I know this company really polarizes people good and bad, but..I like them.
And they are releasing NEW non KS miniatures now!!!
So, eh..Here's a thread showing off the new stuff to discuss and what not.
First up is the Holy Blades. Hot chicks in field plate..usable in DND and AOS. Apparently they are all sold individually as well if you just want to get one.
Raging Heroes make some great minis. Well, except when you try to clean them and glue them. But the sculpts are nice and their style is ...deliciously(.gif)... over the top. I'm glad they aren't too cheesecakey.
I like those minis a lot. Probably won't like their prices, though. I'll wait a year and see what the online discount ers can sell them for.
Hmm, I like the old Jailbirds and have some. These, I don't know. I think they put too much of their newer (TGG 2) sculpts into them. Too overdone, even for Raging Heroes.
Edit: New models without Kickstarter is nice, though.

Meh. Way too little skin. How is that much armor going to offer any protection?

They offer some pretty good sales when the minis come out...maybe slightly higher than GW prices..which for a boutique caster is a hell of a deal.
Yup, their heads are sure greater than their torsos. Was the sculptor blind or that unfamiliar with human anatomy? It's specially baffling seeing Taipan mini linked below has much more sensible proportions (at least in human form, snake one looks wonky too) and is far better looking design thanks to that.
And it's not just anatomy, the magazines in the pistols (?) the SF version has is one of the most comically wrong gun parts I have ever seen in a model, right up there with Forge World upside-down bolters. Not just shape, they look like 'heroic' GW scale part attached to more sensibly scaled handgun. I especially like how ejection port looks quater size of actual bullet and is placed way too far to the rear...

Well, the anatomy/proportions are insane. Looks like skeleton warriors might fit in the armour, and the heads are big as helmets in comparison.
But models this small will need to have weird proportions to make sense on the gameboard. Heroic scale looks way more interesting than true scale.
Just look at infinity -they have lots of cool realistic models, and its uterly boring and wasted unless you have them pro-painted and displayed up on a painting forum (and even then, you get bored after a dozen models).
Its a fact in most depicting art -you dont paint/sculpt it as it is, you need paint/sculpt it to trick the eye in seeing what it is.
For these models, anyone that see them on the gaming board or on a painting forum, would instantly recognise their function and general concept.

Yeah, Raging heroes stuff is not any worse proportioned than GW stuff...which is particularly painful. Especially Guardsman
I mean..that las-gun is effectively 6 feet long and the magazine is the size of his comically giant head. Space Marines are now only slightly better than they used to be.
If you play GW games or use GW Miniatures then I cant imagine why you would ever complain about any company having weird proportions or ridiculous sized guns.
Meh. That "Real Soldier"'s backpack is comically oversized and that gun barrel is going to break before the first game. Torso detail is OK, but those pants have zero depth in their sculpting. Pretty terrible model and probably not even available in plastic.
If that picture proves one thing it's that different styles and scales don't match very well. Raging Heroes deliberately tries to sell alternative Warhammer models, and it's not a bad thing to edge their proportions closer to GW's to avoid conflicting visuals. It's actually a selling point.

Have an exalt for making me laugh
Sure it is a joke, but the point is real. Tabletop minis proportions should be tailored to their purpose and not be slaves to realism.
On that note, I love the Raging Heroes Paladin chicks, apart from their wastes. I think that waste size is fine for the Jailbirds, but for the Paladins I want to see more something more load-bearing.
Still too busy for my tastes and some of the weapons are becoming comically oversized at this point. I half expect Kimmie to tip over trying to hold that fist raised like that.
Quite surprised they're doing non-KS releases all of the sudden. I've been getting emails on an almost daily basis from them now and I thought it was all KS stuff they're finally getting around to releasing normally.

They were releasing miniatures before they start their first Kickstarter, you know.
This is their usual business. Also, I believe they are pretty much aware of the rage and hate still lingering on the net about their various Kickstarters. The Warstage one is still ongoing, and it's not really doing well. So better do it the old way, at least the only bad that can happen is people not liking their miniatures and just not buying them.
Hehehehe, sorry, you must be new here when it comes to Raging Heroes and some of the Dakkanauts, including me.
I am aware of that they were an actual somewhat punctual company before KS, I have the original Kurganova sisters, in metal, along with the bulldog. It was that quality that made me back their first KS aeons ago.
I'm just surprised that they managed to move beyond the KS stage, as some companies get stuck in there and always need another KS to release new models.
Good on them I suppose.
And got a KS email from them just now, their next KS is coming this Fall.
I like them a bit more now, they're repping BLOOD MACHINES from Carpenter Brut, awww yissss!
You know, that Kimmie 'Doomfist' Krüsher might have finally done it for me. RH has been bombarding me with Jailbirds across all platforms, guess what I needed was a zogging huge asymmetrical powerfist chick to get me moving

