Reaper to produce pre-painted Plastic minis - Non-random

[Thunderfoot]

I mean, seriously, do they want to sell every GM $50 worth of orcs and skeletons, or try to get people hooked on their game and field $1000 armies? I'm sure they'll take the former, but the latter probably makes up their steady business.

I don't know TJ, Reaper has always been very savvy when it comes to the buisness end of things. Yeah the Warlords game will be their "focus" but you can bet nearly anything that they are hoping to ring in the sales with non DDM D&D RPGrs. (Dear God thats a mouthful and all I did was type it.).

I just clicked on the link and the prices are rather reasonable for pre-painted, plastic generic enemy's for a game.

I just wish they had pictures of what they looked like. I'm a so-so painter, but I really cannot get as detailed as some of the Warhammer people who have been doing it for years. If this goes gangbusters, then I would like to see them produce some pre-painted plastic hero mini's based on race. Like Elf Fighter (archer), Fighter (swordsman), Wizard as a three pack and another 3 pack of whatever class they might like to make.

I'm thinking of getting some cheap Mage Knight Dungeon's Heroes mini's to represent the characters I'm making, and just popping them off the clix base. I just need to strip the paint off and repaint them and that's what's going to take time.

There's some like the Warforged Artificer/Cleric I'm making that are DDM specific, but that's okay.

Just my 1/4 pound.

Hi Mr. Beef, shameless ebay plug here, but I do have the Painter's Edition Mageknight boosters in my ebay store:

$2.99 each booster. They come unpainted and not attached to the bases, but they are random.

Thanks,
Rich

Rich,

Thanks for the link. I had totally forgotten about that set.

I might get some from you, but I just have to get over the fact that they are random, and find something to mount them on. I also have to see how much I'll have at the end of the month so I know how much I'll be able to spend.

Thanks again.

Mr. Beef,

In the mean time I'll double check to see if I have any singles, but I kinda doubt it. Best bet for bases is the 25mm solid (non-slotted) plastic base that GW sells. I don't think you can get them at your local GW or FLGS, but they are available through their bits catalog.

Thanks,
Rich

Threadjack: My favorite all-time chain of acronyms:

IBM OS/2 EE API SDK for PowerPC Systems =
International Business Machines Operating System 2 Extended Editionn Application Programming Interface Software Development Kit for Performance Optimazation with Enhanced Reduced Instruction Set Computing Personal Computer Systems

When I saw it, I just had to stop and gaze in awe. Not only is inordinately long, it also manages to include nested acronyms.

Additionally, note that they are a new line, not included in the Warlord line.

The reason a lot of people on the Reaper message boards are excited for this for Warlord is that a lot of people there play Warlord...

At the risk of sounding incredibly stupid, what is Warlord?

Warlord is the skirmish game produced by Reaper. Their Warlord line of miniatures is used for the game.

How popular is Warlord?

Cheers!
