Attention All Prize Winners… Past and Future!
December 1, 2011 by beerogre
Due to some problems with the Beasts of War website and email system, the names and delivery details of a number of prize winners have been lost (by which I mean deleted... not stolen or anything else that would raise concern).
However, fret not faithful Beasts of War fans! I've been planning to give the prize claim system an overhaul, so this was a good a chance as any.
The system by which you can claim prizes has now been outlined in our Community Rules section of the website. These rules will take effect from today (December 1st 2011) and any future prize claims should follow the rules laid out in the Community Rules section.
This Community Rules section also contains guidance on posting content, as well as claiming prizes. These rules are subject to change, so I would advise regular contributors to take a glance at them regularly. However, I will make a post to advice members of any major changes.
But, I haven't received my Prize!!!
Don't worry... we know that there are some prizes still outstanding. Here is the relevant section of the new rules reproduced to tell you how to claim outstanding prizes.
- Claim Amnesty
Details for some prizes won before December 1st 2011, were lost. As such we have an amnety for prize claims relating to prizes won before this date. If you are one of the those winners and you have not received your prize, please follow the steps outlined in the Community Rules and we will attempt to rectify the situation.
However, we must warn you that there have been a number of fraudulent prize claims made during this period so we may need to contact you via your social network to confirm any win.
Claims for prize winners announced after the above date do not qualify for amnesty and should follow the steps outlined in the Community Rules.
The Cutlass competition is currently being investigated, but as the winning announcement will follow the amnesty date, it will fall under the new rules.
If you have any queries please post below.
Looks good guys. I like the how the community rules are simple and clear….yet flexible enough to deal with any issues that might come up. Well done.
Eh guys I have a big problem with my prize.
You said I had won an entire Games Workshop, however, once I arrived and was given the deed, the entire Games Workshop was EMPTY. You did not clearly state this in your competition rules, it was HEAVILY implied that the Games Workshop would be fully stocked.
What am I gonna do with an empty Games Workshop? The only thing left was a copy of Warhammer Armies: Wood Elves. Was that supposed to be funny?
Poosh, that was absolute gold!
So guys, when do you announce the winner on the NuCoal Field Guide?
BoW gremlins just love to delete address. Bad gremlins 😛
I think moreso someone spilled their beer on a computer tablet.
Party foul!
Actually, I have a related complaint. I missed the turn 8 in which the august painting competition winners were announced and while a fellow bow member PMd me and told me one of my entrees won me a backstage honorable mention I was never contacted by any one or given any backstage access. I don’t even know if he was pulling my leg but he normally doesn’t joke like that. I don’t even know which show it was so I can’t go back to check on twitch/justin tv.
I wasn’t pulling your leg, you really did win honorable mention in August… I remember your kobold well !
And you will receive a backstage pass, I promise.
These new rules will make things much simpler… Hopefully.

@dais … And you now have 6 months access starting from today 😉
speaking of contests… what is the verdict on the necron army shopping spree?
You may recall 7 trillion weeks ago I won the Infinity prize which I thought was 2 army starters and the rulebooks. I chased corvus directly and finally got the 2 army starters but the books have still not turned up…so did I recall the prize incorrectly or is there a gremlin involved?
I guess I was too tired to read carefully
Yes I would like to claim my Titan that I have been waiting for for weeks….
Will there be reply from the community email address to confirm reception of Prize Winner claims?
Apparently not.
Yes they do. I just recieved a mail regarding this 5 minutes ago
