Great. Turns out I did indeed receive a second wave and it has been shipped to my dropship weeks ago. No notification email from RH or the dropship itself.
Going to pick it up today and add to the growing pile of unused resin, yay!

Wasn't there talk of them probably not finishing it and adding 'a cool solution' to the new KS for backers of the last one, could be just me imagining things of course.

No, that's what was mentioned, but I think the solution is something along the lines of "pledge in the new KS, mention you're a backer of the previous one, get a set of coasters for free"

Arse bugger bollocks. Went to get my Wave 2 from the dropship today, was hoping that would be that, instead I find literally nothing but the sniper unit I ordered - they even had Ludmilla on the receipt inside the box but they'd scored her out with marker pen. So I still have to hang about waiting for Ludmilla, Raven, and Svetlana.
So much for going with metal heroines so I wouldn't have to piss about waiting for the final wave.

Are you sure about it? for all we know they may delay your shipment to get them all conveniently at once ...

I just died a little inside, still annoyed that there's stuff up for sale I'm still waiting on, 'not going to tank my business because you don't want to pay shipping for waves we won't even tell you the contents of'.

I have received my not-so-huge box, which container a lot of miniatures. Turns out I accidentally ordered one in metal.
I am a proud owner of 55 KST troops with no ambition to turn them into anything interesting.

Well, I did end up buying Lady Hilda von Stroheim. Overall, she's a really nice model and BrookM, you were right about her scaling not being too bad. I did a review on my YouTube channel if anyone wants to watch it. Anyone had any experience contacting RH about broken/miscast pieces? Her command baton was broken in the package, unfortunately.
Ah, okay. It's kind of hard to tell because it's so tiny. Regardless, I probably won't end up using it since it's broken, unless I can get a replacement.
You can always try sending them an email about it.
I'll have to give their resin a try sooner or later down the line, when I have money. And they have more miniatures on sale to justify the shipping cost.

Yeah, I popped them an email. I'm just outside the date to get a replacement, because I was out of town for five days before I could get it from the mailbox and hadn't noticed it until I made the video, but hopefully they'll make an exception. The resin is pretty good stuff. I don't have any complaints save for the one piece that was broken.
just got my second wave stuff in the mail. The casts are amazingly good quality. on par with the kingdom death hard plastics. i had ordered several of the hero figures in metal, and now wish i had more faith in their resin stuff, because those came out very excellently. Very happy, and i can't wait for my third wave in the next few months i'll get some pictures posted up later with the figures still on sprue.

I finally finished to cut all separate parts for these second wave models. At first, the boxes looked small but I didn't think they could fit so many inside of those. Full resin, more than 100 troopers of all kinds...On second thought, it was a good thing they used several waves.
Quality is oustanding. No default or bubble at all even with that huge number of models A few parts beind bended here and there, but that's nothing some warm water won't be able to correct. They are really nice but I must say I'm especially fond of the jailbirds.
I'm quite glad with the result, even if my project from when the Kickstarter began has somewhat shifted. I'm not really into GW anymore and don't feel the urge as before to make an all female imperial guard army. Still, they will make nice infantry for any other 28-32 mmSF skirmish game system.
Don't know if pictures of separate parts will be really interesting for you, guys.
I must say that I can only imagine the huge amount of work it was to do all of these, honestly. Not surprising it took such a long time...whatever the haters will reply.

I can post some KST (regular + regular command) if you'd like. Uncleaned though, can't be bothered to do it right now.
