As an uncle, allow me to be cynical: his presence contributed nothing to the experience of said little bundle of joy. He won't for at least 4 months... which happens to coincide with the supposed Wave 2 shipping.

But he is a sensitive, artistic uncle whose mere presence brings an overwhelming je nais sais pas to every occassion, almost certainly affecting the young one's life in ways the twitter-weaned could not possibly comprehend.....

Please explain the difference. Is it "I don't know (anything)" in connotaion as opposed to "I don't know what"/je ne sais quoi?

You are basically correct, Bob.
But "je ne sais quoi" carries an ephemeral, intangible quality that makes things desirable and builds excitement. It's not just an expression that conveys ignorance or confusion, but is actually a good thing.
Je ne sais pas, however, is really down to earth and does not have any other meaning. What monkeytroll did was use the intangible (secret workflow, perfect minis, redoing everything, moving goalposts) that RH have used to have people frothing at the mouth, and given us a look from the other side of the screen of them as simpletons pushing buttons, with a little bit of drool at the corner of their mouths.
Jeez, the above sounds very clunky, but the imagery is instant and... powerful. A Voltaire moment from our british friend. Automatically Appended Next Post:

@David Wilkewitz: Mechas are definitely Wave 3 :(
@Atreides: Yes indeed! We have planned to begin shipping on June 18. However, shipping to Drop Ship locations can only begin once the Pledge Manager closes and we can combine the shipments :(
#David Wilkewitz: Wave 2 is specifically dedicated to the Troops, so at this point in time, I'm afraid there won't be any extra Support thrown in, only several Heroines :(
However, we will do everything we can to cast Wave 3 as efficiently as possible.
So Wave 2 being everything else but the uber-goals has now become Troops and several heroines.
I'm not even asking them which heroine, because I think they don't know themselves yet.
When they mean extra support... what do they mean? Will there be an incomplete suite of artillery boxes in Wave 2? What about the bikes, where do those fall? Wouldn't it have been smarter to work on getting those mecha to market before the uber-goals of the werewolves? Again, I don't think they know yet the content of Wave 2 except in very general terms. I sure hope everything else I asked for was in Wave 2.
And they are forging ahead with their plan to start shipping on the 18th? Before the pledge manager's second deadline extension comes to pass? So in retrospect, why not send me my Wave 1 stuff as soon as my pledge manager was complete, on May 25th?

It feels like at this point they're grasping at anything to delay the inevitable by just a few more moments.
It will be interesting to see if they can deliver on those promised renders at long last. But why the flying feth with stinking witches wait until the last fething moment to show these off? Why the witching feth are they rendering them now of all times and not weeks or months ago? Has wave one been so fething intense a production that it swept aside all other waves? If so, fething gaking hell, it will be a miracle if they could deliver wave 2 on time, which is significantly larger.
Just when I stupidly assumed they couldn't blow my mind any more, they somehow manage to do just that.

Well, not entirely unexpected. As for their reasons, we can only guess. Though maybe the delay is due to them trying to crank out ~50 renders at once on only a couple of machines rather than doing them over a longer period. I mean, they seemed surprised when I suggested uploading them in smaller batches, but I guess the super secret workflow doesn't cover that.

To be entirely honest as an uncle that missed the birth of his (first) nephew because of work, I would stop everything and go see the newborn.

That's clearly far more than an offhand or casual comment, but I guess if you don't personally want to put any weight to anything a KS creator says outside of "official updates", then you're missing out on a lot of information in many campaigns...

So, they've split the shipping a little. Personal wave shipping still starts tomorrow, just the drop ship pledge rewards are being held back:

Though as it's a throw away comment rather than official kickstarter update, take it as you will.

Mathieu - It was a concious choice to switch quoi for pas, although to be honest I was thinking of it more akin to a pun in English terms. I'm well aware of the ephemereal qualities of je ne sais quoi but my grasp of French is nowhere near strong enough to judge if my switch actually worked well in context. Very pleased that it seems to have worked better than I thought  Certainly wasn't expecting a comparison to Voltaire
Psychotic Storm - He did say that was the cynical side coming out there....I don't think anyone really begrudges someone going to the birth of a new family member, but allow us to extract some pleasure in the teasing of such. If this thread teaches us anything, it's surely to not be too serious

Logic doesn't really have much place in this discussion. It certainly seems to have no place in RH's super secret work flow. Hell, my work laptop would probably have got them done in less time than this.
monkeytroll wrote:Have new pics gone up yet at all?
You expected new pics so soon after they've extended the pledge manager deadline? They need to spend at least 12 hours congratulating one another and saying how good they are to the twitter weaned masses, That's not even taking into consideration the delays caused by the one person who knows how to work the render machines being off over the weekend.
I'd say we're as close to new pics now as we were when the pledge manager launched.

If the only person capable of rendering the pics is out, then they've done a piss-poor job of training their employees to cover each other.
If the only thing he has to do is place a camera in the rendering space, light it, and hit Go, then hell, just get a front and back shot of the full model and skip the up-close-and-personal shots, which really don't tell you all that much about the mini.

It's not last minute. Nothing is actually being worked on. Seriously... this is all just a bad dream.
We will wake up pretty soon and it's once again the first day after the KS project has ended. Tomorrow they'll send out pledge managers. Since all their miniatures are 80% done, they are able to deliver everything in the next 3 months.

Right now it looks like the two (entirely predictable) problems are that some of the sculpts (surprise!) look different enough from the concepts that people are changing their minds.
I will say that the IE Mecha is substantially different.
Concept,
Renders,
This is one example where, contra their usual, the look and feel of the model really seems dramatically changed from the concepts. The Death Mask in the concept is unobtrusive and doesn't register at all in the way that the render shows, where it is so large that it almost completely obscures the body.

Considering we paid for quite a few gold bars, yep.
Nice renders, but I did lock my pledge already. Probably wouldn't have changed my mind anyway. As usual the quality of sculpts is very good although the IE mecha is just... Terrible. Ludmilla also has a very... peculiar pose. Glad I ended up with the IE strategist for my inquisitor conversion.
Just makes you wonder if they managed to produce them now at the last minute could they really not have released them earlier?
