Gonna Have Me Some Fun Tonight!

.

It's no secret that Heather and I are big aficianados of the classic 1987 PREDATOR movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura and Sonny Landham.

So, to celebrate the imminent release of a 15mm "slackjawed" Special Forces team (SF01-SF07) from The Scene, Dropship Horizon is proud to sponsor a PREDATOR inspired give away!

To have a chance to win the first set of these new minis from The Scene, all you have to do to demonstrate your Predator Mojo is leave a message below, that:

1) identifies SIX animals mentioned by the characters in the film.

2) correctly identifies the order in which they are mentioned.

You get more brownie points for answering in the true spirit of this competition!

Without doubt, Blain played by Jesse Ventura gets the best lines and in our minds is the most enduring character in the movie. To win the second set of these Special Forces miniatures all you have to do is create:

3) a quote in the style of a typical "Blainism", eg "They're shooting straighter than a Saratoga snake".

 The "Blainism" Heather judges the best, wins.

The competition is open until Mike puts the figures up on the webshop. Entries made anonymously without a name included in the entry are disqualified for obvious practical reasons, "I'm Brian, and so's my wife!". We're looking forward to seeing your entries - Have fun & best of luck!

Cheers

Name That Alien!

.
This is your chance to gain a little wargaming kudos. Dropship Horizon is giving you the opportunity to officially name the alien races in the new packs of Mercenaries from Critical Mass Games.

The Tangos

The Mangos

The Blockheads

The Hissers

I've given each photo an Imperial Intelligence, Section 8 codename for ease of identification. All you have to do is come up with a unique name for the race of aliens represented by that codename.

You can name one or more packs. Up to you. To make things more fun, tells us:

1) Name of the alien race
2) Their planet of origin
3) They're Mercs - who is their patron and what is their mission.

Post your answers as comments below. Closing date is Friday 22nd Jan, 2010. Good luck and have fun!

Cheers
Mark
