A shade under 260k after around 15 hours, not at all bad. It will be interesting to see how well RH manage to keep its momentum going.

My sense is that this will flatten out rapidly - there has been a several-month wait in anticipation for this KS, and people have been wanting to buy for a while. At this point, it's going to really depend on what unlocks become "must" have.

Right now RH is more expensive than GW metal (what little GW still sells) and more expensive than GW FailCrap. If they can't get the price down, there won't be a huge bump at the end from the value players wanting to buy entire Girl Guard armies.
Of course it will flatten out, that is what miniature Kickstarters do. The only one I'm aware of that didn't is Reaper Bones. But with 20 heroines and 30 troops boxes to unlock plus free additions stretch goals they have a lot of way of keeping momentum going. We haven't even reached the stage where people realise that more stretch goals being met mean more freebies.

As to price, you're spouting bollocks. Finecast characters are 16-19.25USD metal are 13.25 to 20. The exception being the eldar range which is 8.50, going by a quick look at US GW. Raging Heroes KS characters are 10USD with 16USD RRP. Finecast troop models are are 6.87usd each (Aspect Warriors) while RH Ks troops are 3 each with a RRP of 3.6, all estimated retail but in line with what RH currently charge. It varies a bit depending on currency but RH miniatures are usually cheaper or roughly the same as GW and are very similar in quality unlike most of GWs competitors.

So which army/armies are you planning on getting from this thing EG? I can't afford to back it for much, so will likely just be getting that Kurganova sniper character or the Jailbird heavy gunner Cruz. Can't decide which to pick yet.

eldargal

06-05-2013, 03:47 AM

I'm getting mostly Kurganova shock troops and Iron Empire, hopefully enough to make 1500pts for 40k each. Plus enough jailbirds to make a squad or two of penal troopers. I'll probably get all the heroines and most likely will end up trading some support choices for more troops, only need a couple of artillery.

Is it cynical of me to suggest that the explosive popularity of yesterdays kickstarter may have altered the stretch goal levels that were initially intended?
I have no basis for this, just wondering as there initial funding requirement was 12k and they seem overwhelmed by the response. There are still many units to unlock, like the bikes and mecha ( can't wait! ), so they must have been hoping for a pretty good response.

I'm just trolling really. I hope this thing goes nuclear. I'm just in need of updates, freebies an un-locks and I want them now!

eldargal

06-05-2013, 05:52 AM

Nope that's normal for Kickstarters. As more people pledge more figures have to be made to cover pledges plus freebies and stretch goals so expenses increase so stretch goals get further apart.

This is my 14th miniatures kickstarter so I get the game. I'm just evilly suggesting that someone might move the goal posts when faced with such an explosion of cash. I guess I'm suggesting it as it's what I would have been tempted to do :)

Nepharya was unlocked at 200k and she is already designed, done and dusted, so i'm suggesting they knew they were gonna hit that with ease.

I'm just frustrated cause I want more images and updates :mad:

Hulk sad :(

eldargal

06-05-2013, 06:16 AM

There are a lot that hasn't been designed though and some that doesn't even have concept art up. There is also the fact that if they didn't stretch out the stretch goals a bit more they could run out of stuff well before they intended to. It's not really sneaky, more pledges mean more models to make so whether the moeny is going to Nepharya or something else it doesn't matter.

But your reasoned brand of level headedness is not want I want right now ;)
I want BLAH BLAH BLAH, freebies, BLAH BLAH BLAH, stretch goals!

I have a real penchant for snipers and bikers and my pledge might skyrocket if these are good.

I'm hoping by the end of the run we have details about their proposed game. They sound like they have real ambitions for the future of their company. I'm excited for them.

God, the comments section of the Kickstarter is pathetic. It's been up 24 hours and the three people at RH were up late and people are already whining about a lack of communication for gods sake. Not to mention the hysterics from people who don't understand how miniature Kickstarters get more expensive to produce the more pledges there are.

