Q2 large group, confirmed, "It was there a minute ago." oop minis

[prime valve]

Given all the minis that have recently disappeared from reaper's inventory, would anyone be interested in painting some of them? Any once produced mini that fails to be found when searched for on the website during Q2 would be eligible: some reapercon exclusives, the 25th anniversary metals, Christmas and Halloween exclusives not available the rest of the year, charity minis long oop, recently discontinued warlord and other metals, the brief lived pre-bones lead Renaissance, that metal verocithrax you've had for 20 years...lots of possibilities. Most would be metals save the 12 days of Christmas from '22, and just scout's honor you're not painting the bones version of something no longer available in metal.
One caveat: anyone choosing the colossal metal spider automatically becomes the poster of all the pics at the end of the quarter. I just can't deal with that one.

[potent trellis]

I would for sure. I got a number of these

[dull musk]

I might be

[velvet badge]

I’m in!
I’ve got at least two of the 25th anniversary metals and this finally gives me a reason to get after one of them.

[velvet badge]

Wentvthrough my inventory last night. From the 25th anniversary minis I have three. Dain Deepaxe, Lysette and the female cleric whose name currently escapes my addled brain. Any preferences?

[prime valve]

None at all. Choose whichever you like. I have two metal dragons and the whole legion of caeke at my disposal to choose from.

Sounds like maybe we're doing this.

[velvet badge]

Well knowing me…. Since there’s a long weekend this week, I’ll probably end up painting all three and then try to pick which one looks best.

[prime valve]

Um, Q2 group idea, you don't need to paint til April.

[potent trellis]

well if we go ahead with this ill be doing treasure of blood reef

[prime valve]

I say we're a go, three people have replied, so that makes a potential foursome. And it's only Feb, closer to q2 maybe we'll snag some more.

[prime valve]

Welcome!

[tender inlet]

I’m game. Ill do a holiday one that I need to determine when I get home lol

[prime valve]

Welcome! Take your time, don't need a definite mini til April or so.

[obsidian scroll]

Hi! Can I join with 01528, 2014 Reaper Hall of Fame Mini? If it has a character name outside of that I can't find it. He's a necromancer.

[prime valve]

Certainly! Just checked the site and that sku is nowhere to be found. Welcome aboard!

[fathom root]

Hello, can I join with this guy?

[prime valve]

Certainly! Welcome aboard.

[dull musk]

I got a monk wiht a 3-section staff (old metal) that i don't see on the site

[prime valve]

Sounds cool. If you’re pretty sure it's reaper, welcome to the group. There are some people that are pretty good at identifying old minis on this discord, you might get a name if you post some pics in the general or hobby chats.

[dull musk]

OH I know it's reaper. It was with one of the old propaint Learn to Paint Kits

[prime valve]

Sorry, didn't mean to doubt you. Still might be worth posting to see if anyone recognizes them.

I'll add you to the list

[dull musk]

I think i got the name on the LTPK directions somewhere...i'll find it soon enoguh

[prime valve]

Well, we won't be posting the group til June, so there's lots of time.

[dull musk]

I believe the figure is 02512, Tsuko

[prime valve]

Got it.

[cedar jackal]

May I join with "Yvonne, Warmaiden" 02573. Just found out she vanished from the site!

[prime valve]

Certainly! Welcome to the grouo.

[cedar jackal]

Thanks!

[drowsy storm]

Hmmmm… I’ll go poke around the storage containers. I think I have some old P-65 Heavy Metal minis lying around

[prime valve]

We'd be glad to have you. I was considering the p-65 dragon turtle, but if you'd like it I have plenty of other options.

[drowsy storm]

Nope, I don’t have that one so no worries!

[foggy arch]

would the 25th anniversary ones count? i have 3 of those unpainted - lysette, Eli quicknight and dain deepaxe

[prime valve]

Yes indeed. @velvet badge hasn't confirmed which 25th anniversary they want to do, (you have some overlap options), so first come first choice.

