I've highlighted the really important part of the quote above.

I have one of the Kruganova sisters that inspired the TGG line, she fits right in with my guard army, looks great and is of extremely high quality. I fully believe the TGG armies are ready to go. That said I would also say they are ready to go as Guard and maybe you could stretch the Prussians into SoB with their jet pack unit.

I did get Herald status, I will do my best to keep you guys updated through out the KS.

Nothing is more important as being critical. It's a shame that too often people who're not "shut up and take my money!" are called haters. I am not an American but I have the feeling there was or is a different dealing with critiques like Siskel & Ebert in the movie sector. But my feeling is also, that it's not even the slightest as bad in miniatures as it is in games.^^ So I am hoping no one stops with being critical positive and negative, there can't be progress without it.

@ph34r
Well, I have Raging Heroes girls and they're all looking very good, particularly the Königsmark and Kurganova Sisters and Skaarlys. I have the feeling I can even see a development from Asharah's first sculpt over Eleriel & Alaniel to the most recent releases. And Asharah back then was already very good.
I am confident, that they can keep this quality or continue improving it. That doesn't mean they don't make mistakes but a Mantic Nun Desaster? Very unlikely.

@Azazelx
Thanks for the words, in every case I will definitly continue my work.
And congrats Kalashnikov

So are people just assuming that the models will look as amazing or more than the concept art? Are people really throwing money at a product that they can't see, a product which has its value entirely based on aesthetics?

Judging from their past products, especially their miniatures here on my desk, I am quite confident about their ability to deliver stunning models close to the concept art. It's just a matter of time and your patience as others have mentioned as well

Agreed!

However...scale will be VERY important...

Very, very, very important. I think the stuff RH makes is great, but they've got to get the scale right. Can't have another Spartan Games "28mm" catastrophe again.

I'm very excited about it, also presuming they can match the concept art, and that the scale is correct.

Hey! I'm looking forward to this once

Unfortunately, I likely won't have 'net access when it goes live, so no chance at an early slot. Will be watching, though... really can't wait to see the sculpts, particularly with size comparison shots.

I hope when they do go live they have at least on prototype in the material(s) they plan to use just so we can see how the digital sculpts carry over physically

Dakka seems pretty good with regards to this, but the KS comments can be pretty bad. Constructive criticism is essential, whining and "entitled gamer" demands are not.

I have the Kurganova boxset on my painting table right now, and I can say that the three sisters (if you don't take into account the officer caps) are exactly the same height as my Inquisitor Coteaz. Half of the height is legs... which is fun to contemplate...

I think the problem is that a lot of people don't understand the difference between constructive criticism and destructive criticism.

Anyway, I've also got the Kurganova sisters, and while they are the same height as other GW models, they are certainly not as bulky, or "big boned."

Do we have confirmation that there even will be "early bird" slots?

That was the reason given for the countdown.

Never been a big fan of the "Early Bird" craze, even though I can understand the reasoning behind it.

I don't think many campaigns really 'need' it - but then, that's what Crowdfunding is all about - if it works, it gets the money!

I think after the first 500 feedback posts to Raging Heroes (50% by Azazelx ) and the first 5 confirmations by RH that they will take care, we can have a bit of confidence. Doesn't hurt to mention it in every second post of this thread though, just in case 500 is not enough

We're repeating the message so the passage of months does not make memories hazy...

And in case we're then looking at many more months, or perhaps a year...

Apparently that's what the vast 'Skull and Bones Wanting Majority' did too, so we're just covering our bases here.

I am impressed the majority wanted just sculls and did't like the compromise of having an alternative, of course I wonder from were was that majority, I am not saying there wasn't any, but I for example was not in their FB (or any FB) and not on their blog.

how would we know that these are GW stand-ins if they didn't have a heap of skulls???

i'm impressed with the RH mini i got a couple weeks ago, Skaarls...
she scales well with the DE characters, is well cast metal, and very detailed...
i look forward to these girls hitting retail, eventually...

cheers
jah

Here's an old snappy, they scale up nicely with the GW minis, just maybe a bit of a bother to properly mount on custom bases though, as two of the three sisters have their legs planted rather widely.

It's interesting how putting him next to a more evenly proportioned mini makes the commissar lord look like elmer fudd...

"I'll get you, you wascally wenegades!"

I blame the wash I used, ehehehehehe.

But yeah, the girls are a bit leggy, but as a leg man I likes them and they see plenty of use with my revived Guard army. Hopefully soon general Wolfenstein will join the fun as a stand-in Chapter Master with lightning claws!

Maybe use sgt. Parker as a Pask stand-in, who doesn't want a beer chugging tank ace?

Nice!

I suspect that Men Who Wargame will also really like this Kickstarter.

And women. People in general. Legs are sexy.

Hopefully its not terribly expensive to get a decently sized army from this. Honestly I want all 3 but I can't imagine I'll be able to afford it.

Bah! Go scale yourself!

Why is the standard bearer cutting her own throat? IMHO that needs to be rethought.

Other than that I might get in on this.

Yeah, the "cutting her own throat" thing is a bit odd.

Even after jumping into Dreadzone last minute, I am ready, and willing to jump fully on-board with this one, will be interesting to see what they have to show after all this time, and Tuesday was a great choice for me as it's one of my days off.

The cutting the throat thing is seen around with other psycho bad arse types, but I concur on that sculpt.
