Deus_Ex_Machina Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Whoever wins this stuff would need three years of consecutive painting to get it all done.

Lathe Biosas Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Last time I won anything it was a VHS copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's been a while... Heck, if I won this, I wouldn't have to buy my friends Christmas or Birthday gifts for a loooooong time.

I see to remember someone on here winning a GW giveaway many, many years ago. Mate of mine won a million on the UK lottery about eight years ago. 9 hours ago, Vassakov said: I've entered, and then immediately wondered "why?" as I'm not even sure I'd want like 80+% of this stuff. The SM II vinyl would be cool though... Yeah I'm the same, if it had been like the old one then yeah I'd enter but most of this stuff doesn't appeal to me. Feels more like clearing out the studio stock cupboard than a proper giveaway. Bit surprised no Tzaangors though, probably the only thing they haven't tried putting them in! dalmer 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387104-50-years-of-warhammer-prize-contest/page/2/#findComment-6142051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkia the Bloody Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Thank you for sharing this. I logged in. Also, I know quite a few people who have won lotteries and great prizes- my parents even once won the lottery which enabled my family to get all new living room furniture. A friend of mine won a car at a radio prize draw last year. So it is not impossible. If I win, this forum WILL know about it. dalmer, LameBeard and TheArtilleryman 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387104-50-years-of-warhammer-prize-contest/page/2/#findComment-6142058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonstalker Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Stuff I don't want or can't use, I'd support my local hobby/gaming scene with. Start contributing them as prizes for painting competitions, tournaments, etc. Unloading it on eBay seems like a pain, but donating a box every now and then as a prize would be low effort and make a lot of people happy. ggergnayr, ThaneOfTas, Magos Takatus and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387104-50-years-of-warhammer-prize-contest/page/2/#findComment-6142088 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithrilforge Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 I don't have a GW account anymore so didn't enter.

If I won this then my son and I would probably have half a dozen boxes each, give a couple things out to friends and then eBay the rest to fund the kids’ sports training for the year. I thought exactly the same thing about needing boxes … Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387104-50-years-of-warhammer-prize-contest/page/2/#findComment-6142295 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many many years ago, when legend of the five rings was a very popular and active trading card game I entered a sweepstake at my local hobby shop. To my complete surprise, I won an uncut sheet of legend of the five rings cards, as well as a pack containing every single card they had made. I think I still have that sheet of cards rolled up somewhere and the other cards bouncing around somewhere as well. I’m hoping to replicate that luck with either a $1 billion dollar Powerball lottery, or probably the equally priced games workshop 50th anniversary prize.
