From what they've said the first one is in no danger whatsoever.

Really digging Sephea. The first freebie I've been excited about.

She might make a good Klaivex.

I guess I'm just a tad cranky that I'm still waiting on my wave to ship. They did send out my freebies with an advert for the new kickstarter which arrived in my mailbox the day the new kickstarter went live. 14 awsome minis! However I will wait to buy TTGG2 retail.

I can wholly understand the sentiment, it's never cool to be waiting for something, without any word on what's what, while they're holding up their hands for the next one.

At least you have had something I haven't had a single figure yet.

**shamikebab**

I hope they alter the pose slightly for that one when the figure is done, it's a bit....bum sticking out randomly.

The notion that purity enhances magical potential is hardly limited to sexual purity.

The very notion of sexual purity is the problem…

I just don't think picking a fight over Dolarys's virginity is one with any real ground to stand on.

I am going to stop at facepalm. Maybe, maybe, if I pledge to get that one unit with the big cool armor, I will leave them a comment about it, just to bring it to their mind if they had just not thought about it, but I certainly will not go further than that.

Apparently, many do here. I love my Sithrak t-shirt, and I always wonder if people know where it comes from or not

To be fair, virginity meaning never having had sex is a new concept. The original virgins (who worshiped Virgo) were sexually EMPOWERED women who could take any lover they wanted as part of their worship. The Christians later wiped them out and claimed the power of the word for their particular faith to assist in conversion. That meaning of the word drastically changes original dogma, and the meaning/ appearance of this mini.

The more you know!

It's not a combatant. It's an executioner. It looks like it's leaning on its executioner's axe. The butt sticking out is just a bit of a casual leaning pose added in with some artistic titillation.

Complaining about the over-sexualization of women in any capacity in any of this company's campaigns seems a bit forced.

That was my impression as well. Kinda reminded me of this.

None. Just questioning the relevancy of mentioning the oracle is virgin.

Read up on History and ever heard of the Virgin Mother? The whole Virgin concept is a big thing in Catholic lore.

**RoninXiC**

Only 12k made last day. Going slow as usual. Shame, "want" all the minis :x

Maybe, maybe the idea here at least as much about showing no mortal man could be the father, and it really was God who was the father, you know.

Hmm which originals are you talking about - the Vestal Virgins were relatively powerful but in a very male dominated society - women of Rome could and did have power but usually expressed through compliant or co-operative husbands, brothers, lovers etc.

The Vestil Virgins could be burried alive if found to have lovers - they could however do exactly what they wanted when they fnished their term in office - 30 years IIRC and usually married.

Or are you talking about a different Sect / Cult?

**keltikhoa**

In case you missed it, the Daughters of the Crucible command group have now been unlocked. Yay now bring on the Knights and Daughters (troopers)

Didn't Nero sleep with loads of them?

There were loads of powerful women in Rome Livia, Cleopatra, Agrippina to name a few.

**BrookM**

Look, a piglet!

Look at it.

LOOK.

AT.

IT.

Now then, could we get back on topic please and take all the other discussion elsewhere please?

**shamikebab**

Thought that was today's freebie for a moment.

Good to see the daughters unlocked, love the look of them.

**BlackTalos**

whaaaaaaa?

I suppose the Virginity talk is slightly off-topic... but not by much, i mean we are talking about models in a religious theme?

So what have the replies to the Lust Elves Mascots been? I put up the question on the comments section and picked my favourite

**barnacle111**

So daughters of the crucible could be used for what in a sob army?

I hate all of their mascots so far, so I said it should be a woman, or a woman with a pet, not another animal.

**KalashnikovMarine**

Here's the digest version of the Q&A going on in the Herald forum. Seems you lot make up most of the questions

"Can people "piggyback" on other people's pledges to save on shipping? ie 2x Lieutenant, Lieutenant + Captain, etc?"
No.
"Can people pledge a buck now and upgrade to a higher tier pledge later in the PM?" "Will there be a Paypal option?" "How long will it be open?"
They will be able to upgrade while the Paypal option is open (it will be open towards the end of the campaign, and will stay open only for a limited time), but in the PM, they will only be able to add new minis, not jump up to other Pledge Levels.
However, pledging outside the KS campaign saves us the KS fee, but deprives backers of more stretch goals so it's a tricky balancing act...
"Is there any kind of reasoning between the stretch goals? "
Yes.
"They seem completely random."
Not quite.
"Wouldn't building up on the basic troopers then going after the stranger and rarer minis make more sense?"
It might for some. But that is not necessarily what most people want and, globally, the way the campaign is trending, all the basic troopers should end up unlocked.
"A big request from several folks is they'd like non-human sized models to be given a scale, such as the Spider Mother, Centaurs, Avatar of Shaah, etc."
Done! See bottom of Update #4: http://bit.ly/TGG2-04
"Follow up, people want to know if they'll be able to purchase more of the freebies as add ons. I figured that would be the case like it was for TGG1, but wanted to get confirmation."
Yes, all Freebies will also be available for selection as add-ons.

I was thinking on 2 possible ways to use them :
- Fast Attack : some kind of scout with the n°1 freebie, with a deep strike rule, low armor saving but rules about avoiding damages
- Elites/QG as bodyguards

As for the Kight of the Chalice, rather than Celestian, I think I will make some kind of Terminator Sister Squad, this will be just awesome!

**pretre**

That's not an SOB army at that point though...

You could even just use the rules for Allied Terminators

**Erty2100**

Not from SoB codex I agree.

But when you check the lore of the SoB, they seems a lot to be like an unstopable faithfull army, what is better to incarnate unstopable power than a Terminator squad?

For most part, yes the SM rules of Terminators could aply, I would just change the special rules, to fit something more closer to SoB spirit.

Basically with the current SoB army you don't really have differences between units (at least it is my point of view). I think if we have the chance to see a new SoB codex, it is very likely that we will see more specialized units.
