The color wheel rolls on, and this batch's color is yellow. Except for the last (extra special guest) mini in the batch, these miniatures are all rewards for backing the Reaper Bones 4 Kickstarter.
We start with some commoners in yellow: Nemesra the belly dancer, a cooper toting a barrel, and an agitated lady brandishing a torch and a rolling pin. We can easily imagine these disparate characters as part of a caravan, traveling from town to town; offering services, trade goods, and novelties.
This caravan is guarded by an adventurer-type character: a golden dragon man. And it's a good thing, too, because...
Here comes a tribe of yellow-garbed goblins. This tribe has some extra goblins: an armored goblin and a goblin hero.
Maybe those goblins are not so much attacking as they are fleeing our extra-special guest miniature: Reaper's faceless horror! From what I can tell, this monster is basically a blob with many toothy mouths and eyes, like a large gibbering mouther. I purchased this to entice my wife into painting miniatures with me; my wife likes horror, and with a giant blob you don't really need to worry that it 'looks wrong,' so I figured it might be an interesting low-stress mini to start with. But she soon tired of it, and she let me paint it. To be fair, there are a lot of tedious areas on this model (is this the inside, or the outside? Where do these mouths end?), and THEN I noticed all those EYES...
Hidden inside the faceless horror, there is a skeleton; presumably the remains of someone eaten by this monster.
