Really? I thought you were right into it?

Are you worried about fulfillment, or just bored of the wait?

Wow, I hadn't even thought of that. That... that's pretty amazing. I mean, they have to have fired him and just didn't tell anyone, right? Or he really did die. The only other answer would seem to be that he is sitting at home getting high and watching Adventure Time while sending periodic emails into work to update his boss about how well the communication is going.

Those thoughts occurred to me, as well as the possibility that "the brass" requires final approval over all his communications, and has been keeping a tight muzzle on him. In the face of that opposition, he may or may not have become disillusioned and either stopped trying or quit.

I actually just found out about their comms guy. Apparently his name is Floyd, and this is some footage of him at work.

Also, congrats on pulling your pledge this late in the game, Mathieu. I tip my hat to you!

At first I was hankering for an alternate source for an Adepta Sororitas detachment. Nothing too crazy, just a big blob of girls and priests for all that re-roll goodness. But, yeah, that codex turns me off a bit by its limited use. SO I was actually becoming more and more lukewarm about it, but then I thought "hey, might as well grab some girls for Stormtroopers."

But then I started hitching extra boxes of Eisenkerns on other peoples' orders... and I found a sweet deal on support weapon boxes. Basically, I have Eisenkern, I know I will get Black Widows soon, which will be a joy to work with in plastic. I'll still get a few heroines and 5 or 10 Iron Empire minis out of this.

I guess I might have gotten fed up with the quality and quantity of communication, as well as the snail's pace of production. I realized I like working with DFG's plastics more than an unknown quality of restic.

I also don't want to take on another project that won't go anywhere. I'm selling off my Dark Angels, I'm trying to finish my IG/AdMil, I'm not going to play their game. I have enough of a hard time trying to get my friends into something other than 40K, so this is clearly out of the question.

Azazelx: did I beat your record?

Sorry you're getting out. I still have high hopes, but I can definitely see someone getting disillusioned. Especially if you are satisfied with the Eisenkern line. (Personally, I absolutely LOATHE the look of the Eisenkern, but that's a personal preference rather than a statement of quality in that product line.) I STILL can't find bupkis about the Black Widows (other than, I think, a single model I saw for a ridiculous amount of money).

The single model was free for kickstarter backers, and 4$ to add more to your pledge. I saw it go for a lot more on eBay though, so you might be right about that. And frankly it is a monopose mini, so not worth *that* much, aside from the cool factor.

The Black Widows are being kept for last, because they are still going back and forth over the sprue layout and engineering of the moulds. He wants to really have them nailed before he shows us the awesomeness.

I still think the quality in the sculpts(for Raginshiroz) will be there, when they deliver. I don't think I want an army of restic, though. Not anymore.

Grand Commander Katja?

$22 is too much to pay for a single miniature, in my opinion. Is the Kickstarter for these gals upcoming, ongoing, or past?

Wrong Black Widow.

And talk about a missed opportunity. Sure, you have exposed cleavage in Tactical Dreadnought Armor, but where are the pigeon toes? Might as well just be a dude.

This is Ada, the prototype for the Dreamforge Black Widows.



You could probably Sister them up with some knightly helmets or some Victoria minis heads.

Hmmm...I didn't think that was Katja's cleavage. I thought it was just part of the armor. If you're right, that's pretty awful.

I don't think I like the DFG Black Widow.

We'd especially get the raging part right of the job though.

Liar. You're not really raging.

If you mean raging as in fabulous, then yes, you're the queens of rage.

It was time I let go, honestly. He offered this to me and at first I said no, then I thought for a few days about the campaign and what I was really going to get out of it. I'm not in the habit of making empty statements, either. I know ultimately I am a small, small drop in the 700K bucket, but if they bleed enough customers, maybe they'll at least be humble about their process.

Eh, from what I understand the guys who ran Rackham into the ground still insist they made perfect decisions every step of the way. I wouldn't hold out hope.

You will always hold a shamefully negative space in my heart.

I always wanted that snake guy holding the umbrella. And I did hear rumours of a KS to bring back the range though it was about 2 years ago. The guys who ran it basically tried to bite of more than they could chew.

