I'd expect delays guys, large parts of Europe have been blanketed in snow, since we don't usually get so much infrastructures are unable to cope. People can't get to work, the post doesn't get through, it slows everything down to a crawl.

Very, very impressive... if something comes out that can be used for high elves, I'll be sold!

I need a replacement rider for my dragon... and I think lots of people could use this, too! Hint hint / nudge nudge / wink wink

I guess I should go put that in the model generator on the webiste...!

To be fair, it's the same here in the upper half of the States. Flights severely delayed or canceled, people can't get to work, etc. It doesn't make me any less anxious, but hopefully at least the casted minis should be able to be seen by then.

Well, it's January 11th and the Moloss and Minion 54mm model begun shipping on the 9th, but no word about the others. The site still shows that shipping for all products will begin today. I imagine it's there with all good intentions, but you'd have thought there would at least be posted photos of the standard bearer and hero built miniatures on the site if they were to begin shipping them out today.

Who knows, maybe they're so busy packaging and shipping out the pre-orders that they haven't had time to update the site.

Well, one can hope for no delays right?

Give it a week and then start chomping at the bit. It's a brand new company with it's first order to deal with, there will be teething troubles, just afford them your patience.

Anyone seen the casting yet or the type of metal being used? Hoping it is confrontation standard.

It's resin and white metal; no castings yet.

It's hard to be patient, I'm more excited about these minis than I am the entire new Tyranid release. It's definitely understandable, I imagine getting their virgin release put together and actually started is a huge undertaking with all kinds of infrastructure and little issues that don't present until the last minute.

Man, this year is just going to be awesome for non-GW and non-PP companies. I just feel it. Soda Pop, Ragin Heroes and the old school one I cannot think of at the minute. I have stopped purchase GW and this year is only non-GW models. Stoked about it - cannot remember the last time I was actually excited about a new release.

Just got an email from them. They are behind schedule - an apology, explanation and 20% of next order. Very nice of them. Have to admit I thought they were alsways going to be a bit late, what with it being their first mini and all that. These things happen in life and it won't be the first company to miss a deadline.

Still looking forward to getting their stuff.

I received the same email, as I'm sure many people who ordered did. While we all knew the delay was inevitable, it was still very nice getting a personal email regarding it on top of the discount.

Regardless of the delay, I'm sure we'd all rather see the minis done right rather than rushed.

Speaking of seeing the minis, did you see that preview of the master for the twins? Just amazing in every way; body proportions, ornamental detail, even the flow and folds of the standard are nigh perfect! Definitely going to be a must-have in every army I put on the table.

Cool, e-mail, great that they're so up front about everything and eager to make amends, even though no one would really blame them for it.

The figure looks amazing too, looking forward to painting those two.

Plus, I (sort of) got a mention.. big head time!

I am more than happy with a clearly written email, promptly delivered, with what's going on.

As most who work in customer relations will tell you, it's not the actual problem that usually leads to issues and ill will, it's lack of communication.

Glad to see RH are being straightforward here and we'll see resolution in good time.

Just wanted to let you know that we've added photos of both 54 and 28 mm masters of the Standard Bearer, and a new Demon head concept to serve as an alternate head for the Lord Vampire mini (we're gonna have to name that big guy pretty soon...) on our blog.

Holy flagpoles Batman! Look at those standard bearer shots! I'll have to settle for just my 28mm version, I can't hope to do the 54mm any kind of painting justice.

And the concept art for the vampire lord is just crazy! I love the demon version, especially using it as a transformed vampire. I play Dark Elves, but for the sake of Daemon/Vampire players I hope the model can match that concept art. Of course, this just makes me more anxious to see the Dark Elf version.

For those of us not paying attention to the official site, there's a gorgeous Spirit of the Woods WIP preview on their blog. This thing is set to be massive! I don't think Wood Elves have anything similar in their rules, but maybe if I played them I'd probably use it as a Treeman Ancient replacement or something. It's a fantastic-looking model that would make an amazing centerpiece for any such army, though!

And certainly a worthy conversion piece for a slaaneshi daemon princess.

Haha, I actually put something along that line of thought as a comment asking for a succubus-style archdaemon. It hasn't gone through approval process to show up on the site yet, it seems.

Comments now approved, and another huge thumbs up for Kirbinator, who by suggesting variants like Ocean Spirit and Fire Spirit, is now on a roll to get free RH minis for the rest of the year, if he keeps this up...

While we are doing so, I want to put in a vote for some sort of "Greater Angel" or "Avatar of Faith". I really want a bad ass angel chick in ornate plate mail with either sword and shield or glaive who looks like she could go toe to toe with a greater demon and come out on top.

Please please please.

You got it! T'was already planned for this year!!!

Have you played Darksiders? That game has some armoured angles that look very cool.

I filled in the mini wish form earlier with my own ramblings, well I tried to, I didn't see the 500 character limit at first and had to spend ages editing it. *facepalm*

Good sir, if it looks as good as your current sculpts, you will win all of my internets! I really look forward to seeing what you guys put forth!

Edit: Gargskull: Never heard of Darksiders. Who makes it? I will have to google that and see what I can find. Thanks for the tip!

I'll do my best!

In all seriousness, though, these miniatures are without a doubt the most exciting sculpts I've seen for the fantasy realm of wargaming. Keep us updated for when you decide to delve into the scifi realm and I'm sure we'll all have a lot more requests of your team.

Hi again! Wanted to let you know that we've just posted 6 pictures of the Asharah 3D-printed masters on our blog!

Amazing! I can't wait to see the finished sculpts of the 28mm. Even further, I can't wait to have these in my hands!

Dang ... you will be seeing more of my money when it is ready for shipping.

shipping on schedule for the first minis?

Impressive work, lots of lovely details.

Looks pretty good, and definitely NOT a render.

How tall is that " 28 " mm version though? I mean from the bottom of the feet to the top of where the head would be.

If you aren't on the newsletter list and have any interest in these minis (which you should!), you are really missing out.

Edit: Actually, the website was updated, go look there! Raging Heroes News

The Dark Pegasus is insane! I mean, insane! They rightfully put the disclaimer that the Asharah model has just been dropped onto the model with no posing done and the wings aren't 100% either. However, even as a work in progress that thing looks amazing! I can't wait to get that on the table! I have no idea how they plan on fitting it onto a 40mm base with those wings, maybe a nice piece of scenic base?

That spirit of the wood is really coming along nicely! I'd love to come up against a Wood Elf army with that as their treeman ancient replacement. And fifteen other spirit ideas in the works?!

I also can't wait for that Manticore they mentioned! I might be a little biased but upon seeing how phenomenal that dark pegasus preview is I can't imagine how amazing that manticore will be. I do hope for two things regarding Asharah on the Manticore. First, that her pose will be different from whatever they finalize as her other mounts, I'm a sucker for unique minis. Second, that she wields a wicked lance as her primary weapon. Honestly, though, I'd fall in love with pretty much anything they showed up with judging by the rest of their line of minis and concepts.

Edit: Another wish, that the Dark Pegasus wings will be available as a bitz order. I'm sure we all would love those things on many other minis!

Really nice newsletter, professionaly done and was nice to read through before I started work this morning.

I see from it that Ashara and friends are very nearly done for 28mm and may even start shipping enxt week, cool if so and not as much of a delay as I was expecting so kudos to them again for getting back on track so quickly.

They're also doing their first whole unit, the ideas for which sound very ambitious, I look forward to seieng how wel the finished product gets across those ideas.

Minor gripe, still nothing sci-fi even mentioned in the newsetter, their upcoming designs are all very beautiful but I don't play Fantasy. :(
