The "250th Post, and 4 Years" milestone giveaway!

Holy cow! I just took a gander at my post history and this is post #250. Not only that, but as of yesterday, I've been banging away at the blog for 4 years. FOUR YEARS?! How does that happen? I want to send all my readers a huge THANK YOU for all the support, comments, and constructive criticism you've given me over the years, and as a token of my appreciation, I delved into the Closet of Doom to come up with something to use for the reward for a giveaway contest! How does a brand spanking new Stormraven sound?


As part of the planning for the Heresy-Era World Eaters, I'd picked up a Stormraven kit that I was going to use for conversion fodder to make a Stormhawk. Of course, not but two weeks later, Forge World announced their Storm Eagle, and suddenly the kit I'd picked up became superfluous. So, here's the plan - 1) if you're a follower of my blog, and 2) you post a comment on this post, on Sunday night (4/22/12) I'll randomly pick out one of you fine folks and send you a brand new, on the sprue Stormraven kit (sans shrinkwrap though, as I had opened it to ensure everything was intact and correct)!

Once again, a tremendous thank you to all of you who have followed along on my meanderings through the blogosphere, and I hope to provide you with many more years of hobby goodness!

Cheers all!

  13. Congratulations on both counts, matey!

    I know I've drawn a lot of inspiration from what you've posted over the years, and thanks for the nods back, too!

    Your generosity is, I think, exceeded only by the evident coolness of your generosity.

    Here's to the next 250, eh?

    - Chris.

  17. Congrats! (And of course, great giveaway!)

    Also, I'm really glad to see you joined up with Apocalypse40k forum. I've been following your work for a while now. Plus, you're the one who turned me onto Davinci's Sabre tanks, so that alone deserves thanks (now if only I can get him to sell me one!).

  19. Nice one man, I'm not far off similar milestones myself, scary times :)

    I'm similarly always slightly hesitant to chukc my hat in the ring for givaways, as I never know which country people are in, (being a brit) and I dont want to be the cause of hideously high shipping expenses. so yeah, if you pull my name out o the hat, talk to me about shipping eh? :)

  27. As a long time lurker, it's long over due for me to give you a thumbs up for all your stuff. I reckon I should steal some of your mojo and finally start that blog I've been meaning to for the last four years. Here's to another four.
