For a commander Raging Heroes could do worse than take inspiration from the Space Valkyrie [Sybil Danning as SainExmin] from 'Battle Beyond the Stars'('Les mercenaires de l'espace' in France: for once a good French title, since it's the story of the Magnificent 7 / Samurai in spaaaace).
(without the swimming suit under the bikini armour, of course!)

Not intrinsically bad, but following the Raging Heroes (Mantic-fashion) policy they look like 'NOT Dark Eldars'; for a Barsoomian setting they don't fit as well, and by far, as converted Fantasy ones

Funny but very interesting and promising for Raging Heroes (and their excellent minis fully deserve such attention): some wish to convert the SF Vestals to Fantasy, others to convert the Fantasy Vestals to SF (Barsoom / John Carter type), which would only require 'alternate' hands with a pistol…..

The SF Blood Vestals are now up for pre-order!

Don't miss the Special Launch Offer for the first 100 boxes!

SF Blood Vestals (Command)

After carefully re-reading the results of the survey and all your detailed answers, we came up with the following packaging for the Sci-Fi Blood Vestals: two boxes, a bit like we did for the Fantasy Blood Vestals.

  • one troop box of five warriors with regular equipment and extra bits, and
  • one command box with the unit leader plus four warriors, as well as the necessary equipment to create specialized warriors
SF Blood Vestals (Troopers)

In each box, there are additional weapons so that with the command and the troop boxes together, you can make the following combinations:

  • a unit of nine regular warriors plus one leader
  • a unit of eight regular warriors plus one weapon specialist and one leader
  • a unit of seven regular warriors plus two weapon specialists plus one leader
  • a unit of six regular warriors plus three weapon specialists plus one leader

Now, our last question is about a possible accessories kit, because it feels to us that it might not be necessary after all.

Based on the survey, no more than 12% of you would want to field a unit in which two weapon specialists use the same type of weaponry. This probably means that if we came up with an additional accessories kit priced around €7.00 EUR, only about 10% of you would be interested.

To be quite honest, this means that it might be hard for us to recoup the initial production investment for this kit.

The kit would likely include three different sets of specialist weapons plus one set of leader weapons.

So please tell us what you think.

And don't worry. If you place on pre-order on the Vestals and the accessories kit becomes available, you'll be able to add it to your order.
