Shameful Alph...simply shameful. You seem like you're barely Twitter-weaned at all with such a negative performance. Here, let me fix it for you:

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

Now make that into a .gif so RH can post it to their Tumblr.

On-topic, I am not surprised that some people like the featureless shoulders; Space Marines have a similar thing going for probably similar reasons. Hopefully the rest of Wave 1 will be shown soon, but after the ship Wave 1 to the backers is it going to retail, or is it only going to retail after all waves are completed?

Which is a shame, because that will only pave the way for more douchebaggery from these jokers.

Hey now. I might enjoy their artistic meanderings, but I really don't wish them to fail. Tortured artists have produced some of the world's greatest works of art, after all... could be somewhat true of miniatures, even

I feel like we need to spend more time discussing the models' feet.

See, this is why I love you lads. I set them up, you knock them out of the park Too often in real life people just assume I am insane and miss out on all the little piles of humor I leave lying around.

I would love to see some dramatic readings of these threads though... we should make that happen.

Bugger it.

Not worth it.



Go back to bitching about every little thing that happens (or doesn't happen), and I'll go back to avoiding this thread for months at a time. That seems to suit everyone.

From what I remember the idea was that wave 1 stuff would be available to retailers after going out to KS backers

so if you chose to wait till everything was done and not pay extra for wave shipping or get involved in the pick up from a store or a some sort of group backer shipping location (I could never figure out this bit) you'd have to watch ordinary mortals getting the minis before you

but whether this is still the case ? who knows

Bugger it. Not worth it...

I vote for Diabeetus and Slowbeef reading these on Youtube.

I'm pretty sure it's mostly a humour thread at this stage. It's only shameful if you take the whole thing seriously, rather than as an expensive joke that will be played out over the next year or two...

This is how I understood it. But I certainly wouldn't be certain of what's going to happen.

I think that's why RH would eventually look into wave shipping for those unfortunates who don't have a drop ship affiliate near them.

I hope so. In their email to me they mentioned looking into lowering the $20 shipping rate for subsequent shipping waves after the first... I think. Which would be good, if they can manage it.

I'm not going to pay $60 to ship some first wave stuff, then the snipers that I want, then the freebies that we'll be due (I'm mostly guessing about waves here). I'd much prefer to wait and get them all at once. It would sting a bit though if I'm still waiting for my stuff months, or even a year after most of it is available in shops.

Well, that's why there was the question about personal drop ship options. For those who were either getting multiple pledges or small gaming groups, in both cases there'd have been a shipping charge of £20 per pledge to make up the postage costs.

I'm definitely feeling like a minority . I check for updates and such once a month, I don't really give a gak if there is one or not, I've paid my money and I'm getting miniatures, good looking miniatures.
To be constantly harping on about the same crap hoping for a different result seems to me to be an exercise in insanity. Different companies surprisingly are different. I'm fairly patient when it comes to KS , i trust I'll receive it when it is ready , I don't know what they are dealing with in regard to design, manufacture and logistics , and even if I did know through updates that wouldn't stop the weird negativity in this thread.

Why is it important to receive updates? You know the date for receiving the miniatures is going to be a while away and judging by the companies past you should have known this before jumping in. Being spoon fed pretty pictures every day or bits of useless info doesn't change anything, only one thing matters, receiving the miniatures , everything else is window dressing.

Seriously, some of you sound like a child asking it's mother for an ice cream. To be honest if i was raging heroes I wouldn't want to engage with you either.

I think you'd find that, for most of us, we have the same expectation.

That is, until the company SAYS they're going to provide one. Then they're late on it. By over a month. No one here is looking for daily updates, or even weekly updates. Heaven forbid that we try and hold them accountable to what they've said they were going to do.

Awe, and now you want to "make your point stronger" by insulting everyone. Well played.

This crap has been going on for about 38 pages now and it's the same people , about 6-10 posting the same thing over and over and over.

bleh.

OK then - we'll see you when the actual miniatures are released.

Until then, you'll have to leave this thread to the 80% (give or take) of the backers who just want RH to do what they said they'd do.

And I think we want ice cream now too.

Clearly you've missed the fact that it's, at this point, about 80% a joke thread at this point.

I'll be here at least twice before the miniatures arrive, but for the most part I avoid here (ive been back twice or 3 times since the KS finished) for the above reasons.

Your mother probably didn't expect payment in advance for the ice cream. And if she did, she didn't just act like nothing happened for weeks on end.

Well the good news is that, at this point, our expectations of professionalism from Raging Heroes are so low that things can only go up!

Bewtween me asking for the ice cream and the ice cream parlour serving it up she also didn't have to listen to, " where's my ice cream, is it coming, you said it was coming, i hope that ice cream looks slighlty different, mum, where's my ice cream, mum, the ice cream is melting, it's melting, where's that ice cream again, you told me my ice cream was coming, mum this is the worlds slowest ice cream parlour, you said it would be coming in a year, where's my ice cream"

I'll take that out of this thread as a positive cincy

Yes, because she didn't just take your money and go on holiday for a few weeks. Try to keep up.

It is not even past the time the miniatures were supposed to be delivered. If they want to take a holiday that is up to them.

Two staffers out of the full staff, and a single week. No need to be dramatic.

At this point, I'm going to say that Bullockist isn't getting it.

And that's OK.

But continuously poking the people who are....upset...and with an ice cream cone, no less, well, that's just bad form.

Thing is i remember when this thread wasn't 80% joke and it WAS the same as now, with the same things being said.

Instead of poking people with and ice cream cone I should be handing out cones, I'm sure this thread would improve.

If you guys are satirising yourselves and your previous attitudes then I whole heartedly agree with the concept.

They kind of are.

The whole thing has become a farce.
