I think it's worth pointing out, if they have learned nothing else from their first campaign, this "Paypal unlocks" is quite shrewd. In the first campaign it became clear towards the end that they had "unlocked" everything (that is, they had the money to produce their stuff), but were spacing out the stretch goals to maintain interest. This was basically confirmed when they simply started unlocking things as time ticked down. I vaguely remember, when they got into the final stretch, someone asked about something that had not been explicitly unlocked and the reply was basically "uh, I guess we forgot to unlock that, consider it unlocked".

The virtue of having "paypal" unlocks is it allows at least a credible pretense that the unlocks are actually tied to money coming in.

Honestly, both campaigns are weirdly run and feel more like it's a show that's being put on than an actual structured campaign being run. Things are put out in a weird random order, with no real sense of cohesion. HQ's before troops? Wry?

From "Fake Stretch Goals" to "Fake Momentum Sustaining Unlocks" - what will they think of next!

That sums it up pretty well.

Just checking and apologies if it's been said load of times before but if I go in for a low pledg now could I increase to the lt pledge in the pledge manager and still get the benefits?

Fake Rewards, where they just run off with the money to an island somewhere.

you need to be at lieutenant to get the 15 freebie figures as the pledge manager won't let you increase your pledge level,

but you can add all the cash you want later and will benefit from the extra bits and upgrade

Thanks dude.

I want free stuff but shouldn't be spending next months gaming budget. Choices choices.

Well there goes that plan then. Fine ill just buy the freebies I wanted.

Again, I'm really quite annoyed that very few (none?) of the individual heroes will have customizable bits since they put so many bloody scifi/fantasy duplicate unlocks in this campaign that basically doubled the number of required unlocks to meet the basics. In the last campaign if I'm not mistaken the gravy, ie. added bits, was unlocked after around 500k. For TGG2 nothing but troops is getting added bits. I doubt we'll hit the gravy train since there's still a few concepts that havent been unlocked. And again, RH has a tendency to mess around a lot with the figures between concept and final product. The bits have always been the saving grace for me. Wondering whether I should lower my pledge level.

I'm just happy this finally came. I wanted plastic sisters for a while now and this will make my army. I don't know if GW will release sisters between now and may 2016 but at least I secured something.

First kickstarter I back and now I'm sad that I have to wait so long until I get my plastic crack.

Prepare to wait twice as long as you expect. And for the concepts to change over time without you having a chance to do anything about it.


Anyway, it seems that there is no minimum pledge level to get that free 10$ mini if you backed the first KS anymore? Would be pretty nice to snag that Huntress that will, inevitably, be unlocked in mysterious ways.

oh yeah it's going to be terrible. I think GW will release the official sisters and probably will look better than these girls. (seeing how awesome the admech release was)

but still, I have a lot of stuff to paint to prepare my skills.

You know this ain't plastic, right? It's nice resin and all, but it's not injection moulded plastic. A little bubbly to my taste, to be honest, for troops. I'm worried.

didn't know that. Hopefully they aren't bad. Do you own the previous models? I'm going to check out pics of them, I have only seen one guy painting them and they were nice.

If GW does release plastic sisters they MAY look good but my bet is these will still look better.

and gw is not going to release plastic sisters anyway

As weirdly unaware as RH is of the rest of the world...GW is twice as bad. I doubt GW even knows Raging Herors exists

Yeay most of the not sisters of battle stuff has unlocked, now at $715.000.

I do, I got my resin freebies and some heroines in metal. The metal is absolute ace. The resin has some bubbles, almost universally. Sure, not as bad as finecast, but small ones here and there.

I'm going to try to snap a few pictures of painted, primed and just assembled ones tomorrow if I can get into work soon enough.

And uhhhh.... is it me or is the perceived value way off between DotC command at 5 minis for 22$, vs the regular box at 3 minis for 20$?

I also appreciate that the KotC are only regular troopers, but their command structure seems to be more about climbing rocks and dancing and doing actual commanding.

With my luck, those will be some of the last sculpts available. I wonder if it would make sense for them to put a "feeler" survey out to gauge more precise interest in armies to see where they ought to go first. Instead of just SCULPT ALL THE THINGS!!!

Could we have all been mistaken and they are actually NOT just gonna unlock every thing at the end. Do my jaded eyes deceive me?

Has RH...changed?

~shocked and awed~

They will.

Don't look too surprised if the last few unlocks happen at the last minute through Paypal, it is as Buzzsaw said, quite convenient.

Just to add a second opinion I got all my heroines in spincast resin (still waiting on wave 3 but I got all the wave 1 ones and freebies) and they're pretty much flawless outside of the odd slightly bent weapon.

Third opinion if you want, got more than one hundred models in spincast resin, no trouble with the so called bubbles.

So well, it can be just bad luck.

About this Kickstarter, I don't know. Who knows what GW will do with 40k/sisters one year later? Or even two?

And I'm not really taking seriously the Raging Heroes game project. I mean, it's so obvious they make these models as "count as" for GW games - especially the SF series.

Have all the female not-terminators been unlocked?

Looks like it yeah.

Oh, they do. GW C&D'ed Raging Heroes' Lammasu model (now Manticore). Because GW created and own the concept, unlike these French thieves.

What the hell is happening with their projected "freebie value"? They went from "$200" to "$250" and now with an actual figure instead of another mascot they're calling it "$282.50"??? Is that last figure supposedly worth $40 or something?

Yes. YES! MOAR ARMOR!
Too bad I have no idea what I could use them as. What do you plan to proxy them as?

Huntress still not unlocked... not listed among the stretch goals. WTF?