I might have said umbrella snake in a box somewhere... let me check with my wife, she manages my collection for the most part.

I know I am a little peeved with CMoN with how they handled their re-release of the Rackham stuff. I don't know why they decided to do it as limited runs of very, VERY expensive models, and then stopped half way after releasing sort of questionable choices. I am sure there was a half decent reason, but man... I am used to buying originals at the "OMG RARE AND OOP!" ebay rates, and even I blanched at the prices they were charging.

They were fantastic figures though. The werewolves were and are still the finest figures it's been my pleasure too paint.

Though if anybody has any idea will the Taurox fit in with the Jailbirds aesthetically?

You, young sir, have rock-hard cojones to even think of that possibility.

If I were you, I'd try to find some sort of half-track from WW2, muck it up, add some plating, and use that. There is a scrappy vibe to the jailbirds that the Taurox does not give off. I think Italeri had some 1/48 stuff a while back.

Italeri sucks. I have their not-Opel Blitz in 1:48 scale and the kit doesn't go together well, plus the rubber tires all tore over time for some weird reason.

You're so hard on me lately. Did I do something to offend you, aside from bail out of this?

Feast your eyes: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_kw=1+48+half+track

gak, there is even a Stuke Zu Fuzz kit in there! W00t!

But you are a traitor, just when things were getting more and more exciting, you decide to bail out. When we get our model(s) and you sit there whimpering, your look one of regret, the agony of your poor choice, it will be to us, shall we say, delicious?

It would need significant moding to fix it add wheels remove the back to be a half top. Oh and fix those bull bars. It all so needs an appropriate outrageous Tank Girl paint scheme. That or 2Wykcked or the Chevrolet from Kill Bill.

Though I do like the Neru

It's fething hilarious that there is a hashtag for dartgun, but there is no suction cup on that rifle.

Well, at least to go with the absence of the suction cup, there's also finally an acknowledgement of what these models actually look like #kidwarrior?...... or #childsoldier?

I know you will all totally love this news I will share with you.. the PLEDGEMANAGER! Well a picture of the Pledgemanager:

Oh, yay! Are we putting the discussion on how little communication there is on hold so we can re-do the child soldier argument? Sweet! We should get a top ten greatest hits of the TGG thread.

nope but this is

first sight of the pledge manager




Raging Heroes Liked · 1 hr

We've been putting a lot of work in The Pledge Manager, and it's nearly done! To give you more details on what we're doing, here's a copy of a conversation I had a few hours ago with another backer :

Donald Li:
Hello! Whens the ETA on the pledge manager?
—————————
Asharah Raging
Worked on it all last week and this week-end.
It's the first one I make, and I need to combine the Paypal and Kickstarter pledges, and automate everything as much as possible to avoid errors, so it's hard to say exactly when I'll be done. I'm hoping for the end of this week, but it could take a few more days, if get stuck in too many deadends...
Also, we'd really like to include the latest renders which we haven't shared yet (Wereshewolves, new snipers, etc.).
————————————
Donald Li:
Darn, sounds like a huge chore.
I thought KS had a pledge manager but I suppose you have to add the paypal ones too
————————————
Asharah Raging:
ahhh no... Kickstarter most assuredly does not have a Pledge Manager. Not even something remotely close or practical to use. Just a csv file per pledge level to download. That's it
but no worries, I think the one we're creating is going to be fun to work with for the backers...
—————————————
Donald Li:
I hope you have an option to add even more stuff
—————————————
Asharah Raging:
Absolutely!

Would it help if I asked why the under-age killing machine's toes are pointed away from each other?



Also, where are the injuries and drug injection scars? Are we just supposed to paint that stuff on?

So... the pledge manager is going to be on renders or concept art after all, rather than minis?

I was just wondering that, given their ironclad assurances that nothing would be locked-in until renders were available...

Well, we still don't know if things will be locked in straight away. It could be a variation of their online shop with credit and a special section for kickstarter backers. At least, that'd be the sensible thing to do, it just isn't 100% clear on the angled photo of the monitor. If only there was a way to take a snapshot of your screen directly...

Well, we can only hope an update is on the way soon!
