I don't know if you guys have checked out their newest kickstarter campaign, but Saturday the 2nd is the last day to get in on this! A pledge of $100 gets you the core set and there are a TON of minis in it! Really good deal! You can also pledge over that for the amount given for other models that you'll want to add to your core set. I'm at $190 right now. Some super-cool stuff in there! Check it out before it's too late!

Is this an "Other than 8th" topic?
You able to provide a link to this?

Well, I plan to use these models in my armies, so it is an 8th topic to me.
I tried appling a link for it, but it was linking my personal account information as well. So....
Pretty easy to find it though. Just google Kickstarter and then search for Reaper Bones 4.
*Edit* - I figured it out. Here's the link:

I bought in to the Bones II kickstarter back in the day to nab some cool proxies for my games of 8th... fast forward many years later: they are still boxed, unopened and waiting to be painted. so a tempting idea but realistically speaking between several 8th edition armies, dropzone commander and deadzone It's not looking feasible...  |

I'm totally going to use that big-a__ dragon for my Sisters of Twilight Forest Dragon! I'm stoked! I can use a ton of that stuff! I'll also be using one Wyvern as a mount for an Orc Great Shaman and the other for a Black Orc Warboss! The Dragon Turtle will be an alternate Carnosaur for my Lizardmen, and Spartan Statues will make perfect "guardians" for the Sorceress Portal that I've been planning! Awesomesause!

I have some bones minis. One was very good (ice worm) one was pretty second rate (troll) sculpt wise.
The ice worm smaller pieces were too soft and almost unpaintable. Need to give them a car primer coat.

Which addons did you get? There are some great looking monsters there. I've never done a Kickstarter before and have piles of unpainted minis but..... monsters  |

Well, I think that I might've screwed up my order a tad. I forgot to pledge the added tax. Oops. It only comes to around $10, but I might have to drop something if they don't allow me to add that amount. We'll see.
Anyway, this is what I was planning on ordering:
Core Set (of course)
Dragon Turtle
Living Spartan Statues
Baba Yagas Hut (Depending on the model, I might just cut the chicken legs off the house and use the house as terrain. Cheap house!)
Black Sting Wyvern
Black Tooth Terror (Dread Saurian for my Lizardmen)
Darkreach Expansion (I really like the models in this one. Looks like there could be some great terrain pieces in it with their own special rules (like if you stop within 6" of the Stone Lurker, at the end of your turn, you take D6 S4 hits.) as well as some great pieces that I can make a "Fungus Forest" with. Not to mention more Dark Elves. The Cave Spider can probably work with my Goblins, the Troglodytes can probably proxy as Kroxigor, and I've been thinking about using the DE Queen on Spider Throne as part of an Altar for the Witch Elves to push into combat. I've always liked the idea of Gnomes "herding" summoned Earth Elementals into battle for Dwarfs the way Skinks "herd" Salamanders or Razordons for Lizardmen. I think that could be a fun, new element and way to play for Dwarfs. Over all, I really like that set. There are a few pieces that I don't know how I'd use, like the Gloom Stalker, Burrowing Behemoth or the Rockmaw, but who knows. At least I'll have things to play with! Lol!)
Did you get any?

Just chiming in - I love the Bones product. TRIPLE LOVE. **You should follow their directions for prepping the material and then priming it. Otherwise, you get soft pieces of a glossy shine, or other oddities. Educate yerself here: forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/48667-bones-frequently-asked-questions-unofficial/I don't do the Kickstarters - I like the actual act of buying of 1'sie 2sie Bones Blisters at my FLGS. Nothing takes me back 15 years like sorting through racks and racks of blister packs. Time consuming, but who cares. |

I'm in for around $180 on Bones 4. I didn't buy the core set but grabbed $59 worth of items from it. I got every single model I wanted for 59. Then I added some other stuff.

Yeah, there were things I probably could've done without from the core set, but not much. The demons mostly. But I'm sure that I can come up with a use for most of it. I'll know much better after it's in my hand. Will still be a while yet.

Got only about 60$ of stuff this time. I participated in Bones 2 and 3 for more (missed the first one), and while there was a lot a cool models this time too, they were less useful for my armies which is why I usually get them, with the exception for the unpractically large model they release near the end, which are too cool to miss. Only this time it was "just a bigger dragon" in a normal, static pose, a bit underwhelming.
I think I'm getting too much dragon though, already have 3 from previous Bones, and got the Zombie and Bone Dragon this time! Also got the Fantasy scenery kit. Pretty much the only thing I got, was tempted to get the Baba Yaga hut to cut the leg and use as scenery, but swapped it for the Scenery pack when it came out. Also very tempted to get the Treeman later, I don't play Wood Elves or anything but it's very rare for me to find a Treeman to my liking, and this one looks awesome! But it increased my shipping cost by about $10 so I left him out for now.
