Pick the level you want as a reward and add on extra.

So, for example I wanted Vampire Package($100) + Carry Case ($25) + The large Dragon ($10) + The two dragons ($15). So my total pledge is $150 with Vampire selected as reward.

When it's finished they will send a survey basically saying "So you have $50 left over, what do you want to use it on?".

^^^ Can you add additional stuff later? Like if I pledge $100 now, can I come back next week and say "Welp, I'd better get a case now" and add it to my existing pledge?

I think it's easier to start with something like this than wargaming miniatures, at least you won't agonize over how badly you messed up your color scheme on your first miniatures. If you change skintones/clothes etc. you can just say they're in different states of decomposing/different phases of the infection. Also there're tons of them and they're cheap so lots of practice.

Edit:
vvvvvv They emailed me a tracking number this afternoon, but mine won't be here until tomorrow. :(

This is completely crazy and I reckon Bones is the best thing to happen to this hobby in ages. I'm definitely going to pick up this deal! The $15 dungeon lot version is also awesome, it's got something like 30 figures in it. The $100 vampire level makes me want to construct + model an entire new Heroquest board or something equally ridiculous!

I've done it, you can change your donation/reward tier as long as the kickstarter is open. I did have a problem where, because I'm an idiot, I tried to change rewards before I changed the donation, which is obviously problematic, but other than that it works as expected.

Basically, cutting between those. Would a modelling knife be enough to do it do you think? I think cutters would destroy those drat feet.

I ended up leaving a little chunk of tab attached underneath each foot and used that as the pin to attach her to the base. Which involved very carefully laying out the planks on my bases. Goddamn tiny showgirl feet! :argh:

Keyhole sawblade for an xacto knife should get you what you are after. Alternately, flush-bit clippers if they are thin enough would work as well.

This. A modeling saw would also work. Flush clippers will work but they may wind up pushing the feet apart (you can bend them back).

Forgive the paint-art, but you did ask for a tutorial and underneath the simplistic appearance there are a few serious points.



Easiest way to get magnets into the hole is in a stack (especially for small ones).
Easiest way to get the stack of magnets off is to slide. If you pull, chances are the one in the hole will come out too.

Be VERY careful about polarity, it's easy to get part way through a big project and find that you have gotten some tiny magnets the wrong way around so that only your left arms stick or whatever.

I've never tried a dremel type thing, I use a simple pin drill, more or less exactly like you linked. Make sure you get the right size bit though. Even if you don't in the pack, they are easy (and cheap enough to get from a hardware store.

I use eBay for magnets, there are loads of places to get Neodymium magnets cheap.
(http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=neodymium&_sacat=0&_odkw=neomidium&_osacat=0)

Size wise, I have found 2mm diameter, 1mm deep magnets fine for smaller things. I used a pair in each of these for my vultures for example:



This is a few pages back, but I'm quoting this in its entirety because it's the first time I read a magnet guide and thought "I could do that" and then I could did that.

One thing I'd add is that it's much easier to magnetize bases before they're painted and finished. Sheesh.

On another note - crossposting from the warhams thread (I did not know there's a painting threat I'm dumb).

First batch of dudes is finally completed!
Painted, based, grassed up. Only thing missing is a clearcoat for protection - waiting for more to bulk-spray.



C&C greatly welcomed at this point!

I'm proud of these dudes, especially so considering how fuckin' far I've come since my last attempt at painting these things some 8 years ago (loving hideous).

For anyone curious about the basing - as mentioned before (in the other thread), I used high-grit tile-grout, mixed with a generous blend of dark grey paint and extra chunky grit (something like really rough sand).
It's a bit of a bitch to work with, as it comes in fat globs that you have to smear and spread - I use a little metal spatula clayshaping tool - but the end result is incredibly sturdy, it gloms onto whatever you stick into it (like the little chunks of rock - which used to be pure white), and drybrushes beautifully! Best is, if it chips off, there's just more dark grey 'gravel' waiting underneath it. Self healing base material!
To really secure the rock-chunks, I added a little dab of 'Hobby Glue' (superglue, any type that dries clear) at the bases of the rocks in inconspicuous locations.
The grass is plain old static-grass, sprinkled onto painted-on school-glue and flicked/blown clear as is usual.

Hah didn't even notice the miscast. The wonders of cameras and ENHANCE ZOOM IN EHNANCE!

Yes, they're primed chaos black, painted 'The Fang' - which is honestly brighter than the little color-preview pallets on the paint rack would suggest - and highlighted with Dawnstone grey.

I also need to add more gold to my dudes as was mentioned by others. Thinking some pinstriping in a few select spots - especially the crisis suit.

I'm using static grass for the first time on my terrain. I did the GW terrain kit and it worked out real well! I wonder though if there's a way to seal it in. Will something like a clear spray paint be ok to stop my grass from rubbing off of everything?
