all you naysayers are crazy

the expensive and professional camera setup is being used to take the pic of a guy taking a pic.
You can tell by the awesome light and grain filters they used.
the only thing better would be if there was a professional video crew recording the guy taking the pictures of the guy taking pics of the models. It would be like Inception!

Worst of all, it all makes sense.

That explains allot then.

That particular mini is going to be hell in metal. It'll be very easy to break... so glad I didn't get it.

I can't tell which one it is?

Looks like one of the psykers.

Why BS? Just look at RH. They clearly have no idea how to run a business. They know how to sculpt , they are really good at it, but they fail at every other aspect. I think it' s mostly because it seems so easy - just sculpt a few things, cast it and send it off. Then money starts flowing your way, you have to do stretch goals (after all everybody has them!) and you start promising more and more not thinking much about how can you deliver this on time. I think it's mostly due to lack of experience on how to run such projects.

You realise that Raging Heroes have been in business for more than a couple of years preceding this KS, right? By all accounts they were doing ok at the least. These aren't the first models they've created under their own banner in order to sell.

The issues at work here are clearly over-confidence, poor overall communication (they're fine via email, but the updates are awful) and most of all - an incredibly over-ambitious project for their own timeline. I hope for their own sake that they complete this project to 100% before starting their next one - and perhaps tone down the scale and overpromising by just a tad. Maybe 80%?

Oh yes, I'm perfectly aware of that. To me at least running a good business is also knowing what your limitations are and they clearly got carried away as we seem both to agree on. Too rapid expansion can kill companies and as much as RH has been an annoyance, I would not like to see them go. They do make some quality stuff. It just seems they cannot really handle the scale.

Ill let you knows know how it is then.

From the KS comments


"Thanks for contacting us.
We are currently finalizing the production of the 2nd wave. Our foundry is really busy with all the troops right now as it represents a good amount of minis to cast at once.
After that, the 3rd wave will be faster and easier.
Hopefully, we will be ready to start the 2nd wave at the end of the month .
Does it help?
Cheers,
Ana
Raging Heroes Team"

Wait whut? So troops are back into Wave 2 now? I thought they'd pushed all the troops to Wave 3 except for the snipers, and they'd be sending out Wave 2 packages as soon as those were ready. Also, that's 2015 for Wave 2 confirmed then, for most people at least, because no way in hell are packages sent from France at the end of November going to arrive before Christmas anywhere except in France.

Everything you've been told is a lie..

All kidding aside, well...I don't know.

To quote the always amazing Billy Dee Williams: This deal's getting worse all the time.

Man, betwee this campaign and Dreamforge, I am on such a nostalgia-fueled Golden Girls binge right now.

Thank you for being a friend.

Why does this thread remind me of one long alcohol fulled bender?

What's that?

The super fancy primo gak that's not meant for regular painting peasants.

The details from that could be...interesting.

Well, I'm last in whatever pecking order this stuff is. So, before Bretonnians or after?

They'll start the webinar and then stop and tell you they have to restart it from scratch, and it'll be better next time. That'll go on for at least three iterations and then you'll feth off because you're such a lowly peasant, like the rest of us.

I actually paid to attend that and it was, IMHO, actually interesting, especially if you went in to that with little to no knowledge of ZBrush. Sadly, there was nothing in the ~5 hour session that I saw that supports the crazy theories I see in this thread everyday

Edit: Attending the webinar was a pledge level unto itself and it was also available as an add-on. It wasn't just for the masochists suckers backers who went for the connoisseur box

New update is out. Them Zombies look fantastic.

I liked Nertha's look before they toned down the pregnant belly.

I missed the webinar unfortunately.

I actually second this - I had plans for her in my Slaanesh Lost and Damned army.
