Prizes and Manufacturers Awards!

[Nathan Caroland]

The support for this contest has been well above expectations and I am quite pleased to see the interest in the Wyrd Painting Contests grow. It is only fair that those supporting the contest have their support packages advertised as well so that you can thank them properly as well as to get an idea of the type of swag that is available!

:D

Also this year, we are starting up a new 'Manufacturers Award' which has been requested in the past and we'll be implimenting starting with this contest. In order to cater to their fanbase some manufacturers have sent along additional product to be distributed to those that enter their miniatures into the contest and at the end of the voting, it will be determined seperately by the manufacturer and a small panel of peers the 'Best of (Manufacturer)'. These additional prizes will be sent out to the contestants, regardless whether their entry wins in a category or not.

As the support packages are still arriving, I will update this list as they arrive or information is made available.

Thanks again and we all eagerly look forward to your entries!

[Nathan Caroland]

Obviously we will be supporting our own contest as well, and to that end we will be providing several copies of each of our miniature, Bishop, Baby Kade, Killjoy, Viktoria, Ramos and Pandora.

Manufacturers Award: Should a Wyrd miniature be submitted to the contest, the 'Best of Wyrd' will receive the next two miniatures that we will be releasing in March; Vasyl - 'Corpus Sanguinius' and Taelor - Lady Hammerstrike.



Wyvern Games LLC is an online store that carries a large line of miniatures and has sent along a huge selection of new and classic miniatures ranging from AD&D, Chainmail, Warzone, Void and CAV!

oooooooooowwwwww.....






and now for a more intelegent reply..... oh man oh man oh man oh man....







...... ok 3th try... wow. Those are quite a few things that I wouldn't mind getting my hands on. And quite some companies haven't even shown their figs yet. Very very prommising..... (looks at her paintjobs so far.... hmmmm... those paintjobs need to be more promissing, and more... where did I put those brushes.... cracks paint whip at self for effect.)

[vincegamer]

Fenryll hasn't stepped in yet? Well I guess I won't be entering one of theirs....

[Nathan Caroland]

They haven't, but then again, the contest isn't for everyone every time about. Maybe next time, no worries, and honestly, feel free to enter anything that catches your attention, it does not have to be simply from these sponsors if that is your wish.

[Duende]

Ooooooooh, now I feel like I have to get a whole variety done! Manufacturer's prizes are a good idea since it encourages buying minis from different companies, especially the smaller ones since there may be less competition for the prize.

I suppose Revalation can't send a Manufacturer prize... none of thier current releases are female!

I hope more do this, there's a couple with "TBA"s after them that I hope will offer something... :pray:

[gi6ers]

Great stuff, I just wish more of this was easier to get in the UK..

Will be entering at least three of these manufacturers depending on what ends up in the stripping pot :thumb:

[Klute]

Thats a massive incentive to do more entries.

Rock on.

[Nathan Caroland]

:bump:

Updated the sponsors list for Privateer Press and Eastern Front Studios. Some more goodies to salivate over.
