I agree with Dark and Swabby, it looks like the super akimbo legs are more of a modeler issue as opposed to a model issue... I am really glad I mostly skipped the jailbirds though. Maybe it's the paint job but I'm just not feeling it.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Maybe they'll look better when they are glued at a reasonable angle to the base. And in credible running positions. Geez.

I doubt it, but I want to remain open-minded. I still think some of them have hips that are too wide compared to the rest of the ribcage and shoulders.

**Azazelx**

That would pretty much be standard for most heroic-scale figures, though, no?

Well, ya know, those google translations of all the HIPS talk on these forums. They just give the people what they want.

The models look fine to me, though.

Also, people who want this beauty..

She'll be coming in a squad of five! So, yay?

Hell yes, yay!

**BrookM**

I wonder if Heresy era Terminators also come with thunder hammers and storm shields..

**Alpharius**

I think 'yes' to the Thunder Hammers but 'no' to the Storm Shields?

That is because all the woman have had corset training and corsets built into all their armor types. ^_^

If true, this makes me sad.

**Alpharius**

Well, I might be wrong!

And even if 30K Terminators don't get them 'standard', maybe there's a way to upgrade to them?

**Tannhauser42**

Imperial Fists can have TH and SS terminators. Salamanders sort of have them, but their shield is different and adds one to their invulnerable save.

**xera32**

Salamanders and Imperial Fists are the only 30k termies to get a stormshield equivalent.

Alpha Legion too.

Also, I MUST HAVE one of those big armoured girls.

It's like every internet rant post I've ever made in a model. It's glorious.

Great news, they were one of my potential allied options.

Good.

Does anyone else see more Menoth than Sororitas in some of the artwork?

I kinda agree. I'm no big PP fan, but I am interested in some of this concept art. We'll just have to see how things look once actual renders are available.

Damn straight!

**BrookM**

I fething hate Frank Miller. If anyone else but you were posting that..

**Alpharius**

He's always been a lean to the Right guy, but I still enjoy The Dark Knight Returns - even if it did make things a little too Grim and Gritty from that point forward.

And besides, that pic is way cooler now!*

*Thanks insaniak!

**BrookM**

I liked the first part of the Dark Knight Returns, the second part was waaaaaaay too flying rodent gak for me.

Man, I'd wish we'd get some more info on the KS already.

**Mymearan**

After seeing those shots, I'm really not liking this range. Most of the figures have quite strangely proportioned bodies, and they are posed in very unnatural ways that seem made to accentuate T&A above all else.

I feel the same way. I want to like the Sisters pics, but there's a little too much cheesecake, proportions are a little too weird, and half of them have these weird gigantic angular power boots that don't really fit aesthetically with anything else going on. That's what's killing me the most about the knight and the repentia at least. It's like they thought "these are basically Fantasy units, what can we do to make them more sci fi? POWER BOOTS!"

I do like Sister Reyallia.

From the latest TGG KS update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loudnraging/raging-heroes-the-toughest-girls-of-the-galaxy/posts/1171666

Why only 15 days for the TGG2 KS?

As most Kickstarter are run over a period of one month or more, it has been assumed to be some sort of norm. But when we began planning TGG2, and look at exactly how the TGG1 campaign has run, we saw some opportunities to try new things...

A few days before we launched TGG1, we had a Skype conversation with David Doust, CoolMiniorNot's boss, who said: “Your first Kickstarter is an experience you'll remember all your life”. What he meant by that is that running a Ks is extremely demanding, way beyond what anyone can imagine. Keeping the campaign shorter and trimming all the fat will help us make it a more exciting experience for you as well as keeping the whole Raging Team energized!

Some people are worried that this will result in less funds and less backers. While this might seem logical at first glance, the numbers show that this is not quite the case. The 15 days in the middle of our TGG KS campaign only constituted about 10% of the total. We believe that the excitement of a shorter campaign will make up for it, and will be more fun for everyone! Because, after all, it ain't all about the money!

Also, scroll down the page for banners and a trailer: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loudnraging/raging-heroes-the-toughest-girls-of-the-galaxy/posts/1171666

I would post those on their website itself, rather than just for the backers to see. I realize the update is public, but not everyone stalks their last KS' page like... some of us do.

The "TGG2: Darkness and Light" Kickstarter

We've seen on some forums that a few people were concerned about what we wrote in our last Update regarding the fact that we wanted to launch our new Kickstarter now. For example: “You've got money troubles and we'll never see any minis / you're going to grab the money from the new Ks and close down!”.

Well. It looks like our wording in our last Update was clumsier than usual

When we wrote “We need to launch this new Kickstarter now”, it's NOT because we have run out or are presently running out of money! It's because we have a full team of artists who've been working on TGG2 for a while now, and whom we want to retain: good artists are hard to find, and we've got to keep them working on new stuff.

Money-wise, Raging Heroes has never been in a better shape. As you will have noticed, in the previous update, we are expanding and recruiting new members for the team because the demand for the TGG at retail level is constantly growing! Releasing the TGG every month throughout 2015 is way enough to keep the company running healthily, and meeting any unexpected expenses if need be.

Some people have also said that we were going to be using the funds from TGG2 to pay our suppliers and complete TGG1. This is completely FALSE. Funds for our TGG1 suppliers have long been set aside and allocated for all our suppliers, so we are in good financial shape here too.

In fact, what is happening is exactly the opposite. The TGG1 funds have contributed to TGG2: the totality of the design work, + a big chunk of the preparation, sculpting work for a first wave of TGG2.

We are now at a stage where every action we take on one project also supports another one: when, with your backing, we created the TGG KS, we developed a big catalogue of new products. When we started selling a few products at retail last December, it allowed us to secure some extra funds to make it possible to have a bonus shipment wave for the Freebies that is happening right now at no extra charge for you!

So, in a way, the retail customers have gifted you an extra shipping wave. And in the same way, the money for TGG1 allowed us to prepare a bigger Kickstarter for TGG2. And whatever its outcome, the mass of work that has been generated through this is making the company stronger. This will also continue to flow back to you as it will allow us to develop more cool stuff like follow-ups to the JB, IE and KST, as well as games and more.

I guess one could call it a virtuous circle, as every new project reinforces the previous one. And this is also exactly what Kickstarter is about: helping creators get a kickstart on their projects

I just copy-pasted it from the newsletter I got moments ago.

**Haljin**

Forgot we have two threads now..

A couple print screens I took from theirtrailer.

**BrookM**

Many thanks!

**-iPaint-**

Grabbed some more full-scale model shots from their teaser as well:

I hadn't planned on pledging anything, but may do a small pledge if there's a decent variety of models on offer.

If anything, the post-KS wait will be familiar.

I'm in for some heroines and a unit of the armored bad ass girls.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Well good for them being honest for once.

Although eventually, they are going to have to let someone go, they can't go from KS to KS just to satisfy their artists, although I this point I understand the need to keep them.

Although, if they could offer them a game design seminar, they could re-orient them...
