Darklord Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Copied over from wamp: Posted by Captain Sprout In the spirit of the Privateer Press entry I had something I ordered arrive as something else completely and have no use for some of the models (and I don't like them!). Got these http://www.diver.pt/loja/images/Cryx...tch_Thrall.jpg Didn't order them and only rather like the thingy in the middle (no idea what it is or why) so will keep that. If anyone wants two of the things on the right and the thing on the left let me know..if you paint them up for the comp in some shape or form you can have them for nothing, first come first served. So if anyone is interested pm captain sprout here or at wamp or failing that myself. The privateer press category has 2 x $50 credit up for grabs and you can even have a free mini to enter with!!

Peterdita Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I really hope everyone does everything they can to get involved in this. Lots of manufactures have been VERY generous with the prizes and it would be awesome if the mini painitng community could all pitch in and get behind this.

Darklord Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Important News! right I have 2 announcements for you: Although we have had a great response so far with entries I know there are many of you that wanted to do more but havent had the time. In response the deadline for all entries has been extended until 28th March 2010 This gives you another 8 weeks in which to submit further entries. The extended deadline is open to all categories and all previous rules still apply. This is a great chance to enter some of the categories with less entries in - a brilliant chance to grab yourself some free lead. If your the only entrant in a category your bound to win something!! Below are categories with no entries so far Avatars Of War Guild of Harmony Kabuki Kingdom Death Mantic Games Minipainters Myrmidon Studios Rafm Redbox Reiver castings Studio Mcvey The extended deadline is also a great opportunity to enter a brand new category kindly sponsored by Raging Heroes http://www.ragingheroes.com They are putting forward two prizes - 2 sets of their Asharahs command groups , 1 in 28mm and 1 in 54mm (each set contains 3 miniatures.) some great looking minis too As always, if you have any questions feel free to contact m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
