Some of them came out way better than i had imagined. Well done.

Loving the artwork for Noctis. If it looks to translate over to its sculpt well enough, I can definitely see myself wanting one.

Kiki looks like what I expected. Terrifying.

Has any one been messing around with the Skykadia program? http://www.skykadia.com/raging_heroes/tgg/

Apparently according to it I have $5 left on my tab after all is said and done. I wonder if that could be applied to shipping, I'll have to ask. Otherwise I suppose I could toss another $5 in to grab another $10 heroine, maybe One Shot Blondie, she might belong to another army but she looks fun to paint. Or go up $10 and I can grab one of the $15 Shocktrooper heroes, or IE's General Ilsa... or of course I can scrap the whole thing all together. Decisions, decisions.

Edit: Holy cow! I just noticed that Blondie is rocking a Hog's Tooth from the look of things! That's freakin moto!

Some very nice concept art, tempted by Baba Yaga and Noctis

I'm really happy to see some more of the concept art. A few of them I didn't think much of as silhouettes but surprised me when they were revealed.

Yeah, there's a few on there that I wasn't really looking at before due to the outlines being unimpressive. Going to have to go through properly tonight and recalculate what I'm looking for. Good thing I snagged another EB Commander earlier

Whoops, figured out where that extra $5 came from, I was a hero light, I removed Irina Vega by accident, decided to replace her with One Shot Blondie as Irina's sculpt isn't exactly exciting.

Can't be that stellar with comments like this (I remember a lot demands for actual prints in this thread, but I won't search for them now):

BTW the print shows (as people familiar with RH already know) that prints are almost exactly as the renders, as they are taken from the same data set. And we have seen WIP renders of troops.

Speaking for myself, I've been asking for Renders, not prints. Prints are fine, great, wonderful. But I've had enough experience with RH to know that their figures end up looking pretty close to the renders. Having the print(s?) is great, especially since we had people questioning the ...validity of those prints a week or so ago, but more renders would be much more useful to the rest of us.

That's a perfect example of a figure with questionable concept art that might well work if we could see the render. Likewise, Yoko the broken-legged pyromaniac.

The soul weavers (plus the embalmer) make nice DE haemunculi.

Same here. There's not much question that RH can provide quality concept art, and if you have any of their other models, it's no surprise that these prints look great. What we really need to see are the steps inbetween.

She was one of the best reveals for me.. absolutely excellent take on a female Ogre, much better than the horrific 'male Ogre with saggy breasts' GW pulled out for Blood Bowl, or the just a little too boyish Maneater.

I'd pay for a whole unit if it was of a similar design.

I'm just wondering what he expected? A sexy ogre?

Actually, I don't want to contemplate that.

Dady Kurganov is not fabulous by default :(. He reminds me of a Vampire Lord with that cape.

I am also on the YAY! side for Kiki. Especially with her little boytoy working dat pole .

Isn't that exactly what you got? Something that looks like Marv from Sin City with a low cut top, lipstick and a beauty mark?

What I wanted was not an ogre, but an Amazon. Something more like this.

Well they are certainty hinting at Imperial Guard, even if they are planning a game of their own at some point.

I had no doubt's that Kiki was going to be a not-Ogryn, as much as I have no doubts that the Lulus will be not-ratlings.

I'm a Kiki fan myself. The first thing that popped into my head when I saw her was 'Death by Snu-Snu'. Foxy might be fun for a diorama piece, but useless for game play unless I use her as an objective. Yoko is promising, but the legs are a bit awkward... it might be catching her in mid-turn, but on the sketch it looks a lot like she's just trying to look sexy with her flame thrower.

Shashenka is the first of the soul weavers that I like; the other ones are in awkward poses. Baba Yaga is nice, but I'm unlikely to get any of the $15 Heroines (the discount is mediocre and I'm not sure that they're really worth $5 more than the $10 ones.) Other than Shashenka, Ivanka is looking to be the only Kurganova I'll probably be going for.

All of the IE reveals are good except for the sniper. Not a fan of the way she's holding the rifle, and it really throws the model off for me.

I wonder if Kurganova troops would look horribly missmatched along side IE troops. Because at this point, my favored aesthetic has shifted from Kurgs to IE, due to the heroines. The concepts for the Kurgs haven't been my cup of tea overall.

Are there Jailbird heavy troopers pictured somewhere?

The JBs aren't getting heavy troopers, they're getting the Lulu's instead.

I haven't seen any. They got Kiki and the Lulus though.

Edit: We've reached $425k: that should unlock Jinx.

That's what I thought - bit of a bummer there, though I guess I can substitute one of the other factions heavies, since this is all one big 'counts as' bonanza anyway!

No the jailbirds get the Lulus instead of the heavy troopers the other two factions have

Interesting...

Not to belabor the "a campaign spending time telling people about what the company in question is already presumed to do well" point, but... this update doesn't really seem to add all that much, does it?

That's not to say that the concept art revealed isn't great (I remain exceptionally pleased with the IE), but it's now somewhat muddled what is and what isn't unlocked, and... well, okay then.

The concept art is revealed. Cool?

It can't really do much to cause people to increase their pledges, because it's a glimpse of what's planned, rather then what is available.

If someone hasn't pledged yet, because it's not a good enough deal, because they have questions about... scale/renders/casts/plastics/hygiene/whatever, what about this update would make them say "ah, now I put down my money"?

Well, there isn't a lot in the latest update to persuade new pledges to jump on board. However, I think there's enough there so that existing pledges can take a look at what they were looking for and then adjust their pledges accordingly. So there'll be a small bump, especially from those who were unsure about outlines but like the actual art work.

It does, as you cover, make the image more confusing as to what's unlocked / locked / coming soon. I think that's down to the way that they've organised the image though, so that they can just update the one image as things get unlocked and they weren't really planning to show off all the art early, they're just reacting to the way the campaign is going.

Well many asked for them to be revealed, so they did it, must we complain about everything?

I think it's a good thing they revealed all, as it would, for me at least, make it easier to narrow down the exact amount I need to pledge. I believe all characters/troops will be unlocked by the end of this KS regardless of the amount. The *real* stretch goals would come after they were all unlocked, but I doubt we'll really get there now.

This is one of the most useful things put together for the Kickstarter by one of the pledger's, Kenny.

http://www.skykadia.com/raging_heroes/tgg/

If you spend your entire pledge, it'll tell you the saving/discount you are receiving as well, which is a handy bit of info.

Kenny rocks,

He did the same for the Impact minis chibi dungeon adventurers KS and it was really useful

(and they ended up using it for the pledge manager too)

Actually Helena Drakenfield really does it for me. Not the most dynamic pose, but damn I like her helmet.

I prefer the graphics to the outlines, so I am pleased with this. The graphics have tags next to the unlocked one, I think it's enough.

I wish Kenny would open up his app for yet-unlocked choices, just so we can really do the lazy-man's "if everything unlocks." It's great that he did that much, though, not complaining.

I'm pretty happy with Jinx. Whenever i settle on a great model for a Rogue Trader Gyrinx to accompany my Inquisitor, someone comes up with something better.