Nope, not saying anything against you.:) There is a difference to voicing concerns and constantly complaining about it and doubting the explanations given by the Heralds. Also there was one guy claiming he knew for a fact the cost to RH didn't increase as more people pledged for gods sake.:rolleyes: It's really irritating, not going to look at it anymore. I just hope it doesn't put pledgers off and that RH get on top of things once it's settled down.

GW's Tallarn Desert Raiders (which I use) are $40 for 10 = $4 each.

The RH KS price is 31 models for $188 = $6 each.

GW metal is cheaper than Raging Heroes.

I had kickstarter's remorse today on the way home from work. I did the $245 level last night but had second thoughts and went through my finances and I can't dig up the money lIke I did with Reaper Bones last fall. I hope it does well, I just can't give up that kind of cash this summer without eating into the vacation fund.

The $165 + $23 S&H is supposed to be the "sweet spot", where stretch goals appear. This is dramatically higher than the $150 Rivet Wars wanted, and we all know how well that went. IMO, RH will have hurt themselves by not having the sweet spot closer to $100, where the real money resides. But then, they are a smaller outfit, and comfortable with smaller production runes, so going super huge may not be important for them.

Still bollocks, you're lumping all characters and troops together to get a higher average. Try addins a similar number of GW character models to the Desert Raiders kit and averaging the price. Adding al'Rahem alone increases the average to 5.

Whatever. You're going on my ignore list because very post of yours I read is just petulant nonsense and whatever you're trying to do to twist things so RH look more expensive than GW is pathetic.

So the RH Kickstarter had 39k for it's second day which is quite respectable given the lack of communication and updates. Hopefully things will tick along a bit slower and steadier from now on.

They have just posted a big update and explained in it why they were kinda quiet, apparently that is what they were advised to do by Kickstarter themselves! Weird, but they have said they will be updating more frequently now as that is what people want.

Also seeing those Tallarn figures makes me sad, really wish GW would do them and Valhallan's in plastic. Much prefer those armies to boring Catachans and Cadians.

They did mention they had a gut feeling they should update more frequently, but this is their first foray into KS, they just listened to the consultant, not to mention they were in shock at how well the first day had gone. They have been answering to e-mails quicky though. I sent them one and got a response in about 2 hours. I managed to get a Early Bird Commander, looking forward to a gender wide Catachan army with the Jailbird Division, it will look epic!

You continue to fail with apples to oranges comparison.

As I noted above, those 10 Tallarn are equivalent to:
2 Heroines ($10 each)
6 Troops ($15 for 5 = $3 each)
2 Support ($15 set)
= 10 models for $53 total

To count that as 10 Troops means that you're ignoring the Specials and Support which cost more.

Now I know you've all moist over Raging Heroes doing girls, but you're getting hormonal here and failing to be rational.

GW's Tallarn set is $40 total. It is a clearly better value than Raging Heroes. Acknowledge it and move on, like a big girl.

Maybe don't imply that the only reason a woman gets upset is due to hormones? Pretty stupid thing to say.

You do sort of have a point though, as the troop sets for the Raging Heroes only includes basic weapons, the special weapons are all charcter models so far and the support weapons are extra too. Add in the S&H costs and they're not cheaper. They will probably end up being nicer, more modern models though, I love the Tallarn, I'm old and have fond memories, but they're dated. We've not yet seen anything showing what the troops should look like, but I have no doubt the charcters will be very good sculpts, based on previous RH stuff.

I just wish they weren't all in knee-high boots with boob armour and their stomachs out. They're doing three factions, couldn't they have done one that was a bit more sensibly dressed?

ChacoStylez

06-06-2013, 12:44 PM

@GrauGeist I believe you aren't reading all of the descriptions on the troops options, example:

To make a 10 person squad, like your Tallarn, you would only need to get the Regular Troopers box, which does have basic infantry, but you would also get the Command Group box, which gives you the option to make a Sergeant with two (2) heavy weapon options. You don't need to pick up the heroines and the support set to match your example of a Tallarn squad.

I believe this is what Eldargal was trying to explain.

