No problem. I completely understand. I figure that he is likely worth the ~$55 that he is going for in preorders on some sites. If I also get the ~$25 Nethyrmaul, then I get free shipping. Just don't tell my wife :)
As for Hyrekia, she indeed comes with Kaldarax in the Kickstarter (but they are sold separate after) and the Mr. Bones guy was a freebie for anyone that pledged.
I am in Phoenix, AZQuote:

Nice! I wish I had gotten Forces of Nature.
Do you all glues your models together? If so, what glue should I use? I have some super glue but I don;t know if I should use modeling glue.
Just pick up Forces of Nature when it hits their store. It is only $7 each ($14 total for what was $15 on the Kickstarter). It is the only thing that is going to be cheaper. Also, Reaper likes to throw freebie sample paints in their orders one occasion. With that being said, for big orders, I plan to use Miniature Giant. The free shipping point is $75 (instead of $25 that Reaper has), but their prices are cheaper. I placed my preorders for Nethy and Kaldarax there. I just couldn't be without them.
Super glue is fine. Depending on the part you might want to paint and then glue and then do any touch-ups needed. It is often easier to get into hard to reach spots that way. Use the Reaper forums for help. They are great people and very helpful/knowledgeable.
There are two types that most people use. There is Plastic Cement and there are "super glue" types. Plastic Cement melts the parts together through a chemical reaction. The downside is that it can harm the mini if it isn't applied exactly in the right spot. Super Glue is a weaker bond, but dries faster and is usually plenty for the minis. I use the Super Glue gel because it is very easy to get it in the right spot and it doesn't flow out which can create a mess. Its great for tiny pieces.
I'm jealous of your list there SewerUrchin. Tons of minis!
I'm going to go through the minis tonight to make sure I got everything. We can talk about a Skype session when you get your order in Sewer.
My Zombicide extras FINALLY arrived. After all that, my shirt came as an XL and I need an L. I have spent literally months hassling with them. It has been ridiculous. I am tempted to just give up on it and settle with the XL. Here is a quick pic:

I am painting now in anticipation of my order. I have plenty to paint (I have ~25-30 of the currently offered BONES sitting unpainted on my desk - among other things).
Sewer, do you play these games a lot with your family and friends or do you collect them as a hobby or both? I tend to collect these things more than play with them haha. Maybe we can Skype this weekend. I'll probably start painting tomorrow or so.
I try to play as often as I can which typically equates to having friends over 2-3 times a month. Lately, this is less because I had a son on the 4th of this month.
I have become kind of a collector too, though. It is kind of a side effect and really ends up as a vicious cycle (more games to play with friends, more friends over to play said games).
I finished up my rat from the LTPK#1: http://www.reapermini.com/forum/inde...25#entry734522
This goes with my other mini from LTPK#1 that I finished last month: http://www.reapermini.com/forum/inde...23#entry721919
Also, my daughter painted a few rats tonight: http://www.reapermini.com/forum/inde...-3#entry734531
I gloss/dullcoted both of them and posted a thread here: http://www.reapermini.com/forum/inde...iew=getnewpost
Counted all my minis last night and I'm good to do. Also bought a tackle box at walmart thats workign well.
Question for you all: How do you get the bent bones mimis to straighten out? I was going to run them under hot water to see if that would help.
I've got some minis that won't even stand up. I wish the material was less rubbery.
Boil them, then ice bath.
Try to not let them sit on the heat source. Boil for about 2-3 minutes. put them directly into an ice bath for another 2-3 minutes. They will "bounce back" to factory shape. Most of them don't even require you to force a position. It is easier than you would think. Make sure and wash again afterward since it will activate some residue.
That worked! I had 3 with issues and had to manually bend the bat swarm piece after boiling because it still was unevenly balanced. Thanks for the tip!
Here are picks for my storage systems:

Was debating using a tackle box or plano storage boxes. Opted for the tackle box because I only have to open one thing and I have everything at my finger tips. Player minis are on one side and DM NPC and mobs are on the other. I even have room for markers and a deeper bottom for the large figs.
That looks great!
I am so anxious to get mine. Is it weird that I am looking forward to organizing them?
Here's how mine are organized:

Thanks for the tip about boiling. I'll try that tonight.

I went through all my minis yesterday and I have exactly what I should have. That spreadsheet was great.
Also, the boiling/ice technique worked great. My owl bear can finally stand! I went ahead and did probably half of them through the boil/ice. I had a lot that were bent.
I have some with swords that are abit curved so I might do those to see if the sword straightens out.
I plan to practice painting on the rats and small creatures first.
I went to walmart to look for a tackle box and ended up coming home empty handed. I couldn't decide. I think I'll delay a little bit and wait until I have a few painted to figure out how to organize them. The boil/ice straightened out all the swords for me. I had one sword that was doing a 180, and its perfectly fine now.
I got my tackle box from walmart for $25. I like that i only have to poen one thing to access everything. The plano boxes are nice, but I think they are cumbersome to manage during play.
MY BONES ARRIVED TODAY!!!
Everything has been dry-fitted and inventoried. I have an extra set of four Nova guys and am short a couple of other figures. All-in-all not too bad of an accuracy in my opinion.

Nice, I don't see a Kaladrax :) :) (Thought I'd rub it in a bit)
I think that I hate you right now.Quote:
