Here we see 4 elven heroes approaching an adventure's complement of monsters. This batch of miniatures represents a bite into the last ~100 miniatures I plan to paint from the Reaper Miniatures' Bones 1 Kickstarter, which started soliciting pledges back in July 2012.
My color theme with this batch is "blue", so I imagined these as blue-oriented characters. Please imagine a rocky, mountainous setting...
Bones 1 "Elves" woman with staff, based on "Autumn Bronzeleaf" by Jeff Grace (SKU 77069).
Bones 1 "Klocke Classics" woman with sword & staff, based on "Lysette, Elven Mage" by Bobby Jackson (SKU 30001).
Bones 1 "30 New Bones" Elf sword to sky, based on "Turanil, Male Elf Paladin" by Bobby Jackson (SKU 77044).
Bones 1 "Elves" (Probably? In the Kickstarter, they only had concept drawings, and the sculpt changed a bit) man 2 swords, based on "Elladan, Elf Ranger" by Werner Klocke (SKU 77071).
First, they pay their respects to the deceased this fine sarcophagus. I tried to make this crypt look like some kind of expensive blue granite. It's part of Bones 1 "Dungeon Dressing", based on "Sarcophagus" by Bob Ridolfi (SKU 77137).
They encounter these Bones 1 "Dungeon Attack" kobolds, based on the "Bloodscale Kobolds" by Ben Siens (SKU 77010).
Slightly more challenging are the 3 gray hobgoblins, like in the Pathfinder 1e Bestiary; gray also seems to go with the blue color theme. These are Bones 1 "Dungeon Attack" goblins, based on the "Goblins" by Ben Siens (SKU 30096)
Finally, they must deal with these Bones 1 Storm Giants, based on "Male Storm Giant" by Julie Guthrie (SKU 77163) and "Yephima, Female Cloud Giant" by Patrick Keith (SKU 77162). I decided to paint these Storm Giants blue, like the sky, with blue storm cloud clothing, etc.
These encounters may seem vastly out of proportion, until you realize that blue is the color of the United States Postal Service, and our heroes are delivering the mail. Go Postal Unions!
