Unboxing Raging Heroes - Elite Snipers

"Headshot..."

Each of the three 'Toughest Girls of the Galaxy' armies have a number of models that fulfil the same purpose but are styled for their own particular army. In this feature we're going to look at each forces Elite Snipers...

For those of you who are interested in the background for Raging Heroes various 'Toughest Girls of the Galaxy' projects then the link to their original Kickstarter can be found here, their last project is here and their own website is located here. Most of their original Kickstarter is now available to purchase retail. There is also apparently a game system in development but until then I'm sure there are many other systems that you can be using them for...

First we'll have a brief look at the background of each of the three forces.

THE IRON EMPIRE (IE)
The Iron Empire is made up of exiled people that have somehow stumbled upon necromantic knowledge from alien pharaonic gods. They combine Prussian and Germanic influences with some kind of Aegyptian cyber necromancy that allow them to raise the dead and create bio-mechanical aberrations.

THE JAILBIRDS DIVISION (JB)
They are a bunch of low-life bad-ass big-attitude girls who all ended up in planetary prison held by the Kurganov government. In the game, they will be used as small penitentiary contingents led by the Kurganova Shock Troops, or as a full autonomous faction (because, as you can easily imagine, many of them have escaped captivity). They are commando-style units with nothing to lose, and they specialise in acquiring enemy equipment for their own purposes.

THE KURGANOVA SHOCK TROOPS (KST)
Led by the ultra-powerful Kurganov family, the Kurganova Shock Troops are a highly organized and disciplined army with underlying Eastern European themes. They also benefit from the support of strong cyber-enhanced paganic magic. This, among other things, allows them to 'waken' the 'were' gene that can transform some members of the Kurganova army into giant were-wolves or were-bears.

Mortaria Noctis Hitwoman
The arcane and lore uncovered by the Iron Empire are particularly deep and complex, and it is believed that only a very small part has yet been understood. One of the darkest secrets of the lost Aegyptian civilization are the death scarabs. Discovered by the high Necro Priestess Nephahrya herself, these creatures instantly turn the body of any living thing they enter into some kind of undead puppet at the command of their necromancer master.

When Nephahrya heard about the astounding prowess of a young sniper named Mortaria Noctis, she hatched a crazy scheme. After several years of complex research, the two deadly women have been able to create a bullet that contains one of these scarabs... This feat made Mortaria instantly famous among the Iron Empire's high society, and turned her into some sort of dark heroine capable of taking control of the highest ranking enemy officers and thus, of their troops, with just a single shot.

Mortaria Noctis Hitwoman - Assembled
This model comes with two different head options (the one I used below and one with an armoured mask) and consists of five parts. The neck area probably needs a bit more tidying up than I gave the one below so that tiny gap is my fault not the models...

Over the period of the initial Kickstarter and during the design process there were a number of artwork, renders and painted pictures released of the various upcoming models. Here's a few painted pictures of Mortaria Noctis that may interest you...

Karmina Noxx - Assembled
This model has two different head options and I went with the 'flowing hair' one because I liked it better. The barrel needed straightening on this one and you can probably tell in the assembled pictures that it needs just a tad more alignment though that's easy to accomplish with resin models by just warming up the part slightly in warm water and carefully bending it back into the required place.
