Top Charts Searches 2014

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

I hate to look like a fan boy but I'm pretty darn excited about this kickstarter project from Reaper, so fan boy it is. The stretch goal that they have been moving towards adds a bunch of the miniatures from their Chronoscope metal line to the new plastic Bones line. By the time I publish this to my page I'm sure they will have hit the magic number and these will all be part of the vampire pledge level. From Sci/Fi Marines to Cowboys this adds something to everyone. I have grabbed their graphic for this goal just to show off what they are including.


And what's in the next stretch goal? More Marines!  So 10 more minis from the first chronoscope, 6 more from the next (plus you can buy extra Marine sets if you want to), this will take the cost of the miniatures in the Vampire level down to like feels like nothing at this point.


There is no point in waiting any more, just go pledge: Reaper Miniatures: Bones an Evolution of Gaming Miniatures

I did manage to get a real live metal casting of Lysette on Saturday. I have cleaned her up and given her and the two Louis XIXs a coat of white primer. I hope to start work on her this week but I haven't decided which French Hussar uniform I want to paint with this first one. Its just nice to finally have this miniature in my hands.

You can purchase Lysette here; Rastl World Minis

First up Louis XIX.5 - sculpted by Jason Wiebe. He is a solid little lump of metal.

 Next is Louis XIX - this one to match this version of Lysette sculpted by Chad Hoverter

 And then Lysette (with sword arm attached but minus the sabretache).


 On the left is the spure with the sword arm and sabretache. On the right is a sabretache ready to be attached. The straps do need to be bent to fit into the right position. There are two rings on her sword belt that the straps need to at least touch. I did a little more filing to thin that portion of the strap so it doesn't create to much of a bump when I glue it on.


Now primed up and ready for paint

I have been slowly working my way through the GZG miniatures that I bought during their last sale. This batch of 32 miniatures is the last of them. They are all now painted up and ready for play. I'm a quite a bit happier with this batch than my last batch. These will primarily be NPCs but it looks like there are a few that would make good character minis. These group consists of the following sets from GZG:
SF15-V02 - Unarmed Civilians/Colonists
SF15-V07 - Armed Civilians A
SF15-V08 - Armed Civilians B
SF15-V09 - Armed Civilians C

SF15-V02 - Unarmed Colonists B



SF15-V07 Armed Colonists A




SF15- V08 Armed Colonists B


SF15-V09 Armed Colonists C
