..which goes someway towards explaining those T shirts methinks perhaps ? That and the new podcasting thingy.

This is actually pretty sweet ;

It's been over a year since we launched the new games-workshop.com site in the US. Since then we have been adding new versions for the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Holland, Eire, Denmark, Australia and Canada.

With one website, we can now add new content and features in five languages at the same time - you can already see the results with What's New Today, Astronomican and The Best of White Dwarf archive all launched in the last few weeks. And this is only the start...

Through the last year, we've had a lot of support and feedback from hobbyists around the world so we thought August would be a good time to have a bit of a celebration of the new games-workshop.com, so we're having not one, but two prize draws for registered customers of games-workshop.com

Hobby Centre Competition

A Battleforce or Battallion to be won in every Hobby Centre
At the end of August, we're going to be doing a prize draw for every Hobby Centre from all the registered customers who put that Hobby Centre down as "My Store". The winning customer for each Hobby Centre (now with over 360 worldwide), will be able to choose a Battleforce of Battalion of their choice on their next visit. Terms and Conditions apply.

Global Competition

Three Global MEGAPRIZES
We're also giving away three of the biggest prizes from Games Workshop ever in a global prize draw from all games-workshop.com registered customers`;

1st prize: A trip for two to visit Games Workshop HQ, The Studio and Wahammer World, including flights, train fares and hotel accommodation.

2nd prize: Every new product that Games Workshop releases for the next twelve months

3rd prize: A 5,000 point (game legal) Warhammer or Warhammer 40,000 army of your choice.

As with the other prize draw, Terms and Conditions apply.

How do you qualify for these prize draws? Simply register on games-workshop.com. If you're already registered, you're already in the prize draw. We'll close both prize draws at the end of August and notify the winners in September by email.

**statu**

hope they follow through on that

**Rated G**

Am I the only one that thinks it would suck to win first prize? The runner up prizes are ace.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Time to read the terms and conditions, and see how I can cheat horribly to win prizes 1, 2 and indeed 3, plus the free Batallion.

I think I'm already Registered on the site. 99% sure I am.

Wonder if this could become an annual thing? Free stuff is usually good stuff (I say usually, because no matter if completely gratis, stuff like being shot in the head, kicked in the nuts, set on fire, buggered by a rabid Donkey is never good)

**Mekboy**

But why would you want to win that first prize?

I'd much prefer a 5k point army or every new GW product for a year.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Indeed but a visit to the Studio is still pretty dashed cool.

Perhaps if you win 1st, you get 2nd and 3rd as extras? Stacked prizes like?

**reds8n**

Because whilst Mr. HBMC was in the Nottingham area he could, for example, pop down the road to visit another company that might sell wargaming products.

..... still I guess with GW's prices of late compared to air fares then.. ah, you can fill it in yourselves from here on in.

The free battalion thing is pretty sweet as well really, I'm guessing that 99% of people who post here are already registered anyway.

**Redbeard**

Wow, winning (1) would be great, I could visit family while I was overseas.

I dunno, there's more to life than having things.

Perhaps, but the actual monetary value of 1st is much higher for GW than 2nd and 3rd.

**Lorek**

Yeah, I'd rather have the trip. I can buy all the other stuff at my FLGS if I want it.

I may have to go register (if I already haven't; I don't remember).

**Necros**

hmm, they seem like pretty cool prizes. A free 5000 pt army might be nice. I'd take that over 2nd place. If I won first place, I dunno who I'd bring with me.. my girlfriend would laugh at me if I asked her to fly to england to play army men with me.

**Blightdrone**

That actually sounds incredible!

I'd love to win the 5000pt (legal) army....

I'm already registered as well! Awesome!

Cheers,

Jack.

And then in the good days, the days of joy, the days after the win, verily did his PM box overflow with sudden offers of friendship from his many new BFF on Dakka..

extracted from "When the internet finally broke" published December 2009. May God have mercy on us all.

**Kanluwen**

I wonder if #3 would also include Forge World products...

If so, Elysians here I come!

**Cryonicleech**

My God.

I gotta Sign up!!!!

EVERY NEW PRODUCT FOR 12 MONTH'S?!!?!?! OR A 5,000 POINT LEGAL ARMY!?!?!? FREE BANBLADES, TRYGONS, GUARD STUFF!!!?!?! TERRAIN!!?!?!

I don't know anyone here who could say no to this.

1st. Prize is cool but MY GOD!?!?!

You might think that... I doubt it though. I'd find it somewhat hard to believe that they'd fly you in for one day, rush you through HQ, and send you packing. Especially given that airfare is cheaper if you spend more than a day somewhere. So you take one day of your 3-day, 4-night trip at GW, and one day wandering around whatever part of London seems fun to your gf, and she'll love it.

**Death Gear**

GW web site wont let me on my thingey NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

**Kanluwen**

I wonder how ticked off someone will be if they win the megaprize

Truly the quote of a man who has all the things that he wants/needs already.

Though ironically I will agree.

...Yup, just confused myself in my own damn post, I'll go away now.

P.S.: I'd definitely rather have prizes 2 or 3, I could keep it or sell that stuff NiB and still afford to see Europe.

That is the sort of response I'd expect when one's girlfriend won't let one on her thingy

**oni**

I saw this a little while ago. How sweet it would be to win an all expense paid trip to Warhammer World.

**temprus**

While Prize #2 would be very nice, after thinking it over, Prize #1 would be nice for someone like me that would most likely never to go to those places on my own dime. Then again, unless the market turns against my company again, I probably could never get the time off required to use the prize.

Odds are, whoever wins #1 will already live close to the UK HQ.

I wonder if Prize #2 would include ALL new releases such as new Apocalypse Sets and Direct Only or just the "normal" monthly new/splash releases?

**Velour_Fog**

GW... giving stuff away?

Surely not...

**Shinigami**

I've been to Warhammer World a couple of times, it is very cool. The gallery is great, and of course it has Bugman's, which is a properly Warhammery pub, with Orc heads on the wall and everything. Visiting the studio would be very cool too. I hope this is an annual thing!

**statu**

i was just thinking that with no2 in the international one, and assuming that all gw releases are included, eg apocalypse, and GW does release a plastic warhound/thunderhawk, would they release before of after the end date

**reds8n**

I would very much doubt that the giving away of a single warhound etc if thet were to release such an item would cause them to delay the release date.

If you think about it, it is one hell of a crafty wat to then get you to spend £/$ on the army you ust got the free book for.

Postal service are going to hate you if you live somewhere awkward or remote !

Same here i don't think it would suck though it's still a good prize

**SonofTerra**

I would love to enter....except apparently GW stores dont exist here in BC according to the GW website..........

i wonder if anyone who bought products at the store is entered, as they have your information?

**Mithrax**

Prize #1 would make a good honeymoon for the fiance and I.

**Redemption**

Well, winning nr 2 would be awesome if included all the wonky sets like the Spear of Sicarius. Finally a use for sets like that!
