Raging Heroes' logo is still bad though.

Wow, it really is! When did it change... I must not have been paying attention. It took me almost a minute to really distinguish what each letter was supposed to be... would've had no chance if I didn't already know what it was spelling.

The 3 von Königsmark sisters launch with a very special Deal

The three von Königsmark sisters and their dog Walter are now available for pre-order, with a special low price for the first 100 orders!



Brunhilde comes with 2 weapon options: shield and great sword.
Hildegard has 2 weapon options: blunderbuss and sniper rifle.
Gretchen comes with 2 left arm options: rapier and pistol.

You can purchase each separately, or get your hands on the von Königsmark Limited Edition Box which contains the 3 von Königsmark sisters, as well as these 3 exclusive bonuses:
• Walter, their Renaissance dog,
• a crossbow for Gretchen,
• a war hammmer for Brunhilde.

Walter, Gretchen's crossbow and Brunhilde's war hammer are ONLY available as part of the von Königsmark Limited Edition Box.

The Limited Edition Box has been designed to be a hot deal, since it's almost 3 Euros less expensive than buying the 3 minis separately, and you've got Walter and 2 additional weapon options as well! But don't miss out: there are only 1000 boxes, and then they're gone...

Note: If you've already have an order awaiting shipment with us (mostly pre-orders for the Kurganovas) and would like us to combine your orders to save on shipping, we can do that!
Just make your purchase, then drop us an email and will combine your orders and refund you the extra shipping paid.

And so one question remains for you to help us with: If Walter could talk, what stories would he tell?

Just in case: Our site supplier informs us that our site may be down for 10 minutes between 4:15am and 4:30am CET tonight, for maintenance.

Naming and motto contest results for the Fantasy version of the Kurganovas

As you know, we asked our German-speaking friends to find names and mottos for the Fantasy version of the SF Kurganova sisters, and we received over 85 cool answers! Here are our choices below.
Also, please note that we carefully read all the suggestions regarding design and weapon options. The images below already incorporate some of that, and we'll tell you more about it in details tomorrow.

THE NAMES

We are happy to introduce the von Königsmark sisters.
The name was suggested by Jose Jingco from Germany: "This is a very old German noble name which first occurred during the 12th century. "König" is the German word for king, which I think is appropriate to the 3 sisters due to their very majestic appearance."

The youngest sister is Gretchen. This name was suggested by 5 of you (and all for the youngest sister) and was first proposed by Valeriy Ovchinnikov from the Russian Federation, who also told us that "Gretchen" is a German diminutive of "Margareta".

The middle sister is Hildegard. This name was suggested by 7 of you and was first proposed by Bjorn from Germany.
The female name Hildegard is derived from the Old High German words hild (=war or battle) and gard (=protection) and means "protecting battle-maid". - Wikipedia

The eldest sister is Brunhilde. This name was suggested by 5 of you and was first proposed by Johann Bauer from Germany.
Brynhildr (sometimes spelled Brunhild, Brünnhilde, Brynhild) is a shieldmaiden and a valkyrie in Norse mythology. (…)The history of Brynhildr includes fratricide, a long battle between brothers, and dealings with the Huns. - Wikipedia

Special mention: their dog will be called Walter, thanks to a suggestion by Daniel Domke from Germany.

THE MOTTOS

For Gretchen: Den Teufel mit dem Beelzebub austreiben
This motto was suggested by Thomas Pichler from Austria, who gave us this translation: "Basically it means 'Exorcising one devil with another', since Beelzebub is another name for the devil (Teufel), so it plays upon the sci-fi version's motto of the devil sending a woman when he can't make it."

For Hildegard: Die Götter würfeln nicht
This motto was suggested by Daiske Tornier from Germany, who gave us this translation: "The gods do not roll dice; variation of Einsteins quote about his disdain for the inherent randomness of quantum mechanics; I assumed the middle sister is the engineer/sniper of the trio…"
He also wrote: "It is her firm conviction that there is no randomness or uncertainty to either the rules that govern this universe or her unerring aim. Ultimately everything, from the trajectory of a cannon ball to even the ebb and flow of the astral winds, can be calculated and likewise any enemy who finds himself in the sights of her skillfully designed rifle are already dead."

For Brunhilde: Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben?
This motto was suggested by 6 of you and was first proposed by Falk Kalamorz from Germany, who gave us this translation: "Do you want to live forever, dogs? (famous saying from Friedrich the Great)", who yelled it in the Battle of Kolin to his fleeing soldiers…

THE FUN ENTRIES
Here are some of the mottos that did not win, but that we enjoyed reading:

Niemand soll hier vorbei
None shall pass – from Bruno (France)

Mmh, lecker...
Mmh, delicious... – from Norman (Germany)

Wo habe ich meine Brille?
Where are my glasses? – also from Norman(Germany)

Einmal toten Ketzer zum mitnehmen, bitte!
One dead heretic to go, please! (As you would say it to a waiter in the coffeeshop) – from Mirko (Germany)

PRE-ORDERS BEGINNING TOMORROW!
Gretchen, Hildegard and Bruhilde von Königsmark are expected be on pre-order tomorrow, at a special launch price reserved for the 100 first buyers.

Furthermore, we will again have a Limited Edition box set, with Walter and a special additional option for Brunhilde…

Oh FFS. They wouldn't want to ship the last lot first or anything...

According to their page, the Kurganovas are due to ship on Nov 20, and the von Königsmarks on Dec 15.

On top of that, RH's pre-order dates always seem to slip by a week or two at the very least....
