Competition Time!

Having passed the significant milestone of 200,000 page views, it's time to return some love to all you fine people who visit my blog.

So, I have three prizes up for grabs.

PRIZE 1:
I'll paint something for you. I'm open to negotiation on this, but you might like something such as a SAGA warlord based up along with one of the Fenris Games Runestones I referred to here. Or maybe a unit of Swords for Hire for SAGA. Or maybe a small squad (up to 10 or so 28mm figures) of sci-fi, pulp figures, whatever really. Oh, and I'll supply the figures.

PRIZE 2:
A while back I made an impulse purchase of some 18mm Eureka/AB figures for Lasalle. I've since decided to stick with 1/72 figures when the Napoleonic bug bites again. So, prize 2 consists of 2 Lasalle packs of unpainted figures from Eureka Miniatures (codes LAS F-04 and LAS F-18). When based for Lasalle these will give you a battalion of French line infantry for the Hundred Days and a Regiment of Chasseurs a Cheval. For a detailed description of what's in each pack, see here. Lovely figures.

PRIZE 3:
A copy of the rulebook 'Disposable Heroes and Coffin for Seven Brothers', which you can read about here.

To enter, just post a comment saying which prize(s) you want to go in the draw for. You need to be a follower of the blog. Put in for all 3 if you want. Entries close at noon (Australian Eastern Standard Time), Friday 8 March, after which I'll draw the winners out of a stylish hat.

Good luck!

    Well done Dux. Put me down for prize one with perhaps an Arthurian flavour, or something that would work with Dux Bellorum ;)

    I've heard good things about Disposable Heroes, but I'm afraid I probably wouldn't get time to play it!

    Congrats on the 200,000 page views! Though it's certain to be more than that by now. Always good stuff to be seen here.

    I'll toss my stylish hat into the slightly larger and equally stylish hats for Prizes 1 and 2.

    Mucho congratulations! I'd like to go in for all three if I might be so bold! I'm especially looking to win a Brian Blessed warlord for my SAGA Vikings :)

      I'd settle for a tip on where to get the Brian Blessed figure too ;)

    2. Dux HomunculorumMarch 5, 2013 at 3:20 AM

      Mr Biscuits - I'll put you down for all three. Brian is just a plastic figure from the Wargames Factory Viking Huscarls box. One of the heads is particularly Brian-esque.

    3. Scary BiscuitsMarch 5, 2013 at 4:42 PM

      Great! Thanks, I may need to grab a box of them then!
