FF-Fields Competition Results:

Awhile back FF-Fields, a company specializing in creating pitches for your fantasy races' sporting enjoyment, had a contest with several categories:
Best Painted, Conversions, Concept Theme & Best Pro-Painted.

You probably know I'm a big fan of Blood Bowl, and have painted a lot of it.  I kept thinking about what I'd enter.. which team?  which category? Maybe something new... I delayed, hoping I'd find time to finish the conversions for the all-skink team I started awhile back, maybe enter them for Converted or Painted.. but real life laughed at that thought.  Laughed hard: haven't found time to make any progress on that team.
The result? Procrastination and Thoughts Elsewhere saw me not enter a dang thing.
Missed the deadlines altogether.

And yet, I still won!

Well, sort of.

Two other people won, but in the 'Pro-Painted' category, with teams they'd bought from me.

I don't get a prize of course, but I'm just as happy as if I'd won, since, I kind of did.

First Place went to Dan, a great guy from Australia, who commissioned a Chaos Dwarf team late last year.

He was very happy with the team when he got it, and I'm very happy for him that he got first place and will be getting a custom puzzle pitch for his team! 

Second Place went to another Dan, a friend of mine in California, who bought the Picnic Pillagers when he heard I was going to sell them.  He added to the team later, commissioning a 3rd Treeman to be Deeproot the star player and Puggy Baconbreath.  Since he took a picture of the whole team, I can now replace my old picture in the Hall of Fame, to show the whole team together with the two late arrivals.

The moral of the story seems to be:

1.  Don't procrastinate
2.  Do enter
3.  Be named Dan.
