Sharks, BeesPutty, and Counterblast
Starting Sunday, sink your teeth into our deal for July! All next week you can get our Shark Combo Deal with four fearsome predators for only $30. Hurry, they swim away July 29th.
For those waiting on our BeesPutty restock, the shipment has finally arrived in the US from Germany! If you contacted us previously regarding the restock, we will email you as soon as we have it onsite to let you know it’s available for order.
Development on the new Counterblast book is really coming along now!
The book is really coming along now! Frank is wrapping up the last section of the crew lists. All we have left to write are the profiles for the Neiran Empire. The all-new campaign section is done and formatted in the layout. Now it’s down to some final photographs, diagrams, and art placement plus a few tweaks in the text. We are still on track to get the book off to the printer the first week of August.
Vicky will be notifying all of our pre-order customers in the next few weeks to verify the shipping addresses. We want to make sure your Counterblast orders get to the right place!
Charles and Travis came out to the Bombshell shop today to do an awesome amount of work getting the sheetrock on the ceiling and walls of the sculpting studio. It topped out at 107°F outside and we had the portable AC units running which kept it around 90°F while we were working in the space.
See you in a couple of weeks!

Counterblast – Layout Progress
There is still a bit of work to do completing the Crew Lists for the Lancers, Mekkus, and Neiran Empire sections of the Counterblast 2.0 rulebook. Frank has done a great job of setting up the lists in a comprehensive way using Google Sheets. Vicky and I are wrapping up the final details on those lists as Frank is working on completing the campaign section.

Files for the book layout
I have broken down all of the sub-sections of the book and have started the final process of adding art and graphics to the necessary pages. I will be photographing models and scenic vignettes this week to drop into the layouts.

There is a new 16-page section detailing all of the setting and background titled Earth and the Outer Reaches written by Vicky. She has also written 4 to 6 page sections of new material detailing each one of the faction that will be included in the crew list sections. Those layouts are almost complete and are waiting on the finalized crew lists.
We are getting very close to publication, and the big push is to have the printed materials in to ship out all of the pre-orders before ReaperCon over Labor Day weekend.

Factory Update – Framing
Framing on the interior of the shop is complete! There are a few areas along the ceiling corners that will need additional support for drywall but that will be going up in a couple of days.
Next up, roughing in all of the electrical wiring. Lighting fixtures have been selected and HVAC options are being considered. We hope to have that all installed in the next couple of weeks.

May’s Offer and Counterblast Layout
Lots of progress on the Counterblast 2.0 book layout was made this week! The introduction and rules sections have been blocked out and formatted with all of the paragraph and object styles.
I built the table of contents so that it automatically updates as pages are modified.
Frank is still working on filling out the remaining crew list items so we’ll be formatting the stat blocks and cards soon. Blank space will be filled with diagrams and photos of models.
The Missions section has been formatted to make it easy to print the pages from the PDF so players can cut them out for easier reference.
Later this week I will be tackling the crew list sections which will be full of tables and nested layouts so it will be pretty labor intensive. More pics as it comes along!
