Maybe, though if they do appear just to admonish people I hope they'll use a different insult this time around. Unless the powder on their cornflakes isn't sugar and it's addled their brains.

Medical emergency maybe?

**RoninXiC**

Mmhh.... lalala.

What else could we talk about?

Right on, the last ten pages or so have been more about the lack of communication than actual communication with them. Rock my world, RH, Rock my world. It also indicates, maybe, that we'll talk about anything, up to and including people not talking to us. Lovely.

Sure is the fastest way to rid yourself of any support and hype regarding future projects.

Or the most prolonged, drawn out way. Whatever way you look at it, the outcome is the same.

**BrookM**

Will be interesting to see what kind of comeback they'll have with their next update or general sign of life. Will they give an explanation or just pretend like nothing happened?

**RoninXiC**

We've been working on super amazing stuff which we will show you "next week"!

**JWMarines**

They've got their whole internet setup in "sandbox" mode, so they keep trying to post info, but it never makes a live change anywhere.

I'm 80% sure this is not the case. But, I just can't come up with a reasonable explanation for them to stay so utterly silent. At this point I would write off my pledge as a loss to wishful thinking, but it was way more money than I feel like should be used on "wishful thinking"/"out on a limb" projects. It's getting harder and harder not to mind the no updates thing.

**BrookM**

And to think, that last update of theirs brought with it that spark of hope that hey, things couldn't be all that bad then..

But yeah, regardless of the reason for the silence, it is unacceptable that they haven't chimed in even once with a quick "so and so was sick" or "due to critical hardware failure we lost everything, sadface"

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

Well thankfully we have a new update, so you can all complain about that for the next 20 pages.

Project Update #78: Remember, Remember, the Fifth of November...
Posted by Loud'n Raging ♥ Like
Hi guys,

First of all, on behalf of the whole Raging Team, we want to thank you from the bottom of our heart for the tremendous positive feedback we received after the last Update.

It generated many Likes and Shares all over the web, and we have you to thank for this. Since then, we've been receiving and replying to many emails from all over the world about the TGG. The fanbase is growing, and this can only mean bigger and better things for the Raging Heroes armies!

This summer work was so hard and intensive that we have not quite fully recovered yet But the efforts have paid off. We absolutely wanted to show you something special, to present you with a set of top notch minis, and it looks like, for most of you, this is what happened. So once again, thank you so much for your support and your enthusiasm. It's because of you that, today, we are bringing the Raging Heroes miniatures and every things that goes with them to the next level.

However, you may have noticed that we've gone a bit quiet since then... Well, it's true, we're not the best at posting frequent updates... but this should change soon as we are in the process of recruiting a new team member, just to take care of that ! So once again, sorry for not saying “Hello” and giving some news more often. This should soon be a thing of the past.

So why haven't you heard from us? Here are some of the reasons:

We had to concentrate of the very tedious and unglamorous task of finalizing the last technical details to send the sculpts to 3D printing. More than 250 parts to be cleaned, checked, polished, double-checked, and then ran through some sort of black magic software that conform them for the 3D printer... then triple-checked.... and then quadruple-checked...

During that time, we also prepared visuals and other materials for our new German distributor Martin Ellermeier, who quite largely featured Raging Heroes at his booth at Spiel '13 in Essen, Germany, the world's largest trade fair for board games, this past Oct 24-27. Most of the Raging Heroes minis were there, and even the test 3D print of One-Shot Blondie we featured during the Kickstarter.

And also, Benoit and I finally took a week off for some much-needed vacation time. Nevertheless, during that time, the Raging Heroes office continued to buzz with activity, with Sculpt Supervisor Jean-Romain overseeing a full team of freelancers, and with the arrival of Cédric, our friend / bass player / songwriter / Russian chopper model addict / anime fan / show-swordplayer trainee, who can now add packing&shipping Raging Heroes minis to his list of credentials.

Just so you know, we are currently working on finalizing a new batch of Heroines, as well as the Lulu's! (Read more about the Lulu's and how they fit in a wargame.)

We'll be writing up a longer update very soon with many images, as well as a special treat about the KSTs (no, don't even try to guess, it is not something that was featured in the Kickstarter... but if you had not yet completely fallen for the KST girls, well, this might just tip you over to their side...). There will also be a lot of info on other topics: of course, everything about the TGG minis and your feedback and questions from the last Update, details on the upcoming Webinar, your reactions to our Dark Elves (and a word or two on the Sisters of Eternal Mercy as well), and more…

Until later,
All the best,
Mireille Raging Heroes Team

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

Dear backers, we knew you all wanted us to be working hard on making this project a success so we went on holiday. F*** you. That is all.

**Buzzsaw**

Good to see that they really took that criticism on-board and changed.... uh... yeah.

But hey! The two principles did get a vacation... okay, "the Raging Heroes office continued to buzz with activity, with Sculpt Supervisor Jean-Romain overseeing a full team of freelancers, and with the arrival of Cédric, our friend / bass player / songwriter / Russian chopper model addict / anime fan / show-swordplayer trainee" but, it's important to remember that Meri has the keys to the comments section, so of course the "Sculpt Supervisor" was incapable of any communication.

**alanmckenzie**

Morning everyo......

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

@alan what the hell is that from? I'm dangerously intrigued.

Sorry for the OT

No idea, I'm afraid. Pretty much just googled "robot man waking up to a raging heroes update gif".... Or words to that effect.

Sorry, no idea where it's from.

Well played, sir. Well played.

If it's not high impact polystyrene, I doubt it.

I'm having a hard time with this one.

**BobtheInquisitor**

So, they didn't address any concerns or criticisms at all, eh? Nice.

Also, "We delayed this update so we would be on hand to answer questions...then we went on vacation."

**BrookM**

No, they did answer a lot of questions via e-mail, that's why they were so quiet all the time!!!!

But yeah, it would've been classier to just say it up front before the fact. I'm actually surprised they're still looking for an extra sculptor, I thought that was already in the bag by now.

And well, I guess the previewed models are now truly 100% sculpted now, as what I've gathered from this update, they've been fine-tuned to the point of perfection.

**dubovac**

I am not a backer but follow this thread because I liked concepts very much. But after this "update" I can just imagine how do you feel, I believe my rage meter would pass that 80% mark

**prankster**

See, the title from this update just makes me add the following line in my head The Gunpowder treason and plot; which just makes me think that RH are still plotting something nefarious rather than actually planning on communicating with us.

Hopefully they won't take too long getting their new Communication Director (everyone's a director) in place so they can get him up to speed and we can maybe get some regular updates.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

an update that said nothing.....

but it was a month earlier than I was expecting so well done RH.....

**shamikebab**

don't do updates - moan
do updates - moan

**prankster**

Half the issue with the updates that they do put out is that they don't really say anything.

If they were updating on a regular basis then updates that just say things are progressing wouldn't receive this kind of response. Instead, with the lack of updates, ones such as this that promise jam tomorrow are received poorly by the community.

**RoninXiC**

Yeah.. lots of words.. nothing in it.

What exactly have they been doing during the last 4 weeks? Fixing stuff in their renders? Tell us! Why the secrecy?

250 parts? parts of WHAT? New minis? Old ones? So you are changing things? Tell us!

So... you are fixing things to get them to the 3d printer.. what about our comments and (constructive) criticism...

I'm not, I've figured out what's happening; this new comms director they've hired is the Iraqi Information Minister(There are no tanks in Baghdad!).

So, is this trolling, or are you genuinely incapable of understanding what people are annoyed about?

Don't bother responding for a while by the way, I'm going to take a week's holiday now because the strain of making this post was just too much for my fragile constitution.
