Coming up now is the People's Choice Award, where all the entries who achieved at least a point (plus a few of our own favorites!) will go into a public poll to decide a winner.
The voting on this will run for one week, with a closing deadline of 7PM on Thursday, 12th March. The winner of this category will receive a £20.00 GBP voucher for loads of Minibits goodies, and also a Scourge Starter Set from Hawk Wargames! Make sure to place your votes in time!
