To be fair, GW need hardly "shoot" it off. They could wrap it in fly paper and hand it to the kid who sweats when he breathes and it would still make it to the public before RH even scrapped their first render.

I'm not sure about that. I think that with their super secret special sauce workflow, RH can scrap renders before they've even completed the concept art for them.

Spaceballs:the movie. It's ready before we've even finished shooting it.

I wish there was a way to get past this part and never have it again.

Like Star Wars' Episode I?

That has some good bits in it at the very least.

Your walking on very thin ice, here. I'd head back to shore if I were you.

Say what you want about Jar-Jar, pod racing, or that little mop-head who played Anakin, but Liam Neeson as a Jedi was dope as all get out.

Oh, and back on-topic: is anyone else thinking we might get at least a COUPLE new renders before the close of the PM?

Just saying episode three would be a fairer comparison in my opinion.

Not to be a pessimist, but that's asking a lot from them, especially at this stage.

Really? I thought it was a reasonable compromise between 'wait 2-3 weeks for all the renders to be done' and 'just guess based on concept art.' I dunno that much about the process, though.

Neither do I, I'd be surprised though if they suddenly did show off all the renders.

Oh, me too! I don't see all of them coming in. I was just hoping for a handful.

I'm afraid if they open the folder with the missing renders in to transfer them into the pledge manager they will end up deciding the don't look good enough and so have to start again from scratch

so that said I suspect no extra renders is probably for the best

Well, I've asked twice (via live chat) regarding further images for the troops and been told both times that they should be able to show them off soon. Last Friday they said new few days, and yesterday they said next week.

If they're no up by Wednesday I may have to keep prodding them.

They're stalling now, just waiting for the timer to run out, at which point they'll just carry on like always.

I just asked about that on the update page. I pilfered 80% of my post from Prankster and Brook, above.

Makes me wonder, why stall? Unless they've got something to hide until it's too late. /accusing them of warcrimes again

hm....

Yes. The white is strong with that particular knight.

Opinions may differ from company to company.

No doubt!

The blackest of Black Knights for one, the Whitest of White for another!

edit: nevermind, I misread.

I've got my order in, kind of excited again. I picked white metal, I figured that was the safest pick.

By getting your order in, I guess you meant you signified your existence to our French Overlordz, nd not that it actually came, right? Right?

S'weird, it took about three or four days for me to receive my order confirmation.

The following day, of course, ex-co-pledge wanted me to put in some stuff for him after all. He was a bit crestfallen that I'd sent it in "even though it was open until June 15th."

I got mine straight awayish, then again, mine is made up of one whopping mini, so the happy hippo shouldn't have had any trouble getting that one through.

You already got your minis?

(Or did you mean your confirmation?)

Confirmation, if I got a mini I would fething explode from the inability to properly respond to a situation like that.

Yes, sorry - I got an order confirmation. No minis yet.

Finished the PM ... only added 5$ because I couldn't count A YEAR AGO WHEN I MADE MY PLEDGE.

A full year and nothing final has been shown :(

I wonder if we'll get another update before the end of the PM.

Sure we will, it will be one extolling the virtues of the software, how helpful the Hippo has been in answering our questions and that the PM will be closed soon.

But, but.. the live chat is such an amazing feature!


Makes you wonder why no other online store has it, right?

I do wonder though, does the PM really need that live chat function? I've seen people in the KS comments section being overjoyed with it, but really? I'm really curious here.
