LnR wrote: 12 AVATARS FOR YOU TO USE!
Update #31 · Jun 27, 2013 · comment

First off, you'll want to know that today, we will be unlocking 3 new items: Baba Yaga, the Soul Weaver Matriarch for the Kurganovas, Arthemisia Rozenkrantz, Strategist for the Iron Empire, and the much-awaited Snipers from the Jailbird Division, so stay tuned for 3 more updates...

While you wait, you can now dress up your avatar, as we've prepared 12 different ones for you to use as backers/supporters of the Toughest Girls of the Galaxy Kickstarter.
With all this choice, we hope you'll find your favourite!

Just rick-click and save the ones you like.
Or grab them all when you download this zip file (right-click and choose 'Save Link as...').

NB: All these images can also be found here.

Nice fun update, though something that may have had a bigger impact early on in the KS.

Oh, and I cba linking all 12 images

Earlier would be fantastic, but better late than never.

I like the avatars in green

Now I want them to redo all the art in green rather than red
(or maybe as well)

Jailbird snipers look excellent!

Indeed and since nobody posted the pic yet

34 seconds

You posted and then edited for the pic .

But ok!

I do hope they fix the physics of the crouching sniper.

I hate that sniper on the right's pose. It's NOT a stable shooting position in the slightest! [/gunnerd]

Although not very practical, I quite like the pose (could say that about a lot of the jbs). Just pretend she's surveying the scene.

You are most obviously not a ballerina sniper ;-)

Studied modern dance. Not a possible position.

Check mate!

Come on, looking at what limbo dancers do.. that is totally possible! Well, with something under her butt and the rifle, I do think it is a position to shoot. I really like the pose, it is something different. Of course it is not suitable position in a normal situation but war doesn't guarantee normal situations.^^

I like the snipers. However, once again, the Jailbirds have fewer locked units than everyone else. *jealous*

Either bring one of her knees down or out past her centre of gravity. Not a big detail. I'm not getting any snipers (thanks, sucky 40K! rules) but they do look good.

Do we know when we'll see the new K mascot and the IE freedom mini?

And that right sniper needs to bend her knee further so her right buttock can rest on her heel. Otherwise, she'd fall back in about 2 seconds.

I really like it

(although she does need to borrow the obligatory rock that so many minis stand on to sit on, and a wall to rest her rifle on)

Five bucks you can't even get in that pose without the rifle.......

The wall/rock idea is best.

It's not like Cadians have the proper neck muscles to hold up their bobbleheads.

Suspension of belief is how we roll.

How much stuff is promised now?

Because judging at the rate other kickstarters have gone, it could take years to get all this product out (which would be tragic because I want that medic)

I think they like money and would like their product to be as successful as possible - hence good comparability with Citadel Miniatures rather than taking the Dystopian Legions route. And for all my criticism of the KS, quality is the thing that RH pretty much has down pat...

Challenge accepted.


This is the best I can do with my M1 Garand standing in for a sniper rifle. (Sadly I don't own an M82 Barrett for a proper stand in XD)

Keep in mind I'm old and have busted up knees from the Marine Corps, so maybe one of you whipper snappers with actual cartilage in your joints can do better.

Edit:

On a Herald note, the team at RH has confirmed that KST will be getting Were Troopers in the future after the kickstarter

On a personal note I cannot hope to tell you how pleased that makes me.

Ramping up production and maintaining quality are critical for them now. I'd love to see their game be able to compete with 40k one day. Most of the games that come along are very skirmish-oriented, so I don't think they compete as directly with GW as they could. I'd love for them to create a game that can scale all the way to huge battles... Even if they don't have the supporting models right off the bat... It's not like no one proxied or scratch built for GW games over the years.

Two things;

First, Impressive!

Second, dang, I was really hoping the werewomen would be a possibility for a late term stretch goal... although that does seem rather impossible given the current modality. Ah well.

That's what I was hoping for too Buzzsaw, but it looks like the Weretroopers will be joining the Jetgirls for a later release date. RH says they didn't expect them to be so popular!

Excellent, and pretty damn close to the pose too.

You appear stable enough to shoot.

Remember it's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look doing either.

Although if your profile is correct, 23 isn't old!

I asked in the comments section on the KS, but I got drowned out by people gushing over the bikes, does the heavy trooper upgrade cover both regular and command sets, or just regular? If it doesn't cover regular, I wonder then if we're going to see one for the command box. It seems like it's been a while since there was a box upgrade.

I feel old, probably gonna be walking with a cane within the year. Any way if I can get in that stance again without shattering my knees I'll try to fire in it next time I hit the range just for funsies, I am predicting "minute of barn door" accuracy.

Another reason to have a few proper plastic kits. Every single restic manufacturer I know eventually learns that restic just can't keep up with the requirements of mass production. Just this week Avatars of War finally bit the bullet and abandoned WarCast for their regiments (though they made the mistake of moving to a different restic already associated with massive undersupply). Everybody would win if they had a few proper plastic kits for when someone wants a couple of platoons for their IG - cheaper for them, cheaper for us, and doesn't tie up their production facilities for a week. Even if they still threw in a sprue of restic heads as a detailing kit, that would still be a lot faster and cheaper than doing the whole thing in restic.

Bazram, each set group (heavy, regular, heavy command, and command,) seperately get their own upgrades. Last I checked, which was just today, they had the heavy normal, regular, and regular command troop boxes upgraded. As well as artillery set 1, and Tania Tanker, Lieutenant Parker, Cruz, Elektra, #42, Krüger individually each have something new.
