Badger Games is pleased to announce the rerelease of the fantastic Drantakh Sci-Fi range from Regiment Games sculpted by the incredibly talented Mr. Bob Olley. Badger acquired Regiment Games and the Drantakh after they had been out of production for some time. They have been remolded and GREATLY expanded and will continue to expand.
To celebrate this rerelease, Badger is running a painting competition with what we feel is a unique take to it. The contest and rules are described below:
1.) Applicants are asked to contact Badger Games directly at [email protected].
2.) The first 50 contacts will receive the pictured miniature and a Litko base shipped anywhere in the world for free. This miniature and this base must be used to qualify for submission. We consider it a gentleman’s/gentlewoman’s agreement that the miniature will be painted, based and returned for participation in the contest (this is not just a “free Miniature” deal). No Miniatures will be shipped after February 15, 2018.
3.) Miniatures are to be painted and based by the contestants themselves.
4.) The winner will be decided by a blind vote (identity of the painter unknown) by the attendees of Adepticon 2018 in Schammburg, IL (suburban Chicago). All with have equal position in a Plexiglas display case at the Badger Games Booth in the Exhibitor’s Hall at Adepticon and voting will be allowed once per voter/attendee for the entire convention. Number of votes will determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
5.) Miniatures may be delivered directly to our Booth at Adepticon by 11:00 AM opening day (Thursday, March 22, 2018) or alternately must be delivered to us by Thursday, March 15, 2018 via the postal service). Entrant is responsible for postage if required.
6.) All miniatures submitted for judging become the property of Badger Games LLC (that is the gamble of the contest). All entrants who submit a painted and based miniature (must be painted and based) will receive a $10.00 gift card good for use towards the purchase of any Badger Games merchandise.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $200.00 Badger Games gift card and your painting scheme will be used by our house painters for an entire Drantakh army to be displayed at the 2019 Adepticon.
2nd Place: A $100.00 Badger Games gift card.
3rd Place: A $50.00 Badger Games gift card.

So even if you don’t win but do enter, you still get $10.00 store credit?

Yes. As we expect (and are getting) entrants from around the world (wouldn’t ship back), and this is to promote us as well, we keep the miniatures to photograph and make a traveling display for CONs in 2018. To compensate people we thought this was fair…and we want people to enter and follow through and submit an entry. We will ship the miniature and base anywhere in the world on our dime for those who want to have a go. And, Adepticon is a really great CON, heavily populated by some of the most involved/motivated/rabid Sci-Fi gamers in the US so it seemed the perfect crowd to vote and judge this contest!

I’m interested for sure. I hope this will be a successful contest with plenty of entrants who actually send their painted figures back.

I was asked for clarification. The gift cards will be good for ANYTHING we sell at Badger Games, not just Drantakh.

Here are answers to some recent questions:
.
Can I cut off the integral base for basing. The answer is yes.
.
Can I use basing material that sticks off the 25mm round base provided. The answer is yes. However, do not increase the size of the base, this is for basing effects. Gluing a 40mm base over the 25mm base would not be in the spirit of the rules.
