Any word on the competition?

**Bloodhorror**

Yeah.

I won.

HAHAHAHA!

I wish :(

**Valic**

Wonder if this is still active... no winner... signing up just in case!

**Eldercaveman**

They did say some time early in the new year

**noneoftheabove0**

They had said the first of January. Now, it could be that they were talking 2027 rather than 2013, but I was just making an assumption. Also, as of me writing this, no news on their forums. http://www.ultimate-terrain-forums.com/index.cgi?board=general

**Eldercaveman**

It makes me sad how excited I got about this,

**kenshin620**

Well, your not signing up for them might have something to do with that.

I know how you feel. :/

Lol.

Seems like these guys just bunked off.

I wonder what the original idea was. They certainly didn't "use" their giveaway-publicity for much.

They were Scottish, so we should have expected them to be to tight to give away stuff

**Shepherd23**

I just entered. This would be an awesome win! It will make up for the fact that I never win at the lottery! Of course I have about as much of a chance, but ince they haven't announced, I figured it couldn't hurt.

**tyrant of loserville**

Ill take some scotch if thats the case

**noneoftheabove0**

Via their You Tube account.

Ultimate Terrain

The announcement of the competition is long overdue but will be arranged ASAP and probably within the week starting 28th Jan

**Eldercaveman**

thats today!

**Eldercaveman**

............waiting.................

Due to the number of people that have entered the competition after the closing date, we have decided to extend the deadline. A more detailed description will be uploaded tomorrow.

That was posted on the 28th on their YouTube account. No further word.

**dlust1**

thanks for this awesome contest, I hope I win, ive been wanting to start a wood elf army for ages, but ive been broke. lol. all my moneys been going into the tau and grey knight armies I already have.

**SalamanderMarine**

the closing date is now the 6th of Feb as they have said in their video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CxjaRVkZqw

ignore the bit about not shipping out of the UK as they say this is wrong in the video description.

**Freytag93**

I hope they don't back it up AGAIN. It was supposed to be over on the first of the year...

**Robbietobbie**

So, im guessing this isn't happening? Shame

Probably not.

Really strange too, as many far more worthy giveaways have been purged from News & Rumours by the Dakka-Mods as soon as they appeared, and moved to far more obscure board, yet this one has gotten such a prominent platform here for months.

**stompygitz**

Whatever happened to this?

**EleanorUmbra**

They're saying that they got robbed or something like that :/

'for your information why we have not posted up anything is that our studio got broken into and lots of stock, our till all our painting stuff and a lot more got stolen. we havnt been aloud into it as forensics and stuff dont want us in. so we have alot on our plate at the moment'

So I guess this is never ever going to happen.

**Aeneades**

Given that its now 6 weeks since the final revised date of the draw and it generally takes the police less then 24 to do all the requires forensics after a burglary (talking from very recent experience) this excuse just doesn't hold any weight at all, especially after going silent and pushing the deadline back several times already.

Not saying that they haven't been burgled, just that it isn't the reason why they are not drawing a winner and giving away the prize. A much better excuse would have been that they lost all the names and contact details of the entrants and are having to try and recompile before drawing a winner (they could have even been really cheeky and restarted the competition again due to not being able to recompile the list and get loads more free advertising).

hahahah I totally agree with you there.
It's a bit of a let down though as clearly (including myself) people are waiting.
But in the end it's for many people (including myself

) a prize not won hahaahha ^^
So I guess it's not that different.
It would've been nice if they just owed up and said, well we can't handle the amount of entries or whatever. Something less of an excuse.
They don't seem to do anything really.

**MeanGreenStompa**

It does all appear to have been a boastful competition that utterly failed to live up to anything.

Given the number of times they shifted their deadline back and then eventually, suddenly, they wuz robbed... yeah... hmmmmmm....

**Iron Dragon**

Keep in mind that it's a micro business, and they claim to have been robbed. It's very unlikely they had any sort of insurance and the losses come directly out of their pockets.

I don't know about other people, but if I had my home burglarized and lost a lot of my stuff, I wouldn't be looking to give away anything else for a while.

**lord_blackfang**

Yeah, burglars who steal toy soldiers.

You would also probably say so instead of going under complete radio silence and dodging the question.
