I doubt Jason will ever entirely give up on the Chick Challenge, but I bet he will welcome a reprieve while this is going on. I\'d be surprised if he didn\'t enter this one anyway. Of course, if he wants to pass the baton, I\'m sure he could work out more sponsors for FF.

Heh, Ritual more or less hit it on the head there. I updated the list of sponsors and it was asked that the announcement page also be updated. Went to go do that and it ended up wacking out the layout something fierce so I ended up redoing the whole thing this morning. It was up - but seriously, no biggie whatsoever.
As for Chick Challenge, I don\'t think that can ever trully be replaced to be honest and I am certainly not trying to be an \'upstart\' and hustle my way in the door so to speak.
The Wyrd Painting Contests are all themed, to date we\'ve had \'Total Testosterone, The Rotten Harvest, and now Femme Fatale\'. We also had the \'Wyrd Wereshark\' one that I did way back as a fun little something before deciding to turn the contest into something larger and hopefully a bit more fun.
More themes will make appearances in the future, but there will of course be those that repeat as they are just too good to pass up (TT, FF and of course RH for Halloween). I\'m still debating a monster theme here in the future, or perhaps a Xmas one for the end of the year holiday.
Thanks for the kind words and I am eagerly looking forward to all the entries!

I think that would be fun! I would humbly suggest that you consider scheduling an Xmas one to end the painting phase by Dec 1 at the latest. A lot of people are too busy in December to paint much. Plus that way we\'d be judging and commenting while the minis were still topical and we weren\'t all sick to death of holiday decorations.
I would really enjoy a monster themed competition. I\'d probably skip a Christmas theme, though. I\'m not that keen on holiday themed miniatures at all. Rotten Harvest was good because it was not set up as a strictly Halloween themed competition but rather a generally \'spooky\' theme.

Thanks for the comments and noted on the themes!
While I\'m here, I\'m pleased (keep saying that, but it\'s true) to announce the addition of Magnificent Egos, Crunch Waffle and Mars Ultor to the list of supporters.
Thanks!

Thought I would take a moment to give an update on the prize support packages being sent in for the Femme Fatale contest. Lots of great swag!
Also this year, we are starting up a new \'Manufacturers Award\' which has been requested in the past and we\'ll be implimenting starting with this contest. In order to cater to their fanbase some manufacturers have sent along additional product to be distributed to those that enter their miniatures into the contest and at the end of the voting, it will be determined seperately by the manufacturer and a small panel of peers the \'Best of (Manufacturer)\'. These additional prizes will be sent out to the contestants, regardless whether their entry wins in a category or not.
As the support packages are still arriving, I will update this list as they arrive or information is made available.

Obviously we will be supporting our own contest as well, and to that end we will be providing several copies of each of our miniature, Bishop, Baby Kade, Killjoy, Viktoria, Ramos and Pandora.
Manufacturers Award: Should a Wyrd miniature be submitted to the contest, the \'Best of Wyrd\' will receive the next two miniatures that we will be releasing in March; Vasyl - \'Corpus Sanguinius\' and Taelor - Lady Hammerstrike.
Wyvern Games LLC is an online store that carries a large line of miniatures and has sent along a huge selection of new and classic miniatures ranging from AD&D, Chainmail, Warzone, Void and CAV! (its a big box, I\'ll inventory it soon!)
