Third party miniatures New Jungle Fighters from Raging Heroes

As the title says:

 

 

They even have produced for the first time to my knowledge a vehicle. It´s not a Rhino but a Bulldog.

It's weird that most of the character models are pretty tasteful, but the abs-out-bikini-top look is not my taste at all. That terrain, however, looks tasty!

[sitnam]

To be honest, I don't even think these are that sexualized, not compared to some other prints I've seen. I agree with @Naryn, the abs out aren't my preferred style, but at least with not!Catachans it has some stylistic sense

 

I kinda like the psyker, but I hate seeing 3d renders vs actual models

You think these are the over sexualized models for neckbeards? Five minutes on any site that aggregates third party models will disabuse that notion. 

 

Agree with the others though. Not my style, although it is good for people who prefer that over the highly masculine styling from official GW minis.

Yeah, these are tasteful compared to a lot out there 

 

Different strokes for different folks. Not for me, but they'll be good for someone

[Zoatibix]

I mean for RH stuff those are practically IRL nuns . I think they look cool.

 

But…that Bulldog is literally a rhino.

Did that hit a bit too close to home?

 

I don’t buy their stuff, but I don’t tell people what they should or shouldn’t buy.

 

If you don’t like these, stay off Etsy.

I have a small collection of Iron Empire models from Raging Heroes. Those were from the first wave of their model ranges. I still need to assemble all the special characters and all heavy weapon teams. This is the state of the army now:

They look like gritty, female soldiers. If you don´t like female soldiers in wargaming then you should rather stay away from Gee-Dubbs Witch Elves as they tend to show much more skin.

[Arikel]

To be fair, their models are  at least more or less sfw, and playable, if a bit cringe. If I were to start collecting catachans they wouldn’t look out of place mixed in to provide some women fighters to match the all rambo all the time look of the catachan range.

[Jukkiz]

well they look "fine" in all accords. Now if GW would start making their female faces abit nicer....

[Scribe]

Pearl clutching is so funny. Take a look around on the net, these are nothing lol.

[SvenIronhand]

Nah, Inquisitor is right. All RH produce is these pinup sculpts of middling quality. And of course, there’s nothing inherently, morally wrong about that. Certainly no BrotherVinny or whoever the slave girl sculptor was. Now, those would get a mean look from me. But compare these to the SpaceNam range, and it’s a world of difference.

You are right, that company has a waaay more sensible view

 

 

I just went to their website and that was one of the first images popping up, I know its not their spacenam range but it was funny seeing that after looking up the range. (didnt know it.) But honestly like raging heroes its a mix of regular rip-off and exposition miniatures ( I dont mean it either positive or negative, just a way to describe the miniatures vibe.)

I wouldnt say that either range ( not company ) is worse than the other in that department.

 

I really REALLY like their not-Ursula creed though, especially the face.. (keeping in mind that 28mm needs some proportional exageration.) Though there is something weird going on with the legs.

 

But its more "exposition" ( I see almost none of it shown like that, except the above assassin and the imperial commando tank crew and those post apocalyptic catachans) than raging heroes not-Ursula creed (wich I like much less for the record, its a really stiff pose.) :

I think Raging Heroes are flying a bit too close to the sun with that notRhino, just asking for a Cease & Desist really; like Tortuga Bay recently.

Yeah, GW are always ready with that tactical nuke the moment someone puts a toe in their IP.

 

Rhino seems to be one of those things that GW has not been able to convincingly wipe from the Internet though. There are a ton of "rhinocerous" vehicles on Cults3D and MyMiniFactory that have been up for years. Heck, I have a Bulldog APC from Puppetswar that is definitely skirting the edge of being a Rhino.

 

Maybe something about a boxy tracked APC that is generic enough to keep GW's lawyers at bay.

[Redcomet]

Some of the characters look awesome. But Raging Heroes have a very distinct style that is very hit or miss for me. I tend to like their fantasy stuff the best

I wonder if being downloadable files gives some legal "wiggle room" currently wich makes it harder for GW to pursue ? After looking around I do think they have had some exact things for a while now. I see a literal lord of skulls (without any oppurtunity taken to improve on it.), chaos knights and a landraider, and in contrary to the more human things I dont see how this would fly legally. There is also some eldar vehicles but these step a little further from the source material.

[Evil Eye]

I'm not the biggest fan of RH (I liked their first-gen Daemonettes but the subsequent resin ones were too busy for my tastes) but these look alright. That Rhino is pretty nice looking, if VERY risky.

They Made a Chaos Land Raider, a Chaos Knight, Defiler and the big Khorne Thingy on Tracks. The Cyberpunk stuff even has a Bunch of Necrons and a Tank.

Edit: They did some Eldar Vehicles too.

 

 

Yes, i pay the 20€ per month for quite a few months. And every month in find something usefull beides the Terrain.

 

And honestly, if i ever go back to 40k from Horus Heresy i will print myself some lame cheesy Army with either RH or even smutier modells just to anoy some people.

I had a bunch of RH void elves and putting aside the thirst trap minis argument I am just wanna say that these minis are not so easy to paint if you want to achieve some level of detail painting 'cause they are very tiny.

And I really like many models from RH, it's just a heads-up if you don't like to paint smaller minis .

[gideon stargreave]

There’s something in the style that makes these a bit too cartoonish, sort of like Titan AE. 
with regards the other thing, it’s nice to see that RH have matured a little bit. They used to be ridiculous; raging harcussdons would have been a better name for them in the past.

[Antarius]

I guess they’re better than their earlier stuff, but yeah…

 

I don’t really think that it makes sense to talk about moralising when it comes to liking/not liking the pin-up look on fantasy wargame minis. To me it’s just immersion-breaking and somewhat cringe inducing, which is why I don’t like it -kinda like putting top hats and monocles on all your space marines to be “funny” would be.
I mean, it’s your hobby and your money, but I am not into warhammer for the tight rules, I’m here for the atmosphere and the setting, so I tend to look askance at stuff like that, but it’s not like it’s hurting anyone.

 

All that being said, I also do think sex and religion are private matters and so I think that it’s just good form to keep it off the gaming table - so getting the sense that someone is getting a kick out of sexually charged miniatures is always a bit awkward.

[beefeb]

far better than gw's trunchbowl offering for sure.  lord commander on steed looks good too.

That´s true. Eyes are pretty difficult. That´s why I chose the Iron Empire models who mostly wear helmets.

[Wormwoods]

Yeah that's JUST a Rhino. At least the remixed the infantry with some scion-y bits.