Oh, and by the way, the whole "hormonal" thing, and calling someone irrational, after seeing it was just a misunderstanding, makes you look like a sexist idiot, have a bit more respect towards women.

So, updates:

The Toughest Girls of the Galaxy Kickstarter just got better!

As we mentioned in our previous update, we are working very hard at upgrading the campaign to match the outstanding yet (for us) unexpected level of popularity it has already enjoyed.

As some of you may remember, initially, we had come up with a very flexible pledge system based on a credit system, but Kickstarter asked us to modify it as they felt it was not compatible with their guidelines. So we had to scramble to create an alternative system, that, for various reasons, had to become more rigid.

But we are now in a position where we can introduce total flexibility!
From this moment and going forward, you can now swap between Troops and Supports as you wish within your pledge level.

For example, say you have 10 x $15 Troops (or $150 worth of Troops) + 8 x $15 Supports (or $120 worth of Supports), you now have $270 worth of a combination of Troops and Supports.
This means, for example, that
(10 x $15 Troops) + (8 x $15 Supports) =
18 x $15 Troops =
18 x $15 Supports =
10 x $15 Troops + 3 x $20 Troops + 2 x $15 Support + 1 x $30 Support.
Basically, any combination of Troops and/or Supports worth $270 will work.

But wait, that's not all.
We have also done something for the Heroines too.
Going forward, you will now be able to swap 3 Heroines for 2 Troops or or 2 Supports, or 1Troops+1Support, or vice-versa.

All in all, this means that you can now swap Heroines, Troops and Supports provided the same overall dollar value is maintained.
As @Joe Faella put it: "You can just add the values from your pledge together, and spend them any way you want."
And as @Psychotic Storm added: "Spend the total as you like."

New stretch goal:
http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/ad27/Raging-Heroes/TGG/STRETCH-380-Hilda-von-Stroheim_zps740fe8f7.jpg

Lady Hilda von Stroheim is a military genius.
But she's also a free spirit who won't take orders from anyone.

When she was still a very young officer, she disobeyed orders many times to save her comrades from destruction and lead them to glorious victories.

Normally, she should have been dishonorably discharged from the army and thrown in jail. But the impact of her military prowess as well as her noble filiation stood in the way.
So Hilda was transferred to a fairly non-active outpost.

Instead of disappearing into oblivion, she used this as an opportunity to train the troops under her command to an elite level. She then took it upon herself to have them crash in the middle of battles without actual marching orders.

And each time, she brought unexpected triumph to the Empire.

The very strict Iron Empire hierarchy had not choice but to eventually consider her as a necessary evil and unofficially affect her to desperate missions and causes.

She is the only Iron Empire Officer without an actual rank, but with incommensurate power.

At first I was a little bummed out the Jailbirds have the fewest heroines, but now, at the pace the KS is going, they will all be unlocked by the end, which is way better in my book. Some size comparisons to some 40K I.G. Would be nice, to see if the Jailbirds go well next to some Catachan. Also, if the mecha will be a good substitute size wise to a Sentinel.

Really don't get the popularity of this, yeah the miniatures are nice but just don't get why you would want units of all busty women, can't really integrate them with other units due to the different aesthetics , each to their own.
Who gives a crap about integration? Some of us just want female IG like the background say there are. The sculpts are beautiful and some of us are actually female who are fed up with a complete neglect for female models by certain major companies.

It's the first model I've seen that really matches most of the Ad Mech artwork, and might even prompt me to make a techpriest next time I roll up a Rogue Trader character.

Who gives a crap about integration? Some of us just want female IG like the background say there are. The sculpts are beautiful and some of us are actually female who are fed up with a complete neglect for female models by certain major companies.

Yeah, what she said.

I'm in love with these minis because they are female...and they look as if the person sculpting them has actually seen a female. Not only do certain major game companies neglect female characters (good luck finding decent character avatars if you play RPs like Only War), the miniatures they do produce are poorly proportioned and frequently have very harsh faces (the sculpts of PP Sorscha are tragic when compared with the art work of her). I am delighted to see female miniatures that do not make me feel insulted. As to integration? Um, our family is planning an all female Imperial Guard army, no integration needed.

