Unboxing Raging Heroes - Shaliah, Death Dancer Soloist

Following on from their first successful 'Toughest Girls of the Galaxy' Kickstarter Raging Heroes launched a second one called TGG2: Light and Darkness in order to create three new female armies: Dark Elves, Lust Elves, and Sisters of Mercy, in both Fantasy and Sci-Fi versions.

Over the next few weeks I'll be doing some unboxing and review features on some of the models that I acquired. Also as I acquired these models via the Kickstarter rather than through retail they came in bags rather than in a box.

Now we'll give Shaliah, Death Dancer Soloist a look...

Shaliah - Death Dancer Soloist

Shaliah - Unassembled

Here's pictures of both sides of the unassembled model parts.

A Brief Note About Resin Models.

Also it's worth noting that many resin models have a slightly greasy feel caused by the substance they use to stop them sticking to the moulds during production and this can cause issues with glue not taking effect and paint not sticking to the model properly and in my experience Raging Heroes miniatures seem to have a lot of this release agent. Carefully washing the parts in soapy water will remove this should your model be unduly affected. Parts that are bent (or that aren't and you want to be) can be corrected by heating up slightly in warm water and then bending into the required configuration.

Shaliah - Assembled

A three part model consisting of a body and two separate arms. There's quite a lot of supporting resin pieces to remove but none are attached to areas of detail though the connecting point with the body wasn't brilliant so I may need to pop the one arm back off and re-shape it very slightly. There's also a relatively small connecting point with the piece that slots into the base so you'll need to take care with that part.

Shaliah - Extras

Here's a look at some artwork and renders from the Kickstarter process that may interest you all.
