IMO, the 3rd prize prize is the best.

5000 pts of WotR, where "elites" cost ~4-5 pts/model?

Yes!

Sorry, John, it says Warhammer/40k, no mention of LotR/WotR. Why do people think they will get to choose the specific minis? Every time I have heard of people winning the "army of your choice", they only got to pick the army, not what specific minis make it up.

Wait.. what does it mean "address nickname"? I'm not in the habit of having affectionate monikers for my house.

That would be true, just I've never seen them say 'A 5000pt game-legal army of your choice'. A Battalion of your choice maybe.
Its a pity the promotion doesn't cover specialist games and LotR.

Hmmmm thats the thing. If you can pick any army. Why wouldnt you just pick something you could sell for a crapper ton then buy multiple armies? I would assume there will be restrictions but I hope you can pick the minis

Since i'll never win it , i'll list what i want here for fun!

Sqig army with TONS of squigs and squig riders!

Darn you Luna, that was my idea... Ive always wanted to have a nightgoblin army that consisted of WAY to many squig and squig hoppers

Oh well! its not like we'll win it T-T ( can you imagine having to glue / trim all those metal squigs lol )

Ewwww I dont want to think about it... I also thought about a full night goblin army... you realize how many night goblins you would get with 5000 points... I would never get them painted... EVER

Surely not...

"Terms and conditions apply." One of those terms/conditions is that THERE IS NO PRIZE!

Better check the fine print. Anyway, I agree with some of you guys, the 1st prize doesn't sound all that great. I'd much rather have 2 or 3, or whatever the cash value of prize number 1 is. Getting to see Warhammer World doesn't sound all that entertaining, especially if you're one of the lucky few who live within driving distance anyway. But a 5k point army on the other hand...

Warhammer World is over rated.
Let's see now...Marvel at various statues/uruk hai....15 minutes. Gawp at gallery with all the models in.....45 minutes. Looking around the store....10 minutes. Looking around the main room with playing boards....30 minutes. Bugmans Bar....However long you choose to make of it.

You can spend at best an afternoon at Warhammer World if you're not there to play games or get drunk.

Well, winning a 5k army would certainly get me into the hobby again, thats for sure. But I never win anything lol

Am I misunderstanding that this is for everyone but the US?

US is counted amongst the participating countries. Unless I'm misunderstanding.

Presumably there is a way to add multiple adddresses, so you can identify your Home vs. Work vs. Weird Ed's addresses by a short nickname isntead of the full address.

I think Papa John's online ordering does the same thing.

I would give away 2000 pts as payment to get 3000 pts painted.

Its actually very do-able now with skull pass.

Though painting hmm..... spray them all black! dot the eyes red and call it finished xD

I think that may be the point.

I have a terrible feeling I'm already registered twice...that may annoy them... sorry GW

Hang on, are hobby centres a special kind of store or just your regular GW stores?

BrookM wrote:Hang on, are hobby centres a special kind of store or just your regular GW stores?

It's probably only the stores marked Hobby Centre on the find a store feature (aka, only their own stores). So just Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Den Haag for us Dutchies.

That's a relief, I think.

There are none in Lousiana. Or Mississippi, as far as I can see, so I'm never anywhere near one.

I bet just like the draws at games day its going to be rigged.

They ask for your age and will probably go through and only pick jimmy ADD who will get 5000pts of useless junk while any smart gamer would say "get me 5000pts of your most expense models so I can sell it on ebay".

Give me 30 Ogryn and 9 Valkyries and I'll sell that for $500 easy.

Same deal with the warhammer world thing they are going to eliminate anyone in Britian from winning it since you are a car drive away.

I question GWs motives behind pimping their website so hard.

But its a legit list. dont think 30 ogryn 9 valks is legit... I mite be mistaken though <_<

Buttlerthepug wrote:But its a legit list. dont think 30 ogryn 9 valks is legit... I mite be mistaken though <_<

3 elite slots of 10 ogres each and 3 fast attack slots of 3 valkyries each, and still have a few thousand points left to spend on other stuff.

I havent looked at the new IG codex... Now i really dont want too.....

Surely if this was an Evil Scheme (tm) they'd eliminate anyone OTHER than from Britain (hell, maybe anyone more than a bus-ride from Lenton away) to keep their costs down?

If it were rigged then I'd definitely expect them to pick someone from Britain not the other way around, then they don't gotta pay for airfare and they'll prolly just have you sleeping on Jervis's sofa anyway
