No nudity in this one, so I'm posting it up here.

 

Update #1 

Mar 25 2015

 

UPDATE #1 - A Big Thank You + Meet the first Freebie

 

Dear Backers,

 

Once again, you totally blew us away!

 

Once again, you were so fast that we could not keep up the pace to unlock the stretch goals (and god know this time we had prepared all this in advance!).

This is totally awesome, and we cannot thank you enough for your support!

 

To let you behind the scenes, we should tell you that as we are writing this, we've all been up for over 48 hours... So, to be sure to give you the best possible Kickstarter, we're now going to go and grab a little bit of rest :) Only Charlie will stay behind for a bit to reply to a few questions and messages.

 

Tomorrow, we will start sharing with you the background stories of our dear TGG, we'll explain stuff like the “all star boxesâ€, and we 'll be there to answer more questions.

In the meantime, let me introduce you to Sister Celenia, a sister scout. She is the first freebie you'll get with your pledge. You'll be able to use her in a fantasy or a sci-fi army as there will be an option to transform her pistol into a crossbow.

 

The Sisters prefer to use the term “scout†but in fact these girls mainly act as assassins...

 Also, if you took some time to study the front page earlier today, you'll be in for a bit of a good surprise when you go back now! Indeed, when we prepared all the images for the front page, for some strange reason, it was the Art Director who ended up doing some of the math for the pricing of the minis. As it turned out, he mistakenly inflated some of them. This has now been corrected, so this may even be a bit of good news for you :)

 

On another topic, since the Kickstarter is already going so fast, you'll be happy to know that there are more stretch goals that do not even appear as silhouettes on the front page yet... Rest assured that we still have got some pretty wicked stuff left to show.

Since it's come up and some might not have backed the first KS. Snipped from an update last week on that KS.

Spoilered because it's a wall of text.

 

 

 

 

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!â€.

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

When we wrote “We need to launch this new Kickstarter nowâ€, 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 :)

In regards to the All Star Box's.

 

from Facebook

 

Asharah Raging Loquak Davian: It's a special box, with not only very special troopers that are very similar to a band of heroines, but also which starts with 3 minis and will upgrade with more minis during the campaign, depending on how it goes, we'll give more details in an update

Shaah is $65. *Sad face*

 

*whistles*

 

Yeah, there are some expensive ones in there. I like the Spider Mother and Flesh Weaver from that bunch too. Both could make good companions for Reaper's Great Mother Worm.

 

OMG - the Pegasus, manticore and hydra are all awesomesauce!
