Ivanka Kurganova from Raging Heroes – Review

There has been a lot of talking about Raging Heroes and their miniatures. Especially in the context of computer-generated sculpts versus manual sculpting. If you want to know what my impressions were after seeing their miniatures in person – read the Raging Heroes review:

I gave that company a try and recently bought captain Ivanka Kurganova.

Previously I saw only quite good concepts generated in some computer program and I always wondered how will such miniatures look in real.

First impression

The miniature came in a blister. The sponge inside was thick enough so that the parts didn’t fly around inside.

What’s inside

    Inside you will find such elements:

  • corpus with head,
  • two right arms with two different swords,
  • one right arm with gun,
  • three (!) gas masks 🙂

Quality

The casting quality is very good. Of course there are mould line, but those are very small and you don’t need much work to remove them. The surfaces are very flat and not much cleaning has to be done.

The detailing is also good, but not much of it. A very nice addition is an eagle on the back side of the cloak and words written in Cyrillic. My favorite part has to be the face – it is very subtle and in my opinion is one of the best female faces sculpted :clap:

The miniature is normal heroic scale.

At the end I can recommend it as really nice addition to any Warhammer 40.000 Imperial Guard army 🙂
