Those terrible glasses are the only thing I dislike about the fantasy models.

Scifi versions are too stripperific imo.

...never mind!

Who are the other finalists? I'll utterly destroy them and take first prize, second and third prize!

If you want first place you'll need to throw a hissy fit first and have your pre-order auctioned off.

Listen HBMC, I'm the impatient one. Take it easy!

Hey guys, Benoit from the Raging Heroes Team here.

Sorry about the delay on the Kurganovas, and sorry about not letting you know earlier about what's going on.

We've been forced to move the shipping date to November 29. Here's why:

For once we where ahead on our schedule with this project, we've received the masters from the 3D print shop earlier than expected and so we were sure we would have plenty of time to deliver the 3 ladies on time.
Well, that was not meant to be...
Honestly, I don't know what happened exactly but something happened at the foundry we are working with. Maybe they just forgot about our masters for a few days or been very busy on another big order. Anyway, we were not able to get news from them for a few days. Sometime this kind of things happen when you work with people who are far away and with the excellent work they do, I really can't blame them.

It wouldn't have been a big problem, we should have been able to keep you posted about this. But Mireille had to go to Canada visiting her family, and I decided that, since I was the one keeping the fort, it would make perfect sense to get sick and be stuck in bed for a few days....

So I'm now catching up on everything, trying to answer all the emails that came in these last few days and putting everything in order at the office.

Anyway, sorry again for the inconvenience. You won't be waiting very long now and everything will be back to normal next week.

Thank you for making the Kurganovas a success !

Cheers

Benoit

Hey Benoit,

Thanks for giving us this informative post. I look forward to getting my three sisters and doggie!

Has anyone received a shipping confirmation yet?

Thanks for the update, Benoit!

Personally I don't mind a bit of a wait, for possibly the best minis on the planet.

A little update about the Kurganovas Limited Edition Box Set:

Arggghhh, the foundry is really trying to drive us nuts on this one...

They told us they were sending half of our order, which was not a problem because we'd ordered enough stock and half of it would cover all the pre-orders... but... when we opened the parcel, there were ALL the Malinkas and ALL the Olgas, but no Ivanka and no Charlie... this was what they meant by half the order....

So, we're already prepared all of the orders, but they are all currently incomplete, and we're waiting for the next shipment (already in transit) that will be at our offices on Monday to close the boxes. Then everything should ship within the next couple of days, in the order in which orders were placed .

However, this does mean that you still have a day or two to get the Kurganovas at pre-order pricing... (over half are already gone).

Benoit

Well, it could have been worse. By "half the order" they could have meant the models were all cut in half!

Don't give them ideas

And thanks for the update and the lovely miniatures Benoit / Raging Heroes.

Thanks for the updates, Benoit! Updates make the nerd rage much Much less and we really do appreciate it!

Like most customers, dakkanauts are usually patient if kept informed. Good to see this happen here. It's the silences that send folks up the wall.

Just now received a shipping confirmation.

Me too! Finally on their way!

Good news. Thank you Ms Santa Claus!

...and no shipping confirmation sent to me.

From the Raging Heroes News Blog:

However, there is plenty of good stuff on the way!
For example, fans of the von Königsmark sisters will be happy to learn that, to answer the many requests we received, we are currently putting finishing touches on a mounted version of Brunhilde, the eldest sister, and mounted versions of Gretchen and Hildegard are likely to follow… Images coming soon...

The von Königsmark sisters have been postponed to the 30th of Dec. though.

No surprises there.

What is surprising is that my set just came in:

They come in their own special box!


Hello ladies~!

That's pretty typical for Raging Heroes. They're always a couple of weeks late at the very least. You'd think they might learn and just change their projected release dates by adding 3-4 weeks to them, then they can tell people "Hey guys! Good news! We got them early!"

I'm kind of afraid of their definition of 'mounted'

Will this remain a family friendly thread?

I think you're confusing this company/thread with another?

They'll be fine.

Two of the girls are rather base unfriendly though with their legs spread out as far as they are. I'll need to find new, wider scenic bases now!

That's a shame

New SciFi WIP:

I like the fan.

I too like the fan, I dislike the pose though, that side on look just reminds me of every 'pointing' or 'shooting' champion from GW's late 80s early 90s.

All character models were either side on like that or making snow angels...

Love the fan.
Whip seems a bit thick
