Is doing around 100,000 better than the previous one only marginal? I suppose?

For something that had "analysts" expecting to bust the 1,5M mark, yeah, it is marginally better than the last one. Unless Paypal straight up allowed them to grab such a big piece of the pie, but that's a little like a SuperPAC saying they "got money;" no one knows anything for sure except Karl Rove.

**H.B.M.C.**

Ok, in for $50. Hopefully I can get the things I want.

How many models are unavailable right now?

I don't think anyone here was expecting it to break $1.5 million. The 1.5 talk was based off what was needed to unlock all the stretch goals
at 10k a pop. I think on RH themselves might have believed it. Still they did better than their first one and with the dollar to euro exchange rate being more in their favor, they did a lot better.

**Mathieu Raymond**

The damn huntress. They had to unlock super-wimple instead of the huntress.

There's around 30 things still locked. Most of the big stuff and a few heroines for each faction.

There's also what's likely to be the final update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loudnraging/tgg2-light-and-darkness/posts/1193222 but no bonus unlocks there, just some more stretch goals that we're unlikely to hit.

True that. Very astute.

**BrookM**

Huntress is 830k stretchgoal.

**dracpanzer**

I'm not unhappy with everything I have seen. Was really hopeful from the first sister freebie, love that scout model. The mascot freebies kind of hurt, and not seeing anything else I really needed from the freebies has made up my mind to drop my captain pledge down to $15. Buy some nicely discounted GW terrain from the local game club while I am away in new york for training and put my weekly allowance towards raising my pledge later on to get the few bits that I want.

Sister Scouts, only need five, hopefully they have unlocked to 5 in a box.
Angels for Bretonnian Pegasus Knight stand ins.
18 or so vestal cavalry for my wych counts as daemonettes army seekers.
The Huntress.

If the Huntress was a freebie I might have stayed all in with the captain pledge.

Oh well, was fun!

That is the one fig I'm disappointed didn't unlock. Don't see them pulling in another 36k in 50 minutes.

**-iPaint-**

Seeing as there's 177 people sitting at the $15 pledge level at time of writing this, I can see why this isn't funding as high as thought. Also, if Raging Heroes could figure out how to pace their stretch goals correctly (going from 10k to 5k to bonus unlocks to whatever as the campaign progressed...), they might have had enough funding to produce everything. I can't imagine it's $10k for a single 28mm model, then only $5k for a box of three cavalry models...

Seems they rode the first day pledge rush a bit too much, imo.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Maybe not through the campaign per se, but through Paypal too? Easily. And they did such for the cyberzombies. Fret not, you might have to wait a bit (longer) but you'll get it through the PM eventually.

Edit: I was answering silent25.

**BrookM**

Okay, it's over, at.. $800,553

Goodnight.

**Mathieu Raymond**

But the fun is about to start!

Don't go!!!!

**BrookM**

It's past midnight and I'd rather not outstay my welcome.

**RivenSkull**

The Kickstarter finished. When are my miniture's arriving?

Check back in early 2017.

**Laemos**

Do the PayPal pledges count toward pledge goal unlocks?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

during the KS they did....

after the KS ?

I suspect they haven't yet 'paid' for the 5 minis they unlocked in anticipation of the paypal option collecting loads of cash so best not to anticipate anything else.....

but then again they are artistes, so may well get inspired to work on stuff that was not unlocked, and if they do they may well open them up anyway (like they did with the cyber zombies last time round)

and my pledge has finally been collected after I contacted by CC company to tell them yes it was me trying to pay the money.... to kickstarter, that place where I keep spending money..... sigh, at least it proves the CC fraud dept is trying to be helpful (and have a genuine 24hr hotline)

If you're pledging for more than 175$, you might as well get them and swap them for other stuff. Someone's bound to like them. Plus it adds a gazillion dollars worth to your pledge!11!one!!

Echoing this, scratchy artwork probably isn't the place to decide if you'll like something or not. Once the renders, or even the actual figures come out, there'll probably be at least a couple (or a few) that you'll like.

They burnt too many stretch goals with almost-duplicates of the same model. They should have just added 2 head options and a sword/pistol option for those figures and "created" and funded them once. It'd also make sales and distribution a lot easier.

**BaronIveagh**

I didn't support this one. Still waiting for the last one.

Same thing happened to me. Irksome, especially since I've backed so many KS's recently.

I'm surprised of the lack of surge towards the end... a few k's but nothing like the good old times of Kickstarter.

Considering how this campaign was run it's no surprise. I'm definitely not an expert, but I have a feeling this campaign could've been run way better and scored way more money that this - little bit more than the previous one, which had a lot of hype going on.

As with the first KS, this one was badly managed, especially in the last few days. A few new stretch goal freebies, unlocking basically the same fig once instead of multiple times and a few other tricks could have kicked this one up near $1 million with no problem.

Was going to double pledge to get double freebies, but there were not nearly enough that I liked to get double set.

**Javin**

I only liked two of the freebies. That actually affected my decision to pledge. I loved the first kickstarter freebies. I spent quite a bit of money. This kickstarter was scattered all over the place. I just did not feel pulled in to pledge.

I am still waiting for my original pledge of the first kickstarter.

**H.B.M.C.**

Freebies didn't interest me (the Rabbit's funny, but I don't have to own it).

Just want Huntress and the Daemon Hunter and maybe 1-2 others.

**Absolutionis**

We'll see if things such as the huntress even get unlocked when RH counts in their PayPal backers. The PayPal stuff goes on until the end of the month, and that's plenty of time for RH to think of various reasons for what and why things get unlocked to make it seem like an achievement rather than it all being planned all along.

I'm simply happy that the SciFi Archpapess finally got unlocked officially and it'll be easier to budget stuff in. It looks like a potentially amazing model.

**highlord tamburlaine**

So I get home, it's done, and there's still no War Beast of Faith.

Or the Huntress...

I better see options for them in the pledge manager, dagnabbit!

**RoninXiC**

Mmhm okay... "only" 800k. Was expecting a bit more.

Post KS update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loudnraging/tgg2-light-and-darkness/posts/1193317

Our first Kickstarter was insane, and this one has been even more amazing!!!! We were over $300,000 in less than three hours!!!!!!! We topped the previous one and we did it in just 15 days!!!! Once again, thank you for your ongoing and outstanding support!!! #BestBackersEver!

What's next?

We are going now to take some well-earned time off, as the team has been working without any day off for almost two months now... So please don't be concerned our worried if you don't immediately get replies to your emails and messages.

As you probably know, we opened a Paypal option a couple of days ago, and we will be leaving it open until at least the end of the month of April.

As mentioned on the front page, the Pledge Manager will only open when we are ready to send a first batch of miniatures to the foundry, so this will not happen right away.

Once we get back, our first task will be to add new people to the team to make the production process more efficient. We will also take some time to go visit our partner foundries. We haven't had the opportunity to do it before, and this will help us to all better understand each others' work, methods, and needs, and will have a direct positive impact on the production.

We will of course keep you posted on this. As noted in the FAQ at the bottom of the front page, we will publish about one Update every month now that the campaign is over.

We love to hear from you. You can always contact us via the Kickstarter messaging system, our on our Live Chat (it prompts you to leave a message when we're not available), or via email at RagingHeroesTeam@gmail.com.

Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your wonderful support. We are very excited to bring all the TGG2 concepts to your tabletop, and we are grateful that you gave us the opportunity to do so!

**RoninXiC**

Someone posted a unofficial excel document as a "pledge calculator"... can't find it anymore. The one they linked on their front page is pretty gakky.
