Best Army
Award

Prizes donated by Miniature World Maker.

Anthony Winter won the prize (again) for the most impressively painted army. This year it was for his wonderful Thematic Byzantines (who also performed better than many might have expected). Note that the same army can't win this twice so Anthony will have to come up with another masterpiece or let somebody else have a chance.

Evil Gong Grand Prix Award
sponsored by Evil Gong Miniatures

The Evil Gong prize for the most DBx points from the end of one Cancon to the next did go to Glen Noonan breaking Gerry Fallon's stranglehold. All that practice and still ends up the victim so often.
