POTY 2024 Prizes
1st Expertly Painted Deathroller
Possibly the most expensive single BB mini you’ll ever own and fantastic enough to function as a trophy while not in use. I’m on the far side of the hobbyist-gamer spectrum, but still have a place on the mantelpiece picked out to display this (one that’s currently only being used for a wedding photo).
2nd Deeproot Strongbranch
3rd Ripper
2nd and 3rd prizes enabled by generous support from our Benevolent Overlord Christer.
Notes
Scoring in
previous blog post.
Prizes sourced when the winner (and more importantly their location) is known. I think this is the best way to handle the logistical issues of providing a physical prize for an online competition with a global playerbase. This flexibility allows you to substitute the models for something roughly equivalent if, for example, you already own them. We’ll work it out so you should get something you’re happy with. Similarly, if a hobbyist wins and would prefer to assemble and paint the Deathroller themselves, the paint job can be substituted.
Bonus for 145ers/graduates (until further notice): Win a POTY-scoring Minor for a GW Team Box. I expect you’ll each get 5-6 chances at this throughout the year.
Eligibility of claimant determined by 145 admins.
Prediction comp: Win a GW Team Box. Submit predicted top 3 in order via site or discord direct message by end Dec 31st 2023.

If you don’t have a Jan Gauntlet team qualified team yet there are still two weeks to go in the season to bang out 15 games. If you don’t qualify don’t worry – only 8 of those who do will be getting POTY points - there will be plenty of time and tourneys to catch up.