[foggy arch]

I'll do Lysette :)

[prime valve]

Added to the list post. I'd pin it, but can't figure out how.

[pearl warren]

I got a box of the reaper were-wolf faction. Give me a bit. Imma jump in

[humble onyx]

if anyone needs inspiration, reminder the Numnera line has vanished

[prime valve]

And we'd be happy to have both of you, @humble onyx , @pearl warren .

[humble onyx]

I signed up for a group already, but if not I definitely would!

[ancient condor]

I’d love to join with this Krampus! I can’t find this specific one on the site

[drowsy storm]

Sign me up! 2008 cast of the P65 Heavy Metal version of Ansel, Paladin (currently dark heaven legends 02916)

[pearl warren]

he’s now on the list!

I want that model

[pearl warren]

The old metal was reissued as bones

[drowsy storm]

I have his counterpart too (or at least I think of them as connected)

Both squat and beefy

I posted the bottom as proof that it’s the old one because I’m probably about to grind off most of the base. It’s wide as hell and won’t fit on most standard bases. Lol

Bones 1 gnoll vibes

[pearl warren]

They are so freaking cool

I hope we see a bonesusa of them

[prime valve]

That's the lovely thing about doing this theme in quarter 2. All the Christmas/winter holiday minis disappear from the site's search engine in January, not to be seen til next December. So for now they meet the criteria.

[prime valve]

Gotcha! Welcome aboard. Be careful grinding the lead.

[pearl warren]

Fair nuff

Maybe i can do a Christmas model

[tender inlet]

I'll do Uther the Christmas Knight

[prime valve]

Gotcha down. I even know the sku of that one.

[lyric fractal]

How about Barb, the Zombie Cheerleader, #01565?

[prime valve]

She comes up as an error in searching, so she certainly fits. I'll add you to the list. Welcome aboard!

@velvet badge are you still in, and have you chosen which mini you want to do? Reverie snapped up the 25th anniversary Lysette, but your other two are still fair game. There's still time, of course, but if someone else comes in certain of a mini, they might take away some of your options.

[velvet badge]

Ok if that’s the case I’ll use Diva the Blessed.

[lyric fractal]

Donkey shine! 😁

[prime valve]

Okay, got you down.

[velvet badge]

All set. Here ya go.

[prime valve]

Wow! Fast and wonderful.

[lyric fractal]

Ping!

[prime valve]

So, we're one month in. How's everyone doing? Two of you are done, meanwhile I'm at only primed and "why did I choose a dragon?"

[drowsy storm]

done, just haven't done the photo yet

[potent trellis]

One of the two minis in mine is almost done. The other primed

[lyric fractal]

Because dragons are da bomb!

[ancient sapphire]

Mine's also done. I just haven't taken a picture.

[ancient sapphire]

Aaaaand now I've taken a picture!

[foggy arch]

You guys are speedy

[mossy heath]

I have some Christmas dragons. Ok If I paint the one wrapping a present?

[prime valve]

Yes! None of the Christmas dragons have been spoken for. Welcome to the group!

[lyric fractal]

I'll work on Barb probably this weekend, or early neaxt week. Life is intruding on my hobby...

[pearl warren]

Reaper pulled the unforgiven pack

So imma paint another full unit

140103

[prime valve]

Sorry the minis disappeared, but happy to have you on board. Added you to the list. Welcome!

[pearl warren]

Originally i had planned on doing a werewolf but then my local game club had a fledgling opr group.. soooo warlord!

And crusaders are my homies

As such I figured, templars!

For those wondering kingdom of angels

[mossy heath]

What is an OPR group?

[pearl warren]

One page rules a mini agnostic game system

I’ll be trying on opr:fantasy

[pearl warren]

So you need me to paint all 9 or 1 of the unit?

2 variants are no longer available but one is

[prime valve]

You only need to paint one that isn't available.

[pearl warren]

Oh, neat. Imma try and paint the full squad.do i need to do it by eom?

