In the 12-and-under category, we only had one entry. Congratulations Garrett on a job well done. Here he painted one of the models from Reaper's Dark Heaven Legends Army Packs > 06044: Dwarven Warriors
As usual, we had two prizes available, one for each first-place winner of each category. The 12-and-under winner gets to choose his/her prize first. Garrett chose an unpainted Reaper miniature > 14451: Durthen, Dwarven Berserker on Boar
We had three 13-and-older competitors. It was a hard choice to make because all were very good both in concept and execution.
Third place went to Matt for his work on another model from the 06044 Dwarven Warrior Army Pack.
Second place went to Garrett's mother (talent runs in this family) for her dwarf from the DHL Army Pack > 06040: Dwarven Miners
First place went to Dan, who painted up 14082: Margara, Dwarf Mage from Reaper's Warlord line of minis.
Dan took home the other first-prize, a set of HirstArts Battle Arena dungeon tiles and accessories.CONGRATULATIONS EVERYBODY for making this a great competition!

We will not be doing P&T this next Sunday, but will return the Sunday after. August should be a fun month for us thanks to the upcoming release of Reaper's 2nd Edition Warlord miniatures game. I know a few of you have already begun building some small armies. Warlord is the perfect introduction to miniature gaming because it's fun, fast, and doesn't require hundreds or even more than a dozen models to play.

We will also hopefully have more chances to resume playing Swords & Wizardry at our P&T sessions. Thanks to thousands of other folks just like you for playing and spreading the word, S&W has become a popular name in roleplaying games... so much so that its publisher, Mythmere Games, is hoping to make the books available in game stores through regular distributors JUST like the other big RPG companies. Of course the free version is stll available on Lulu.com as a PDF download too for those who haven't yet gotten in on the fun.
Also, S&W and Mythmere Games have been nominatef for ENnie Awards. S&W for Best Free Product and Mythmere Games for Fan Award Best Publisher. This is a real big deal for an "upstart" like S&W, so feel free to add your vote too.
And finally, announcing our next CONTEST!!!!
