If you were excited by the massive Reaper Miniatures 'Bones' Kickstarter from a while back then you will be pleased to know that it is returning with it's second adventure into fundraising tomorrow!
The original Kickstarter went down a storm and people have been obsessed with their range of miniatures. The Bones range managed to expanded way past it's grass roots and produced some amazing monsters.
You can always dive in and check out the already existing Bones models.
Will you be awaiting this one with money in hand?
I’m a backer “vampire level” of Reaper Bone,the polymer is soft like rubber, absolutely not hard
So is the quality as good as they claim in the video Aigor?
I bought one last week as it happens to fin dout, my new local game store is a stockist. I bought a frost giant variant, it cost £6.20, which is about a third of the cost of the metal version (it stands a bit over 2 inches tall so its quite big) , its an odd material, you do not prime it, just wash it well, use hot/cold water dunks to straighten out weapons and basecoat it with non watered down stuff, I used the old foundation paints as my base layers, one coat and it worked perfectly. I’ll post… Read more »
I like the Frost Giant (with harpoon) and also the fire dragon
They seem affordable. if there is a UK supplier I might just have to relent
although they would only sit atop a pile of other stuff never to be finished and/or used lol

GW could learn lessons from the promo video 😉
Just checked out the previous KS and was wondering how much customs hit you for in the UK. What did you end up paying?
I’ve bought a lot of Reaper Bones, and while they are not the greatest in terms of preserving detail, they do have one giant advantage: I can get a bucket of good sculpts for cheap. $3.49 vs. $20.00 for the equivalent figure from a company like GW. I managed to bulk out most of my armies for a very reasonable cost. And let’s not forget, these are the same figures they sell in their fabulous pewter line. The loss in detail seems to be hit or miss, but it is never so bad that they can’t be used to fill… Read more »
Personally, I like the sculpt quality for the cost, but I don’t like how the paint holds. They are rubbery, and have a “memory” that you can set, by boiling some water, dunking in the bent part, fixing it in place, and dunking in ice water. I like that also. But again the paint… I found myself constantly having to go back and fix these strange little flakes that would just, disappear. That’s after priming also.
so in the first 25 min, they have 175K+ in backing and 1700 people backing it so far, should be good value for some minis
