Really enthusiastic from the beginning. The speed the EB went was amazing.
I just wish they will not get overwhelm by the size of what they need to produce. It's a pretty small company, and I bet there is TONS of nerd like me out there begging for such over-the-top quality, sexy fighting girl minis. Raging Heroes has been too optimistic in the past, I hope they will be able to deliver.

If I could sell blood here in the UK I would there every week.

This KS was meant to be for three all female armies. Raging Heroes have already gone back on their word and included this token male to appease the Politically Correct.

And for that reason, I'm out /Raging Heroines Quit


In all seriousness maybe he was reported dead or something. In the video they mentioned working on the background so perhaps this is a little foreshadowing to whet the appetite.

Or maybe, he's the biggest tit of them all?

You mean he will be FABULOUS!
I do not see that happen but it would be the peak of awesome.

Also it would solve the mystery about who is their mother.

I thought he was a funny edition myself, will be interested to see how he looks.

Also don't forget with the Dark Elves they are saying they won't be all female anyway, or where last time I saw them raise it.

And just when I thought I was done with my IG army... Now I have to build me a Catachan army with those Jailbirds and those Iron Empires might be good stand ins for Steel Legion or DKK, damnit. Must resist the temptation...

Seriously, best minis I've ever seen.

Can someone please tell me where I can see these incredible minis? I am yet to see one single actual physical miniature that will be available to backers.

From past experience their 3D sculpts tend to pretty danged accurate of the final product Vic, so those first few they have shown are good enough for me.

Also, I have been asking you to do female figs for bloody ages, there is a market out there, which this Kickstarter is proving without any doubt.

I think why his presence is a mystery has been covered.

So maths time...

If my maths are not wrong, I count 141 sculpts not counting additional parts

38 heroes
35 unit boxes

They promised up to over 150 unique sculpts a bit over 20 heroes a tad over 20 unit boxes, I didn't know a bit and a tad was 15+, but the more promising is the unique sculpts, we probably have more to see than the shades and question marks which is great.

Well shows how much connection GW has with their customer base and why people should not pay attention to their market analysis.

The female enforcers streachgoal in Deadzone was one of the fastest reached even if one takes into account all other final day rush streachgoals, there is a market for female miniatures.

Just remembered to add postage to my pledge, found myself adding another $50 on top of that too...

Just came from the thread about this at 4Chan. Wow are the social justice warriors out in full force, demonising people who buy it for supporting the exploitation of women and comparing everything to Kingdom Death.

Just like YouTube comments. Yikes...

And you are surprised because?

The Kruganova and Iron Empire girls are about as cheesecak as women in full combat gear would be, unless you have a spiked helmet fetish, even the jailbirds, the most sexualized of the factions, aren't very cheesecakey, I'm not really seeing the KD comparison.

If people can bitch about sth. they will bitch about it. Still think that this is great news for all SoB players - it's the closes thing to official plastic minis you will get in a VERY LONG while.

Well, eventually RH is gonna do their Nunz with Gunz in Sphess. So there's that to look forward to too!

Yeah I'm a bit worried about that. At first I was Imperial guard 100% Dark Elves a no brainer, I will obviously be backing and now I've seen the money required I am all ready ring fencing funds for their take on the Druchii.

However I wasn't too worried about their take on SoB, with the look of the guard though, I am starting to think I'll be backing all three.

I want people to back the Dark Elves so I have people to play against, I'm going in for the Shock Troopers, but I'm holding out the big bucks for the Battle Nunz

Apart from the anti-tank specialist. It's a very cheesecakey pose rather than that of a fighting girl. Which is a shame because she's otherwise excellent!

There are a few things that classify the girls as girls like the boob armor, some very few poses and cloth (which counts almost only for the jailbirds). If these armies aren't emancipated I don't know what is. Especially because there are Jailbirds, Kurganovas and the Empire with different styles - that's how society should be. Diverse.

I joined the masses of this KS's pledgers. My question is: can someone throw let's say an extra $20 to his pledge to add an extra box or does he have to move up on the pledge levels if he needs more?

You can just add more money. No need to change pledge levels. At the end they'll send a survey asking you exactly which minis you want.

Cheers for the quick reply. Now, I have to think what I will do with the minis, since I quit more or less 40k and got (or rather plan to get) seriously into Warzone. All suggestions are welcome!

Count as whatever to warzone, you could wait for their gamesystem, proxy to other gamesystems you might want to try, paint for display or make your own game system.

They did mention in the Faq that if they get enough money Injected plastic is a possibility. I would be very very happy if this goes plastic.

I generally hate proxies that do not resemble the models they are supposed to be proxying. But maybe the Iron Empire Girls can fit into the Bauhaus theme in Warzone. I am waiting currently a Dark Legion army with all options available (I went big on this KS), so the Girls might work as the alternative for a small sized human-faction force. Now, if only these bikes get unlocked

Oh, it's definitely fetish cheesecake, make no doubt about that.

Nothing wrong with that, and it makes excellent business sense to sell what your customers want.

For every one white knight that rants on the internet about it there will be 10 others buying them (probably 1-2 of them women, too).

4chan is about to give the KS a ton of great free advertising.. a lot of people lurking on there are gonna see the "rage thread" and think "why so butthurt?" "Oh, I see them kinky minis. Me gusta. *clicks pledge button*".

I wouldn't, except if they mean resin plastic, plastic does not take undercuts well or at all, it would greatly undermine their quality, or vastly increase the parts count.

I feel the "OMG plastic" is something the community has been fed and been brainwashed its the best thing ever, it has its uses and it can be good for a variety of things, but I do not think its good for this project.
