So, after much waiting, and the occasional muttered curse, it looks like Reaper has navigated both Canadian customs and their wily Chinese sub-contractors, and has shipped my kickstarter package!
In addition to the basic Vampire package, I picked up a few extras, including some giants, a clockwork dragon, and the Old One himself ;)
Part of the excitement has been the anticipation; I kicked in on this last Fall, and minis were supposed to start shipping in March, so it's been a wait. That said, I have only the vaguest idea what I'm going to do with these, never mind where I'm going to put them! There's some pieces I think will strictly be for the joy of painting them, especially some of the bigger stuff. A fair bit of it might be useful for HoTT or Song of Blades as well. I also have notions of these being "gateway" minis for the kids.
At the end of the day though, I think this is kind of a cultural phenomena. Gaming kickstarters have really taken off in the last year, but this is the one that inspired them, and it's nice to be a part of it. Of course, there's also the sheer pleasure of un-boxing. For those of you unfamiliar with this thing, here's my favourite clip of the "basic" package.
Fingers crossed for Bloodbowl Wednesday.

You could make any number of Mordheim warbands with these.
ReplyDeleteI am still waiting, I have a 9 item package! I figure they will ship it and it will arrive while I am on vacation next week.
ReplyDelete@Vladdd309 It's a FLOAD of figures!
:-o WHAT?
ReplyDeleteThis will keep you busy for years, I think. Looking forward to seeing you paint fantasy.
That's going to keep you busy for a very loooooooong time!

Be sure to give us a review on the quality of the castings and the material. Seems like an awful lot of models for a low price so I wonder if there's a downside. And I'm jealous I snoozed on the kickstarter myself ;)
ReplyDeleteMine is finally on its way too. yay!
