Hey everyone, sorry that I haven\'t gotten back sooner, its been a busy one! Thanks for all the well wishes, I appreciate it.
It looks like things are shaping up quite nicely for the contest with the list of sponsors growing and those showing a genuine interest in the competition. I expect there will be some heavy competition in a few of the catagories (hey, the more the merry I say).
Since I\'m at it, I would like to announce that Sacred Blade Miniatures has signed on for sponsoring the contest. We all know that he has some interesting miniatures and I\'m sure those will be well received by whomever receives it. Thanks Pete!
As I\'ve had a bit of problems/questions in some other forums, I just want to point out to everyone to remember to read the RULES and INFO section on the contest page (its the link to the right that says rules and info). Discussing options and trying to get a feel for the type of miniature that is acceptable is more than fine, just don\'t go belting out what you are doing. We can be a bit lienient the first time around, but afterwards I imagine folks will get a bit snitty over it.
The prizes like the last contest, will go to the winners of each catagorey and the Random Schmuck prizes will be given out randomly to entrants (I imagine quite a number of those actually as there is a good bit of product flowing into the house right now). My kids will do the picking and pulling for names per the usual (I\'ll coral them better this time though so the buggers don\'t run off with them!).
Now, onto some quick responses.

Hah, no, not very many came looking for me - I had to do the \'hat in hand\' bit and I\'m rather pleased with the turn out.
As for running it quarterly, well I certainly intend to give it a damn good try, but as you said privately, hopefully it won\'t turn into a millstone. I don\'t expect it will as I\'ve done my best to try and keep things streamlined.
@ Dragonsreach
Yeah, I figured you might have had a bit on your plate with all the Paint Aid bits going on (damn fine work you\'ve done there Mike, thanks).
Got the next few contests already worked out, so I look forward to you being able to join the next.
@ Dammekkos2
Hah! \'nuff said.
@ Rev
Oooh, I imagine you\'ll get your chance with something undead\'ish here soon. This should be interesting to see none-the-less.
@ kittykat23uk
We\'ll catch you on the next one Jo. Creatures and Critters abound in the future.
@ Levdir
