and yes, I backed this one.  I kept telling myself that next time Reaper put one of these up I was going to back it, so I did

This ought to fill me up on minis for the rest of my life....

and of course, expected deliver isn't until 2024, but at least they're not promising something they know they can't hit

that first post was at 2pm

an hour later and there's another $80k on the campaign

and again - it went up at least another $400 between taking the screenshot and typing this post

I just started painting some Bones miniatures which I have not done in several years. I like the newer plastic they use rather than the resin. Unfortunately the minis I am painting, I have had for about five years and are made of resin. Not bad just flexible and normally ill-defined details.

The question is, do these newer minis really need painting? They are a lot more detailed and painting them would make them look better, but for an RPG session, is it really necessary?

Only a crazy person would make this sort of assertion!

I went back and looked at this Kickstarter again. One of the things I always found interesting about Reaper is they tend to do off-the-wall creature types. Since I only play D&D right now it holds less interest. However, some of the figures might be cool for something like Numeria or Call of Cthulhu or something where you can have creatures that do not fit the stereotypical D&D fantasy monsters. I would love for Reaper to manufacture their stirge mini again. Such an annoying creature for the players to encounter.

OK, so it won't be there when I get back.  While out here in CA, I got the email from them that I was in the queue, but still needed to cover the shipping costs (I think they had to wait to see the final shipment weight based on add-ons to send us the shipping emails) so that's now covered and should be on the way soon.

got my shipping notice today, so should be next week that they're here

They're heeeeeee-re!
