Your Cart is Empty
Dear Backer,
We are finally there! The very last wave of shipments is ongoing and so the TGG2 Kickstarter will soon be officially over.
So what is happening now?
We've had a little bit of unexpected delays with the shipment of the Altars as, at the very last minute, we discovered a little “bug” in the Altar assembly: some of the slaves were placed in such way that they would not touch the ground...
You may be wondering how we missed that and, quite frankly, we are wondering too... In the end, it was a very easy thing to fix and so, no problem here: you'll notice that your Altar will come with a set of yellow parts. These parts are the 3D printed elements we built and made to fix that problem.
There was also a sorting problem with some of the slaves as, at first glance, the difference between the ones on the left and the ones on the right of the Altar is not easy to see and so, there had been some mismatches made at the foundry.
But this is all corrected now and we have piles and piles of Altars that are now shipping!
Since you've been waiting for this kit for so long, we decided to make it a bit more special than originally planned.
First, we gave it a nice collector box. It a big black box with a beautiful finish and that closes with a magnet. It will be perfect to store your cool game-related stuff: miniatures, cards, game accessories...
The Altar collector box, full to the brim with resin goodness :)
About 150 Altars in their collector boxes, all these have been shipped this Monday
Then, we designed and printed a special mini artbook to show you a bit of the Altar of the Succubi design process. We are very happy with how it turned out. However, it is a special artifact, written by an old mage hands, so be ready to do a bit of deciphering ;)

So in the last few days, we've packed tons of parcels and some of these were seriously big!
Most rewards fit in just one of our picking baskets, but some are seriously big and fill up to 3 baskets!
The miniatures arrive to our office in these donut boxes. As we pack your minis, tons and tons of these get emptied. I cannot imagine how many were used for the fulfilment of this Kickstarter.
Once the parcel is assembled, we do one last check to your selection and add all the instruction cards and printed goodies you're now probably familiar with.
Monday we made one of our biggest trip ever to the post office, with 3 cars full of parcels!
When you receive your Altar, please keep in mind that it is a seriously complex kit, both in terms of manufacturing and assembling.
Making such a big piece in resin is quite a challenge, especially when it is not a fully organic shape, but rather a large man-built (well, elven-built) structure.
When a resin piece is cast, it always shrinks or warps, there is no way around it. Depending on the type of part, the foundry can minimize that effect, but whatever they do, it will always happen.
On smaller pieces, this is rarely an issue. But on non-organic shapes or fairly thick parts, the effect tends to be stronger. It is not a big issue, but it means that you will have a little bit of modeling to do if you want to make the parts fit perfectly.
No need to worry, though. We are finishing a detailed assembly chart and a video tutorial for you on how to deal with this. We should have it available for download at the end of this week. We'll send you a link. In all cases, building the Altar is going to be a great modeling project and with the video instructions, you might even pick up a few extra skills and tricks!
The foundry is now in full Metal Mania Mode, casting all your long-awaited metal heroines, and we are currently packing the first ones here to send them your way! From what we've seen so far, they look stellar!

Like we said in our previous update, these metal casts are going to be super-limited editions. So we decided to present them accordingly. They will also come in their own special collector box, with a personalized Limited Edition certificate. Some of them are produced in such small quantities, you can bet that in a few years, they'll be seriously high value collectibles :)

The rest of the shipments containing Altars and Metal Heroines will be completely done before the end of the month.
Other than those, if you have not yet received your final rewards and you think you should have, please contact us so we can resolve this at RagingHeroesTeam@gmail.com
So it is nearly time to say goodbye to TGG2 and look toward the horizon as TGG3 is approaching. We don't have a date yet for this Kickstarter but it will be a very important step in the development of Raging Heroes.
First, because it will introduce our first game. And the more we work on it, the more we think it will be a really new type of experience in Miniature Gaming. Our goal is to bring as much quality and innovation in Game Design as we brought in Miniature Design, and we think we are on the right path for that.
Second, because TGG2 has been such an herculean task, so much bigger and more complex that TGG1, we've learned many, many things that will make TGG3 a much more manageable beast, without loosing the quality and uniqueness of the Raging Heroes products.
Overall, what we want to tell you is “get ready for a fantastic ride, with some new awesome miniatures and a revolutionary kind of game”!
We've talked about a big painting contest a few updates ago. It has been delayed for technical reasons, but it will soon be happening, so stay tuned for that.
We are also about to launch the TGG Game and Background website, with information on the Game, the TGG universe and lots of other tasty stuff. This will be the main destination to learn about the fluff of the characters and the game. At first it will be quite simple, but it will continue to grow non-stop as we ramp up for the next Kickstarter.
You will find it at www.TGGtheGame.com
For now it's still a placeholder, but the first version will be live soon.
The various official launches of these projects will be announced through our Facebook page, our newsletter and in our Kickstarters' updates.
If you also are a WarStages backer, please note we have another update coming up for you this week.
Ok, as always, I'm writing this big wall of text... sorry about that :(
But I have one last topic to talk about: You, our dedicated backer!
What about you? Have you painted some of your minis? Have you played some games with them? Are your friends jealous of your Sisters' Army or of your Avatar of Shaah?
Every time we pack more orders and rewards, we can't help but try and analyze the pattern in your choice: “Oh, he bought 1 command group and 5 troops!!”, “She chose 3 Draahk Chariots and 3 Horse Chariots”, “He picked just about 1 command and 1 troops of everything”, and we wonder which armies you are fielding, and for which game(s)? What type of army lists are you building? All that stuff, it's very intriguing... So tell us about it!

And, in a more general fashion, what do you like and don't like about your hobby at this time? What would you like to see happening? What kind of game or miniature are you looking for? What would you like us to make in the future? What kind of models would you like to see in our next Kickstarters?
I know this is very informal, but we always like to hear about you, about your wants and needs. And please know that we try to answer every message we get from you, so don't be shy and write us! And if a query remains unanswered, never hesitate to send it again at RagingHeroesTeam@gmail.com... We stand behind our minis, and we are committed to making you as happy as we can!
Comments will be approved before showing up.
At Raging Heroes, every army we create starts with carefully chosen ingredients. For the Dark Elves, you've got: Refinement. Elegance. Extreme Evil. Gothic fashion. Japanese Rock bands. Scandinavian fairy tales illustrations from the 19th century. Find out more about your past and future favorites!

Backed TGG1 and 2. Would love to see a RH version of the Talos for Dark Eldar and some light elves/Eldar models in TGG3.
