gak gets rewritten so often and so fast, who knows what's real anymore? The only time GW thinks of the children anyway is when they need to part them of their money as fast as possible.

I would definitely proxy those little girls as a squad of cultists for my backfield objective squatter squad. I'm pretty persuasive, so with enough beer in the room I could probably convince the fellas to let the squad have a 2++ save called "they're too cute to shoot!".

I would shoot them just for looking to dam cute

And to think RH thought they could avoid these types of conversations!

**Mathieu Raymond**

We're adults, we'll talk about whatever we damn well want!

Even if it is about toy soldiers...

New Update with Paypal Option:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loudnraging/raging-heroes-the-toughest-girls-of-the-galaxy/posts/525484

We are very happy to announce that the Paypal option is now open. Just follow this link: http://www.ragingheroes.com/pages/tggks

This means that if, for some reason, you cannot use Amazon Payments and thus participate in the Kickstarter directly, you can now use Paypal on our website to get the same advantages.

And since we haven't yet properly introduced her as she was released amidst the craziness of the first day of the TGG Kickstarter, here is Tania Tanker, Tank Specialist for the Jailbird Division.

Tania is a pretty joyful character, and an enthusiast who loves to build mechanical things as much as she enjoys destroying them.

This has landed her into being the go-to person of the Jailbird Division when building new types of vehicles, ambushing armoured convoys, or customising stolen equipment.

And although she lost her arm in troubled circumstances she won't talk about, she has crafted for herself an exceptional replacement which is without doubt her greatest achievement to date.

As depicted on the concept, Tania comes with an anti-tank weapon for seek-and-destroy missions. But she will also have an optional heavy shotgun that is handy for when she's working on tanks and various other equipment for the Jailbirds. She also carries a machete for close-combat.

They are developing a special centrifuge to expediate the process without the need for all this 'hobby' nonsense.

A paypal option would normally mean certain fiscal death for me, but I think I'm good here unless they release some other walkers that look particularly incredible.

That's been tossed about a lot, and after the first time I saw it, I was never able to look at boob-plate armour the same way again.

**Eggs**

I'm all for dynamic poses, and love a lot of the stuff we've seen so far, but Tania Tanker's head is pointing in the opposite direction to her toes. I thought only owls could do that?

**H.B.M.C.**

No it's not. Her torso is twisted almost 90 degrees, and her head is facing her arm. Almost anyone can do that.

**Eggs**

It's a million miles away from a natural pose, though sadly one that is struck by just about every female in comic books. 'Can we try and show both T&A in one go?'

**WolfStark**

The picture is a reminiscents to:

Even in that picture you would see an ass, since it looks pretty much like been drawn from the side. Of course Tania is posing but it is the only girl that is looking back as far as I can see, though I call it a nice variety.

Well except it's a pose from one of the most famous WW2 posters in the U.S.

Wolf has it there for you.

Here's a link to the full pic - http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bBppxUHEi6U/TSgLys5tVDI/AAAAAAAAA6c/8muQXdErxXA/s1600/Misfits+Vintage+Rosie_the_riveter.jpg

Now just rotate that to the left, and voila, your pose.

**Eggs**

But if you rotate it to the left, she's no longer looking backwards is she? The neck would need to twist a good bit further in the WWII pic to be like the RH mini. Not complaining too much, cos as I say, I'm a fan of most of the stuff I've seen so far. This pose just feels too much for my tastes.

Yeah, it's a rather sad attitude among artists.

**Jimsolo**

Never mind.

I like the Tania figure. I think the pose is totally legitimate.

The exposed buttcrack is a git gratuitous though. Some greestuff might be in order.

New Update with Zombie and sweetened Pledge Levels and a new Pledge Level

#42, Cyber Zombie

#42 is one of the many cyber zombies used by the Iron Empire. Most of them are completely interchangeable, having lost all form of human consciousness and individuality. But as unthinkable as it may seem, there appears to be a very small light still flickering in the mind of #42.

She used to be a very strong-willed Jailbird warrior who got killed during a particularly violent Iron Empire raid. Her body was scavenged by the Iron Empire embalmers who set her alongside the most promising victims of their grim harvest. Her body was still in a very good condition and her strong musculature made her a perfect choice to be recycled as a bodyguard for a high-ranking character.

When Lady Hilda von Stroheim asked for a full replacement of her bodyguard crew, #42 was appointed to her service and soon proved to be her most effective protector.

Next Update

Our next update will feature the unlocking of the remaining artilleries along with instant Free Upgrades to continue to celebrate the passing of $450,000!

**Jimsolo**

Anyone else want to see a whole unit of cyber-zombies in the future?

**Azazelx**

Good to see some added value to the pledge levels. Laughable to see it added only to the incredibly high ones (and an even higher one added). I guess they've given up completely on getting more backers from people on the fence, which might have been a possibility if they had more value in the less ...enthusiastic levels.

Yes, actually. I quite like #42. Having 9 more unique cyber-zombies would be awesome and the models would find a variety of uses in a number of 40k armies.

Crack Spackle?

**gohkm**

I didn't even notice the butt crack. Where'd that come from?

**Fafnir**

So, we're at 6 days left, and we still have yet to see any new renders outside of the disappointing troop box.

The least they could do is start releasing renders of the finished heroes, or show off some WIPs.

**H.B.M.C.**

Given that their renders end up looking almsot exactly like the artwork, I don't see the point.

**Fafnir**

Except for the one troop box we've seen, which looks a fair bit different from the artwork.

**Lansirill**

Added value for the people that are planning on going in for at least $750. Oof. I know people have suggested that it's easier to get money out of people that have already shown a significant commitment, but ouch. An extra $30 of miniatures isn't going to move me from $150 to $750. It might move me from $150 to, say, $200 or $250, but not a whole extra $600. Still, we're probably going to see everything unlocked still and (hopefully) get the last two freebies (IE Freedom Fighter and KST Mascot.)

Has anyone seen anything posted about those two freebies by the way?

PS. Rest of artillery just unlocked.

I was going to say it, but wasn't sure if anyone would catch the reference.

Yeah. You can see it's directly inspired by it, but their artwork is very much more "fashion model" style, and the renders of the troops as shown were much shorter, with much larger breastplates. I foresee more deviation from the concept art in the same manner with the result of much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

They're using dodgy maths again. The General box doesn't get you twice as many models as the Colonel box, so there's no way in hell it's going to get you more than double the retail value.
