Wolves are going into a Chaos Guard/Marine allied force, where they will be BSD inspired (basically covered in whippoorwill tatts) ChaosTermies with lightning claws.

BSD?

Black Spiral Dancers. From the White Wolf Werewolf: The Apocalypse snooze fe... I mean game.

Stop trying to make me cry

Really not a fan of the wolves, but then I wasn't a fan at the concept stage, there's a rather large part of me torn on adding more money into this, I love almost everything that appears but if they're selling wave 1 at retail as soon as backers have theirs if they dropshipped or paid out the backside for extra shipping then I might as well just wait for retail since I'll probably be opting for one big package once it's done.

Really?

How many squads of Lulus do you plan on getting? Or maybe I misunderstand you. Are you saying you'll add more money to your pledge and still wait until the campaign finalizes, or that instead of doing that, you'll buy stuff at retail and save on shipping, but still have stuff to paint?

Oh, that's so sad. I can't help but be convinced you either A) lacked a competent GM or B) a competent group of players. W:tA was one of the most dynamite RPGs of all time. If you ever get down into the states, you're welcome to stop by for a game. I'll call in people to play just to show how great an experience it can be. ((Same goes for SLA Industries and Deadlands.))

I wonder if the minis would be big enough to do a thirteen coiled spiral on their backs...

Not sure what base they would need, but they might also make a good stand-in for

A) Daemon Prince. (ESPECIALLY for a Chaos Character who gets turned into a Daemon Prince by the boon table!)
B) Wulfen
C) Ogryn/Nork (I may pick up one for this...)
D) Inquisitor in Terminator Armor

Well it's the only miniature I'm after so it's frustrating for me as well. I find it a bit odd that they decided to prioritise the minis for the furrys over one of the initial sculpts that launched the campaign. It must have been a lot more work going from concepts to finished minis that just finishing a sculpt that was already started, at least 80% more work I would imagine.

It's good to find somebody else that enjoyed SLA Industries, It really did foreshadow a lot of the trashy reality TV we get nowadays

I loved it. Even the most scathing review of the game would have to be something along the lines of "Klingon minotaurs team up with Jedi elves to play The Running Man," and that still sounds awesome.

However, back on topic: the wereshewolves are just a little out of my price range for a single mini of that size. I think I'll probably have to take a pass on them. Still, there's lots of uses for them. I'd have loved to field them as a unit of Ogryn.

If the company goes the Rackham route, then you can pick them up on eBay in about 10 years for a surprisingly good price.

I got one of the rarer Wulfens, in metal, for about 15$ last year.

Which one? I am thinking of getting the were-she-wolves to stand along my wulfen in my Circle forces. Because screw using official models

What I mean is I'm planning on getting everything in the big last wave currently as my pledge was nowhere near massive enough to really justify the extra cost of wave shipping.

I do like the idea of getting things at discount through the kickstarter prices though, and there are at least a few models in wave 1 I do want that I didn't previously meaning my pledge no longer covers everything. Therefore I'm torn between increasing my pledge ,and getting them at discount but much later than people who paid for wave shipping, or buying them at retail assuming they don't wait till the last wave is out before putting them on their webstore (sounds like that's definitely happening). Since shipping costs for only a few figs on their store was quite cheap last time I used it then it might mean it works out better than the KS 'discount' and I get them sooner, that is assuming wave shipping means you have to pay $20 a wave?

Varghar. Almost the same pose as the Infinity Mirage 5 puppy, but way more massive.

Ahhh yea, I love that model. I use him as a Whitemane now (though sadly not often, as that model isn't too useful :( )



Such a great model, and fun to paint!

Like all Raging Heroes models will be, no doubt.

When we get them.

Still have two of the female ones from Rackham, might mix them into the squad for variation.

