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?

My suggestions:
Aetherverse
No Quarter (or No Limits)

"And lo, there came a great booming from the heavens, that quelled the hearts of normal men, but caused a great uplifting to Xenaphor and his band of heroes: 'Art thou ready to rock?' the booming demanded. They looked to their hearts, then up spake Xenaphor: 'We are ready to rock!' And they were, and it was good." --Verses 18-20, Chapter 14, the Book of Metal.

Wanna read about this party.

That's a bit harsh, but not untrue. I'm really hoping Reaper steps this up soon, I'm not quite as happy with the miniatures spread on this one. I'd really like to see some more SciFi stuff (even as a paid addon) as well as some models with a coherent design style. Some sort of city guard, or part of the Warlord line, or something like that. Would be great for people wanting to put together wargaming armies, or for roleplayers wanting some mooks that look like they belong together.

I'm not sure it will matter though, unless they find some way to really get funds rolling in quickly. Right now the value for the whole package is good, but not earthshaking. I'm still not sure I'm going to keep my pledge.

Vallejo's Model Air, Liquid Gold, and some of the Model Color metallics are amazing

Fixed that for you.

Really not happy with the VGC metallics, they're way too 'glittery'

See, I'm loving that pack so far, but they're going to need to fill it up before I put any money towards it.

I would happily throw some money at them for individual items, but I sure don't want to pay the full $50 for the few items I want.

Does anyone have the $30 figure case? Is that worth getting for storing painted Bones or should I just keep them in a baggie or something? Where do people keep 200+ figs anyway?

I got one with Bones I, and was rather disappointed. I posted it in the painting thread a while ago, but here's a blog post on how I made my model storage cases.

Bones aren't for painting, they're for storing in boxes.

Yeah, I've been making a conscious effort to start producing painted models at a steady rate. Still have way too much to go through, though.

The head's just a bit parallelogramish, looks like. The detail is all there, it's just squished one way. Looks like a conversion of one of their older sculpts.

Also, that upped my painted bones count by 8%! I think I'll put him.......riiiiiiiiiiight......HERE.

I'm glad I could contribute even a little to helping that wall of shame

For shame, people. All the cool kids already sent him their model.

This post is a reminder to myself, as well as a handful of other scofflaws, that we owe Bad Munki a painted miniature.

_Some_ of us were fine upstanding goons, and actually delivered. :|

I think it's like an inch, inch and a half. Definitely doable as an objective, although it will not fit on a 25mm base.

I don't know why you think they're doing that. is it because my bill didn't have an additional "Shipping and Handling" line on the invoice? Why do you think that the cost of shipping just isn't rolled into the cost of, say, a core set? Say it costs $50 to make the core set, covering labor, materials, importing, etc. They add their markup of whatever % and say that brings it to $90. They make it $100 and just silently roll all that together. Now I pay $100, I don't pay an extra shipping fee, but your poo poo isn't subsidizing my poo poo. Your bill has the additional shipping charges line because yours is (ostensibly) whatever my shipping cost was PLUS what you see on that line. Do you really think that if you get something from amazon and it says "free shipping" that the shipping is actually free and not just incorporated into the price of the item?

I get that you're pissed about that huge charge on top of your original invoice, and reasonably so, that's pretty sizable and a bit ridiculous. But at the same time, you're making assumptions about the internal finances of Reaper that I'm pretty sure you have no actual data on.

This is a good and rational post.

I was Wave 1 and still haven't received either a package or a shipping notice. Would it be worth contacting someone about that, or should I wait?

I'd start by logging on to the bon3s pledge manager and making sure your shipping address and email address are accurate. Then I'd check your spam folder for anything from reaper.

Yeah, already verified all of that. Addresses line up, and nothing in my spam folder