Definately have to agree here. GW's weapons and hands are rediculously proportioned. Also aside from Juan Diaz i don't think anyone at GW knows what an actual woman looks like. Their female sculpts are all pretty manly and rediculous bar a few.
I sold off almost all of my TGG2 stuff... And the ones I did keep and assemble were PITA... I swore off Raging Heroes... but... for some reason I have been looking through their site and want some of their newer stuff,,,, I may give them a second chance with TGG3...
I liked TGG1. but fell out of love with them in TGG2.. Hope we get more werewolves...

Old Metal Escher and new Escher aren't bad... They at least register as female...
I was surprised to see their new message via KS. I thought they wanted all traffic and conversation directed to their website.
In the end I was pretty satisfied with what I got from TGG2. Once things wanted to go together they pretty much stayed that way.
The post-KS releases have been nice and much more cooperative to build. Even KS models I've gotten at retail had less issues than the actual KS versions (yeah, I double dipped on some of them).
No, I've been following their kickstarters from the first one and I keep receiving their advertisements for their website on a regular basis. They never stopped.
Their site is always full of their annoying pop up messages telling mister X has bought product Y that you don't care about. But yeah, if you don't mind all of this, the new miniatures are indeed nice.

"Heroic Scale" was completely awful, but it has been dying off for years now. It's really not fair to bring up a comparison that's probably nearly twenty years old when what they make now is extremely different. Meanwhile, Games Workshop has produced so few female miniatures. Are you referring to the Juan Diaz Daemonettes? Aside from Arwen, they're the only female miniatures I can find that he's made. And they really, really aren't what "actual women" look like. New Celestine, Severina Raine, female Genestealer Cultists, and the female Sequitors are much, much more realistic than anything by Juan Diaz or Raging Heroes.
Does anyone here has access to the latest "update" on their terrain kickstarter project?
Since I got kicked out of the project for being "too negative" I still watch that disaster from time to time and enjoy the show.
Unfortunately they seem to have sent a direct e-mail to backers and not use the KS update system.

I should hope not - they're demons, after all. And ironically those Juan Diaz ones look far too feminine. Over the years there's been a few female characters for various factions, and they all looked sufficiently feminine to me, whether that be a dark elf sorceress, the high elf everqueen, a dwarf queen, sisters of battle ... Hairtyles have a lot to do with it, but then that's true in real life too.
I thought there was talks of a third campaign, but it kinda sounded like it was going to be used to fund the cathedral terrain that seems stuck in development hell currently.
They haven't really talked about what they're planning on kickstarting outside of their game though, have they?
Raging Heroes makes good looking models, just never ever invest in their kickstarters because they all seem to be riddled with problems and instead just wait for the models to hit the store itself.
The strong point of these not-GW snake ladies is certainly their dynamism. Raging Heroes sure knows how to play with their snake bodies...I'm betting there is no bone inside of those.
Otherwise, GW's plastic kit is already doing the job, IMHO. Raging Heroes kits aren't interesting unless taken in their so called "bundles".Even so it's sometimes arguable.

Plus the newer store models don't have many of those same problems.
My TGG2 was a fething mess of unlabelled bags. I don't even know if they sent me everything, because I bought someone else out, and then they only sent me one set of the freebies, and then told me that they'd send me the others "later" because they were doing those only as 1 per backer. And the whole experience was just so horrible in the end I never even opened all of the packages.
How did you manage to clean them up? I've got figures that have been left out "to air" for over a year and they're still a greasy-feeling mess.
Oh, and the relentlessly constant rate of repetitive emails I've been getting spammed with lately made me have to unsub from their mailing list. One email per release, please, not fething five-to-five hundred.
Seconding this question as likewise mine are airing out still in some staggered containers and I have a nice bottle of Simple Green as well but haven't brought myself to attempt the cleaning of em.
I tried the simple green route. Didn't seem to make much difference, but probably got them clean still.
I ended up spraying a matte sealer on them after that and it seemed to do the job. I'd had similar issues with Prodos models being slimy/sticky and it seemed to solve the issue.
Don't know if it was just my batch or what but it worked.
..I'd forgotten about all those baggies though. You didn't have to remind me!
Raging Heroes puts instructions in their stuff these days with regards to how to deal with the resin: Air out five to seven days at the very least, then clean the resin with simple green and a soft brush, repeat until it is no longer greasy.

