It's Competition Time!

So, after three and a half years of photographing the models I've painted and tapping away at this keyboard, this humble blog has passed two pretty big milestones. For that I want to thank you all!

All 1,514 Blog Followers! I want to thank you all for your support, and over 1,000,000 page views!

To celebrate I've decided to give away my Tyranid army. I've never shown this army on my blog, as I painted it around five years ago. You may have seen it, however, in the 40K 5th Edition rulebook (photo below). There's roughly 1,500 points of Hive Fleet Kraken goodness that has never been played with, but has made a trip to the UK for photography ; )

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO WIN?

Well, it's pretty simple. Here are the three steps to victory:

A) Donate $5 or more to the Black Crusade 2012 by the end of August 5th. You can check out their cool charity project here. Please put your "blogger name" in the comment section of your donation.

B) Be a follower of this blog, and leave a comment at the bottom of this post that promotes your favorite toy soldier blog (not this one, but someone else's). That way we can work together to build all blog traffic : ) Again, you need to do this by the end of August 5th.

C) Sit back and relax. Once I'm back from vacation I'll be checking in with Falk (from the Black Crusade and Tabletop Fix) and cross-referencing the entries with "blogger names" and so on. Once I have all that squared away I'll put up a new post and let everyone know when the random drawing will be.

Should be fun, I hope you enjoy promoting cool blogs, and helping out the wargaming community.

Best of luck to all!

Cheers

Dave

The Black Crusade is launched!

In 2010 and 2011, I worked with a dedicated team of hobbyists across the country to bring you two great charity events. The first was The Stormwardens Army build, the second was The Heroes of Armageddon Army builds. Over those two years we raised close to $50,000 for Doctors Without Borders, an amazing charity doing great work around the world.

Well, during last year's efforts we worked ourselves a little too hard and stretched ourselves a little too thin. When it cam to talking about this year's efforts we agreed we might take a little break.

Thankfully, Falk from Tabletop Fix was waiting in the wings to fill the void.

He has teamed up with a bunch of other hobbyists and has recently launched the Black Crusade of 2012. Click on the link, check out the details, and consider getting involved in some way or other. The cause is another good one, and I'll be following their progress. With any luck it'll get me excited about participating in another crazy thing next year!

Cheers
