For freebies or the final wave?

**RoninXiC**

Probably freebies ...

**KalashnikovMarine**

Of the freebies, does Jaeda Kano seem out of scale/out of proportion to any one else?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

I think she feels she has more Heroic proportions than several of the others but not enough to worry me (especially if she ends up as just a torso sticking out of a vehicle)

I do wonder if she's a sculpt that made it through largely unchanged from the initial set they did?

It will be interesting to compare her to the KST troops/heavy troops

**KalashnikovMarine**

Yeah... the material she's made with feels different too. At least on mine.

Quite possible - comparing her next to the Natasha model, it looks like two completely different sculptors may have worked on those models. It also could have been a scaling issue when getting the model printed. Taken in isolation, there's probably some discrepancies, but when combined with other models/in a tank, it's probably less apparent.

Edit: Here's a good link that shows the freebies: http://frothingmuppet.blogspot.com/2015/03/063-kick-stater-toughest-girls-of.html

Asked more about TGG1 and what's the status there along with a few more heralds. We got the following Info:

Everything is printed, casting is moving well. We received last week several videos from the foundry - this is how we first review the initial master casts for several models, and I believe we even received new physical prototypes in the mail yesterday for approval. The foundry is also currently casting the full volume of troops to fulfill the entire Kickstarter, and I've got new packers in every day assembling them in bags of 5... We also received 2 heavy boxes of metal to complete our Heroine casts. And I've got a couple of new people in to continue sorting and outputting the Rewards Selection that are becoming complete with the new shipments coming in.

Drivers are separate from the bikes and trikes

Connoisseur pledge: The last batch of the poured resin minis is being worked on now, i am awaiting the last few prototypes to give their go ahead.
We will then get a nice packaging for them, and ship that out. Nepharya 54mm and the Printed Art Book will be shipped out separately.

They're doing up a TGG1 backer update for near future release.

**Mathieu Raymond**

I'm sure they could have just updated the list...

I never got a single shipping notice for all the times I got stuff from them.

**BrookM**

One of the three reviews I wrote for the minis I got has found its way onto their site, it's von Stroheim.

**rayphoton**

see they do love you brook.......now.

Can we see the rest of your commissar image?

**BrookM**

I posted it here, two weeks ago.

**rayphoton**

Ahh I missed that post....thanks. She looks good. Minature is coming soon? eh eh ....Brother vinni only charges like 400 I think

**Mathieu Raymond**

Yeah, but he can be a hassle to get a hold of, ask Cyp.

**Jehan-reznor**

Any news on the mecha or the PDF artbook? or are RH just going Lalala can't hear you the sound of the new Kickstarter is deafening.

**RoninXiC**

Nope.. nothing so far.

**Mathieu Raymond**

I was re-reading some of the old updates (not a favourite pastime of mine, I was looking for renders of a certain mini) and they did mention the artbook.

Supposedly, they polled their backers (or at least those that aren't persona non grata) and everyone was in agreement that instead of showing the art, people wanted to see painted minis in the artbook instead. Now I hope they do both. But, yeah, the artbook might be the last thing to ever make it out of this campaign.

**BrookM**

It's still a long way off then, as so far only a few minis have been painted up and with several kits still out in the open, some time yet.

As stated above, art and painted minis will be in the artbook, so they have to finish everything else. Mecha and all the other remaining minis are processing through the foundrys.

**RoninXiC**

So thats another 10 weeks before we'll have them?

**KalashnikovMarine**

Your guess is as good as mine mate.

**BrookM**

Quite a generous estimate, but I think they'll have a post-campaign vacation first, to recover from being glued to the screen 24/7.

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

I'm pretty sure they won't finish sending out K1 stuff before they start shipping K2 stuff.

**Mathieu Raymond**

I hope one of your assumptions in that estimate was that they would ship K2 as planned, in a mere year.

Which won't happen. Unless they consider the first shipped mini to a single backer who pledged for only that mini a success.

**BrookM**

This time round, my bad mojo, karma or whatever won't influence the progress of the campaign either.

**Haljin**

So, all things are actually in resin casting now? Meaning this nightmare will end this year?

Thankfully I have put down 50$ for their new campaign to make sure the delightful ride never ends.

By the way, those Wolves have some really huge.... mammaries? That is wandering into quite dangerous territory, I'm glad I didn't want those.

**KalashnikovMarine**

The shewolves look great! I'm excited to get mine.

**Thor665**

I kept flip-flopping on them myself. With 40k being my only real TTG that ended up ruling them out due to lack of a 'counts as' option.

I do agree that they look good though.

I did get my box o' freebies this week though - huzzah!

**Bullockist**

I still can't figure out how I'm supposed to fit all these fiddly bits together without my exemplary glueing abilities obstructing all the detail whilst having the miniatures collapse into 375 pieces when they get hit by the air tsunami caused by a blink. Are they even pinnable?

**Wehrkind**

Wait... where are the she wolves? I wasn't aware there was an actual model to be seen there yet. (And I really want to know if I want to own them...)
