Speaking of half-naked women, there were some minor concerns about the female Frost giant figure and how scantily clad she was relative to a more realistic approach. She looks almost anime to me. Since the figure may still be in the development phase, perhaps a survey would reveal to Reaper a different, preferred approach. Then again, maybe no consensus will be revealed. To see and take the survey, go here:

I didn't much care for the giant sculpts and I was glad they were left as buy in options. They all seemed to have ridiculous anime style swords. I'm also not sure what scale they were using for the giants (they all seemed to be about the same size). What I plan to do is to do the swap for the sophie motorcycle wench and go for several of the driders.

Is it stated if you can swap out, as I'm not that fussed about the Chronoscope and IMEF figures, though at the price I'm getting it all, I'm not too concerned

The Sophie figure you can swap out for $25.00 credit to be used towards other stuff. That's been stated. Other swaps have not been stated so I doubt that'll be the case.

That's no problem, it's a hell of a lot of minis anyway.. Tbh, I might be able to use some of them for the Battle Cars gaming I play with my boy

Although I'm torn between 20 Orcs and the Hydra + Drider options for the extra $25

Hope I did this right... I wanted two of the additions at Vampire ( Demons and Hydra) for a total of $30... so I pledged at Vampire for $130.00... but how do I tell them what I want??

You will tell them on an order form...to be filled out after the Kickstarter is over.

My main complaint about this miniature is how hard it is to assemble and paint. Both of the storm giant miniatures are bent over...for some reason. How about storm giants that stand up and impress us with their height?

You can also add to your purchase after the kickstarter is over.

I sent them an email that basically said: "Why won't you give a freakin' straight answer to this simple question?"

They were not talking about adding to your pledge after the kickstarter because they didn't want people to wait and thus keep the pledge amount lower.

Alright... I'm on board...

Time to Roll the Bones...

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

Yeah, I was just talking about the Sophie swap. I could see that figure in a Shadowrun game (which I don't play) but I don't want one for my games and $25 worth of other minis swapped for Sophie is a great deal (to me). I figure 3 sets of Driders (I think they are a $7 option) and something for $4.

EDIT: Must have misread that. Looks like the Driders were only a buy in option (at $10 a set) not sure if you can get them for a Sophie swap.
