What’s Coming up in May! And improving how we do things!

Hello Dear Patron

Hope this finds you well and in good health!

Wow, I don’t know how it is for you but here the month just flew by!

I’ve been wanting to give you news for more than a week already but there was always someone taking me away from the keyboard to check a sculpt, tell me it was time for this meeting, go running an errand to the supermarket because it’s nearly curfew time and there is nothing left in the fridge, etc.

The usual… ;) :)

I guess that is probably the same for you, right?

Plenty is happening this month:

• The May release, continue to read to see what’s coming
• What will probably be in the June release
• Better timing for the releases
• New file-hosting system
• Easier to print minis

So let’s dive in!

May’s Theme

Deciding what we would do in May was not easy. We read your comments several times, we even did a flipchart to count everything because there were so many proposals. In the end, we got Vikings in 1st place, Egypt in 2nd and then we had several winners for the 3rd position on the podium: Aztecs, Native Americans and a few more that were very close.

So we should have been doing the Vikings, right?

Well, it turned out that I felt that I would need more time than usual to do this theme justice. Sure I could do big guys in fur, charging with their axes in the air, but I wanted to give the Vikings all the attention that they deserve so we could come with something really strong. So I decided to keep doing research on them while we would work on the next more popular theme and keep the Viking for next.

This means that May will be about the Cursed Sands of Egypt and June will be about the Vikings.

My excitement for the Egyptians was really high, but sky-rocketed when I saw the first sculpts from the team!! They look so cool!

In typical Raging Heroes fashion, we are taking this theme and remaking it in our own style! Our own alternative history in another dimension where gods walk the earth and great heroes battle vicious monsters!

We are staying clear of the undead theme… I think mummies and skeleton crocodiles have been done to death (pun intended… sorry!! 😊 )

Expect the Leader Tier to see awesome Gods, muscle-bound heroes, and terrifying monsters all coming together in an incredible centrepiece!!

And if you're one of the over 50% of patrons who are subscribed to the Overlord Tier; your $6 add-on gets you the full Leader Tier PLUS a ton of Egyptian troop units, modular terrain, and an epic tier exclusive miniature! (if you’re not part of the Overlord Tier but are thinking about upgrading, here is how.)

File Delivery

The team has already created the biggest chunk of the sculpts for this collection and a big part of it is going to Atlas on Monday so they can start making the support.

We still might not be able to get every supported file uploaded for the beginning of next month, but you’ll definitely get more of them in the first set of files and we expect to have everything available earlier than usual.

We’ve been working very hard to make sure you would get access to the files earlier. We’ve completely revamped our sculpting planning management, we’ve hired and trained several new sculptors and we are pushing hard in every possible way to make this a reality.

File Storage

You might have seen that we added MyAirBridge as a download option for this month’s collection!! Finally, a file system that works!!

I’ve seen some of your comments already saying how much easier it is! And from our tests it’s a big improvement over Sync and also makes our life much simpler.

In the meantime, we are also working on our own membership platform with cloud-based storage! This way, you’ll get access to all your files forever, whenever and however you want them.

Missing older downloads or having printing problems?

By the way, if you were not able to download files from previous releases you had subscribed for, please, please, please contact us at contact@ragingheroes.com and we’ll fix that for you!

If you have problems printing our models please jump to our Facebook group or Discord channel. 

On Facebook; post in our Heroes Infinite group and tag @eldire.yrila in your message. On our Discord server tag @Support Monkey#7278 or @Janeco#9318, then describe your problem and some member of the Atlas team who creates our supports will fly to the rescue and help you to set up your printer the right way.

For the past 3 months, we’ve been working with the Atlas team to make sure that the prints would be easier for you to get right every time. And by the constantly diminishing numbers of messages we’ve received about this, it looks like things are moving in the right direction. We are still continuing to actively work on that so it should get even better in the following months.

Future Themes!

So, as I say, we are set on Vikings for the June release.

After that, we’ll most likely take a break from mythologies for one or two releases and look at something different, something more fantastical and otherworldly! What do you think that should be?

As you can see we now have the luxury to start planning much more in advance but I still want to know what you want to see in future releases. Make sure your voice is heard and comment on this post with your cool ideas for themes and models!

Have a great day and make sure to stay tuned for a super epic Egyptian themed video soon!!

All the best!
