Yep, it was already mentioned in the dog thread as well:

I stand by what I said about the "ladies" there. But then, I'm not in the demographic for the "Rogin shibols" stuff so my opinion matters to even more zilch and nada than usual.

The dog is nice, but the rest is not VSF to me.

Only if that is Voluptuously Sculpted Figures

Well, to be frank I don't think VSF is quite completely clear cut even tho the consensus among the participants largely looks to be the sisters aren't fit for it.

They are about as far removed from VSF as they could be, I don't see them as steampunk either. 40K yep absolutely.

[Hammers]

The dog is nice though. If anyone gets this set but doesn't need the mutt, I will pay for it.

Bad Steampunk on a off day maybe...

Steampunk rather than VSF, I agree and plead guilty of inaccuracy: their dress reflect a society of civic and cultural equality / equal opportunities à la late 1960 - early "70. This is a distinguishing feature of Steampunk, causally correlated with the 'weirder' science and technology, both reflecting an  earlier divergence from our time line than in VSF settings. Hinterland Hussarettes are on the opposite VSF-compatible.

But 'bad' and 'on an off day'? This is a purely personal opinion. Then 'De gustibus coloribusque not est dispuntandum'

Dystopian Legions, maybe?

In any case *visually* the borderline between Steampunk on the one hand and some 40K types -the late Pretorians, but also the Vostroyans

and Warmachine ones -specially some Khador

- on the other hand is rather blurry / fuzzy.

Nice sculpts....love the dog, would look great on a Skiff or airship. The lassies would just look good painted on the shelf......BUT NO WAY is that set worth $43AUD PLUS postage of another $16AUD!!!
I will just wait until after GW finds an excuse to sue them and they are forced to get rid of them quick.

Not to rain on your parade but I doubt GW will ever sue them. GW became very cautious not to shock the (American, mainly?) parents (who pay for the minis) with any 'naughtiness': they put bras on their daemonettes (none by the old 'Realms of Chaos' time) and amazons, loincloths on the serpentmen. Even Foundry is far more audacious! Hence Raging Heroes, aiming at another audience, are far less direct GW competitors than, say, those armies of Dwarves and Elves of that manufacturer I'll not name .

[tnjrp]

I don't think it's a question of competition really, GW used to hit quite tiny companies with lawsuits back in the day, or at least they had that kind of rep. Nowadays everybody and their uncle is copying GW style rather blatantly (I'd wager more blatantly than that even that company you won't name but -- taking a wild guess -- is known as Mantic) and getting away with it. But admittedly maybe it's because they've become so large that it doesn't matter to them any more if cottage industries copy them -- the same as it doesn't seem to bother Paramount that cottage kits of Star Trek ships are all over the place.
