Oh, yay! Are we putting the discussion on how little communication there is on hold so we can re-do the child soldier argument? Sweet! We should get a top ten greatest hits of the TGG thread.

I've already said my piece, and anyway, we all know anything/everything that RH says is clownshoes.

So, the pledge manager is "nearly done" eh? So then it's probably..................about 80% completed?

Ahem...so no updates up to now? That is since the last one at the start of March?
They really love (=despise) us!

And now I read that the incredible/fabulous pledgemanager - the one which they would only put up with worthless real miniatures - will consist of incedibly unreal sexy renders?
Ah...here they treat us deliciously well! Just can't do without noticing that bad taste in my mouth!

I've been curious about these minis but haven't really paid much attention because I'm distrustful of kickstarters. I saw on their non-ks web page and they had a handful of minis for sale, but none of the super-cool ones that I wanted.

What's going on with this Raging Heroes thing? Will we see more for sale or is it going to be a perpetual kick starter because it's been going on for what, well over a year at least? How much KS money do they need to start a proper business?

As an outsider to this, I'm curious but confused.

No certain amount of money will make a succesfull kickstarter, a certain level of ambition compared to how much you got that's required.

WZR are finishing of wave two right now and they got way less than DGitG... granted they did start a little earlier but anyway.

Every miniature related Kickstarter I'm aware of has taken a considerable amount of time between Kickstarter funding and the delivery of completed product.

From what I've heard, Raging Heroes has a history both of being late as well as producing awesome miniatures. Their quality to price ratio (especially at Kickstarter prices) is much better than Games Workshop's, which is why I got into it.

They have said that after the Kickstarter is over, the TGG models (the ones from the campaign) will be made available to the general public from their online store. I for one appreciate them waiting, since it would be a little disheartening to have to wait for all the production to finish in order to get my models while people who didn't saddle any of the risk of the Kickstarter were able to order the same minis and get theirs before me!

If it's any consolation, I too am very distrustful of Kickstarters. This was the first one I actually backed.

Anything can still happen with these guys.

Indeed. The best of the worst can happen is that they would offer store credit.

From FB:
Are we going to see pictures of the actual minis in the pledge manager or just renders?

Asharah Raging
We are going to put in the Pledge Manager everything that we have available:
- concept if the sculpt has not been approved
- 3D renders if the sculpt has not been 3D printed (or if the 3D print has not been validated)
- photo of the orange 3D print (the master) if we've received it and validated it
- photos of the spin-cast resin minis when we have them (and they are validated)
- we'll include photos of metal casts whenever possible, although metal casts are really hard to photograph well when they're unpainted.
Of course, the image that you see here is a sneak preview, that is, a work-in-progress, which is why you only see renders and concepts.

So 80% of the minis will not be on the pledge manager, basically? Delicious, to say the least.

A nit to pick.

They mentionned in their thank you update that they had been the most successful minis-only Kickstarter "in the history of evah"... what did Reaper Bones do exactly to be dismissed so easily? I know the second one was after, so I understand that.

These melon-fethers are not successful. Not by a long shot. They can start jerking off when every single one of their backers has minis in hand, not before.

Unless hubris is a thing they like to indulge in.

I can't remember the timing of this - was RH before or after BONES I?

I really, really want to buy their stuff, but it's been a long time and they have very few minis for sale.

It was after.

Bones 1 ended in August 2012.

Raging Heroes ended in July 2013

Maybe they don't see Bones as a worthy competitor.

Irrelevant of course, but inconvenient in terms of, you know, The Truth!

They couldn't handle the truth.

NO U!



Wait, I am mixing memes.

We all have our fantasies I suppose.

Mine is Jin getting a haircut and then a shower, just before yelling at me.

Again, I'm really unsure as to how this conversation got there. It must be that ESL thing again.

Does... does he have pigeon toes?

Please go on.


@Mathieu, this whole thread has become one large psychological defense mechanism.

It's what makes the thread..



Honestly though, I want an update badly, but I fear what we'll be getting will once again be disappointing.

The updates are never disappointing!

(your mileage may vary)

True enough, YMMV is certainly in full effect with this thread.

Wow, the hate here... its impressive. Found this thread when the company made thsi comment about updates "There are quite a few reasons as to why it doesn't happen, and even more as to why it doesn't happen on Dakka" and i had to come see what was up. anyone care to bullet point whats the problem? i cant get the jist with the epic snark for 60 pages.

It's a shamefully negative thread.

At least, 80% negative.

Just when I was out?


I was never out though.
