I only have 6 items on my order, but I haven't recieved a shipping notification. Got a "we left a parcel with your neighbour" card today, but that neighbour said they haven't recieved anything! It's entirely possible the guy delivering just hosed up which door to put a card in but now I'm so paranoid I'll never get my Bones... :ohdear:

No need to worry, they're definitely sending me your bones. Thanks!

I think they're sort of all over the place, really. I was watching the counter yesterday, and each order would bump the number of line items by anywhere from 8 to 14. I suspect they're shipping at, say, 11 distinct line items, but regardless of how many total items in the order. So, like, vampire + 2x giants would be two line items for shipping timing, but obviously three line items for realsies. Maybe. :)

Nah, it looks like other notifications people have been posting are confirming that they aren't holding very strictly to ordering their shipments by number of line items at this point. Which is fine, I just want my email! They are literally intentionally giving me the finger every minute I don't have that email. How dare they.

I was inundated with little plastic monsters this morning. I have yet to crack open and start inventorying the vampire set itself, just finished going through my extras. Two mistakes so far. One hilarious, the other I have a question about :

1) This guy (the sketch dude from the fire giant warriors in the pledge map) is missing his sword. Is it just one piece that mates into both those holes, are are there two pieces there? It was just the main body and his buttcape in the bag.




2) This cracked me up. My male ice giant shipped with two left fists and no head. I made do:



When I go to get this fixed, are they going to just send me the missing part, or a whole new bag? Because honestly, I sorta hope the latter, so that I can actually make FistFace the Frost Giant.

e: Finished taking inventory. There were precisely zero other errors. No missing minis, no missing parts, nothing wrong at all except those two giants. Extremely well done, Reaper. :golfclap:

Here, have this, a thing I've been thinking about since the moment I discovered some of these bones were going to be translucent:

Bad Munki

The hard part is going to be cramming a battery and other bits into a standard base. Since a watch battery has a high enough internal resistance, all I really need is some sort of low-profile battery holder and that's it. I've found some that are basically no deeper than your typical base, but I've SEEN lower-profile. Anyhow, should be pretty sweet if I ever get it working and built the way I want. :)

Phase 1 complete, though: translucent minis look sweet when lit up from the inside.

So, what game do we play with all of these? It wouldn't be hard to stat em up in Song of Blades and Heroes, but are there any other skirmish games that can work with this kinda variety?

Iris of Ether posted:

Quick search on Adafruit and Sparkfun yielded this. I'm not sure it's going to be possible to get much smaller than this with a coin cell battery. :D

Yeah, that's the one I've been eyeing the most, although I've seen some that don't actually go over the battery and just wrap around the sides, saving a precious little bit of vertical space (i.e. absolutely no thicker at all than the battery itself.) Obviously less secure of a grip, so I'll probably go with one like what you linked, and just do it with slightly thicker bases.

I've got some reaper black wash. Anyone tried applying it directly to bones without any paint underneath at all? I know watered down paints on bones tends to not go well, but I'm curious if straight wash will do any better.

What I want is to get some black wash down in the creases of some of the green translucent ghostly types so when I led them up, the high points (bones and such) glow more than the recesses.

No, the reaper black wash doesn't stick to unprimed minis, or at least not to the unprimed parts of my minis.
For the transparent minis, I got an brush on acrylic clearcoat to put down first, my washes seem to stick to that just fine.
Huh. Because I had a duplicate of this one green translucent one (the skeletons climbing out of the ground in a cloud of wispy smoke) so I just decided to see what'd happen between my previous post and now. The wash was undiluted, and seems to stick just fine and flow well. This was after giving the mini a good washing off with dish soap and a toothbrush and then drying it thoroughly, mind you. this was with 09255 Black Wash.

That's not to say the result was what I necessarily wanted, but the application went surprisingly well.

There's some figures where they glued on a piece, and I really wish they hadn't because it'll be a bitch to paint under a part.

On that note, does anyone know if they plan to ship them assembled in general (i.e. non-kickstarter sales)? There are some of these that I'd really like to get unassembled for various reason. Like the big fire elemental, I'd reeeaaally like to have him unassembled.

So are they basically done with the official campaign, then? Aside from those of you who fell through the cracks or whatever. I'm just wondering if now would be a good time to start addressing FistFace the Frost Giant and Stumps the Handless Giant.

That's a pretty silly thing to say, because next time you want something from them, you probably won't be pre-back-ordering it through a kickstarter.
