The Stormhammer Brigade Raffle for Child's Play

Hey guys, not sure exactly where to put this (leave the obvious joke aside lol), but I figured some folks here might want to know about the Child's Play raffle for a sort-of net-famous Warmachine army: the Stormhammer Brigade!
http://handcannononline.com/blog/2014/05/06/rfp-presents-stormhammer-raffle/
For those who don't know, the Stormhammer Brigade were the first completely-converted army for Warmachine, made to abide by the first and hoariest of the conversion rules to be completely tournament legal. It was basically my way of proving that all of the naysayers who said personalizing an army in Warmahordes was impossible. Not only that, but I also wrote over forty thousand words of fiction to integrate the army into the worlds of the Iron Kingdoms. So, yeah, seven years of work was pretty extensive. But the last year I haven't played it at all (I lost complete interest right before Butcher3 dropped ... I am not a smart man), and rather than continue to let it gather dust on the shelf I decided to donate it to charity. Thanks to Omnus and the Removed From Play crew, we managed to toss together a raffle for it at the Gauntlet this weekend at Card Kingdom in Seattle (we're at over $4k raised so far!). However, we also will take online donations/raffle tickets until noon PST this Sunday, and we'll ship to anywhere in the world for the winner. There's also a whole host of other prizes, including Kickstarter Models, Michael Plummer custom-painting a free gargossal of your choice, etc. There's a bit more than just the Stormhammer now
I've also added a couple of things, including a Sylys and a Fenris, and right now I'm talking with Omnus about a special add-on if the raffle hits $5k!
I know you guys have your own team to support at the Gauntlet (obviously), but I figured I'd let you know about the chance to win a one-of-a-kind army with all the proceeds going right to Child's Play. Please share this info wherever you can, if you don't mind. Thanks for reading, and good luck to all the teams!
[Mods: Please let me know if this is the wrong spot or inappropriate. I PMed a mod about a week ago about where to post this, but it must have gotten lost in the shuffle]

Thanks, bud, and I know how crazy keeping track of things can be. I just didn't want to step on any toes
That's right, folks, a once-ever offer for hitting the 5k mark: I will convert the limited edition Butcher3 model, argusii (arguses? Argudinklings? bananramma-ding-dong dogs?), and terrain to the winner's specification to match the rest of the Stormhammer. And the winner gets to podcast with me and get inside the rotted pumpkin of my head to find out what the hell I was thinking, why, and how to get the best restraining orders against folks like me :P
Remember, there's only 18 hours left to purchase a raffle ticket to win the entire Stormhammer army for your own

EDIT: Rather than continuing to bump my own thread, I'll toss this here
We hit the $4500 mark! That's a podcast specifically for the winner with me slurring into a microphone about conversions and the secret squirrel conspiracy (they're nuts I tells ya). Reposted from RFP FB:
EDIT2:
We just hit $5209 in the charity raffle for the Stormhammer Brigade! That unlocks every single stretch goal we put out there, including a Butcher3, his doggies, and the limited edition terrain piece altered to fit in with the Stormhammer Brigade, to the new owner's specifications
Also, we're beating Bungie again buahahaha /twirlmustache
I know, you just really want to know who won what
And the winners are:
Gastone - Kevin Austin
Tristan - Tong Teck Guan
Jakes - Eamon Sullivan
Andrei - Nathan Chemsky-Higgins
Aiakos - Benjamin Hofer
RFP Prime - Ryan Zechel
ITA - Kit Tull
Crowd Control - Chadi Faraj
Collosal/Gargantuan - Kevin Tobin
And the winner of the Stormhammer Brigade is ...
Jason Collis!
Congratulations on winning the Stormhammer Brigade! Omnus will be contacting you soon to put us into communication, as you need to describe how you want me to mutilate Butcher3 for you
Thank you everyone for making this a hell of a raffle, and for providing such an outpouring of support for the charity, and for making me blush at how much the Stormhammer managed to make for the kids!