I have given up on that one and written it off, it's been six years now.
Oh no, those can't possibly be female, they aren't in heels. RH wouldn't ever release something with shoes so uninspired as flats on a female miniature and anyone who complains is simply trying to drag the company's vision through the mud.
My soap box is made of fething salt here. I argued with these dinks for ages to try and get my money back when they changed from booted sisters to their final product, and now, oh look there IS interest in such things.
Last thing I'll say, don't kickstart them, you have no real idea what they'll look like by the end no matter how detailed they look now.
They are developing and releasing models outside of a KS campaign again, so that's something. This may be them striking whilst the iron is still heating up, getting out as much as possible before GW drops the revamped Sororitas range later this year and steals the thunder of most third party not-sisters companies out there.
On the models: They have a nice chunk and mass to them, but the poses some of the models have don't work for me. RH likes to use certain dynamic poses a lot, which is supposed to make the models pop and more unique, but for me personally, it makes them look more alike with their models from other ranges, as certain poses just keep popping up all the time. There's also the feeling that these are great for a one-off squad, but not for army building, as every squad would look the same. Unless these have more options for arms and heads included?
Its the usual raging heroes formula. More complicated poses and bigger boobs. That's pretty much the same for each of their 'GW-inspired' lines.
After building the new chaos marines..these girls look positively bare.
I will happily use them for a one off squad or kill team or ..whatever. But I hate painting the same damn thing over and over again..my armies look pretty hodge podge.
And, apart from the delay..(which admittedly I've become numb to because of every ks Ive ever backed being astoundingly late) I was super pleased with the results of all their kickstarters. I'll back the next one.
These don't look like space marines to me, at least not any more than Shieldwolf's Primaris-sized space sisters. They do look cool, though.
Still, I was promised salty tears. :.(

YMMV obv.
I would hope its not a KS because they realised they have burned a gak load of people with the last 3? KS nightmares.
Similar story to others. I have tons unbuild minis from two KS in boxes. Was really like Kurganowas sisters and during KS I go crazy stupid.
What I still like: beautiful female faces with lots of expresions and character. Cool ideas.
Don't like: Heads proportions seams bigger on model then on renders. And I thing they grow with next projects. TGG2 was a mess . Not butique, top quality experience. To many spam and promotions. And looks for me that buying normal in shop is better way then KS.
The tiny waists feel really off. It's like... it's supposed to be armor but the waists are so thin that it just doesn't make it feel like armor. Well, for me at least.
Yes, their girls are very thin. Also, some poses look like they're breaking some bones or, at least, are very painful.
They're quite nice, if you can accomodate the material they're made with. Raging Heroes made a lot of progress since the kickstarters, but you still have to handle their miniatures with care. They're so thin I'm always afraid to break them, even if most are still in one piece after all that time. But then I don't play often with them.
This is different.. RH is releasing a new army called Blood Tribes...which is ...Khorne....Barbarian....Conan? anyway..neeeeew Miniatures to buy and stuff in your closet
Spoiler:
Spoiler:
A few reused Poses are in there. But one would an amzing Darkoath Warqueen or Chaos Lord with the others making great leaders of chaos Marauders. Nice to see them branching out to different armies.
I wonder if they'll go full circle and repurpose these girls into chaos cultists somehow down the line.
I think they're just the fantasy counterpart of their Wild Dogs. Raging Heroes doesn't always make the same kits both for SF/fantasy. It's very clear those are specific, I doubt they will use the same miniatures as base for something else.They're better off with making whole new "character" miniatures.
When you get down to it, a SoB is just a female Marine. Literally the only difference is a few lines in background of the game. If you removed the augumenting, black templars could comfortably apply for Sisters of battle job postings.

