Come April (estimated) my distributor will have them in stock and I can sell you one.
They Retail for $75 whats it worth to you?

Oh, and while unrelated to the Kickstarter, they've started to prototype their CAV models (think Battletech-style mechs) in Bones. That might be of interest to some folks.

Yeah, too bad the rules for the game blow donkey dicks. Though a wargame with ultra cheap miniatures is a grand idea, I feel like its 1995 again and I only have to pay $2.50 for a Space Marine captain.

I don't know if you want to add it to the OP but when bones are commercially available, I can get and sell them at 40% off MSRP. I usually do orders once a month. I don't really make any money off this, but I don't keep my distribution account to make money so its no big deal.

Things I can get are listed here: http://www.warpathgames.com

I actually prefer passive poses in a lot of cases, both male and female. It gets a little boring to have everyone always in the motion of swinging an axe or whatever.

I agree, games don't feel right when you know your just moving your figure and it looks like the model is rushing to take someones head at that very instant.

Not sure I would call aiming a double barreled sawed off shotgun passive... But if he was holding it at his side or across his chest then yeah I would agree with that and the pose being passive.

The clockwork dragon retails for $24.99 btw.

I think the fire giant bodyguard turned out very well.

He retails for $8.99

And small characters like this cleric

retail for $2.49

Some of the mid sized figures are between $3.99 and $5.99 as well. This marsh troll is $4.99


Its not really standardized, they seem to be pricing them based on the amount of material more than anything, the female storm giant for instance is $6.99 where the male is $9.99

To me, this is a fair and equitable way of pricing. Isn't their plastic injection machine in-house now, so they KNOW how much everything costs material wise?

Yep. They are all being made in Texas now. The Kickstarter was so that they could expand / accelerate the bones line and buy the equipment to start doing it inhouse.

I personally think if that's the look you are going for a good primer base (gray or white) and a thick-ish wash is more effective, and less of a pain in the rear end. GW washes, or a make your own with acrylic inks, flowaid, matte medium and water.

And if you prime white and use multiple colors of wash you can get some pretty amazing results for very little work.

Sorry if I've missed this, but has there been any indication of when all the new Bones will be available at retail? I've seen a place say nebulously (and perhaps unreliably) that they'll be available in July, but other than that...

My distributor has added more bones to their preorders. so its looking like "soon" is the best answer we will get.

Just checked the counter, they're down under 10,000 orders remaining. Based in it being 3:00 in Texas right now and them having completed 750 orders so far today, I assume they get through 1,000 orders a day, so it looks like the next couple of weeks should do it.

Keep in mind the larger orders at the end will take longer to pack.

Clearly kala needs to be put on a custom rectangular base so you can use him in games. :black101:

I've heard the game wasn't very good, has anyone played it?

A good minis wargame that used affordable bones miniatures would be wicked.

Its mediocre, and doesn't really have any flavor. BGG rating 6.82.


$5 for a bones figure doesn't really help their cause any. They also didn't put the dollar amount on the "stretch goals" The figures they show in the vid look ok as far as weapons and hard edges go, but I doubt that is practical full production quality and not cherry pick of the lot.

Edit: they do put the dollar amount, its on the ugly space map at the top, not on the images of the streatch goals. This KS feel bad all around to me...
Every stretch goal is another $12k so far. It adds a single figure to the core pledge, and another figure you can add on for $5.

I was under the impression that they could adjust the durometer of the plastic to give them harder edges and more ridged pieces. Didn't they do something like that with the clockwork dragon wings?
