I’ve thrown in a couple of extra shots to give more of a perspective. I’m pretty impressed with the BB version to be honest. Straight up I can see the facial features on the metal version are sharper and the Reaper Bones Black version has a little bit of moulding round the hands but (and this is a big but) the BB version is around half the price of the metal. whilst the guy on the right is the DHL Metal 03889. Now the guy on the left is the Bones Black 44018 Drumfasser. What do you think? Reaper Bones Black Drumfasser (Left) v DHL Drumfasser (Right) So, I’ve primed both minis in a grey to do a side-by-side comparison of the Bones mini next to the DHL metal. I’ve never had an issue priming bones and don’t mind using Halford’s own prime which is relatively cheap. Reaper states that the Reaper Bones minis require no priming, and while that’s true I like to give my minis a prime. I thought it would only be fair to give them both a bit of a prime. I think with the shining silver it was throwing the camera off and blurring the Reaper Bones Black version. Reaper Bones Black v MetalĮven the camera preferred the metal version for sharpness. Reaper Bones Black v Dark Heaven Legends MetalĪlthough its tricky to see with this shot and through the bubbles I think its fair to say that the metal version is a touch sharper than the Bones with a little more of the detail being present around the face and the characters satchel/bag. First off, the BB packaging is much more eye catching in my humble opinion. For this I thought I’d take a shufty at 44018 : Sheriff Drumfasser (Bones Black) and 03889 : Dreadmere – Sheriff Getmose Drumfasser DHL.įirst off lets have a look at the Bones Black version of Drumfasser next door to the Dark Heaven Legends metal version. This give little old Miniature Gamer the opportunity to do a side-by-side comparison of a Reaper Bones Black miniature next to its metal equivalent. With Bones 4 Kickstarter out of the way, the Bones Black lines are starting to come out in retail packaging. Yeah, I have rambled a little bit here but I thought it would be worth explaining what Bones Black is before going off into comparing Bones Black with one of Reaper’s metal lines, Dark Heaven Legends. I thought this was a comparison between Reaper Bones Black and Metal? Basically you can get painting straight off without priming or glueing. As said before they’re cheap, but they are also lightweight, don’t require to be primed, have little flash lines as they are moulded in high quality steel moulds and often come with an integral base so are in a single piece. You don’t want a Giant Frog with broken toes so treat them with a tiny bit more care.įrom a similarity perspective, both Bones Black and White have many great qualities. No more Skeletal Spearmen with wonky weapons! That being said, drop a Bones White mini it won’t break, drop a Bones Black and their is a chance (small but a chance) you could snap a bit of it off. This helps with thin parts such as weapons, where at times you may have a out of line parts which needs a bit of a help getting straightened out. The other main difference is that the material of the Bones Black is that it is much more rigid than the Bones White material. One of the criticisms of Reaper Bones is that the white Bones material can be sometimes hard to distinguish the detail without priming them (probably black or grey!). The Bones Black line as its name suggests comes in a darker shade (not really black but more of a dark grey). They are a great value line of miniatures made from plastic but with a few differences. I guess in essence, Reaper Bones Black is a continuation of the great work that Reaper did with the original Bones line. Reaper Bones Black from Reaper Miniatures So what is Reaper Bones Black?
