If you read the continued comments on the Reaper BONES Kickstarter or visit their forum with any frequency I'm sure you have heard about issues that have cropped up. As previously reported I received mine on Thursday and I just spent a rather pleasant afternoon running through the inventory. 

Add Ons: All mine were present and I figured out that I made a mistake and ordered the Storm Giants, which actually come as part of the Vampire box. Oops, now I have extras.

Vampire Box: I really couldn't quite believe it but my box is 100% correct so it certainly is possible. You would think that with as many miniatures in that box there would be one mistake but not in my box.

Kaladrax: I'm sure everyone has seen the pictures by this time but it just doesn't do him justice. He will be massive when he's built up and I'm thinking he may be the first mini I paint out of this. Again this box was 100% correct. I think I dodged some serious bullets with everything in these boxes.

Just wanted everyone to know perfect Vampire and Kaladraxes (ie?) can and do happen.

The rewards for my participation in the Reaper Kickstarter arrived on Thursday. Its been so busy that I didn't have time to really get the box open and snap a few pictures till Saturday and this morning may be my only chance to post them. There have already been a lot of Vampire Pledge opening threads and posts out there so I didn't really focus on that. I didn't get a lot of add ons either, mostly giants, the red Pathfinder Dragon, the Jabborwock and, of course, Kaladrax.
But before I move on to the Reaper BONES pictures I need to put in one last plug for Wargods of Olympus.
The Crocodile Games; Wargods of Olympus closes out today. I still need to get my pledge in or at least decide to pledge. I may have to buy a whole new wardrobe for work this week so I may have to skip this one, which is killing me at this point. They blasted through a number of levels yesterday including unlocking Helen of Troy at the $125,000 level. If you have been on the fence with this one I recommend that you get over there and jump in.

Here is some concept art for Helen of Troy (which should be stunning Fitz does amazing work Sculpting females) and the final stretch goal; Medusa.





And now on to the BONES:

This has been the most amazing kickstarter project that I have been involved with. I think the Reaper crew has really out done themselves and I'm hoping that the ultimate goal of bringing the production of the BONES line to TX from China will be realized. In the space of the 34 days of this kickstarter they have kept their audience glued to their screens watching the goals get reach one by one. My friend Talon (you can see a couple pieces of his work on my front page) posted this version of what some 12,000 people have been doing over that last few days.

And today is it. At 4pm MDT (yes, that odd mountain timezone) they will close the books on this one and I fully expect them to clear the $3,000,000 dollar mark for this kickstarter.This will result in the production of at least 3,450,000 (and that's a conservative estimate) plastic BONES miniatures that will be shipped out next spring.

As of this morning this is what the vampire level included:

I think Reaper has laid claim to the title of best funded game related kickstarter at this point. Both Ogre and Sedition Wars have been left in the dust and there are still five days left to go! You have to love it not only for the staggering numbers of minis that will be shipped in March, but they have the coolest map ever. So again what are you waiting for pledge! (and you know the current Vampire Pledge stuff follows the cool graveyard map)

Bones and Evolution

We keep unlocking goal after goal and revealing cool stuff everytime. So I figured, as a now drooling fan boy, that I would keep everybody updated on this little Kickstarter Project from Reaper.
You can find the kickstarter itself here: Bones An Evolution - Just go now and pledge, just get hat but let's make this successful and get production of Bones moved to the US.

Here was what you get if you pledge Vampire LeveL today:

Well, this is to cool not to post about and quite frankly I have been kind of obsessive about following the whole Bones Kickstarter anyway. They hit another goal this morning already so the next goal that they are heading for is going to include this bad boy:
 And the miniatures available in the Vampire level now looks like this:

But what's really exciting is the goal that will come after we get the Clockwork Dragon. Pathfinder Goblins! I love these guys and I honestly didn't think they would make it into plastic because its a licensed line and I figured it was to risky a move. I'm really excited now.

Yea, yea, so I'm go to gush fan boy all over you guys this morning. I figured I would show you the different ways that you can participate in the Reaper Kickstarter. So I swiped all their graphics to embed right here so you could quickly and easily figure out exactly what you want to spend your initial pledge money on. After that its all about the optionals. Please note that the Vampire and Undertaker levels will change as more and more stretch goals are released, so literally these are going to be wrong (but in a good way) by the end of today.

Please note that I'm not dealing with any of the international shipping stuff, I just grabbed the graphics so you really need to visit the Kickstarter site to get all the details: Reaper Bones
