Reaper Bones 77024 Goblin Bowmen

I ended up with 24 of these.  8 of each pose.  These are true meat shields so you need a lot of them but they will not be on the table very long.  As such I tried to stay with army painting of a base coat and a shade and call it done.  First up are the 8 with bows

Reaper Bones 77042: Orc Marauder

Well it's time to start work on all of the Bones Black Orcs.  Eventually I want to use them to put together a Kargir army for warlord.

I started out by removing the integral base as I'll be attaching them to GF9 25mm square magnetic bases.  I like to pin them and attach to dowels to make them easy to handle when painting and the pin can be used to attache them to the base.

Instead of painting them all alike I'm trying some different colors for the furs and metals.  Using washes to tie them together.

Bones II Kickstarter

Well they did it again.  I have bought more plastic crack.  This time there seems to be a lot more options to spend you money on.  I think a plus was how they broke out the sci-fi models into their own expansion so if you were one of the ones complaining about not wanting to pay for them in the first kickstarter now you could avoid them.

Yesterday I went to Reaper Factory in Denton Texas for the end of the kickstarter celebration.  They were nice enough to feed us Texas BBQ and let us paint some mini's.

I picked up an Orc Hunter 77045 and tried out some different paints.  This was the first time I used 09040 Dark Shadow.  This is more of a wash and I found it worked quite well in place of the Augax Earthshade I normally use.

Orc Hunter 77045

The highlight was getting to see Reaper Bryan take a pie to the face




Here is a link to the official video.  I'm in the back of the crowd shot at the end:


They had some of the Big options on display, even a few of them were painted.

Khanjira, The World Breaker

Narthrax Dragon

And finally it all came to an end.  Congratulations to Reaper for another successful Kickstarter.  Now I just need to paint all this stuff before they start shipping the new stuff.

Reaper Bones 77064 Kavorg Warboss

I painted this one at the paint and take at Anime fest 2013.  When I got home I added some washes to the shield and metals and called it done.  This time I remembered to bring my own paintbrush which made it a lot more fun.

Reaper Bones 77016 Rats

I found this link for inspiration

I decided that I didn't want the rats to all look alike so I base coated with 4 different colors of brown from the HD range of paints.  I think my favorite is Ashen Brown as it seems the most rat like to me.  The other browns are more hamster colors.

I think these can make a good challenge for a first level party.  Everyone needs to grind low levels on something and maybe rats can be the new kobolds.
