Editing Reaper Miniatures (section)

== The Miniatures ==
Reaper produces primarily fantasy miniatures in their Dark Heaven Legends line, while they produce their own wargame called Warlord; the miniatures in that line are also suitable for other fantasy games. Chronoscope is their line for general modern, weird, and speculative fiction miniatures. They also have the official license for [[Pathfinder]], [[Savage Worlds]], and [[Numenera]] miniatures.

In response to [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s [[Dungeons & Dragons]] Miniatures Game, Reaper produced the Legendary Encounters line of prepainted plastic miniatures in clear blister packs instead of the blind-packed boxes of D&DMG. After the success of Bones, Legendary Encounters appears to be discontinued as well as the P65 Heavy Metal experiment of cheaper lead casts of their regular DHL line. Not to be discouraged, they got themselves into a deal with [[Paizo|Paizo Publishing]] to publish figures specifically for [[Pathfinder]], which has been running strong ever since.

Bones is Reaper's line of polymer plastic miniatures (the material is nicknamed "Bonesium" by the community and is just as resilient as the D&D minis are). Bonesium holds paint very well and so the models don't need to be primed before painting, though you may want to undercoat anyway since the material is bright white (with the exception of creatures like elementals, ghosts, and slimes, which are translucent). It has had five '''very''' successful Kickstarter campaigns to start and further expand the line, and consists mostly of models from their other lines in the new material, although there are Bones-exclusive models (typically large models that would be a nightmare to manage in pewter). The downside is that Bonesium isn't as rigid as pewter, so characters with weapons tend to find them a bit flaccid when they come out of the pack.
