Reaper Miniatures has released the first of their line of unpainted plastic miniatures known as Bones. The idea is to have the same Reaper detail that people are used to but at a much lower price point. So far, individual miniatures are priced at between $1.99 and $2.99, while small sets are priced at between $3.49 and $5.49. The ones currently available are all casts of existing Reaper metal miniatures, so I think this may be a good way for cash strapped gamers to start, or add to their collections. I imagine that I will stick with metal minis for the most part, but I think that this is a good idea and wish Reaper great success in this new endeavor.
From the smoking ruins of The Silent Sorcerer's tower, Skullsword sends forth nonsensical artwork and useless gaming tools. He also likes to discuss RPGs, boardgames, miniatures painting, writing, movies, books, and whatever else strikes his fancy. Mostly though, his goal is to provide fun and goofy things to inspire others in their games. Enjoy!
