This is sad...
...unless that means that CONFRONTATION will be started again soon via KS?

I have been recrowned public enemy number one once more. So pop goes the monocle!
The project has been mishandled, I want to say "said so" but that would be awfully smug and beating a horse carcass really hard into pâté. In the end they bit off more than they could chew within their projected plans and instead of coming out with it being a rough ride they kept mum about it for long periods of time. Which could work in some instances, because no news is good news right? I suppose it's because of the massive pressure they're also under, being the most a successful miniatures KS out there after all. Then there's the glossing over critical questions, or sometimes outright ignoring them in favour of the positive feedback they receive. Not to mention a belated heavy emphasis on social media, which is no doubt been firing all pistons now to get up to speed for their next best thing, because I've got a feeling the Raging Heralds will not be making a return with their next campaign, seeing as that has been anything but a resounding success right? But hey, what do most of us know about running a KS anyway eh?
Also, I'm sure an explanation for the silence will be given with the next update, in an admonishing tone, which is probably them shutting down for the Summer, fine by me. Or was this mentioned in the last update? I don't even remember any more. It's hard to stay interested when the one mini you're in for still hasn't moved on beyond the concept stage.
I don't know if Rackham can be restarted, what with CMoN having most (or was it all?) of their fantasy moulds. It would be hilarious though, I'm trying to offload my AT-43 junk and the moment I send out the last stuff Rackham makes a return no doubt, trying to woe me with their new super armies and whatnot.
edit.
In my ramble I forgot about the forums. I've got a feeling that Raging Forums would be a LOT like those of Pallidium(sp?) books. I'd be banned before I could even think about registering!
And where's the artbook?!

Well, they've realised that the art book needs to be printed on vellum of such quality that they're still trying to find a suitable supplier. And then they'll need to re-do the concept art, as they've come up with a better concept that the true connoisseur will appreciate even more than the actual concepts they have used......

Am I the crazy one here? I mean, am I the one in the wrong in thinking that a company's official should, as a general rule, not link to porn tumblers? Don't get me wrong, nothing like a link to the anal-desires tumbler or such (that Steamgirl thing is... yeah), but when I look over their tumbler...

I've made it a rule:
The only tumblr blog thing I will follow on a semi-regular basis is Bryan Konietzko's, and for damn-good reasons. Everything else can waste away in the dusty cob webs of the Internet's darkest corners for all I care.
I'd actually almost forgotten that RH was still (laughably) fulfilling this KS.

If looking for a safe for work tumblr that's full of 40k art, why not try this one? It updates twice a day and is currently going over the art of the new codex: Orks.

Is that the artist for Kora? , cool
I follow an artist guy from DA but I do try to avoid tumblr as it has a large community of people who make my blood boil.

Okay, why was this moved to Dakka Discussions? For a moment there I thought that the OP had asked the mods to remove this from the forums or something when I couldn't find it.
Disregard, just saw the Nuts and Bolts thread on this, I wholly agree.

Had the same eyebrow raised moment myself, why was it moved?
I feel that the main issue with his kickstarter and possibly the rest they plan and their tumblr ectr ectr is the fact they are artists, I do not say artists cannot run a company, there are evidence that they can, but, there are also evidence that artists can run a company... oddly, for example R and their decision to print books at loss because their boss cared more about them been perfect than gaining money from them.
I feel like they are the opposite of Mantic, caring more to deliver their ideal form of expression than hitting estimated time frames and delivering product on time, if one follows this point of view, their apparent silence is explained in the same way, the artist who isolates himself to create... and forgets that the world exists... or that he (or she) has commitments.
I do not know how they will progress with this mindset, I feel a "communications guy" is not what they need, what they need is somebody to force them on time schedules, somebody to say them, its good enough, stop and send it to production.

Main reasoning is, that sub-forum is for misc. games and right now Raging Heroes is nothing more than an alternate take on the Imperial Guard miniature range with no rules or anything. So it does make sense that it was moved, I just think it would've worked better with a wee heads up in advance.

It will be interesting to see if these guys will sooner or later also go the way of the Bey, especially how things are run now. But like I said, what do we know of running a KS eh?
And hey, they got a communications guy around there, he's just busy doing other things, anything but communications really.

I still don't see the logic why this in the discussion thread, it should be in the other games, or there should be a section for general talk on just miniature makers or for Kickstarter fullfillment
I only noticed this thread again because it was in the discussion thread.

Hmm odd maybe there should be a KS miniatures forum but still.
I've been involved with 2 KS projects (both were RPG books) and we got stuff out in advance of the time we announced.
I'm not sure I actually understand their mentality, there going to annoy lots of people and loose potential future customers.
I'm sure several here will probably not buy any more of their stuff.

I'm glad they take their time ... as long as the quality will be on
I've order the WW minis with the kickstarter money, so I've got time before getting the minis

i've got every Confrontation mini i could ever want, but i don't have any of the TGotG girls...
bring it on, Raging Heroes...
right now, they are more like Raging Hurry-up-and-wait:(...
watching Kickstarters happen, and then waiting for the stuff to hit retail is sad...
i can only imagine how frustrating it must be for actual backers...

Or some of us have simply lost interest with the whole stuff and don't really care anymore. I know that when my pledge arrives it'll sit in a box for a very long time, don't really play 40K anymore which is what they were meant for and before their own system gets going they will have probably rotten away

I cannot remember what I wanted them for to begin with, I remember Mortaria was the concept art that got my attention and she is the model I ultimately decide to not get.
I think I will use them as "proxies" for some personal projects I have.

I wanted them for Adepta Sororitas. But that codex left me uninspired. Then I wanted them for Militarum Tempestus, but I couldn't get my hands on a codex, and even though I could get it now off eBay or something, the novelty has passed. Then I thought I could use them in my Astra Militarum, but Dreamforge has me covered there. Or will once we get the Black Widows. Then I wanted to use them as acolytes in a Grey Knights army. And that won't work anymore.
So hey, chicks with guns.