I feel attaked
Skull-Face-Axe-Warhawk Chicks look the business, I'd Warcry them in a heartbeat if I hadn't already promised myself I'd hard pass on the game until at least 2020. I do prefer RG minis with a little less going on, but I get that these and the Jackals are intentionally dialed-up-to-eleven bonkers.
In the story for Untamed Beasts they do use flint weapons and many of their bone weapons clearly have some flit blades jammed into them. I figure flint and stone are valid for them as weapons. It's more refining materials like metals which they would have in very short to no supply
If I didn't just plunk down a chunk on a new laptop, I'd actually have ordered a set of these. I really like the look of them. Hopefully we see them try their hand at Raging Heroes-ifying some of the other Warcry warbands.
They threatened to do some male elf torsos during TGG2, but I scoffed and then immediately lost track of whether those saw production or not.
ASIDE: I just kicked the Deserts of Death KS, and had the thought this morning that I keep seeing new elf lines that are entirely female. Coincidentally these are also the only elf lines I've thrown money at. Hmm.
So in case anyone was wondering or curious about these Blood Tribes, I got mine in the mail the other day.
Interesting facts- they're on 30mm bases now, which is new from Raging Heroes. They've all been on 25mm bases prior.
That makes them much more in line with WarCry models. They're also in whatever larger scale GW is operating on- so that means they won't exactly fit in with any other RH model line, but I don't think that was their intention in the first place.
The resin quality is pretty nice. A bit of cleanup but no slimy/ shiny residue. I feel the models are a little flat compared to other RH figures but that might be down to posing and me not building them all yet. I'll post some photos with some size comparisons later.
Also have some of the not- Stormcast girls arriving soon as well and I'll fill you all in if you're curious.
Resin without a wash or paint can appear somewhat flat in profile because of the general lack of contrast, esp in photos. It's why "bare resin" photos sometimes have powerful directional light or a single dark wash to enhance the edge contrast.
They're flat in a Stonehaven Minis sense. The pose itself is a bit flat. There is definitely a sense of depth to the model but they're nowhere near as crazy dynamic as some of their other sculpts.
I was going to put up a video of them later which should help show things a bit better (plus all the models of the bunch- it was hard to pick a favorite).
I also have a box of the executioner ladies coming. Curious if they're as big as a Stormcast and how they compare to some of their other new releases. I'll try to take some pictures of those too if you guys want to see.
Those look pretty good. Thanks for the photos. I think these are on my list now. Is there any chance of a pic of one of the unassembled ones you have? I want to see how hard they look to assemble. I still have nightmares about the fantasy cavalry i got in the last kickstarter.... Something that shows how many pieces they are in. Whether the face and the head and the hair are 3 separate pieces....

Thanks, I know how miniatures work.
These look flat like early 90's GW metal models, but without the "easy-bend" solution that they had. I'm fine with the models from that time being so flat, but a little less keen on it from premium-priced, non-metal stuff from 2019.
Having almost finished the Blood Tribes models, I have to say I'm pretty happy with them- I think they may be my favorite Raging Heroes models so far.
My dismay with their flatness was alleviated once I started getting paint on them. Would they have been better had they been fully parted out into 8 or 9 pieces minimum? Sure.
Would it have been to put all that together? Probably. They do seem like they'll be a lot more durable in actual games. I don't feel like I'm holding some piece of delicate art in hand.
This girl just showed up today as well in case you didn't see it.
In case you need a Frazetta inspired barbarian woman with an animal skull for a mask on a giant chaos-y deer horse. Not liking the fur on the rear legs but otherwise looks like it'll be a fun addition to the line.
It'll be interesting to see how many parts this model ends up being made out of. I couldn't help myself and already ordered one...
I don't normally care for the Raging Heroes overly busy style, but these (minus the crotch spike which would catch and throw the thing to the ground) are a pretty cool option. I don't think the basic engine which shall not be named is very attractive, so it's cool to see an option. It's always nice to see options.
Liking the look of the spires, the faces on the machine's knees not so much.
Also unconvinced by the way the saw and gun barrel are placed there, doesn't seem particularly practical.
Bit heavy on the crucifixion theme too especially on the top one, not to mention the tiresome underboob look, but I guess that is not unexpected here...
I really like them. The legs and the arms of the machines probably will benefit from an exchange with the corresponding parts of a GW penitent engine (for legs the old ones, for the arms the new one), though.

