Raging Heroes - 2012 Outlook

Raging Heroes made a statement about their plans for 2012:

As you already probably know, the new version of Elerie&Alaniel is now available.
It will be closely followed by the Heroic Sci-Fi and Fantasy version of Gluttony, the first of our Seven Sins.
At about the same time, a very old project has been brought back to life : our dear Asharah has ranted and raved so much that we have finally granted her her Dark Pegasus. If you've been following our adventures from the very early days, you probably remember this project. At that time, we had come up with a totally over-the-top insane Pegasus, only to end up agreeing that it was way too complex a project to build. So we've now created a Pegasus that is still very much Raging Heroes, but in a more manageable sculpt. Look for that sometime in February.
Right after that, the Legendary Sci-Fi and Fantasy version of Gluttony should become available.
The CyberWolves will also be available in February. We have reworked them quite extensively. The sculpts are now completely done and images are forthcoming in the next few days. 
Sandwiched between these releases is a new evil Shedu / Sphinx head that you will be able to fit on your own demonic creatures as well as on our Manticore. Look for it in our next newsletter. 
And finally, we are also working on our first large-size unit. It will have 10 minis, all female, and, of course, all evil. We'd like to have them out in February... Want to venture a guess as to what they are? 
Oh, should we also mention that there's an Orc that's made its way to the design boards?
But, you ask, when are the 2-headed Dragon, the Phoenix and Elf Queen, Akzeltolt, and the other six Sins coming out? Well, when we started working on those projects, we were confident that we had found the right resin foundry and that they would be able to deliver these large kits. We were also working with several new sculptors, about seven of them. But the best laid schemes o' mice an' men… 
The foundry couldn't keep up, and being a great Zbrush artist does not a miniature sculptor make… 
To keep it short, we've been forced to rework our release schedule to favour metal releases ahead of resin ones. But fear not, those minis are still slotted for production for 2012, and we have been making the necessary adjustments to fix these issues.
Regarding units, we have reworked quite extensively our production pipeline to be able to produce units, squadrons and bands of miniatures at a reasonable price...
