And if we had followed our original plans, we would be currently in the process of wrapping up with the last batch of minis on their way to you.

Hah, brilliant, so now we're getting the same excuses/reasoning used by an abusive spouse. "I only hit you 'cause you make me mad!"

The miniatures look quite nice, as expected, but I'll still be cashing out in wave 1 if I can, no chance am I hanging about for however many more months it takes them to "perfect" wave 2.

So Sisters will be on the docket next KS? Shoot. Need to adjust my timetable and saving/spending budgets.

Yep. Gonna be eating ramen for awhile on that one.

You're legitimately going to give them more money?!

Yup, yup, yup, it's all our fault!

Hey man, the next one will be a hundred times better than this one!

I mean, I'll buy gak from them retail, but jesus. As if people weren't already enabling their irresponsible business model!

I am a die-hard SOB zealot and I can't imagine wanting to deal with the heartburn of one of their KS.

I can't imagine the heartburn that will arise from the SoB (ha!) fans once the Ultimate Cheesecake that is becomes a bit more widely known!

Hoo boy. At least they aren't barefoot like repentia.

Yeah, why are they wearing those big ass Mario movie boots?

Wow ill be backing that one.

According to the bit of fluff in the update, they fight naked in honor of Davidia, their Patron Saint of Nudity. We should be tolerant of their religious practices.

Why are they all nearly naked...and wearing Gears of War boots....

Because they are even more sexualized repentia counts-as and bare feet was silly.

The Vow of Poverty has a loophole for chainsaws and mecha boots.

It's sensible to some I suppose.

 cincydooley wrote:

Likely for greater balance and posing options. With power-feet they have a larger surface to glue them to a base with and the weight of those boots will also help lower the center of gravity if they're top heavy (from swords and such).

Just wait for the Sodomettes, I'm sure they'll have very interesting gear options.

I think it was Alph that mentioned the pigeon toed look: dayum, Mortaria is...



That's a little coquettish for a master assassin.

Which, based on the fluff shared by RH, would actually make more sense than these Gothic/Industrial stompy boots.

Apparently their giant swords have an ability to break down the molecules of armor, so these warriors fight nearly naked so as to not have their own weapons destroy them. But I guess armor is only a concern in this regard when it comes to T&A, Feet and arms... no problem!

Probably shouldn't be holding those swords so close to their boots then...

Because, you know, any situation where they'd have to worry about "breaking down their armor" certainly wouldn't be a problem for a naked chick.

Hahahaha.

I actually will probably get a few models from the first KS. Have they given ANY hint as to when it might ship?

 cincydooley wrote:

The boots are called priests, because they save their soles.

I'll get my coat...

As for the update, it's nice that we've had one, even if the information could have easily been split over the past few weeks rather than dumped in one go like this.

It's a shame that the troopers have been dropped from the first wave, but on the other hand nice that we have (what should be) a final list. They just need to get the pledge manager out now so people can start sorting out what first wave stuff they want. Though I can see this change causing some people to adjust what they were after if they were planning on cashing out in wave one. The cynic in me would tend to think that this change was intentionally aimed at those people, try and tempt them to stay in for a while longer and possibly spend more money with wave 2 / 3.

The renders all look good, but then that's not really been a big concern with the project. Though I'm still not sold on the artillery sets. I think it'll be command boxes for their weapons rather than the smaller figure count artillery boxes. I think the bikes have grown on me a little, even if the guns are a bit impractical. The only downside is that all of them have wonky front wheels, the joint to the bars isn't centred so won't provide a smooth ride even on a new road surface.

So, now that the pledge manager is 80% complete, the question is will we see it before the new IG codex? I'm thinking not, especially as RH seem to want to have stock on hand for wave one rather than getting an idea of how much stock they need.

Do you know if ya'll are gonna be able to add gak on during the PM?

If so, I may try and piggy back on one of you for a model or three.

I thought they said that the ability to add to your pledge would end before the pledge manager dropped, but they might have meant that it would end WITH the pledge manager dropping.

It could just be the current paypal option that's going away. It all depends on how they've put the pledge manager together and whether or not they're wanting to turn down extra money at this stage.

They have a generic called Ranitidine that does wonder for heartburn. I've been on it since September... at least 80% of the time.

As for the not-repentia's nakedness... I'd give them a branch. Cuz, you know Davidians.

I'll join prankster outside

I'm very, very pissed that the troops have been dropped from Wave 1. I'm not going to cash out by ordering a bunch of multiples of the same heroines, dammit.

I love that they aren't even trying to hide the fact about what these not-Repentia models intended use is. Giant swords and naked women covered in scripture, yeah sure we can justify that somehow.

I hope those gargantuan corrective boots cure their pigeon-toedness.

Here's a question. I kind of took it for a given that the Space Nuns and Dark Elf lines would both be much more fetishistic than the TGG. Am I the odd man out? I mean, Sisters of Battle and Dark Eldar are already pandering to some fetish markets already, (light S&M, chicks with guns, etc) so I just naturally assumed that third party miniatures aimed at that niche would probably do the same. Were other people expecting something different?

Which I suppose brings me to another (related) point. What are people expecting out of the next KS? Since it seemed like there was a wide variety of expectations on this one, I'm curious as to whether or not there is a consensus from the community from what they want.

Personally, out of the Sisters KS, I just want models that look like they could be fielded alongside GW Sisters and not look weird, while still maintaining the high detail and quality of the Raging Heroes minis I've seen so far. (At KS prices, lol!)

So what are YOU guys expecting out of the next KS? (And just to get it out of the way, "Poor communication!" "Production delays!" "No updates!" "Pigeon toes!" "80% deliciousness!" There. I think that covers them all. )
