Auction for Painted Saga Figs - Iron Man II 24-Hour Charity Painting

[greatescapegames]

Super great guy, Mike Hobbs, painted up a 29-figure, four-point Pagan Rus Saga warband for the event over a 24-hour period. All figures are 28mm Gripping Beast. Thanks to Gripping Beast for donating the figures. And now we are offering it for sale by auction. Pictures of the models are in the slideshow link at the bottom of this post.

All proceeds go to the Save the Children charity. So far, we have raised over £500 GBP for the charity, and had a great time doing it! The warband will be auctioned, with a closing date of August 30th at midnight GMT. Bids must be emailed to stuart@greatescapegames.co.uk. All bids are closed. Winning bidder will be announced by the following day.

We are setting a reserve of £87 GBP for the 29-figure warband. That's £3 GBP per figure, so please dig deep. Postage will be added at cost, or may be picked up in Cardiff, or at a show attended by Great Escape Games. Monies will be deposited through the JustGiving site, at which you may use your credit/debit card or PayPal. U.K. winners, please tick the Gift Aid box so that we can raise a bit more for the charity.

Even if you don't want to bid, please consider donating - http://www.justgiving.com/ironmanII - so that you can help children, and set us a tougher target to beat next year!

We will also have details of a 48-model 28mm WWII British infantry platoon from Artizan Designs, donated by Great Escape Games. Pictures (some are in the slideshow below) and auction details will follow later in the week.
