TODAY'S BONUS ADD-ON COMBO
We know you love fantasy miniatures and we have a collection of new and existing Babes sure to help fill out any fantasy

Thanks again everyone for pitching in and making this another great Babes project!
Automatically Appended Next Post: NEW OPTIONS FOR THE BOMB KIT
We have unlocked the Bomb Kit to allow backers to choose their Babes. You may now choose which Babes are included
in your Bomb Kit from the ones listed in the Add-Ons section. This will allow you to choose duplicates of the same Babe if you prefer.
As a bonus to our backers, we have also increased the number of Babes choices from six to seven! You may now select
any seven Babes shown in the Add-Ons section for your Bomb Kit. Please note these choices do not include Combo Sets.
The Bomb Kit still includes all of the unlocked FREEBIES as before and may receive more as future items are unlocked.

The Dixons Vixens add ons are available now as are at least some of the Femes of Fantasy (the satyr had casting issues initially so I'm not certain if it made it to a full release, but has now been remoulded)
but the rest of it is new (although Patrick & Co have done some sculpting before the KS launched)

If it's run similar to the Heavy Support Kickstarter for Counterblast, then what happens is some preexisting models get grouped together at a discount for Kickstarter backers. My pledge for that Kickstarter came as a gift certificate, so I could get whatever I wanted from the store at prices lower than normal retail. Plus all the new models on top of that and the free stuff was... well... free.
Works out well, I think.
Anyway, backed this. The Brimstone replacements and Melody.. I'm sure I'll find a few more pieces before the whole thing's done.

There is an orc in the lineup so I don't see why not. If I can put something together in time, then yes. Otherwise it would certainly make for a good regular release.
What type of goblin "class" were you thinking? Like a general fighter thing, shaman, or something else?

Either of those ideas would work so long as the pose was open enough to allow easy conversion. I think a general fighter class would probably be safest though since spellcasting can be pretty specific. The ones I've found have typically been either pirates or cooks (sometimes both Freebooters Fate comes to mind). Reaper has a female Pathfinder goblin that looks kinda weird and has a whip and sword. There's a few others out there by smaller companies where the sculpt is not the best and the goblin has horrible anatomy and enormous boobs and you can barely make out what it's meant to be. Actually, huh.. maybe a spell caster would make sense (I was honestly not prepared for you to consider this )
Looky what just popped up in our in-box! This sweet little sorceress-in-progress is being conjured up for us by sculptmaster Kev White the Hasslefriesian of Hasslefree Minis! We will keep you posted on her progress!
This pleases me, Kev is an excellent sculptor.

Glacia is Close!
We are less than a few hundred away from unlocking Glacia! Next up we have a very special Relic offered. When we reach $25,000 it will unlock the Relic - Dryad added to the Bomb Kit absolutely FREE!
This miniature was sculpted in 2006 and cast in a very limited run to give away as a promotional piece and to sell on the web. The sculpt won 2nd Place in the GenCon Painting Competition - Sculpted Greens category and is offered again here as a special Kickstarter Babes 2 incentive.
TODAY'S BONUS ADD-ON COMBO
Take to the Skies with these aerial oriented Babes and Sidekicks. They would make excellent additions as ground crew or characters in pulp or Weird War games.
MORE GIORGIO ART
Giorgio Baroni posted another of his great timelapse videos of his painting process on the terrific Qadira art he produced for us. Check it out here.

At this rate I'm dropping my pledge, there aren't enough interesting mini's for me to justify holding onto a Bomb kit pledge. Some of the add-ons have fun mini's, but ehhhhhh.

I want to thank everyone who has stuck with us so far! You are only ounces away from unlocking the extra Bomb Kit choice slot as well as funding the resin kit for the Jungle Elf on Raptor.
NEXT UP!
$31,000 - Mythga the Orc Shaman - She is chief medicine orc ministering to her southern clanmates with healing, and powerful potions. When we reach this goal it will unlock Mythga as a Babes choice for the Bomb Kit level as well as an optional Add-On for a pledge of $8.

The Maelee Collection
That's right! We have bundled up all of our Maelee miniatures into one place. Included is the original Maelee offered on our first Babes project. It is only available during our Kickstarter events to backers and during other, extremely limited promotions. If you missed out on getting one of these the first time around, now is your chance.
Also included is the regular edition Maelee in addition to the Special Edition Maelee fighting with her wrench, normally only available in the special diorama set. To round out the collection we also offer the all new Wasteland Maelee as well.
Hang in there everyone! The 48 hr notification will be going out later tonight and we anticipate seeing a little surge once the Watchers have checked out the project again. Thanks for all the great support and for getting the word out!
BrookM wrote: Not sure what's so interesting about it. Is it the KS-exclusive Maelee?
Oh, I actually meant the Orc shaman (Mythga). I thought she was a pretty well done sculpt (especially the quilting on her skirt). I'm not sure she is something that would drive me to pledge, but she is certainly different from previous offerings. Whether that will accrue to their benefit remains to be seen.
OrlandotheTechnicoloured wrote: Apparently they lost $12,000 on shipping (postal prices went up between the KS and fulfilment) on the first one
(which must have come close to breaking the new company),
which might explain the 'low cost' nature of the shipping
I'd like to want to be sympathetic, but I put in $200+ on the KS, so I don't have any sympathy for them given the lack of care that was given to my $200 worth of models and won't back any Bombshell KS again.
Eyup, I'm dropping out myself later tonight. There are not enough mini's that I like to make a Bomb Kit pledge level viable for me and there's two mini's I do like, but I'll get those next year when they pop up on-line, shipping will also be a lot more forgiving then unlike now with the Fuse level.

hot off the reaper forum, from bombshell so changes that may help those planning to drop out, basically you can use your bombkit slots for existing ($9.99) babes from the webstore too
Here's the scoop:
This will all be detailed in a followup after the campaign ends, but the summary is this:
Get a Bomb Kit and pick ANY $9.99-priced Babe [from the existing range], or new unlocked Babe, as a reward, up to 8
Add-Ons from the KS section will be the $8 listed for those shown
Anything else you want to pick will be at the posted web store price so pledge accordingly
I hope that helps.

Dropped out also, didn't see new option until post-KS.
There weren't enough models for my taste to justify a Bomb Kit pledge and the shipping for the ones I wanted made the Fuse level an expensive proposition. I'll definitely pick them up when they're available on their webstore, though.
