has plenty of bend & give. Seriously, when was the last time ANYONE could pick up a Gargantuan-sized mini for 15 bucks? Or a single Mini for like $2-3? Or a whole bunch of minis packaged together for like $5-7?Īnd because they're a polymer, they have much, much higher levels of detail than pewtwer minis ever did, and they aren't nearly as brittle as plastic minis. They're identical to the Pathfinder pre-painted minis, made of the same or at least similar polymer, and they're DIRT FREAKIN' CHEAP. Their Bones minis are positively orgasmic. Reaper has been making minis for decades.
I haven't really invested in mini's in the past.ĭoes anyone have thoughts on if miniatures make a good addition to the game? And if so, does the Reaper Kickstarter look like a good one?Īnyone have experience with their product? It looks like this could be really huge and like it might be a really awesome value! But I don't know.Īny advice on if ppl have heard of them, and are backing, and if it would be good or not would be welcome! :D Hey, I got an email form a friend about the Reaper Bones Kickstarter for miniatures.
