"I won a Games Workshop painting contest and all they gave me was this lousy pen."
So, my Prince Althran miniature won the painting contest. My prize, a cheap ballpoint pen bearing the Games Workshop logo is illustrated above. If they had put this on a t-shirt it would at least have been funny. Instead it's just kind of pathetic.
They also gave me a really ugly old Halfling Thief miniature from 1999.
I don't mean to be ungracious, but I think a corporation the size of GW could have done a little better than this for prize support.

Man, I thought your mini was awesome. Sorry about the pen. I was once employee of the month and for all my efforts, I got a pen. :( This is HILARIOUS! The word verification is "upurast" HILARIOUS! Apparently the interwebs know what you're going through! :) Congratulations on the win! Great mini!
Wield it with price, my friend ... wield it with pride.
Word ver: protac - what you need to take after winning a pen from GW.
Thanks guys. Both word verifications were absolutely hilarious! Laughter is the best reward.
I once won a lord of the rings month long campaign, and for my win, my buying and painting new minis i won the map of middle earth on the wall.
There's nothing like a crappy prize to make it all worthwhile!
