Well, assuming this isn't another "80% incident", I can finally breathe a sigh of relief as I'll be done & dusted as soon as they get the Snipers in and post them with the rest of my metal heroines.

My involvement with any future KS run by this company will be limited to admiring the lovely concept art and wondering how many of the final models will actually resemble those depictions after they've been "artisté'd".

**rayphoton**

I must be "delivery time delayed" jaded cause I never really felt a sense of irritation at how long this took.

I'll probably shovel too much money at the next KS.

**RoninXiC**

They never told us any date for the final deliverey.. at least not in this update. All they said was that the troopers are late by the factor of 2 to 3. No word about the rest of the miniatures.

**Haljin**

Groan, I don't even feel like reading through that wall of text...

Automatically Appended Next Post:

We're tracking close to our estimate from our previous Update: we were shooting for 4-5 weeks after Update 94, which would have meant shipping around this week. We've fallen a bit behind, but not by much... The following boxes:

KST Heavy Troops + KST Heavy Command Group
JB Regular Troops + JB Regular Command Group
IE Heavy Troops + IE Heavy Command Group
are going to start shipping on December 2nd, right after the American Thanksgiving week-end.

As for the remaining troops:

IE Regular Troops + IE Regular Command Group
KST Regular Troops + KST Regular Command Group
we said they would require an additional 3-5 weeks, and this estimate is still good, so we are currently looking at shipping those in late December. Additional metal Heroines will become ready at about the same time.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Duckface. Nice touch.

Still, does this artist interact with real women whose knees work like that? I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but it's in every picture and it just gets weirder and weirder. I mean, her upper half's posing for a picture and her lower half is trying to limbo. Why?

**BrookM**

Bit miffed that they added that logo to the back of her coat, looks like comrade dremel will need to be called in some time next year:

Spoiler:

My thoughts exactly, although for me it's a knife to resin.

The quote on the cloak is also annoying.

**chaos0xomega**

generally not a fan of raised details on banners/cloaks, etc. I guess its supposed to represent emroidery but the effect is always too extreme imo.... but in this case ill live with it, just want my minis damnit.

**FrothingMuppet**

The only real quibble I have on the final sculpts I've seen posted (I'm a wave 3 so wont be seeing anything for a while yet) - the edges of cloaks/jackets/anything flaring out of the body is really quite thick.

Give GW their props, they at least know how to taper a cloth edge into a sharper edge - the RH jobs look a bit roughshod and half arsed at that point while the detail capture elsewhere on the models are quite tight and refined - makes me wonder if it is a shortcoming of 3D sculpting/printing?.

GW also sculpt using software though.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Looking good,

I may be adding to my order if the 'surprise' is being able to get more stuff at KS prices

**PsychoticStorm**

I must be really tired, now the raised symbol and the odd symbol on the back registered on my brain.... not a fan...

**migooo**

I don't want to be an Doubting Thomas but We haven't seen the sculpts for the she wolves yet.

you know considering I could have had more boxes of troops for those....

The quote is annoying, but then again the sisters come with quotes of their own, so no helping that.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Of all the alternate sculpts, I do wish they'd have included a few zombie heads for troopers or artillery crews. Right now they all look like fashion models.

I was thinking of prints more than anything but I'm guessing we wont see those until they ship.

But thank you for the reminder

**Wehrkind**

Huh, missed that update. I suppose some day I will spend some cash on those. Fortunately by the time they hit retail I will probably have tenure.

Ah, but to enlist in that universe you must have walked at least a dozen catwalks and trained yourself to in these weird, knock-kneed poses.

**Jimsolo**

Now I wish I'd ordered Wolfenstein and the Shewolves.

**BrookM**

It's never too late to drop them a line and change your order.

**Jimsolo**

Yeah, but not to add to it I think.

**Desubot**

Sweet tits on a wolf.

Id love to get one but god knows how many years it will take for them to pop up for retail :/

**Jimsolo**

At this point I would be interested in buying someone's pledge if anybody's looking to get out.

**BrookM**

I'd keep an eye out for the backer surprise they got planned around the end of the year, it may be geared towards your pledge orrrrrr it may be something regarding the next KS, which is starting around that time as well.

Pledge manager re-opened for the weekend. First wave of models going on sale to the public soon.

**Haljin**

"Hey guys, remember how we sold you all this product that we haven't delivered? You can buy more now!"

Yeah, I think I'll pass. Short on money, eh? I wonder how that happened!

**BrookM**

They are offering free shipping. I am actually tempted to get some more minis now, seeing as it's still going to be a long wait before I get my Wolfenstein.

**AlexHolker**

I would buy Raging Heroes stuff ever again, but only if they go to proper plastic sprues. I still haven't found out if their restic is any good, which was the plan back in 2013.