I am psyched that they are finally showing the 3D renders, but I am also disappointed in the proportions of certain areas. I hope they don't stick to a heroic scale for proportions and scale it down just a bit.
The renders always look more heroic than the finished sculpts. I had similar concerns over the original Blood Vestals but they were perfectly proportions when they arrived.:) Having said that these are WIPs and RH have said they are taking note of the feedback they are getting so expect changes. I must admit I can't see how people think they look stubbier than the concept art, if anything I think they look less stubby.

Gotthammer

06-14-2013, 11:19 PM

Looks to me pike the renders have slightly larger helmets and breastplates with shorter waists. Most noticeable on the centre heavy trooper if you look at where her arm position (especially her elbows/wrists) relative to her waist and the angle she's holding her rifle.
To he specific her right forearm in the art is pointing down a lot more but her wrist is above / on her belt, while the render is almost horizontal and looks on or below the belt.
Mind you this could be due to the angle of the POV, as the art seems to be looking up at them.more than the renders.

Would be a cool thing if they did a variety of breastplate sizes though rather than all identical.

Karmina Nox is one of my favourite sculpts too, really looking forward to seeing her 3D sculpt and print. Showing off the art and 3D prints seem to have had the desired effect though, the Kickstarter has made up the small amount of ground lost over the past day or so and has started ticking up again. 3D prints of one of the troopers should boost things further once people know the proportions will be fine.

Currently at 454.5k going into the final week. Given how Kickstarters usually behave it has a shot at hitting 1mil which would be nice, I'm expecting 7-800k myself.

Kamin_Majere

06-30-2013, 03:21 AM

I'm firmly in the 600k-700k court, they just opened up Paypal as an option so that will cause an influx of cash and once they finally reveal the mechs and other still silhouetted models that will help a ton.

My only problem is they dont have a large enough pledge... i'm hoping the new higher pledge levels show up soon because the Iron Empire needs more bodies :) (especially since i'm getting a ton of the other heroines just to paint because I love their artwork and the sculpts should be amazing)

They have made a killing on this one though, with the original 12K needed we have managed to back them almost 8K per figure they are releasing so they should have no issues unlocking everything on the list i hope.

After this they need to get to work on the other armies and in a few months get ready for another kick starter with The Dark Elves, The Sisters of Eternal Mercy, and another army (light elves maybe) to give 6 factions for their up and coming rule set :) yes i'm greedy

#42 is one of the many cyber zombies used by the Iron Empire. Most of them are completely interchangeable, having lost all form of human consciousness and individuality. But as unthinkable as it may seem, there appears to be a very small light still flickering in the mind of #42.

She used to be a very strong-willed Jailbird warrior who got killed during a particularly violent Iron Empire raid. Her body was scavenged by the Iron Empire embalmers who set her alongside the most promising victims of their grim harvest. Her body was still in a very good condition and her strong musculature made her a perfect choice to be recycled as a bodyguard for a high-ranking character.

When Lady Hilda von Stroheim asked for a full replacement of her bodyguard crew, #42 was appointed to her service and soon proved to be her most effective protector.

As mentioned Paypal is now a payment option and there are some new free upgrades for the artillery kits

As per raging heroes the next 3 days will include a lot more freebies and "special" releases. I cant wait to see what they have in store, that bloody eminence package is calling my name harder and harder every day... not sure if i can resist it for 68 more hours. I have to balance my want of all these amazing models with the real threat of death my wife will hang upon my head if I splurge on 1500 dollars of miniatures in one day.

Yeah the Jet Girls squad is pretty much in the bag I would say, or I should say I will be surprised if they don't raise the 12K needed to unlock them before it ends. The 600K and above I'm skeptical on because i fear they waited to late to do this "stretch list" and while Raging Heroes have done really well in keeping us all updated i think this should have been out at the 7 days left mark so the crowd could nibble at goals for the last week of the project.

