Reaper Bones #21 - Nova Corp & IMEF Soldiers - 15 Sci-Fi Badasses in heavy armour

Monday 15 June 2020

Reaper Bones #21 - Nova Corps & IMEF Soldiers

Every Sci-fi RPG needs a squad of tooled up bad hombres to either be the villains or to take them down. Be it a bughunt or a hostile corporate takeover the Nova Corps and IMEF are just the boys and girls you can rely upon.

My Nova Corps / IMEF squad came came as a 15 mini set in the original Bones Kickstarter.

1 x Female Nova Corp Officer (sku: 50146)
2 x Garvin Markus, Nova Corp Hero (sku: 80014)
2 x Nova Corp:Soldier (sku: 80012)

2 x Nova Corp: Rifleman (sku: 80015)
2 x Nova Corp:Guard (sku: 8001)
1 x IMEF: Reggie Van Zandt (sku: 80017)

1 x IMEF: Erik Proudfoot (sku: 80020)
1 x IMEF: Jazz Jenkins (sku: 80019)
1 x IMEF: Nick Stone sku: 80016

Reaper Bones #19 - Townsfolk

Townsfolk were a welcome addition to the original Reaper Bones Kickstarter.

I can't believe that I've DM'd for 37 years and not had any decent villagers to put infront of my players. Well that time is over, let me present:

Townsfolk: Strumpet (Bobby Jackson SKU: 77086)

I don't think we have to say much about this mini other than that I can't possibly think what might happen if I answer her beckoning call...

Strumpet

Townsfolk: Mom and Kids (Bobby Jackson SKU: 77087)

I couldn't resist the temptation to paint the "strumpet" 5 years later. Hope she's getting some welfare cheques for those kids. Oh wait it's a quasi medieval setting, one of them is probably related to the local Baron...

Mom & Kids

Townsfolk: Blacksmith (Bobby Jackson SKU: 77142)

This guy is the strong and silent, stoic sort of guy who will get you out of a jam. As long as you pay him up front.

Blacksmith

Townsfolk: Oswald the Overladen (Bobby Jackson SKU: 77141)

What can we say about Oswald? He's a fairly reliable chap if you don't mind his grumbles and muttering. Keep him well paid and he will carry more than his own weight (literally). Don't get him to cook for you. Who knows where that raw chicken came from but I'm fairly sure it's attracting flies...

Oswald the Overladen

You might notice that I am now using my new light box which came with two backdrops. I think you'll agree they are much better photos. If you haven't got one I can heartily recommend that you get a USB mini photo studio from eBay for cheaps, you won't regret it.

Reaper Bones #18 - Furniture

I bet that there aren't that many people who have painted their Bones furniture.

Crypt of the Vampiress (Bob Ridolfi SKU:02990)

Crypt of the Vampiress - Buy your own

This is a neat little Gothic Horror set which also comes with a female vampire and the treasure chest which I painted alongside the mimic in episode of this series. You can buy the pieces individually:

Sarcophagus - SKU: 77137
Treasure Pile and Candelabra - SKU: 77138

The Well of Chaos (Bob Ridolfi SKU: 77136)

This is a pretty foreboding miniature and with a name like The Well of Chaos I had to fill it with blood. I did have visions of lighting this with an LED from below (which I still might do) so I filled the well with a mix of 5 minute epoxy (Araldite) and a tiny bit of red paint.

The stream of blood is simply a strand of fibre optic which is fixed into two holes one in the well and one in the spout. this is then coated with the red epoxy.

The Altar of Evil (Bob Olley SKU: 77139)

For such a scary sounding mini this is pretty uninspiring but it has a big enough cavity that I can run fibre optics from the skull eyes to a green LED. Should liven things up a bit.

The Dias (Me SKU: free to download from Thingiverse)

In order to light up these minis I'm going to need a battery compartment and to be honest these two items need to be elevated for dramatic effect. I designed a 3x4 inch dias to accomodate both miniatures as seen in the crypt photo above.

Reaper Bones #17 - Some Personalities

The great thing about the Bones Kickstarter was the sheer variety of minis. The first wave included monsters, sci-fi, modern, undead and of course quite a few player character minis. This week we have three personalities who could quite easily represent PCs,NPCs or villains.

Autumn Bronzeleaf (Jeff Grace SKU: 77069)

I really like this sculpt and the first Jeff Grace creation I have painted. The costume is interesting and the pose fierce but regal. Nice work Jeff.

Damien, Hellborn Wizard (Derek Schubert SKU: 77149)

Okay so my mini got a bit of customization. I needed a special character mini for a special D&D 5e campaign (only The Tomb of Annihilation). My character was a bit special as well, Wizards of The Coast had just released the Magic The Gathering setting Ravnica for 5e and I opted to play a Vedalkan sucked into Faerûn by some magical contraption. Vedalkan's don't have tails so Damien lost his and he got a blue paint job. His Transformation into Kaori the Vedalkan Apprentice Wizard was complete.

Kaori died quite a few times along the way but fortunately was plucked from the clutches of the Soul Monger at the last minute, discovered interesting uses for Mold Earth, worked out that a Transmutation specialist is a bit useless if the dungeon has transmutation anti-magic zones and ultimately survived to reach 9th level.

Ezren, Iconic Wizard (Todd Harris SKU: 89013)

One of the Pathfinder range, Ezren is a pretty cool looking warrior wizard who will just as soon smack you round the chops with his crooked staff than turn you into a toad.

Reaper Bone #16 - An Orc Patrol

Several years ago I listed all the miniatures needed to fill out the Level 1 Wandering Monster Chart as per Appendix C of the Dungeon Masters Guide.

This was a few years before Reaper Miniatures launched their Bones range of affordable miniatures and whilst these are not classic pig faced orcs (pictured below) they are a very cheap.

Reaper Bones #15 - The Road Warrior - Mad Max

This week we hit the big 50 and to celebrate I share with you another classic miniature:

Rex, Dark Future Hero (Tim Prow SKU:80009)

This guy has been called many things over the years; The Road Warrior, The Bronze, The Dark One, a raggedy man, Captain Walker, a scavenger and even a blood bag. Most of us just know him as Mad Max.

Armed with his trusty sawed-off double barrelled shotgun (and less trusty ammo) he cuts the perfect silhouette in the post apocalyptic wasteland. In the kickstarter he was packed with the Chronoscope miniatures, but let's face it, he's a genre all to himself!

Reaper Bones #14 - More Monsters

It's Monday Miniatures time again and here is the latest installment of the Reaper Bones Painting Marathon where we edge closer to 20% completion!

Ape-X, Super Villain (Jason Wiebe SKU:50031)

I'm fast becoming a fan of Jason Wiebe's sculpts and this steampunk cyborg homage to Gorilla Grodd is one of those odd but must have minis. As you can see my airbrush work is getting a bit better by this time. Shame we can't say the same for the photography.

Flesh Golem (James Van Schaik SKU:77169)

Another fantastic cross genre miniature which could easily double as Frankenstein's Monster or some other horrible experiment gone wrong in your Doctor Who, Victoriana or Steampunk game.

Oxidation Beast (Kevin Williams SKU:77032)

An homage to the bane of every paladin the classic Rust Monster. A surprisingly rare miniature to find at the time of this kickstarter so this went straight to the top of the pile despite its late entry on this list.

Stone Golem (James Van Schaik SKU:77171)

There's a pseudo Egyptian feel about this miniature (it's the skirt!!) and so I had to paint it in a bronzed gold colour rather than the defacto stone that it's name suggests. I half expect Indiana Jones to be facing up to this mechanical monstrosity in a future adventure.

Virina, Female Demon (Werner Klocke SKU:77067)

Another classic miniature with so many uses in so many genres.

I always struggle with painting red, either it doesn't cover properly or my highlights go all orangey. This one turned out pretty good but the disaster of a matte coat has made this an arms length type of paint job.

Reaper Bones #13: Giants - Male Storm Giant and Female Cloud Giant

Monday 20 April 2020

Reaper Bones #13 - Giants!!

Probably the two biggest minis in the Bones 1 Vampire level core set are the Giants.

Male Storm Giant (Julie Guthrie SKU: 77163)

Yephima, Female Cloud Giant (Patrick Keith SKU: 77162)

These are some of my earliest attempts at airbrush painting and my lack of talent at this stage shows. I struggled to get the right consistency of paint to avoid the dredded spiderwebbing. I was also using a single action airbrush which is great for undercoating but lousy for anything else. Seriously, if you are interested in airbrushing buy a double action brush.

For some reason the matte varnish coat that I apply to all my minis never really hardened properly giving it a bit of a gloss sheen and I will probably add another coat in the future to see if it fixes it.

Nothing but a repaint is going to fix those bloody eyes though!!

Monday 13 April 2020

Reaper Bones #12 - A Monstrous Menagerie

12 episodes in and we have only painted one big monster mini. Let's fix that with this monstrous menagerie.

In alphabetical order we have the:

Clay Golem (Ben Siens SKU: 77170)

Muscles upon muscles upon muscles, this is such a great multipurpose mini. Imagine your heroes surprise when the weakling they thought they were going head-to-head with transforms in to this Jekyl like man beast. I thought it was too good a sculpt to give it a terracotta warrior treatment.

Eye Beast (Julie Guthrie SKU:77043)

Reaper's homage to the quintessential Boss Monster that is the Beholder. A two part mini which came preassembled. Judicious use of miliputt was needed to hide the seam between the top and bottom sections of the head. The addition of eye stalk tentacles at the bottom are a great way of incorporating a flying base and the abandoned sword is a neat touch.

I've been a fan of Julie Guthrie's sculpts for years and loved this mini from the first moment I saw it.

Griffon (Jason Wiebe SKU:77156)

Probably one of the best Griffon sculpts on the market and an essential creature for your wandering monster collection.

Marsh Troll (Jason Wiebe SKU: 77152)

I love the addition of the spine plate reminiscent of some 1950s B Movie dinosaur.

Owlbear (Jason Wiebe SKU: 77156)

A bit of a contentious "more owl than bear" sculpt on this one and the one legged stance makes the mini droop towards the floor.

Reaper Bones #11 - Pirate Captain Thorin Stoneheart

I, like many around the world, am on lockdown thanks to the Coronavirus outbreak. This means that I have a lot of free time on my hands which I could use constructively but instead have chosen to catch up on my painting pile.

Barnabus Frost (Bobby Jackson SKU:77132)

My Barnabus Frost is known as Captain Thorin Stoneheart, a swashbuckler of advancing years who has given up the life of the ocean waves and settled down with his Dwarven wife Wilomena to run their Waterdeep tavern "The Rudderless Clipper". However, this is merely a cover for his real passion in life as by night Thorin roves the streets and back alleys of Waterdeep in search of the young waifs and strays exploited by the criminal elements. He and his wife give them bed, board and protection in exchange for their help running the tavern.

Thorin is also a member of the Company of the Corgi, a strange band of misfits who delve into the undermountain in search of fortune and glory. "So it is!"
