Comrade Anklebiter, is it true what they say? Is support for trump rising amongst the union rank and file?

Still got a Labour MP (by about 400 votes...). Phew.

On course for another f***ing 5 years of Tory rule.

Sh*t.

I saw the exit polls and the general panic they kicked off. Your seperatists swept scotland. We went through that back in the 90s.

Fell down into the deep dark hole that is finishing a thesis and having a kid at the same time.

But I'm back now! Ish.

You might get a bastion of socialism springing up in the petrocracy of Alberta:

Sean mentioned hardware stores. I have to second that; putties and resins cost significantly more when marketed to hobbyists.

Wetting my fingers helped a lot but it still sucked. Yur right about the price too, it was super expensive. I just bought it cuz it was what games workshop sold and I was buying it for their product.

The trade name for green stuff is kneadatite. You can always find it for cheaper than what gw sells it for. They just repackage it and slap a mark up on it.

Sovereign Court

Been a while since I've had any time to paint, but I've started prepping some figs for some speed painting. Still need to clean up the excess sand and I missed a few spots priming.

Apologies for the cellphone pics.

Tre manor goblins

They will be painted to match these ones: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A_vbCZ9CIAACMNQ.jpg:large http://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/at/at2/2013/1/29/db388a97063d54040f48d564e1ef 4b6a_61721.jpg

If you aren't too picky about a perfect match, you could try ebay for tyranids and genestealers. Even horrible paint jobs will dissolve after a soak in simple green.

Sovereign Court

It's a fairly good answer to criticism that strikes solely at the rate at which the comic comes out (if this was part of a collection), given that there is an easy solution:

Wait to read the comic until there is a backlog built up.

If you live in texas you can pick up in person from their Denton store with the early birds, no matter what time you pledge would normally ship.

And a scale shot of the tarrasque, although most of the details are covered - I think someone has masked him off for air brushing:

Offical quote on that:

Quote:


Creator Reaper Miniatures 1 minute ago

@David Miller - you will not be forced to select the Core Set at the $100 level - although the pledge calculator will default you to "1". You may manually change that to "0" and select $100+ worth of other rewards if you wish.

Sovereign Court

12 hours to go. Things are starting to pick up.

Is it posible to just buy an expansion?

I'm only really tempted by Expansion 2 and a couple of add-ons.

If you want around 100 dollars worth of stuff you can also pledge at the 100 dollar level. Reaper says you can spend the 100 dollars any way you like - either on a core set, or 2 expansions, or 1 expansion + add ons, or all add ons.

Sovereign Court

Some barbarians are going to be added to the core.

Sovereign Court

Looks an awful lot like an upright tarrasque being sculpted:

Check you account settings on paizo - you may have opted out?

Sovereign Court

They flipped over another trick card, a troll slayer sophie added to the core set at 2.2 million.

28 mm scale (normal rpg scale), made of bones, and extras available for $2 each.

It's been a while since I looked at legacy of fire, could that worm be a good stand in for Xotani or another spawn of rovagug?

Boom another stretch goal down!

Next up is a horrific giant rot grub demon!

We have now Unlocked the Angels in Expansion Set 2!

Next up - The Tentacular Aliens in Expansion Set 3!

And following this - We Bring to you Mashaaf - Great Old One!

She's a great enormous worm-like creature, suitable as a Lovecraftian horror, the Demon Lord of Charnel Grubs, or the Mother of all Devouring Worms! Once we reach $2,275,000, she can be yours by simply increasing you pledge by $12!!

But there's More to come!

We've still got more coming for the Core Set!

More Options!

More things to fill out the Expansions!

But we need your help to achieve these new goals!

Be sure to follow us on Twitter @Reapermini, talk about the Kickstarter using #ReaperBones, Like us on FaceBook, talk about us on every forum you can, and join our forums at reapermini.com/forum to join in the conversation! The more backers we get, the more sweet rewards we unlock for you!

To make it easier for you to track, Dark Purple images will be added to your Core Set, Light Purple are Extra copies of those rewards, Ochre ones are Expansion 1, Orange ones will be available as additional rewards simply by increasing your pledge, Expansion Set #2 is on a Blue background, and Expansion Set #3 is Red!

If it gets overwhelming the Pledge Claculator can help you keep track of it all at https://ks.reapermini.com/ It saves your pledge, so you don't have to remember what you were pledging for, but it's flexible enough that you can make changes to your pledge at any time!

THANK YOU!

If you keep an eye on the ks you might be able to snag an earlier slot. There is a bit of movement during the day.
