It is my pleasure to announce the largest contest we've ever run. We are experimenting with some social network stuff at the moment, and are eager to build up our facebook and twitter followers. A huge number of our awesome sponsors have kindly put up prizes for this promotion.

The prizes are as follows (with possibly more to come still):

Courtesy of BattleFoam: PACK 432 custom bag: ($145)
Courtesy of MiniWargaming: Any GW battleforce or battalion (~$115)
Courtesy of Blue Table Painting: $100 of conversions
Courtesy of Warring Souls: $75 of painting
Courtesy of Mechanical Warhorse: $60+ of wreckage markers
Courtesy of Blue Table Painting: $50 of painting

Added 31 Aug:
Courtesy of On The Lamb Games: $100 gift voucher!

Added 1 Sep:
Courtesy of Modest Magic: Castles and Keeps terrain kit ($130)

Added 3 Sep:
Courtesy of Black Dog Painting Studio: $30 of painting
Courtesy of Hyacinth Games: 5 free wreck-age models
Courtesy of Warmill: A battlefield bundle (£45-58)

All you have to do to be able to win a prize is click 'like' on our facebook page or follow us on twitter. If you do both, you effectively get two entries into the prize draw.

In early October, we will randomly select a winner from our likers and followers for each of the prizes above, so there will be at least 6 lucky winners. We have international shipping included for most of the above as well, so if you are not in the US, you can still win a nice prize. We will announce the prizes on facebook and twitter and will message the winners directly on there, so even if you dont have a user account here on dakka, you can still win one of the prizes.

If you are already following us on twitter or like us on facebook then you are already entered in the prize draw and are eligible to win!

If you win a prize but do not want it for some reason, then just tell us and we will re-draw and allocate to somebody else.

There is a promo element on every page on dakka pushing this contest to give our sponsors some bang for their generous buck. You'll be able to click 'hide' to make it vanish forever though, so it should not be too annoying, and once you click 'hide' it is gone forever from each page.

Good luck to everybody!

Wow, I did not know dakkadakka has so much love to give. Onward to glorious raffle!

Holy snackcakes.

Excellent Lego. Excellent.

LEGO, you sold out to Facebook! It's okay, I "liked" you...so I guess I'm a sellout too. Long live Dakka!

Uh.. lots of freebies. All the rage these days! I like it.

Had a post about this recently actually : The Business of Free MIniature Giveaways. Should've waited till Dakka got out theirs

Dakka's on Facebook? Bah, my social life's being impeded on so much by this forum. ...Well futter away I guess. ^^

I'm following on Twitter, my luck's been changing lately I reckon I could get luckier!

Already subscribed to both for some time, I'm eagerly awaiting my rewards

man I want all of those....

Sweet, already entered x2 - easiest contest ever

I'm antisocial, I dont do facebook or twiter so no prize.

None of those interest me, so I unfollowed dakka on twitter.

Everyone enjoy your infinitesimal-but-nonzero increase in chance of winning!

Wow! Very cool prizes! I already followed and liked anyway.

Go go gadget competion

I never win, but several somebodies will

so hoorah

How is warring souls a prize? I would have thought it a punishment. Have you guys SEEN their fantasy work? I thought *I* was bad...

Ima done on FB

Do I get a bonus for liking both before this contest ever happened?

I liked yes yes and i hope my luck changes to better!
Go go dakka! Onwards, to glory!!!

Tickets for the Raffle God, Numbers for the Throne of Bingo!

Are some pages getting redirected to the advert? It hit me once.

Long live dakka

I "Liked" you but i want a puppy now

Funny, I was just wondering what happened to the give aways this morning

GL to everyone

Ooh, I actually signed up for twitter just for this.

Normally I detest "Like","Share","Repost","Follow",etc fishing, but in this instance, given the scope and scale of the delicious bribery you lovely chaps are offering, I'll let it slide.

Good luck everybody, and thanks to Lego for making this happen.

Oh wow, this is fantastic! I really hope I get picked as one of the lucky ones!

I love dakka, and now this raffle!?

*Fat kid squealing over ice cream in joy*

9/20 **EDIT**: I finally caved in an registered with Twitter. Bloody hell...

Awesome! Liked and Subscribed

Cool. I liked the Dakka facebook well before I saw this.

Strangely I hope I win the painting one, just to get a friends model chaplain painted, he knows he sucks at painting, and he really wants his chaplain to look badass.

I just registered on Twitter

Awesome, what a cool idea!
