All good. By the time this actually launches I might even have some money...

Just imagine what fulfillment will be like, though! 2015 anyone?

Meet Drusilla Lepic, the Iron Empire's Sky Captain of the Jet Girls, an epic character who leads a squadron of human jet soldiers blazing through the skies at high velocity.
If there's an impossible mission calling for infiltration or surgical strike, you can depend on Drusilla and her cohorts being the ones for the job!

SURVEY
Once we get final approval from Kickstarter, we'll set up a countdown and launch the Toughest Girls of the Galaxy Kickstarter as soon as possible.
But what we're concerned about today is: what's the best day to end it on?

Pledges are not collected until the end of the KS, and so the date that you actually pledge does not matter as far as your bank account is concerned, but the date the KS ends does, because that's when Amazon collects all pledges.
And many of you have written to tell us that they were hoping that the end of our Kickstarter would come after they get their paycheck.

But we don't know when that is, as pay dates may well vary between different countries... So we've created a quick survey: What would be the best ending date for our Kickstarter?
You'll have a choice between Sunday June 30th, Monday July 1st, Wednesday July 3rd, Friday July 5th, Doesn't matter, or Other (please specify).

DROP SHIP PROGRAMME
Details here. Programme to date already includes 20 shops from Australia, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States.

I signed up to your news letter, voted in the poll and even appreciate the rocketgirl picture.

I'd still prefer the KS to actually start though...

Hey that's my job

Sad that we have to wait some more days, I wonder what Kickstarter wanted to have changed. Hopefully it was nothing big, so we soon can watch the video and start pledging. Skycaptain and the World of Tommorrow! I mean, of the Jetgirls was a real surprise but in a good way. The factions are really interesting and we still haven't seen everything yet. Well, I've seen one more and the awesomness won't stop, that's for sure. I am pressing my thumbs Kickstarter is working fast, even with the Memorial ahead.

Edit: Well I love the rockets, they're making her bulky, which I prefer, it is not in a bad way, since the design is very classy and aerodynamic.

Out of those dates, Sunday is probably the best day to end it. You'll want a day that the majority of people will be home on so they can be watching the end of the project and adjust their pledges accordingly to account for anything extra they might want.

This time I am fast enough. New informations about the armies, pledges and reasons for the changes Kickstarter wanted:

http://www.ragingheroes.com/blogs/news/7975573

To help you prepare for the launch of the Toughest Girls of the Galaxy (TGG) Kickstarter, we thought that you would like to have you some information about how the pledges and, consequently, about how the armies are going to be structured.

To provide you with maximum flexibility, we have divided the TGG minis in three different groups: Heroines, Troops, and Support (see details below). You will be able to pick and choose your preferred ones, provided that they have been unlocked...

HEROINES

You have already seen several of them in the images we have been sharing with you. They are high-ranking officers, or exceptional soldiers that will spice up your game as well as your painting cabinet.
There are now over 30 heroines planned, from all 3 factions: the Jailbird Division, the Kurganova Shock Troops, the Iron Empire.

And in case you're still wondering what got us started on the Toughest Girls of the Galaxy, check out the Kurganova sisters...

TROOPS

They form the backbone of the army.
There are two types: the Regular Troops and the Heavy Troops.

The Regular Troops come in 2 different boxes of 5 multi-part miniatures, a Troops Box and a Command Group (CG) box, for a total of 10 different miniatures.
All parts are swappable with ball-joint assembly, allowing for infinite customisation.
The Command Group box contains additional parts to transform 3 of the soldiers into one low-ranking officer and two heavy weapons specialists as needed.

The exact same setup applies to the Heavy Troops: 2 boxes of 5 different minis, all different, all with swappable parts, and with additional parts for the CG box.

SUPPORT

This category contains all the other types of specialized troops, like artillery, sniper units, motorcycles, mechas, ...

We know that you care about diversity in your army, so we are making sure that all the sculpts of all three armies are different from one another. There are no duplicates in any of the boxes.

In addition, aside from the snipers that have too complex posing, all troops and support will be multi-parts, and all parts will be swappable with a ball-joint assembly system allowing for infinite customisation.

Q&A

Here are a couple of questions we got on FB, with our answers:

One question or rather a couple of related questions. Will the troops have interchangeable heads or come with the head molded on? Same question for the heroes. If the heads are interchangeable, will you be offering head packs, that way I could have 2 of the same unit but one group with helmets one without, one withe some rambette heads, etc... I really like the iron girls because there is some crossover to use them in fantasy or steam punk games.
→ At the KS launch, the troops and characters will only have one head per sculpt. But as stretch goals are unlocked, we'll add UPGRADE PACKS to BOTH heroines and troops you'll have pledged for. Almost everything in the KS will be eligible for this type of upgrade!

When pledging how open will our choice of items be? For example, Mantic is currently running a Kickstarter that looks awesome, with each faction having a starter set with figures of similar size and equal number in the base starters. I would have backed heavily, but of the two factions I was interested in I had to bid several pledge levels to get the Rebel starter as a reward choice, while the other faction I liked was available as a choice for the lower pledge levels. It felt like I had to pay more to he minis that, I assume, will be of the same cost when they go to retail after the Kickstarter. For your KS, will things be of equal pledge value in the same groupings? If you had a pledge level where you got, say, an infantry squad, would the infantry squad from each faction be available at pledge level X, rather than., say you can have your choice of an infantry squad from one of two factions at dollar value X, but you can only get the infantry squad for the third faction with a pledge of dollar value Y?
→ Well, actually, we do favour as much flexibility as possible, so we are not going the Mantic route. In fact, the complete flexibility of our system is what made Kickstarter ask us to change it. So we've complied, but we were able to maintain a LOT of the initial flexibility in the system.

30 heroes? This one is going to be very spendy.

Think of it as a long-term investment. You put in the money now and over the next 2-4 years Raging Heroes sends you the profits in miniature form.

I'm glad I pulled out of Warzone and Deadzone. I'm skeptical about that number of heroines versus the potential number of boxes. I hope the poses are swapable enough not to have multiples of "troopette A" and so on. I know balls-joints and all, but seriously, how many ways can they hold rifles and look suitably different?

I admit though, on a table, from a distance, it matters little, I know.

Now if only there was a fun SoB codex to play...

Well, there's gonna be plenty of them.

AT LEAST 16.66% to 40% DISCOUNTS BEFORE STRETCH GOALS

Really, Raging Heroes? It took you three months, and then you still didn't answer the question? Is it really so hard to say "Even before stretch goals, you can get X models for $Y"?

Well new pic and still no KS. Though will have to see how finances work out for and if I can still do this one. Car bit the dust two weeks ago and have to deal with car payments again. Sigh...

Right or wrong, the longer the delays on this one, the less enthusiastic I become, and the more of my available gaming budget gets spent elsewhere.

Additionally, my confidence in their ability to come anywhere close to whatever delivery date they pick gets lower as well.

Unless the miniatures are mindblowingly awesome (and they probably will be!) AND the Kickstarter exclusives/deals/stretch goals/etc. are too - well, I'm leaning more towards buying them when they hit retail.

But maybe I'm wrong!

Maybe all the delays are due to the fact that RH is ironing all all the details, hurdles and potential issues now, and getting concept art and preview sculpts done up front, so they can Show and not Tell us during the KS?

In that case - all is forgivem, I'm sorry, and... I'm in!

Maybe they should have just stuck with a less ambitious KS to begin with that they could have actually started in Feb.
(Like say, just the character models that would form the "necromunda-esque" warbands everyone thought was coming originally anyway)

And then followed it up with all these grand planned armies/etc in a separate KS later this year.
