Yay!

Although not very keen on the Chibi set. Does anyone actually like Chibi figures?

Yeah those are cool, I have no need for them but they do look fun.

I really want the shadows of sullenhall and the Briarwood Vale expansions, the core set looks really good but I don't really need it.

So I guess I'm in for at least $225 USD…..hmm, that got to a big number really quick….

The 3D sculpted minis don't impress me. I guess I'm not a fan of that style…

I'm hoping that the Dungeon and Lost Tombs expansions are a bit more exciting as I just don't need more adventurers and tables and chairs so the tavern scene is slightly….urghhhhh…unexciting (for me !!!).

I'm sure it'll be really good in a week or so… (fingers crossed evil grin)

I backed the BonesV, and liked it a lot, but the Bones6 doesnt look that interesting.

The core set- not interested in Gnomes. The ant infestation, one queen and 5 ants? maybe 20 ants would be ok, cheap easy cast. the town guard- not that impressive for guard men. the Zombies-- Ok I have a 3d printer, and Zombie stls are very prolific, as are all undead, most easy stl to find for free.

Now I like the bones- more durable then resin prints, and buying stl for miniatures you only need one of is kind of meaningless, but stls for things you want many duplicates of is where they are useful. for one shot minis- bones or metal are hands down better.

The Green Griffin expansion- mostly interior parts to a inn. for the 50 bucks your 1/4 of the way to a Ender3 and you can print your own, plus you can then 3d print your tavern dungeon tiles, all off of thingiverse for free.

All of the Chibi heros? dont know what they are for! I just dont get them as being used for anything in dnd. maybe if you have 5 year old kids, but not for people wanting dnd miniatures. Now Bones5 had some wonderful miniatures, lots of really nice dragons, a full set of kolbalds, a nice selection of Player Character type miniatures, most of the Core set, very useable by most people.

Anyways, with what they presented so far, ( and maybe they will be adding more expansions that are useful) this set isnt as impressive as the Bones 5.

Yeah, I think it's time for them to unveil what the next 2 expansions are….or at least show a major dragon or two……

Link?

I agree that CG figs are not usually as good as hand sculpted ones. Mostly because they adopt a more true scale, which is a PITA to paint. Near nonexistent facial features are the worst. And it's not art, it's programming.

Well, it's been a bit underwhelming this time – even Bones 5 managed half a dozen expansions by the end. I'm doubting that even the big dragon will get unlocked by the end of the campaign at the weekend.

Maybe saying what else was in the Dungeon Denizens and the Lost Tombs expansions would help.

"And it's not art, it's programming."

Pretty much the reason I'm passing on this one, the minis resemble "blobs with detail" to me. The minis in the first 3 KS were impressive, being from the metal ranges. I still need to paint mine… ;-)

In the end I was won over – I maybe won't be getting the Core Set after all (although there was some very nice stuff in it by the end) but I'm looking forward to the Big Dragon and The Lighthouse amongst the other bits!

It would have been nice to have had some of the big "wow" items sooner to get the whole thing off to a really good start.
