Talk Fantasy Football

Hi everyone,

This year I am offering a raffle at Eucalyptus Bowl and we have some great prizes to give away. This raffle is open to everyone, not just people who attend, and for the Diorama and Teams the cost of shipping internationally is included in the prize. There is also going to be a Custom Board prize but this is not practical to ship internationally, as much as I would like to!

To compensate for this, I will have three special Non-Attendee draws, for a complete Eucalyptus Bowl gift pack. This will include:

- A limited custom Platypus star player, produced in partnership with Impact Miniatures.
- A beautiful custom dugout, designed by FF-Fields and printed on sturdy card stock.
- A set of two scatter templates, one designed to fit the original dugouts and one designed to fit the FF-Fields dugout.
- A top quality 1.5 inch metal Tournament Coin.
- A set of two custom D6 with the Platypus star on the 6
- One on-pitch Passing Scatter Template, designed by Litko Aerosystems

So in short I will hold two draws: one for the prizes including all ticket holders, and a separate draw just for ticket holders from players who are not there on the day for one of three gift packs. So all in all you'll have 6 chances to win a prize from a single ticket!

Ticket prices are (in AUD):

1 ticket for $2
3 tickets for $5
8 tickets for $10

Payments can be sent via paypal to richard.andrew@sydney.edu.au, I ask that you cover any Paypal fees by selecting Personal -> Gift.

The Prizes

Halfing Hot Pot Crew Diorama:

Perfect for a Halfling Master Chef and lovingly crafted by Phil McFayden of Genesis Miniatures, this Hot Pot Crew will complement any team as part of the sideline crew.






Painted Team #1: Chaos Team painted by Aspie

As part of Aspie's Red Apples Awareness drive, he is painting a full Chaos Team using GW Metals for this Raffle. Part of the proceeds from the raffle itself will be donated to Bowel Cancer Australia.

This is a full team including a Minotaur, 4 Chaos Warriors, 10 Beastmen and figures to represent Max Spleenripper, Lord Borak, Grashnak Blackhoof, Brik & Grotty and Lewdgrip Whiparm.

Here is a sample of what the team will look like as the team is currently being painted, more images to come as soon as they are available.

This team will come in a KR Multicase AQ1 for easy transport.

Here are some WIP :

Painted Team #2: Chaos Dwarf Team painted by Sart

An extremely nice team made using Impact Black Rock Dwarves and Hob Imps. Included in the team is 1 Minotaur, 6 Chaos Dwarves, 8 Hob Imps and figures to represent Zzharg Madeye, Nobbla, Hthark the Unstoppable, Rashnak Backstabber and Grashnak Blackhoof.











This team will come in a KR Multicase AQ1 for easy transport. Note there are a few touches left which will be done ahead of the tournament (mostly putting names on the Star players and giving Grashnak a brown base ring to fit the others).

And while I can't offer this prize with international shipping, for the sake of completeness here is the Custom Board:

Custom Board - Not available for International ticket holders, sorry!!

Made as part of the DIY Article in the latest issue of Blitz Magazine, this custom board is ready to play and lightweight enough that you won't throw your back out when you go to put it in the car. This has been made using a felt mat donated by Impact Miniatures and a sturdy MDF frame to keep it safe.

The board will come with a special bag made by my lovely mother in law to make it easy to carry and transport. The bag shown in the image is an example only, the actual bag is currently in production.

Bump! It's a tiny buy-in for a chance at some excellent prizes, don't miss out!

I'll be closing off sale of these on the 6th of July (aka next Friday)

Bump! Just a few days left for anyone not attending the tournament.

what if we agree to pay postage for the board?

If you're willing to investigate that, then by all means I'm happy to make the arrangements if you win.

I just need the size and estimate weight

Call it 6kg and 75cm x 45cm x 10cm which should cover box, bag and packaging.

The Aust Post website is quoting around $120 airmail or $80 seamail, which isn't actually as bad as I thought. That's based on weight only though, the size of the package may also have an impact I'm not sure.

Ok, the raffle has been done and won... Connor Wallis, Ben Vanzino, Antipixel and Ceetee all won prizes, with Darren Palamara winning the extra board I put in at the end.

Later in the week I'll draw the extra prize packs for the non attendees (need to get sorted out for my move to Canberra first).

Actually I had to archive some things from my work computer which has left me twiddling my thumbs for a bit, so I've done the draw for the extra gift packs. PM's have been sent to all winners.
