I had announced awhile back that there would be a skull themed contest, in
celebration of the glory and wonder that is the "Sack O' Skulls," and I'm
happy to say that I'm finally ready to launch THE THINGS MADE FROM BONES CONTEST!!!
But wait, that doesn't say skulls... and that's right! This contest will
include any use of Secret Weapon bone products.
Entries will be accepted through Tuesday, 31-May. Each entry may include up
to three 800x600 photos. Any model, including terrain, scratch-built models,
detailing or conversions, is eligible but must, obviously, include detailing
from the Secret Weapon "Sack O' Skulls," human or buffalo skeletons. There
is no limit to the number of entries you can make. Voting will take place on
the Secret Weapon blog for one week after the entries are posted. Email your
photos to misterjustin at Secret Weapon Miniatures.
The winner will receive a $50 Secret Weapon gift voucher and find their
entry on the front page of the Secret Weapon website!
But wait, there's more!
A special prize will be awarded to the best scratch-built model made up
ENTIRELY of Secret Weapon bones. Any entry hoping to qualify for this
special, super secret, totally awesome prize must be unpainted so that we
can verify the materials.
But wait, there's STILL more!
Every time a photo circulates of me in my Secret Weapon t-shirt I get emails
from folks asking if they're available to buy... and so I'm going to get a
batch printed. But logo shirts are kinda boring and so I'm running a second
contest!
For the t-shirt contest I am seeking 1-2 sentence witty, funny but hopefully
hobby relevant slogans or quips to put on the back of the shirt.
I will be accepting t-shirt entries through Monday, 16-May so that I can
have the shirts ready in time for Kubla Con at the end of the month.
There can be multiple winners in the t-shirt contest and each will receive a
t-shirt in their chosen size and a $12.99 Secret Weapon gift voucher -
enough to cover a $10 item and shipping.
Rest assured that when the shirts are ready I will sell them AT COST because
I think it's really stupid to try and turn a profit on your willingness to
promote my brand.
So let's see some clever shirt ideas and some gruesome bone detailing!
Slogan contest:
ReplyDeleteSecret Weapon Miniatures
The weapon's no secret. The location is.
" Taking the 'base' outa basic. "
ReplyDeleteHow about "Let your baser instincts take over"?
ReplyDeleteWow, three shirt slogans almost immediately after this was posted - Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOf course I'd like to have a slogan that wasn't only about bases since those only represent 50% of the catalog.
For instance I had suggested "My dollies can beat up your dollies" but David, SWM Production Assistant and a good buddy of mine, rejected it. Likewise "My dollies play with chainsaw swords" didn't pass muster :)
Secret Weapon Miniatures:
ReplyDelete"Step Your Game Up"
Secret Weapon Miniatures:
ReplyDelete"Believe the Minis"
Secret Weapon Miniatures:
ReplyDelete"Your Key to a Sexy Figure"
"If your tanks look too tidy and your bases too even - Secret Weapon Miniatures." :P
ReplyDelete"Making your Miniatures look GREAT"
"Miniatures are more than the sum of their parts"
Maybe just "Bag o' Skulls". I think that the name itself is so iconic.
"The Devil/Deamon is in the Detail"
"Providing the basics for your modelling project"
"Affordable dirt"
"Putting some Grime on your Grunts"/"Put some Grime on your Grunts"
"Character comes with Aging"
That's all I can think of for now. :P
Nerdery or Artistry... let the dice decide!
ReplyDelete"Secret Weapon Miniatures: The Secret is in the Bitz and Pieces"
ReplyDelete"Secret Weapon Miniatures: The Drama is in the Bitz and Pieces"
"Secret Weapon Miniatures: The Drama is in the Details"
Secret Weapons: A little bit of this, a little bit of that. (One arrow above the slogan pointing up, one arrow below the slogan pointing down)
ReplyDeleteSecret Weapons: Taking the "I" out of "This model sucks" one order at a time.
Secret Weapons: We won't tell your friends that you didn't convert it yourself.
Secret Weapons: Hate the dice, not the Bitz.
Secret Weapons: Yes, we've got Baby Poop.
Convert, heathen!
ReplyDelete"Lay the groundwork for a great looking army."
ReplyDelete"How to go from meh to wow!"
Plastic men must always be a secret
ReplyDelete1. "Secret Weapon Miniatures.
ReplyDeleteSuuuuuuuuuush.
It's a secret."
2. "Secret Weapon Miniatures.
No unauthorised miniatures past this point."
3. "Secret Weapon Miniatures.
The "Sneak Attack" of hobbyist"
4. "Secret Weapon Miniatures.
All our base are belong to you"
5."Secret Weapon Miniatures.
It's like a proper company and everything !"
Does greenstuff, or any other sculpting material, count against the 'entirely made of skulls' section?
ReplyDelete"Secret Weapon Miniatures; if we told you, then it wouldn't be a secret anymore..."
ReplyDelete"Secret Weapon Miniatures; Modelling never looked so good"
"Secret Weapon Miniatures; Shhhh..."
Work damn you !
ReplyDeleteRoses are red.
ReplyDeleteViolets are blue
My toy soliders have chainsaws.
And they're all comming for you.
