Re: For all you miniature lovers
Plus, there are some freakishly cool minis in there.
The Clockwork Dragon and the Dracolich both spring to the forefront of "Gotta have 'em" lists.It doesn't matter what game you're playing as long as you're having fun.

Re: For all you miniature lovers
I would absolutely love to get those, but unfortunately living outside of the US and more importantly, being terrible at painting miniatures, limits me somewhat

Re: For all you miniature lovers
Thank god for people like you. This would have flown right over my head if you hadn't posted. I love you in the most un-weird way possible.

Re: For all you miniature lovers
Pretty much the same. Looks amazing, I don't get how the miniatures are so cheap -- I don't even understand how they're going to ship all those minis worldwide for $25 when the postage for CoC HotOE re-release is $30 for a T-shirt, campaign box, tote bag and GM screen.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to paint miniatures, so I can't really justify it to myself to back the Reaper projectLast edited by DeIdeal; 2012-08-24 at 11:19 AM.

Re: For all you miniature lovers
I think they look great even unpainted.
Do you have to glue them together like GW miniatures? They look like they are seamless...Last edited by Zejety; 2012-08-24 at 11:32 AM.

Re: For all you miniature lovers
Like DeIdeal says, the shipping isn't that bad. I mean, it's an extra 25% if you're just going for the Vampire level, but then you're still paying $125 for over 200 miniatures; still less than a dollar each.
I'm torn on whether or not I get them, but if I do, I know that I'm not going to let painting them be a problem either; I can't paint for crap, but they still look pretty awesome without it.
Far as I know there's no glueing or anything.It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.

The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Re: For all you miniature lovers
Looks like a really good deal! Kind of makes me wish I was into minis.

Re: For all you miniature lovers
Hmm. I might get them, I don't know. I'll have to wait for over half a year before I get them. ((GiTP really needs a "Hmm" Smilie))

Re: For all you miniature lovers
Hey, I don't know how to pain either and I'm still going for it. Hell, I'm thinking about going double Vampire. Besides, it's not like you won't have plenty of minis to practice on here.

Re: For all you miniature lovers
Dammit!
I can't paint worth a damn.
I GM/play online now, via maptools and skype.
I've already got a pretty wide range of GW/D&D minis.
I have no realistic plans for getting back into table top gaming.
.
.
.
But I really want a set of these minis!
$125/Ł80 for shelf-decorations. I must be crazy!
(would be trading in the metal Sophie for Orcpocalypes! or Red Dragon+something else)

Re: For all you miniature lovers
I live outside of US as well(though for a couple of hours, I'm still in Canada, but sadly that doesn't count) and can't paint worth a damn, yet I just pledged 160 dollars, for vampire level, postage, Cthulhu mythos and dracolich. They are just too awesome not to have.
Besides, you never know. Maybe this helps me find out my talent for painting that has been hiding thus far

Re: For all you miniature lovers
I used to live in Denton, Texas, where there factory is. It is an incredible place... I guess my point is that if anyone can afford it, take them up on the factory tour.

Re: For all you miniature lovers
Voicing support for this; I just looked at the insane amount of minis you can score through this. Less than a day left; jump on it.
...not meaning to sound like a viral marketer, but seriously the number of "extra bonus content" milestones they've hit has swelled the $100 level to an insane number of minis.Need a place to hang?

Re: For all you miniature lovers
Ok so I just dropped my Ł80 (125 USD) on the big package. Once March comes around I don't think I'll ever be in want of another mini again.
Just on the numbers I'll be getting 3 dudes for each Ł1 I put in! (Less than 1 hour to go!)Last edited by Totally Guy; 2012-08-25 at 04:15 PM.

Re: For all you miniature lovers
What do you guys think, will the eight inch Cthulhu be added as a reward?
Because I couldn't pledge anything more at the end there, so I certainly hope soAdrie, half elven bard. Drawing by Vulion, avatar by CheesePirate. Colored version by Callos_DeTerran.

Re: For all you miniature lovers
Hmmm...
I will consider this very carefully. There are a lot of minis to be had in those twenty five bucks, but then, Sofie is pretty nice too.Adrie, half elven bard.

She's no three dragons. Or one dragon and two demons. Or a minis case. Or paints and Deep Dwellers. Or twenty orcs.
