I remember seeing a lot of these concepts at the time of the original tgg kickstarter so I would surmise they should have a few renders and/or test prints

Adding in more renders or dare I say, some test prints, would greatly help with getting to those potential pledgers who are a sceptic or reluctant right now.

Also, updated OP with pics and that one gif.

I'm thinking they'll open with that, not just preview tease their former backers with it. Save it all up for a big punch right at the start of the campaign to get people wowed and really excited.

Let's hope so, I don't think concept art alone is going to cut it.

TGG has already outlasted my patience with dealing with Geedub.

I'm actually kinda the opposite here, I understand the difficulties of being a new company. What I don't want to happen is a Mantic thing where they just seek KS after KS to generate new Editions.

They have my loyalty for now. but its a wary one.

So you are happy pledging so they can afford current TGg stock, how do you expect to get the new stuff? Pledge on the third Kickstarter?

Well money is definitely NOT the problem for them. They were not producing in plastic. The costs associated with what they are doing is NOT more than it would be for any traditional metal or resin company. They made enough money on their first campaign to fund the development and production of whatever they wanted to produce for the next 4 years.

This is a marketing KS.

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, this is the saddest statement I've read in a long, long while. I hope this is not the case, for your sake if not mine.

Peace out.

But as I understand they have the money for the first. It was just locked via PayPal due to inactivity.

And as far as I see they have most of the stock for their former KS. Maybe I'm wrong.

How so? ( But maybe this is best taken to pm )

Unless they're terrible at managing their time and money.

Which, lets be honest, wouldn't be a huge stretch of the imagination based on the last one...

We all have dreams when we're young. Foolish, heartbreaking dreams.


Have they talked at all about the material they will be using? I am most interested in the spincast stuff, but I suppose a resin mini could suffice if that's the only way to get Augustina. Not since Batman and Robin have I seen such an over the top use of armored nipples.

Oh God.....you had to bring up the B&R thing didn't you. Years of therapy to bury those images down the drain.........

Welp, i love just about all the dark elf stuff (hello cult of slannesh!) and most of the sisters stuff too, so i think i'll back my very first Kickstarter.

Just as a warning, so it's been said explicitly: this KS will almost certainly deliver late. Some minis will change from concept to final product, quite possibly even after the KS closes. That being said, all the minis I have received from RH are amazing. So if it's worth that to you, knock yourself out.

Personally, I'm not going to get involved unless the sci-fi elves get way more cyberpunk or digipunk and way less demony.

They might even change even after you have locked in your choices, to be fair.

That's certainly true I think kiki was the biggest change from the original version. I expect that there will be some of that in this one.

We really don't have oos confirmation on those troops. We've got one report of that. I'll contact RH during business hours tomorrow and ask some leading questions to see if I can confirm that (with screen shots of course). I'd suggest other backers do so as well.

I think it's more than likely that their caster may well be supplying them stuff in batches rather than finishing every single example of mini A before moving onto mini B

this will allow the client to fulfil more customers sooner (as most have backed for more than a single mini),

will allow QC checking to proceed more easily which is especially important with non-recyclable spin cast resin (higher than expected failure increase production for batch 2 etc, lower than expected reduce it)

and allow for fewer moulds if their caster has more than a single machine (different employees can spin different minis at the same time without having to make extra moulds)

and allow for mould replacements (if needed, not sure if the spincast resin mould will last as well as the ones for the metals)

Well money is definitely NOT the problem for them. They were not producing in plastic. The costs associated with what they are doing is NOT more than it would be for any traditional metal or resin company.

What was said above Tre. Put down the sour grapes ay?


As for the KS, I'll back if theres a metal option. Given the low number of minis they seem to want to do per faction, this should work out quite nicely. If theres resin thought Ill leave it. The details shallower, bubbles where there should be, and I've had too many figures affected by mold shift to be buying any more resins.

If it's anything like last campaign it'll be their special resin which TGG1 backers are saying is quite excellent for troops, and then the choice between resin and metal for heroines

Sadly my Photobucket is still down, some arsewipe decided to have a bit of fun with my stuff and thus, the bandwidth has been overused. If it wasn't for that things would be a lot more..

Have you thought of setting up your own tumblr account to link images to? That might be the solution to the photobucket issue.

Darn you for getting that song back into my head! You son of Meredith Brooks' contemporary hit!


That Knight of the Chalice looks amazing. Will she likely match scale with the DFG ladies?

Could be wrong, but haven't plastic sisters been a rumour for a decade? I really wouldn't pass on this KS if that's the only thing holding you back

I'm already running a 40k one that's a hassle to do. Maybe, we'll see.

I wouldn't hold my breath. It's been what? Two decades since we got a new mini?

We got some sisters with storm bolters and I think melta guns in 2004 or something

Not to mention that plastic Immolator / Rhino kit, Repentia, Canoness and the like. Two decades is a bit much.

Friend of mine who works with GW on a project said that what he keeps hearing is there is a lot of inertia against doing Sisters because they don't sell.

At which point I said, wait, like Dark Eldar didn't sell, prior to their relaunch and expansion?

I'd be backing this if they had delivered anything to me from the first KS.

I'll be spending it instead on Wasteman KS and other stuff

If it very gets to retail - likely pick some up.......gives my painters something to do.....
