Raging Heroes' DE preview
So, you don't get any new toys then they all come along at the same time!
Looking at the preview I get a real CoS vibe from them; perhaps too much so? The characters look great, some gorgeous.
I think it may be the basics such as spears that make this a big one, or not. Realistically this can't happen for quite some time. GW have emptied the coffers of most, then we have Xmas, and the brokeness that comes after for a couple of months. So, maybe Easter time perhaps with an end of year delivery ETA? Sadly way off my time line for serious consideration.

Re: Raging Heroes' DE preview
Thanks.
I would have to say that from that lot I only like the look of the Vestal Cav. Everything else looks a slight bit overdone. Well, to be clear, the Cav looks overdone too but thats good in this case. I would almost rather use them for warlocks than my old metal Diaz seekers. I for one could not be more pleased about the obvious Slaanesh influence. The harpies are also neat, miles better than GW's but that's not saying much. There is a limit to the number of evil spikes you can put on a model, and they've gone thundering past that limit on a platinum palanquin pulled by hookers.

Well, the big wagon might not be what I'd add in my army, but the rest looks great imo. I don't mind a bit of slaaneshi themed army.

Re: Raging Heroes' DE preview
I like the one with the halberd. You don't see many females in fantasy, period, where the armor actually looks like it might protect them.
As for the chariot, I doubt I'd use it as a cauldron of blood but I'd definitely use is as a Warshrine of Slannesh.
And the battle hippo could always be a dark elf champion (the sorceress got tired of turning people into newts).

Re: Raging Heroes' DE preview
I think it's all freakin awesome. RH is doing really clever innovative stuff and I can't wait to see what's next. The TGG stuff is so cool I'm tempted to buy some and I have never even come close to playing a 40k style game.
As for the Slaanesh feel, I like that just fine as it fits well with my girls already. The only problem for me is that half the figures will be male!
I plan on going full bore apeshit on the kickstarter when it happens!

That's silly! Playin with little statues, pretendin' they're fightin'! Why not just round up a bunch of real goblins and lettem' whack it out?

Love it! Especially the giant cauldron thing that actually has slaves!
The fast cav look incredible.

They certainly look interesting. I'd consider buying some non-GW stuff, but it needs to be cheaper. Unfortunately, in most cases it isn't. I really do like the look of some of them though.

... and I do have a lot of that stuff
What's not to love?
At least half of the sketches are better than the GW ones - and those are already awesome.

Although they clearly pinched my idea for their dark rider concept:

Re: Raging Heroes' DE preview
Very nice stuff from RH.
@Lion of Flanders: I also like your Dark Rider idea, though he looks more like my image of a warlock. Maybe I will copy your idea for my warlocks.

Awesome Sketches - I really like the theme behind the harpies / succubi - great concept! All these could make for a great alternative looking army! The babe with the battle axe rocks.

Yeah, I wish we had Executioners Axe still She'll probably still be a master on foot, or maybe my new champion for the executioners.

Re: Raging Heroes' DE preview
IMHO:
Altar of the Succubi - "Cauldron of blood with Harpies". Nice but a bit too busy. 6/10
Fenyaa - Halberd Warrior - "Executioner/Black Guard Heroine". Really (x2) nice. Pose will loose some appeal when ranked up. I want a lot of these. 9/10
Liligrith - Exanguinatrix - "Witch Elf". Really nice (but not up to new WE standards). Fallen Wardancer? 7/10
Lady Darkriss - "Sorceress//Dreadlord". Love her pet dragon. I will probably add something to her left hand. 8/10
Xarsiss - Succubus Queen - "Harpy". Nice concept but I like my harpies to be more animal than human. Will need some heavy conversion. 6/10
Senshyrha - Slave Master - "Unit filler". Brilliant. 9/10
Krassh - Mistress of the Beasts - "Unit filler or Beastmaster on foot". Cool but more Dark Eldar than Dark Elf. 7/10
Keerakx - Spearman Warrior - "Dreadspear". Wow, this is how the Dreadspears should have looked. I want 50 or so, but will give them plain shields. 9/10
Azeryaa - Succubus - "Harpy". Lovely. 7/10
Akarith - Vestal Cavalry - "Dark Rider". Amazing. 7/10
This will be expensive
