OnTableTop Industry Awards For 2022
February 11, 2023 by brennon
Join us for the OnTableTop Industry Awards For 2022 where we are honouring the best tabletop games and products from last year.
We sat down to pick our favourites from a few different categories and have chosen both a shortlist of finalists and the winners for each. The categories cover board and card games as well as terrain and miniature wargames. We even have some special awards for Indie creators and something that truly blew our minds!

Not any more. Thanks great squirrel!
Yay Gerry for the win.?
Damn,. I’ll have to find a one hour dry cleaners to freshen up my white tux jacket in order to watch this tonight! ??
Only 10 minutes in and this video has cost me a fortune!! Completely missed the Microart WW2 terrain – now ordering it all!
Though disappointed there are no tuxedos this year lads! 🙂
Wingspan won Cards… and I can see Ben being on the brink of loosing it…
Loke Battlemats winning… not surprised
Firefight won miniatures…. I had though John would push Battletech
Indie of the year: Modulorka. Noice!
Full Spectrum Dominance overall winner is nice. Shame you need a 3D printer for it 😉
Nice way to round off THE EVENT that is/was 2022. Thanks mates.
Congratulations a brilliant set of winner’s.
Nice to see Ivan Sorensen getting some recognition, I am planning to use my Bolt Action guys for his 5 Men From Kursk game (Basically 5 leagues but WW2)
Some lovely choices there and good to make the effort to recognise outstanding companies and products. Great to see Wiglaf get a mention, although how this category isn’t called “Best Indie of the Year” is escaping me. My best pick of the year was AP Speedpaints, I don’t use Loke mats but they must be utterly amazing. Guess I’m going to have to get Undaunted: Stalingrad and maybe 02 Hundred as well. Thanks team.
Sorry guys, but Speedpaints are utterly rubbish! You can’t paint a layer over them without varnishing after each step, speed painting, my ass. They are just a rip off, as far as I’m concerned.
If you want to promote a Contrast alternative, you should’ve picked Xpress Paints by Vallejo, this range is as versatile as the original and works as well, if not better.
I am really considering canceling my membership because of this.
Your being carcastic yes? lol (Sometimes its hard to tell when someone is joking)
Just incase anyone reading this is wondering, and I feel silly even pointing this out Xpress Color officially launched in 2023 (so they may well crop up in the next awards) 🙂
God I wish the internet had a body language function lol
I wish I was joking! They are literally one of the worst gaming products I ever bought. Reactivating paints, who thought this was a good idea? I tried to paint over them, cause I’m a bit sloppy when painting, it took over 5 coats till there was a layer of beige instead of pink. Worst paints ever, well maybe exept the cheap acryllics discounters sell. By the way, Xpress got released in November, at least on the continent.
Thanks for the nomination guys – I only just saw this actually! I have some more plans with Fadelight terrain in the future – 6-15mm range dropping soon!
