Painted a Bone last sunday. Painted another one tonight. During the morning football I'm too busy watching six to eight games at once to paint, but by the afternoon it's down to just two or three I care about, and sunday night is just one game. I'm finding a single human-sized Bone takes me about two or three hours of actually-painting to do. So let's see, I guess I'll need about... uhh... th... no, maybe about forty years of football seasons in which to paint all my bones, at this rate. Sounds about right! I'm sure by the time I'm in my 80s I won't have the hand-eye control to do it any more.

The siphon feed airbrushes tend to have their own bottles. You can probably fill those up with a mix and store paint in them for later use, but honestly, for miniatures, that's hella overkill. Apparently it's great for big projects and such. For airbrush work on cars, etc... people tend to use multiple airbrushes, one with each color. The cost difference is easily made up by the time saved. I don't know how easy those are to clean out quickly but they seem like they would be a pain.

Latest update basically says this next shipment won't be in their hands until January, and then they will have... 80% of their product! My bet's on March delivery. They've both said there will be a Bones4 in the spring, and it won't start until everyone has their Bones3 stuff.

That's basically what they're looking at, yeah. Best case scenario has all the stuff in their hands late January, with a February deployment. Bones 4 will commence shortly thereafter.

Y'know, as someone who back this last one as their first Bones Kickstarter, maybe they shouldn't be starting a new one until they actually deliver their last one. But apparently that's crazy talk, since I never see a company do that. Almost like companies are using constant overlapping Kickstarters to hide cash flow problems.

If Reaper has any sense (and they seem to have a bit) they would launch their new Kickstarter right after delivery of the current one- that way they can say 'look at all the stuff we just fulfilled, we did it!' and plus all the people that backed the last one will be giddy from getting their stuff/addled by the offgassing of resin and plastic, and back the new one too.

Which is what they're doing. They expect to be done delivering around February, so they're planning to run the next Kickstarter around March. However, if the delivery is further delayed, it will also delay Bones IV. They will not start the new one until the old one is fulfilled.

Yeah, I think it makes best finacial sense to try and sequence your kickstarters like this. The guys who are going to be doing sculpting + media etc for a new kickstarter are not your deal with Chinese outsourcer + payments + logistics people so it would be insane not to be preparing the next kickstarter because you're just wasting money and time on those people. I agree reaper is best to delay launch until the other campaign has shipped (or at-least has completed shipped except for obscure geographies, if Brazil or South Africa is still waiting you might want to bite the bullet anyway)

A huge percentage of customers for each kickstarter are going to be drawn from happy previous-kickstarter customers. Delivering what they wanted to those people is probably really important to do before going back to the well with the same customers. You also really don't want people commenting in your new kickstarter "hey where's all my stuff from the previous one, you jerks!" because that might kind of discourage your new customers. So Reaper delaying until the previous KS is filled is very pragmatic and profit-maximizing for them and probably has less to do with some sort of sense that they owe their previous backers delivery before doing another.

I suppose, but they've also provided enough minis options in the bones kses that an army game isn't out of the question either, or at least a warband skirmish one like deadzone/necromunda/mordheim.

Reaper has several games, though I'm given to understand they're not terribly good. Warlord and CAV are the big ones (fantasy army game and not-Robotech respectively). They've also had a few other games over the years. Reich of the Dead, Cowboys and Gunslingers, etc, though I don't think any of those are currently going concerns even to the extent Warlord is. They did have a CAV Kickstarter, and got their mechs into Bones, much to the excitement of Battletech players who want cheap stompy robots.

They've said in their updates that at a minimum, they won't go to retail until fulfillment is done, but I suspect it'll be basically no delay at all, and in reality, there'll be a little crossover, like yes they'll only go to retail once they've gotten fulfillment done, but order fixing and special issues notwithstanding.

I know they won't be out before the KS is fulfilled, but I wondered what the wait might look like. I have some buyers remorse about a couple of figures I passed on and want to grab them once they hit the shelves. E: Unless someone that ordered the core set would be willing to sell me the Savage Worlds minis and maybe the 116 Foo-dog and the 128 Mastiff.

Will I be able to buy it later? They say "a few months." That likely doesn't include error fixing, but Reaper is pretty quick about error fixing once everything ships out. I had no errors in Bones II, but in Bones I they gave store credit for the two individual minis I had problems with (one missing, one with a limb missing). I think for larger errors they had stuff shipping within a week or so of fulfillment completion.

I think the only two Bones errors I've had to date were with Bones I, and were packaging errors in China: one of my giants had two left hands, and another was missing a head, or something like that. I sort of expected them to just throw a new mini at me, but nope, got the individual pieces just exactly as noted and in pretty short order without any fuss. A+ e: Ha, here was my temporary solution at the time:

Cool. NBD. I was just wondering. Finding pseudo historical/steampunk minis that don't cost an arm and a leg after shipping is tough. Some of the bones fit the bill for looks right, is cheap, and I can source locally.

Pretty sure it took more than a year to get all the B2 stuff into the store after fulfillment. They added a few things at a time, probably so they didn't flood the retail channel with new product all at once. (there was some stuff I decided not to splash out for in the KS that I decided I wanted later and had to wait for.) However all is not lost - they had B2 stuff for sale during convention appearances before it was in the online store, so if you can make it to PAX west or one of their other shows where they are selling minis, you should probably score. After KS fulfillment for sure though. If they sold anybody anything before fulfillment was 100% done after all the delays they'd get hunted down and scalped.

I appreciate how forward they continue to be with these updates letting backers know exactly where the containers are and what the future holds. Also the fact that they'll be attending shows and it each show they specifically state that they will not be selling any bones 3. I understand that it's in their best interest to be this forward because many people that back Kickstarter are a-holes that can be really annoying if babies don't get their toys now now now. I hope all the containers are at sea and there isn't still one to go.