[prime valve]

Quarter ends June 30th, probably 6pm reaper time if like usual. I was hoping we might all be done by June 28th so I could submit by the 29th.

[pearl warren]

Oh, neat. I have all of next month to finish the unit

[ancient condor]

Can do!

[foggy arch]

Sounds good 👍

[lyric fractal]

Pro noblem

[lyric fractal]

Behold - Barb, the chibi zombie cheerleader!

[mossy heath]

Dragon wrapping a gift.

[fathom root]

Strach, Overlord Hero

[lyric fractal]

Poke!

[potent trellis]

Here is mine treasure of blood reef

[lyric fractal]

Beans!

[potent trellis]

Thanks!

[prime valve]

Would anyone mind particularly if I switched minis to someone from the legion of caeke? It's been a rough quarter and neither dragon option I chose has any paint on it with 17 days to go.

[ancient condor]

My submission!

[ancient condor]

No issues here!

[pearl warren]

Gonna have to drop out. My kids school is creating a situation

[potent trellis]

No worries here

[prime valve]

Kids definitely come first.
I was considering finally trying to run the Monty Python theme group for q3. Crusaders or knights would work for that.

[pearl warren]

Hmu then 🙂

[lyric fractal]

You do you boo

[lyric fractal]

"RUN AWAY!"

[tender inlet]

Sir uther 🙂 done

[lyric fractal]

I have lots of issues. But I don't mind @prime valve changing minis.

[obsidian scroll]

Sadly mine is only half finished and surprise visit from in-laws means I might not have time to get it done. Don't wait for me if you're otherwise ready to submit!

[dull musk]

I'm pulling up the rear in this group, as is my usual way 🙃

Tsuko should be done by Wed though

[prime valve]

I still need to do a lot. We have a few days.

[foggy arch]

Done just need to take a picture

[prime valve]

@foggy arch , @dull musk ,
@obsidian scroll , I'll wait til around midnight tonight for pics, then I'm submitting.

Mine, for what it's worth.

[dull musk]

I'm still working on mine. Given the figure and old paint guide (where things don't quite match anymore) was a nice comedy of errors for me

[obsidian scroll]

@prime valve sadly mine won't be ready. Life's perfect storm conspired 😦 This group has so many amazing minis! Congrats to all!

[prime valve]

It's okay. Life happens. Thank you for being willing to join.

[dull musk]

Midnight eastern or reaper?

[prime valve]

Reaper

Imma nap a few hours.

[dull musk]

These pants will be the end of me.
Red. Brown. Red. Pink. Orange. Red again... I really need to learn to handle reds better

[dull musk]

Proof of work pic: feel free to yell at me to get the final one if it's getting close

[prime valve]

Okay, posted. Everyone double check I got your mini in. I had to count twice and almost forgot Strach. It's been a pleasure.
Anyone wanting to paint something really odd is welcome to join my q3 group "No one expects something completely different- the Monty Python group."
Meanwhile I'll just keep asking myself why I'm doing this again.

[cedar jackal]

Thanks for gathering the group and posting us, @prime valve !

[foggy arch]

Thanks for organizing! :)

[ancient sapphire]

Thanks!

[ancient condor]

Thanks so much!!

[tender inlet]

Thanks everyone!

[lyric fractal]

This was so much fun! On to Python!

[mossy heath]

Great job everyone!

[pearl warren]

I didn’t get to throw my crusaders in . Didn’t get any time to do em. 😦

Been a rough year

[prime valve]

They'll fit in the Monty Python group if you get them done this quarter. 3 months is a long time. It could happen.

[pearl warren]

How so?

[prime valve]

The crusaders are knights, I rather thought they'd work for any of the knights in holy grail. Those guys are on a holy quest, which a crusade is.

[pearl warren]

Lol. In warlord they are on an orc genocide quest

[prime valve]

Maybe the orcs are hiding the holy grail. They could be in league with the French.

[pearl warren]

French orcs?!?!
