TGG2: Darkness & Light
TGG2: Darkness & Light is the follow-up to the very successful Toughest Girls of the Galaxy Kickstarter. It brings you 3 new female armies: Dark Elves, Lust Elves, and Sisters of Mercy, in both Fantasy and Sci-Fi versions:
- Miniatures with tons of attitude, dynamic posing, exquisitely detailed sculpts
- Sculpts that often top the concept art
- Ultra-customizable multi-part troops, thanks to multi-part ball-joint systems
- Beautiful casts in super high quality metal and stunning spin-cast resin (see FAQ for details)
$250 worth of FREEBIES NOW (for all Lieutenant Box Pledges and above)!
We have such strong faith in our project and our backers that, right from the start, we are offering a full set of 15 freebies (Retail Value: over $250 !) to all Lieutenant Box Pledges and above.
That's $250 worth of free stuff right from the launch of the Kickstarter on top the deal you're getting with your Pledge Level!
We will unveil one of them every day throughout the Kickstarter.
Meanwhile, if you wonder what $250 worth of Freebies looks like, check out the $185 worth of Freebies from our first 1st Kickstarter with this Open-the-Box video from one of our TGG1 backer, DiceMiniaturePaintGuy.

The Miniatures
Fantasy Heroines
And now, Monsters and Machine, for Sci-Fi and for Fantasy:
The ADD-ONS
The Game
We've now been working for quite some time on our miniatures game project. We were hoping to be able to include a first version in this Kickstarter, but we ran out of time, and we don't want to show you something that is half-baked. But here are key points that we can already share with you:
-
The feel of the game will be very cinematic.
-
The scenarios will revolve mainly around main characters whom you will choose as Heroes for your army. These Heroes may be high or low-ranking. But your main characters won't be able to attain their goals without the active participation of their Troops and Support.
-
The game will be highly scalable. You will be able to handle confrontations between just 2 minis, as well as between massive armies.
-
The action will be fast-paced and full of panache, and your Toughest Girls will have to show what they're really made of to shine on the battlefield.
-
The game will have components not usually associated with tabletop wargaming, such as bluff, negotiations, and more...
-
Our goal is to make you feel as if you were smack in the middle of your favourite blockbuster or TV series.
By the way, if you are wondering how to pick your minis to be ready for the TGG tabletop game, don't worry about this too much: we all hate those games where you can never play your favourite cool-looking mini because of her lousy stats! Our list-building system will allow you tons of versatility so that you can play exactly the minis that you like.
Who is Raging Heroes?
The TGG2: Darkness & Light is brought to you by Raging Heroes, a very dedicated French studio which has gained worldwide recognition for the quality of its work since 2009. We sell our minis in over 70 countries and consistently get some pretty amazing feedback from our customers and backers.
Shipping Information – Important
From our experience with our previous Kickstarter, we have created a new shipping system:
The shipping fees will be collected AFTER the Kickstarter, during the Pledge Manager. The Pledge Manager is the tool that we use so that you can tell us which minis you want.
As new Rewards become available to ship, you will get to choose if you want them right away or wait for more to be produced before getting a shipment. This way, you decide exactly how many shipments you get, how often, and how much you spend on shipping.
Therefore, the shipping fees will be collected after the Kickstarter, each time you ask us to send you a parcel.
Shipping will be weight-based. As a rough estimate, to-date, shipping the content of a Captain Box costs about $12 to ship to France, $22 to ship to the European Union, $28 to ship for the rest of the world.
While there is a very strong chance that you will receive all of your Rewards way before they become available at retail, there is always a possibility that some TGG2 minis go on sale before then, especially if you choose to save on Shipping costs and wait for ALL the TGG2 minis to be produced before receiving your Rewards Selection. We believe that the very special deal, the Freebies, and the exclusive content we provide with the TGG2 KS largely compensates for this slight possibility. However, if you are not comfortable with this, please do not back this KS and wait for the TGG2 to be available at retail.
Risks and challenges
We have learned quite a lot from our first Kickstarter, The Toughest Girls for the Galaxy. It was successful beyond our wildest expectations. This forced us to grow and adapt at a very fast pace. We made some errors along the way, but we're only stronger for it. With that experience under our belt, we have redesigned every single process of our workflow: the creative work, the manufacturing, the logistics, etc. So we can confidently say that we are much better prepared this time, whatever size this TGG2 KS ends up at.
Overall, the only problem we had on our previous Kickstarter was the delay in production. This was due to our underestimating the success of the TGG KS, and to our overeagerness to achieve excellence, which led to redo a lot of our sculpting.
However, the vast majority of our backers feel extremely pleased with the way we handled this, and praised us on keeping our focus on quality rather than speed.
Nevertheless, we have now put in place new workflows and processes to streamline the creative as,well as the production work.
That being said, when you back a Kickstarter, you embark on a great adventure. You get a unique chance to ride side-by-side with the project's creators, and see from the inside how a project is brought to life. This can be very thrilling as new stuff comes along, and better than expected results are achieved. But as in every adventure, the sea does get rough sometimes. By being a backer, not only do you get to get a feel for the highs and lows the project creators must live through. You get a very real opportunity to celebrate the wins, but also, to support the morale of the project team and make a difference when things are challenging.
Kickstarters are projects in development. They are not pre-order shops where the unknown doesn’t have its place.
You might not want to take part in an expedition that may include risks and delays and a little bit of rough seas, and this is all well with us.
We cannot guaranty anything except that we'll do our best just like we did in our previous KS.
But if you don't mind a little drizzle and you want to live the adventure together with us and be part of the creation of something great, if you want a bit of the unknown and watch new sculpts and characters as they come to life, if you love to experience unexpected good turns, great art and the companionship of an amazing band of backers, then do come aboard, we are setting sails!