I deleted the gun from the saw arm of my War Pulpit. It doesn't match up with Penitent Engine weapons anyway, so no loss.
I'm very tempted... though the pilots on these read more like Repentias than they do convicts for Penitent Engines. Flirting with the thought of buying the RH walkers and replacing the pilots.
Should have just doubled down on the saw arm IMO, but I suppose RH wanted them to be able to dreadnought as well. Do prefer to the Dub engine all the same, much better presence on these than the new stubby engine.
Bumping this to the top, as subscribers to their newsletter are getting early access to their black Friday sales now. There's still some metals left for those interested.
Decided to order Doctor von X (teacup yo!), Irina Vega and Heleria Drakenfeld, never know when they might come in handy.
They're doing a Boxing day sale right now: 50% off all TGG1 metals and buy two, get one more for free with the following code: Buy2get1moreBoxDay which works on just about anything, so if peeps still need to build an army, now's the time.
More Raging heroes you say? Well have I got a deal for you. Hot skull nuns on bikes of DEEEETH!!!!
My fave being "Evita Death" cause the use the evil dead font for her name and I'm a Bruce Campbell fan boy.
What could you possibly use these for...who cares...rush out and buy them IMMEDIATELY!!! Special discount if you buy them with the other skull nuns that WERE limited but are no longer
Every now and then I take a browse on their site to see if I can snag minis to use in Rangers of Shadowdeep, Frostgrave or Necromunda and it hits me on how over the top the posing is. Far too dramatic for my tastes.
Not that there's a specific analog for Chaos Marauder archers (although I guess there should be) but cool none the less. Hopefully they ship them soon....
I got the witch already. I like her. The renders made her look a lot worse than she actually was to put together. I put it on Youtube if anyone cares.
I want to see them try a more heavily armored Blood Tribe now. Need some sort of Iron Golem styled warband!
Since we're covering pateron releases. Raging Heroes just told Artisian guild and Titan Forge to hold their beer. If you're a fan of fey or wood elves this is pretty bonkers for $10 fir the size of some of these.
Even the cheap ones (sub $300) can do 25nm I believe so that should be more then adequate. Mine can go down to 10nm but I believe I need a more expensive resin, $40 vs $15 for 500ml, for that resolution.
I've been getting decent quality 28mm figs on a Ender3 FDM printer. Plus they just went on sale today for $179. 0r $209 for the Ender3 Pro. So worth it for terrain, but can get nice results for tabletop figs as well. Sure resin will be much better, but cost and speed wise the Ender3 cannot be beat.
I wouldn't count Titan Forge out for the month of July just yet, what with their giant colossus and multiple types of evil dwarfs... plus they're starting their scifi patreon.
But man do those Fairy royalty look like something out of Olivier Ledroit's Wika comics! That's an impressive feat- plus I want to see more stuff based on Ledroit's designs as the guy is wildly creative.
Ten bucks for access to all that is a good deal. I'll be printing those blade dancers at the very least.

While I am biased, I really hate the Ender3 I have at work, even for terrain at $15 for 500ml and $250 for a printer the quality isn't really debatable I think. $50 more (over the pro) for like 5x the resolution (10x at 25nm) is really a good price. Speed though. if you're just talking print time resin is way faster then FDM as it prints everything on the plate at the exact same time. Cure time though does add a lot more. Simpler and less messy I'd agree on.
FDM is still great (I have two and use them regularly) but it's not as binary as the choice was just a year ago before the huge price drop on SLA printers.

I unbacked Titan forge each time the dwarves have come up -- they just don't do anything for me. Probably won't get these as they're not something I'm super interested in either but they are very impressive while the dwarves I just see and go Meh. It's taste for sure but Titan forge right now isn't really doing things that stand out as unrealistic to mold up and sell in cast resin as opposed to these being something you'd never make money selling if you did that.
I mean... the renders are very impressive, but... have they even tried to print them? Plus, while big and fancy, I'm not sure I want to go resin or a thousand hours for fdm (what with printing and support removal) to get the kind of gigantic models I'm already not buying from GW because they are so damn awkward in play.
I guess they're ok as display pieces, though, or maybe if you print them at 200-300% or something to have a nice statuette.
Well she is a wood elf because she can't fit into any building . Those wings are, what, 5 times the size of her body?
It's pretty ridiculous, but the most awesome minis generally are .
In fairness wings that size would be more realistic - the reason we don't tend to see them is mostly because it gets huge beyond measure for most to actually fit wings like that into a game case to play
that is definitely an interesting mini but my mind is having some trouble making sense of it. I like the big wings but why so many additional sets of wings behind the first set? What is the giant ultramarine symbol representing? A magic halo or something? Horns? What is all that under her attaching to the base? Robes? Waves of energy/magic? Jets of air farting out of her backside allowing her to hover in place?

RH has ALWAYS been art over functionality. Logic and logistics are not part of their design process
It's specially baffling seeing Taipan mini linked below has much more sensible proportions (at least in human form, snake one looks wonky too) and is far better looking design thanks to that.
. Not butique, top quality experience. To many spam and promotions. And looks for me that buying normal in shop is better way then 
to put all that together? Probably. They do seem like they'll be a lot more durable in actual games. I don't feel like I'm holding some piece of delicate art in hand.