Either way this has been a phenomenal Kickstarter for them and they will have the funds to do quite a bit for their TGotG armies even if we don't get all the shiny's before time runs out. I'm pretty sure we will see it hit 600K but beyond that I'm not sure... 630K would be nice as that will at least get all of the armies trikes opened up and if the project hits that I'm just going to have to bite the bullet on the Eminence Pledge as I would love to get 3/6 of those on top of the biker squad I'm already getting (plus it would give me the room to get a few of the extras I was wanting but cant convince myself to splurge at the moment)

That is true, I guess having bought from Raging Heroes before I'm spoiled because I already know what we will be getting compared to the artwork (usually insanely close) But for everyone else yeah 3D renders and printings will help quite a bit.

Raging Heroes politely putting the boot into some of the critics in their latest update:

Question: “So we will have to spend our pledge based on the concept sketches for some of the characters/troops/mechs etc? Just asking because I know I, personally, am on the fence about several heroines and the mecha until I see how they look in 3D. After the unveil of the Kurg heavy troops, too, there was a lot of mixed opinion on the transition from concept to sculpt. People will be pretty hacked off if they spend their pledge on a concept then the print is subtly different to the point they don't like it”

Asharah Raging: “I'm not sure what to tell you. Compared to most other companies, our sculpts are very very very close to the concepts. But there will always be subtle changes to make sure that the models are castable and not too fragile. And please remember that we showed the models of the Troops BEFORE THEY WERE FINISHED. We will make sure NEVER to do that again. We did that mainly because of scale issues on which we wanted people's feedback. This means that these renders were shown mostly to help us get a better feel for what the backers were looking for in terms of proportions and scale, and some details were clearly stated to be unfinished. We were VERY clear about that, but nevertheless, many people did not bother to read the comments, drew many mistaken conclusions about these images, and shared them with everyone.

To be able to produce such a large quantity of sculpt at the same time, we have a very specific workflow.
One of its particularities is that we do not develop each sculpt individually and one after the other.
Instead, we work on large sections of the product range all at once.
So, when we write that “80% of the sculpting process is done”, it means precisely that: 80% of the sculpting work that is required to send the minis to 3D printing is done.
It does not mean that 80% of the sculpts are done. One person put it this way: "100% of the minis are 80% ready”, and that's a good way to summarise it.

As we already explained in this update on 'One-Shot Blondie, from concept to 3D print', we revise a sculpt MANY times before we send it to print. This is what ENSURES the quality of the Raging Heroes sculpts.

In a project like the TGG Kickstarter, it is also crucial that we take the time to review and compare all the sculpts against each other before we finalize them to guarantee the overall integrity and continuity of the range.

"So yes, we could show you some sculpts that are 80% done. But our previous experience has confirmed to us that this is not the right thing to do. We've already shared the Heroine 3D renders that we feel are very representative of what the 3 armies will look like.

If you don't feel confident about the final product, then I can certainly understand that, and you should perhaps not take the chance to be unhappy down the road. I know that most people that have seen our work trust us to get it right, and most of the time, they actually often find the actual casts BETTER than what they had anticipated from the final 3D renders!

And also, sometimes, there may be a few concepts that we think we can actually improve upon when we sculpt them, for example, Yoko and Dr von X....

But again, that is entirely up to you and we certainly won't hold it against you if you don't want to pledge for certain things.

I hope that helps...”

I'm really digging the trikes and i'm glad they went ahead and unlocked the other 2 bikes for the armies... That "command bike" looks great.

We have officially passed 570K so 60K more and all 3 trikes will be unlocked (going to have to average 2K an hour to make it happen though)

I started out with like 150 in pledges just to get a few of the Heroines for my sisters of battle army, and here we are a month later and I'm spending SO much more than I ever planned. I really hope this one goes the distance and can meet all of the stretch goals that would be amazing.

Well i broke down and got the Eminence pledge so i'm now trying to figure out how to spend it on models. I'm actually getting multiples of some models and even a good few to give away as gifts, to get people I know looking at Raging Heroes as a great source of minis.

