the great #warmongers miniswap extravaganza!

As a result of me eavesdropping on a twitter exchange between @sylvester_33 and @MarcUpdates, whom I'm sure all dedicated #warmongers already follow, it was suggested that we should try to organise the first #warmongers mini-swap and paint on a grand and global scale!

What is a miniswap?

A miniswap is a simple idea, everyone who wants to take part puts their name in the hat and then a random draw gives you a name of someone else in the miniswap. They send you a mini to paint (it's through snail mail, so a standard 28mm infantry model is probably about as big as you want to get!), which you dutifully apply your best brush skills to and then return for them to add to their collection.

Of course because you're part of the same miniswap, someone else will get your name, you'll send them a mini and they'll paint it up for you :)

We have some great brush skills out there in the twitterverse all allying themselves to the #warmongers hashtag so you've every chance of getting a rather good looking figure out of this, unless I pull your name out of the hat of course, sorry about that...

To get involved first head over to The Shell Case Alliance forums and sign up, once we have sufficient numbers (a dozen or so) I'll draw the first names for everyone and post the results, from there it's up to you to organise address swapping and get the thing moving.

Salute 2012

Anyone going to Salute on the 21st who would like to be put into a 'sub-group' for doing the miniswap in situ, just mention that in your sign up post and I'll do a pre-Salute draw. We're doing a #warmongers get together anyway so it sounds like an ideal opportunity to save one batch of postage costs to me!

Go, go, go!

So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to The Shell Case Alliance and get involved, the first annual #warmongers miniswap extravaganza is go!
