took the plunge too,

the minis are spot on for what I need them... well the latest green is promising at start I was not so fond of her but the pose is nice and the equipment is what I need, the head... well as much I would have preferred ponytail at start now I think the character she will be used for has no ponytail... (character rewrite!). more ot the point Granger is spot on for the evil LTC Grissom (former USMC now working for a shady private group called the Consortium that has backing from mr.  Putin too!  :D no politics, I just need to use my modern Russians!).

Thanks for the pledge, much appreciated and glad you like the sculpts!

We're getting closer and closer to unlocking the excellent Ghost sculpt at the £2500 level, so to tempt some more people in and bump us ever closer to that target, we've just updated the project with some new Add-Ons and some Freebies!

First up we've got some Boxes and Sacks!

These will be a freebie option once we hit the £2500 mark. Every pledge level at 'FULL SQUAD' or above can add either: 1 FREE pack of Boxes (contains 6 different boxes) OR 1 FREE pack of Sacks (contains 6 sacks, in 3 different sizes). If we hit £3000, then we will include a pack of each!


(the boxes are fresh out of a master mould, so they need a bit of cleaning up before we go to production on those)


And secondly, we've got some Drums and Crates!

These are available now on all pledge levels, simply increase your pledge by £1 for every pack of Drums or Crates you would like. So:

- If you want 1 pack of Drums, simply add £1 to your pledge.

- If you want 3 packs of Drums and 1 pack of Crates, simply add £4 to your pledge.

We've now hit the £2500 mark and our excellent Ghost sculpt has now been unlocked.  Thanks to everyone who has pledged and I hope you like him!




He will be added FREE to any 'FULL SQUAD' pledges and will also be available for selection on all other pledge levels.

Moving forwards, our next target is £3000, where we'll be unlocking a handy Objective Marker:




This is a good-sized piece, around 50mm across, so would look great with a flag flying high or piled up with some of the Boxes.  It will be available as an Add-On, at the bargain price of £1 each!

As well as unlocking Ghost, every backer at 'FULL SQUAD' and above will now receive a FREE pack of either Boxes or Sacks.  (We'll ask you which you want when it comes to the surveys)  If we can hit the £3000 mark, we'll put a pack of each into your pledges instead!

If anyone would like any extra packs of Boxes or Sacks, simply add £1 to your pledge for each extra pack you would like.  So:

- If you want 2 packs of Boxes: You already get one pack for free, so add £1 to your pledge.

- If you want 1 pack of Boxes and 3 packs of Sacks: You already get one pack for free, so you need to add £3 to your pledge.

So that's everything for now, with 9 days still to run on our project let's see how high we can go!  If you've got any friends who you think might be interested in getting involved, please pass our details on to them and we'll hopefully see them on board as well!

Congrats on reaching the new mark.

Now, any chance for a more pics of all the minis, if not 360 but to show their gear bit more closely?

Thanks for the reply, we're away at the Border Reiver show in Newcastle on Saturday, so I'll get some more pics taken of the mini's next week for everyone.  I'm hoping to have the first of the painted examples back to us before the KS ends as well.

We've hit the £3000 mark now, which puts us at 200% funded!  And there's still 3 days to go!  With us hitting this target, we've got 3 bonuses to tell everyone about:

- Everyone at 'FULL SQUAD' or above now gets a FREE pack of Boxes AND a FREE pack of Sacks with their pledge:




- Our Objective Marker is now unlocked and available, simply add £2 to your pledge for each 70mm wide marker you would like:




- And as a final bonus for everyone who has pledged into this project, we're giving everyone 20% off anything they want from the Minibits website:




We'll confirm the details of this bit once the KS ends and we start on the surveys.  This offer covers anything at all you'd like from our webstore, from MDF bases and paints through to decals and MDF buildings, so hopefully there's something there for everyone.  You'll be able to send us a list of what you'd like and then we'll price it up with the discount and invoice you through PayPal.

NOTE: There may be additional postage costs depending on what / how much you order, but we'll make sure to keep them as low as possible.

That 20% discount is a nice touch.

And we're all funded!



Thanks to everyone who pledged into our project, all 139 of you!  We'll be spending the next couple of month getting these guys cast up, packaged and sent out to you as quickly as possible.  I'll be posting regular updates for the backers along the way.

Once we've fulfilled all of the pledges, the figures will be released and available through Minibits: http://www.minibits.net/  I'll post here again when the figures are ready for release.

Thanks again to everyone for their support!