And the Squad of Lulu's is going to be painted up and given to my daughter for a birthday present :) She loves helping me paint (she has about 8 wraith lords that are the most colorful things in existence, but she's 5 so they are perfect in my opinion) So i figure i will paint them up and let her have them in a case. Hopefully she will enjoy games and modeling/painting as much as her daddy :)

Nice.:)

Now at a tad under 47k and unlocking the second Wereshewolf. Bit miffed that my favourite is unlocked at 665k but I think it will get there.

Kamin_Majere

07-07-2013, 02:21 AM

658K. About 50,000 USD in the last 9 hours.

It looks like it has mellowed out so i'm just assuming we are going to get to the 665K mark and that's about as far as we will be able to carry the Kickstarter. Still not bad at all, I won't be able to get the squad of cyber zombies like I was hoping, but if the last werewolf unlocks then that will be nice indeed.

eldargal

07-07-2013, 02:34 AM

660k now.:) The next few hours might see some 'mericans waking up and pledging possibly, if they were waiting until the last minute. 665k seems likely I'm still hoping for 675k for the com operator.

Kamin_Majere

07-07-2013, 02:55 AM

Yeah almost as soon as i posted it has shot up to over 663K lol maybe there is some life left in it yet. It ends at 7 eastern and 6 central and being a sunday morning not many people are going to be out of bed over on this side of the pond yet. But hopefully a few like me stayed up REALLY late or woke early so they could see it end and give a bit more.

EDIT:
And from the time it took me to write the post it has basically hit 665K lol

07-07-2013, 03:10 AM

I was thinking more that it would be easier to set your alarm and get up for a last minute pledge, but yes I doubt it will be a huge boost.:)

667k now.

Kamin_Majere

07-07-2013, 03:29 AM

Well apparently i was wrong, Its grown 12000 in the past hour, if it can keep this pace we might actually see 700k, and i would have to rework my whole pledge to work in the cyber zombie squad lol (would be oh so tragic :p )

eldargal

07-07-2013, 03:33 AM

I'm sticking with 680k +/- 5k just 'cos I like to be conservative.:) But it is at 672k with 90 minutes left (I think) so it could climb higher.

07-07-2013, 05:03 PM

698.5K, so very close to the 700K mark.

With about 3% of the normal kickstarter funds defaulting on their payments, the paypal money should still push them to 700K or a bit more. So overall this was an insanely effective project.

That last hour was a heck of a ride... though i was a bit saddened we didnt hit 700K for the zombie unlock. Oh well though, still a ton of awesome models :)

MY stance has remained unchanged funnily enough, going to get a couple of squads of Jailbirds to act as penal troopers for my IG then a whole lot of Kurganova troops to be regular Guard and some Iron Empire to be an allied force from different regiments from teh same world using Krieg rules. Jinx is going to be a Gyrinx for my Farseer though and I'm tempted to make whatsername the Necro priestess into a Necron overlady.

Let's be frank here: we have to do a new Kickstarter now if we want to ensure the future of Raging Heroes. Yet we know that some of you might feel frustrated about this if you haven't received any TGG minis yet. This is the case if you chose to go for our most economical shipment system (get everything once it's ready) to make a better deal, and so you have not yet seen anything.

So we want to give you a gift.
We want you to see that the Toughest Girls of the Galaxy are really happening, and that the minis are great! Watch your mailbox starting next week! We have packed and are about to ship all eligible backers (over 90% of you) your full set of Freebies*.

The full set of Freebies contains 14 minis, a retail value of $185!

We are picking up the packing&shipping cost for this, worth over $11,000...

We hope that you'll love those minis.
We hope this bonus shipment will help you wait for your final shipment.
Maybe this will make you get out your paintbrushes.
Maybe this will make you want to support us again for our new Kickstarter.
No matter what, we value your trust in us and your continuing support, and we are so happy to have you be part of the Raging Heroes adventures.
Nice of them.
