Harald Hardrada Giveaway!



Lots of bloggers out there seem to be running giveaways of one sort or another, so I thought I might share the love as well. My blog is just over 4 years old, it have 180 followers and my birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, but most importantly I thought it is just a good opportunity to say thanks to all of you who visit my humble blog and take the time to post comments, make suggestions, share some banter and such. I was particularly touched by the very kind comments many of you made after my father's death. There are lots of good people out there.

So, by way of saying thanks, I am going to give away this painted figure of Harald Hardrada.

The rules are simple really. You just need to be a follower on my blog and post a comment saying that you would like to go into the draw. Feel free to share the news, but you don't need to if you can't be arsed.

Entries close next Monday, 20 August, at midday Sydney time. After that I will randomly draw the winner and arrange to post you the figure.

Good luck!

    This is a nice miniature, that worn-off shield design looks really good to me.

    Cheers,
    Thomas

    I was going to buy that figure soon, but I've got a good feeling that could be flying over to the UK pretty soon!
    That was me entering the competition!

    I love free stuff so count me in, but if that was my figure I'd never give it away, it's far too nice ;)

    Regards,

    Many happy returns of the birthday to come and my compliments on the painting of the figure. Afraid he won't fit well with my Elastolins and my shelves are over flowing already so count me out, best he go somewhere where he'll see action but Kudos on the give away.

    Hi, Been reading this blog on and off ,always likes to read more then play :)
    I recently made a big return to gaming when my son fried his PC and started to use my gaming rigg instead .

    So listening to miles davies and having some whiskey at late evenings painting my new Saga Viking army or play some 6mm napoleonic battles is a relaxing end of a hectic day

    So please count me in for the draw for that lovely figure , my vikings sure needs a leader
