My first Kickstarter actually  When I heard that Reaper's doing a KS I immediately got interested, when Isaw how much they actually offer my jaw hit the floor. I immediately pledged for something like $250, i.e. Vampire, 3 of the 4 paint sets (now I regret not getting the fourth), some dragons (including the 2 huge undead ones), blah. I'v been a Reaper fan for a longest time. I started (unsurprisingly) with GW, but they had their serious aesthetics problems even back then in the 90s, especially with elf/female minis (insert joke how GW sculptors had never seen real women). In contrast, Reaper's are awesome, I love Klocke's elves. It's one of the rare companies that I can trust to make something totally random and there's a 90% chance they not only won't gently caress it up but it'll match my taste. And I simply looove RMS paints  so silky smooth coverage and awesome to blend  My main problem with Reaper is that there are like 2 online stores importing them to Poland, they have limited range, and I can't afford to pay some ridiculous shipping every time I order a mini or two (no I can't plan 50 minis ahead). And don't even start about the paints. I saw them once on a clearance sale and each time I remember it I curse myself for not buying the whole available range  So, that was my big chance, I spend way more than I usually do on minis (especially when I'd see them in several months) and I think I have enough fantasy proxies to last me a few years. Skirmish games, board games, bookends, whatever. Still worth it. Have you tried out any Bones minis already? How good is the detail compared to their metal counterparts? It's very hard to see in photos and if I'm gonna be disappointed, I want to be prepared. Also, apparently they come already assembled/glued, how careful is their assembly (misaligned parts, superglue spills, etc.)? moths posted:I'm considering "painting" most of my bones with a black wash and using them as playing pieces. I don't want to go nuts, but I'd like a look that compliments the printed out terrain I'm into using.  ), let dry for 48 h, done! Lots of people do their low-detail minis (historicals, boardgames) this way.

I never noticed that, and come to think of it, it's pretty offensive. Are they implying that men are dumb primitives only useful for fighting or what?quote:http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/60148/sku-down/60148

Well, they can just email Reaper and ask them not to put anything non-fantasy in there. And pay extra for individual packing Seriously, what the gently caress? You're getting an awesome deal, it's not like you can't sell them on Ebay or something.

I kept the Sophie, figured a limited mini every once in a while can't hurt and I got all I wanted anyway, well except the case but I'd have to pay extra for shipping. Later I was kicking myself for not getting the last paint set, but that was another decision entirely, made before I knew how good Reaper paints are.

Remember that you can apply the Quickshade/stain with a large brush, this is often more convenient than dipping (you don't have to throw stain all over the place). BTW, has anyone tried dipping/staining Bones material already? If so, with what results?

No multiple coats; assume the "Army Painter method" - no primer (because Bones), basecoating (single coats, maybe double, paint with good coverage), dipping/brushing QS, matt varnish. And speaking of primer, is Vallejo acrylic-urethane airbrush primer good for Bones?

Argh, it seems I got bumped to the end of the queue because I wanted an extra Mr Bones. Oops  Still, I'm telling myself I have a few extra weeks of shipping anyway (what's the delay for EU shipping, BTW?).VVV: This way when they inevitably melt in the courier van, you'll be able to separate them into their own misshapen blobs

Seriously, they handled it pretty well, with good communication, and then suddenly the ticker goes down, shipping slows down enormously, so does communication, and well we're still waiting for any concrete info besides "no we're still shipping". Maybe they just care gently caress all about other countries, how am I supposed to know  What I meant is that's a huge order for me and also a verification of what I've heard about Reaper (which was good things). Now I have both others' opinions and my actual experience and they are very different. They could show me they're awesome, but they've made me wary. VVV: Heh, that argument wouldn't fly with us, it's more like "gently caress the Poles, they'll complain about everything anyway"

JerryLee posted:Where did they say that? Full comment (names redacted): quote:Creator Reaper Miniatures about 19 hours ago So, it's OK to string people along with a fake shipping ticker and moving the shipping date god knows how many times, but if we're late to ask for a refund, it's our fault? And the comment about "technically not having to return a thing"... Well Reaper, technically I don't have to be a return customer. And with these kinds of comments you've convinced me not to. Seriously, if you're gonna hold the technicalities over our heads after admittedly finishing 90% of the order, your reputation's gonna go down the drain faster than you can say "Was it really a success?"
