Raging Heroes.

Raging Heroes are another small producer of quality miniatures that deserved a mention. They do some lovely 28 and 54mm scale hero models and a couple of beasties, of which the Manticore is the nicest in my opinion:

They also do a couple of sci-fi models, one of Asharah and a Commissar style sculpt.

The manticore is awesome. A very nice quality sculpt and product. I'd say it is ideal for a vampire or dark elf army, just due to the size of the rider model. It is a very slight build. I got it for my WoC army with the intent of using chaos knight legs to fit it to the manticore. Too bulky. The legs for the original rider are too slight to support a WoC armored torso.
I haven't had time to work on him in a while, but I will probably use the new GW tzeentch sorcerer since he had spindly legs that are easily manipulated in place.

Cut off the stupid horns and that's an ideal Ariel model for WE.

Does anyone happen to own any of these and can take a side-by-side comparison with some other figs. Not everyone's 28mm is always the same.

I own the Ashara and the Manticore. Unfortunately they are packed up in storage since I am moving.

I would say the scale for Ashara is comparable to a dark eldar wych or succubus. The rider for the Manticore is smaller than my chaos warriors, but would probably be right for dark elves. The manticore itself is shorter than the GW version, but only due to the awesome pose.

If you look on the Raging Heroes site, they have a lot of pics that show size comparisons to known bases.

Raging heroes posted a WIP of an Orc Warmaster:

Still no WIP of their evil female regiment though.

Nice models, but i hate the fact so many moddlers are clearly designing things for Warhammer, which can never be used in a Games workshop store

[eldargal]

This is why I recommend joining/starting a games club, if at all possible, so such things don't matter.:)

Gotta admit I'm loving the Standard Bearer they've released to accompany Asharah. Two naked elven princesses chained together and taken into battle as a trophy and to incite her enemies to try and claim them, very cool concept.

Utterly beautiful mini.

[eldargal]

Yup, bought two, one for my Dark Elf army and one for my Dark Eldar. Really lovely. Looking forward to the blood vestals, too.

I have all the models pictured here and i must say they are really well done. Only downside is that some of the detail is a royal pain to pick out well painting! Oh and you can get away with these in a GW store if they mix in well enough with the rest of your army. (I have had staff and ex-staff think they are better due to there being no good female vampire models really....)

I like the raging heroes lines, I hope one of my distros pick it up.

I know we have been discussing it in news and rumours, but it also belongs here so:

Raging Heroes have just put up for sale (pre-order as of 25/3) their Blood Vestals and BV Command, aka Witch Elf proxies:
