Miniatures painting or gaming can be a pretty expensive hobby depending on a few things and we all know mini folks love a good bargain. Reapers Kickstarters are a "cash grab" and the brick and mortar shops really feel it. I spent a good amount of money and last weekend I saw some of bones 4 in my flgs.īones 5 though.I don't think I will be backing this. There were 2 paint sets, tons of minis, bases and more. I backed bones 4 and it was a great deal. You can of course send in pics later, but to take out a bit of the stress (most pics arrive here rather last minute) please consider the three day deadline.I was so excited for this bones. This way you’ll have two weeks/one weekend to paint, and we have one weekend to write (which is the only time of the week where we have some open minutes). –> Attention: The submission date for photos is about three days before publishing date, to give us a bit of time to actually write about your pictures 😀
Want to participate in the next post? Email the pictures of your minis until Friday 07 /11 /17 (It’s a. I like the overall look, although the mini would need one or two layers of wash to fit in with our more grimey style 😀 Nice idea to give the bones a grey undercoat with white highlights, that way the creature looks like something constructed, maybe from more than one dead body…! His version of Gauntfield also uses orange, albeit much brighter and really really pumpkin colored! Did you think about this/Halloween while painting, or how did you chose your color scheme? You wrote that you didn’t intentionally painted the mini in the team colors of the Denver Broncos (who are a football team? Baseball? European here :p ).
Kickstarter bones 4 update#
This scarecrow definitely looks like it’s coming to get us!īrian sent us Gauntfield clad in bright and familiar colors!Īs he already commented his picture came a bit later, but no worries, we can always update 😀 Very halloween-ish! The color of the cloak reminds me of pumpkins – is it reddish-orange in real life or does it just look that way? You wrote that you gave the scythe blade a red tinge, which is a nice detail – it seems more bloody than rusty, which adds to the menacing look of the face. He wrote that this was a speedy paintjob, but I can’t find any oversights 😉 The palette is traditional, and I really love the overall look. The paintjob is also very fitting, and the greenish runes on the scythe are a very cool touch. It’s really awesome how some little details completely chance the look of the whole mini, don’t you think? To do this, he covered most of the visible skeleton joints whith putty and scratch-built an enormous nose (reminding me of GW-style goblins or the wicked witch from Oz) which I absolutely love! The creature also got breasts, more rags to cover them and a very creepy eyeball pendant (please excuse the pun, but it’s a real eye-catcher!).
Kickstarter bones 4 how to#
I’m not convinced that the picture shows the whole glowing effect, but since the eyes and mouth look quite nice I’m still happy with the result 😀Īs an afterthough I dappled a bit of dark orange paint on the scythe for an quick-and-easy rust effect, what do you think?ĭirk said he hadn’t the faintest idea how to paint (or use) the mini, so he re-modeled it to be something else!Īlthough we were out of town over the weekend, he managed to green-stuff the scarecrow into a gaunt witch – a Hag, in D&D’s terms.
It was a tricky one, because the bright green had to go between the ribs – it would have been much easier to just brush the light on the elevated instead of the lower parts. When I looked at my mini, I wondered “How is this thing animated? Some kind of dark magic for sure!”Īnd since I’m always interested in lighting effects, I decided to give this scarecrow an evil glow! To do this, I decided where the glow would come from (the inside of the scarecrow instead of the bones themselves) and after painting the mini in base colors, I added bright green with a tad of white for the glow. When we chose Gauntfield, we picked it because of its size – it towers standard humans, I guess it’s supposed to scare a lot of crows – or some very big ones? Pterodactyles perhaps? On a closer look, the mini also shows some crisp details like the stitches on the burlap sack or the tiny skull as a belt buckle. *sigh* I know, American backers could enjoy their minis months before, but still… Shipping outside the US has always been difficult for the Bones Kickstarters, and we’ll see how the darned Brexit will influence the situation for Bones 4, since the european distribution went through the UK… But anyhow, the quality of the figures seems to be really nice, so I’m looking forward to painting some of them. Although Halloween is still months away, we painted some really spooky scarecrows this week!Įditorial Note: We just got our shipment of Bones 3 miniatures! Yay!Īnd guess what – tomorrow (August 1) the Bones 4 Kickstarter is going live.