Briefly off topic as I like to at least respond to jibes at WtA, Werewolf may not be everyone's cup of tea, although sadly most of those who are very outspoken about it where either embittered Masquerade players who for some reason where offended vampires couldn't walk over the Garou at equal level, heh, but sadly more often than not brought into the who 'fuzzy superheroes' nonsense thrown around. On top of that I've heard some horror stories of ST's really not getting the setting either and poisoning folks perceptions to one of the best RPG Horror settings out there.

What's really sad is it barely took much more than scratching the surface to discover how dark and corrupt the setting was, how to use it and how damn focused to politics and social interaction it was, easily equal to Vampire in that regard, just on a different stage, if all you saw was endless combat, then something had gone horribly wrong.

Back on topic, I still want to know how the pledge manager will work regarding waves. I really hope it won't be, here's wave one, use some of your funds, and try to remember what's left for the next one. Ideally it will be here's the whole list 'even though ewe have no idea what waves some of theses girls will be arriving in' select all the models you want/need and cash out.

I own one of the sourcebooks (the Wild West one, bought from their $6.66 sale), and I think part of the problem is that people get vampire society. People are familiar with the idea of a family with a patriarch or matriarch at the top like the Godfather, and know that that's how vampires are supposed to work, even if it's just from Dracula and his wives. The iconic werewolf, on the other hand, has no society - it's some clueless guy who wakes up in the morning naked and covered in blood with no idea what happened.

On topic: I'll probably be look at the four infantry units (Kurganova and Jailbird standard and command squads) and get whichever one has the least stupid poses. Hopefully at least one doesn't have any of those "on one leg, at an angle" poses that is begging for a snapped ankle.

I might actually know why...
but I'm just not getting "flashed" or "Stunned" by RH updates and pictures. Sure, the miniatures are sweet... but for me personally, I've lost most of my ... love (?) for the project.

I really want some of the models from the very very end of the campaign, so I'll wait till 2017 for them to be released ;(

Given that they're working on the hairy bints and the Jetgirls, and they've apparently chucked out tons of the work done early in the campaign on some of the heroines, I don't think you can rely on anything as regimented as "order they were revealed/unlocked in" to determine when any particular model will actually come out. One cannot expect a True Artiste to predict the whims of his Muse, afterall

Or the 3D rendering and design team is in a different place then the mastering and sculpting team.

I don't care what your supahr seckret squirrel design process is, there's no good reason to have a 3D sculptor NOT work ahead of the rest of the team, possibly by a significant margin and revise previous work as needed.

I'm leaning towards metal--I don't plan on converting any of the characters, so I'd prefer the sturdier material.

However, I'm going to have them all professionally painted, so I am going to contact the gentleman I'd like to have do it and see if he has a strong preference one way or another.

EDIT: And when I initially pledged, I was positive I wouldn't want many of the IE models. But the 40's silent-film-star heads have made me seriously question that.

Metal here as I don't trust resin, and I was *really* hoping that they'd follow through and make the plastic sprue troops that they'd suggested they'd do when the money got high enough (About a tenth of what they actually brought in.) ... I love plastic more than any other format. Resin can't withstand a fraction of the abuse. :(

And, yeah, the Iron Empire I'd utterly dismissed until they started showing off all the alternate heads. That was a huge game-changer.

There is choice for metal for all options?

Just the heroines I believe

I also believe that is correct.

It is indeed correct. All troops will be in spin-cast resin when they show up.

Awww, wished the troops got the metal treatment too.

It would certainly make them more durable.

Given the crazy ball-socket joint system, I kind of thought metal troops would be more prone to breakage. (Since they'd be much harder to pin.)

True, but I'd rather have metals than brittle resin myself.

I though spin-cast resin wasn't brittle, but had a bit of spring to it? Never had any, so I can't say for sure.

I could be wrong, but isn't Privateer Press' stuff spincast?

Spin-cast resin is unreliable. Some is brittle, some bends under its own weight, some is pock-marked with holes, some shrinks. Or all of the above. We won't know which until we see it.
