Wu Ling Shu funds to make way for the Valkyrie.

We made Wu Ling Shu a reality! You have all made this possible by spreading the word, digging deep and holding fast! Now that we have filled the slots for the NAPALM LEVEL there is nothing holding us back!

TARGET ACQUIRED


$80,000 ACHIEVED - THANK YOU!!!  Wuxia heroine Wu Ling Shu comes to fight for family honor. This goal makes Wu Ling Shu available as an additional Babes choice at any level that has a Babes choice as a reward. Wu Ling Shu also gets someone to watch her back, so Sidekick Ping will join the fight with her and is added to every BOMB KIT absolutely FREE!

TARGET SCANNING


$85,000+ Chooser of the Slain Geirahöd the Valkyrie will swoop to the battlefield as an additional Babes choice at any level that has a Babes choice as a reward. Along with that, when the goal is reached, we will add a Fantasy Weapon Sprue to every BOMB KIT for FREE!

The name Geirahöð is connected to the Old Norse words geirr ("spear") and höð ("battle"). It appears in some manuscripts of Grímnismál in place of the valkyrie name Geirölul. I purchased the original drawing for Geirahöð from Wayne Reynolds while at Reaper Con in 2011. After contacting him and requesting to purchase the rights to the art for miniature production he was very agreeable. So we now include her here as the next goal to achieve to make her available as an additional Babe selection.

New Contributor - Wayne Reynolds - Artist

Wayne is a highly popular artist with card art, cover art and interior art for some of the largest publishers in the gaming industry. He is known for dynamic action scenes, detailed character designs and pointy sideburns. Wayne paints exclusively with a traditional process of paint on board rendering some of the most iconic images for games like Magic the Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder.

Onward, humans, to glory! Let's rock out this final week of the project and set Bombshell up to do great things!

I am working on several of the concepts currently and will have more photos of the sculpts as they progress.

Call in Your Reinforcements!!!

____________
____________

We have now turned the choices over to you, our loyal backers, to see what would be the most viable goal to reach next. Select the option you would most like to see offered as the next stretch goal. The poll will close at Midnight CDT Friday September 28th, 2012.

After that time, we will look at the poll results and list the goals and rewards offered in the order they are most popular. With so many great concepts available and only a short time remaining until the Babes Kickstarter Project closes, we felt this was the best way to get you the Reinforcements you really wanted.

Larger images of the designs can be found in our Concept Art Gallery.

Remember, vote early and vote often! The poll will tell us which goals you would like to see next.

I am as excited as you are to find out which one of the fantastic ideas will be offered next!

$75,000+ Rings up Steampunk Medic Victoriana to make a house call. When this goal is reached Victoriana will be available as an additional Babes choice at any level that has a Babes choice as a reward.

We have also included a new ADDITIONAL SUPPORT option with the Sidekicks Set 2. You can add on this set of helpful (or harmful) little critters to any backer reward level for an additional pledge amount of only $10.

More Babes!


We have added the rest of the art to fill out the remaining slots for available Babes choices at the NAPALM LEVEL! If you have been holding out to upgrade to this level there will now be a Babe available for every slot for the 15 choices for this backer level. These Babes will only be available as choices to every level that gets to choose a Babe as a reward if we make the goals indicated in order to put them into production.

Many thanks go to Cris Delara and Tim Collier for getting these in under the gun. We are very excited to bring Steampunk Medic Victoriana and wuxia heroine Wu Ling Shu to wrap up this segment of releases. There is also a mysterious silhouette posted following the $80K goal. She will be revealed once the poll for the Reinforcements has been sorted out.

You can see larger versions of the character art in our Concept Art Gallery here.

There are three additional sets we are considering adding and the art is currently being generated. As soon as they are in and posted, we will send out the link to the poll to start the voting.

Your support, patience and enthusiasm have been remarkable and I am deeply honored to be able to share this work with all of you. Thanks again for making it all possible.
