Come on RH, surprise me....

Please?

Though it would be neat, they did promise us actual progress for this one instead of gratuitous booty shots.

To be honest, I'd be ok with either. Still don't know how they haven't grasped how much people prefer, and are placated by, small, regular updates. Even with minimal content. Mierce and their friday updates have it absolutely correct. This weird thing they have about showing wips is ridiculous, frankly. Even GW do it.

Agreed, at this point weekly updates would work better, just show off one or two minis at a time, not a whole batch at once. Unlike Kingdom Death, which is well past that stage now and can sate us with a monthly update, RH can do just that, give us small updates to keep us in the loop, preferably through KS instead of the social media they keep harping on about.

Almost.

Don't hotlink Flickr, they don't like it when you do that.

The same social media that we were weaned on? I thought they were above that. Either way, the only thing they seem to post on it is images of random pics from 2 month old updates...... and weird, non-related stuff. Delicious, but weird and non-related.

Aye, it is weird that they keep reminding us of older updates, but I guess they want to be sure that everybody gets to see the goodies before they are swept away like grains of sand, flowing into that tiny hole in the hourglass.

Not to drag this thread further into a delicious pile of images, but...

A winner.

Not just a winner, but also..

Holy gak! Baghdad Bob!

Well at least my two boxes of Boyz turned up.. more Orks for me later.

Wonder if those renders will show up today.

Place your bets!

Come on, guys, don't you know Chinese New Year starts today? How reprehensible of you to expect them not to celebrate.

#anyexcuseisgoodtoparty.

Right, I'll just send them my own local holidays, so they can really enjoy their selves this year, as perfection intended.

I like to think of them as accelerating to the speed of light; they're never going to make it, and the closer they get the more their timeline diverges from ours.

I love you guys so hard right now


(Punctuation left to the reader's imagination!)

Also, what time zone are they adhering to? Less than 30 minutes to go until the month is over on mainland Europe.

A properly placed semicolon makes this statement spicy.



On topic, are we sure they're using the Gregorian Calendar?

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd update!

Holy gak the troops all look damn good! Looks like I'll be getting myself at least a small squad of regular KST and heavy KST to compliment my heroines. The good news is the pledge manager will let us do that!

Ivanka's new sculpt was underwhelming though, something about her ushanka is just... off.

Mother of.... that Sister is awesome.

*Sigh*

They're casting in a new material for the first time. So why is half the rank and file standing on one foot, at an angle? Do they not understand the risk that their entire line will be ruined by snapped or warped ankles?

Some good, some bad, but one thing really hit me as, wow, that's... dumb;



Seriously, the trooper all the way on the left. What the heck?

I'm rapidly growing less enamored with the troopers in general (concomitantly my hopes for DFG's Black Widows are rising...).

That said, some of the Hero figures are just... Amazing.

First impressions:

Troopers are looking good, though a few of the poses seem like they're gonna be hell to make into anything else than what the renders show them as.

The KST Heavies seem to have undergone some changes - notably smaller shoulder pads and different backpack antennas.

The Heroines all look smart. Looking forward to seeing them as 3D prints.

Mecha looks good.

~iPaint

There are a lot of nice looking miniatures in that update!

Quite an update indeed, with lots of good stuff on display.

Also, yay, finally a rundown of what the first wave includes: "This First Wave is intended to include Yoko, Tania, Nathasha, Mimi, Volga, Vera, Irina, Hilda von Stroheim, Blondie, Bernadette, Cruz, von X, Aaqila, Tarja, Sashenka, Mortaria, Katrina Zerga, the 5 Lulus + the Freebee Lulu, and the 3 mascots (Charlie, Harry, Jinx)."

Though I am going to echo what AlexHolker said: A new material and all those models standing on one foot / toe at those angles? I do not see this ending well.

I was going to get a Kurganova command set, just to bail out early, but two of those poses.. Not sure if they'll survive transport and handling by others.

Maybe I'll sit tight and wait for Irina Vega to pop up instead.

Everything looks pretty tremendous. Drakkan, in particular, looks incredible. I think my IE army is going to look just fantastic. Still think it's going to be at least Christmas before I have it all in hand, but, although we always said the quality was going to be good, I've really been extra impressed by it.

Still being a relative newbie to this KS stuff, how common is it that models from wave 1 end up on the regular web store before the fulfillment is complete. I can see how it would make business sense but it does leave something of a bad taste in the mouth if a lot of the things you want end up in wave 3, doubly so with how slow this one seems to be.
