Hate to say it but the Fory George table was best – though the BoW table was by far the most popular and entertaining imo

Several tables were utterly deserted 🙁

This table is spectacular. I really like the sinking ship. The extra touch with the crew being pulled under is over the top. Everywhere you look at this board the attention to detail is amazing and I believe that is what put it over the top. I am just looking at pictures I believe if I was their I would be stuck staring at this board for a while. More pictures please. Yes, I really like the Hoth board as well. You guys just went up against a labor of love, I don’t think anybody would have beat that board… Read more »

It should have been settled by a gaming duel. They could have played Beasts on the Hoth board then Beasts play on the Fort George board. Winner takes the best table prize!

It is a beautiful board…

but it isn’t Hoth.

The board was a worthy winner. The scope and attention to detail were amazing. It featured loads of converted minis and the whole thing was scratch built, ships and all, by one guy!

the table looks great but……. no I can’t even say Hoth should have won, Hoth was great to play on and it had a great feel but as a terrain masterpiece there are/were some things that even the Beasts of War boys would admit could have been done better I think.

the foam hills/trenches were seperate from the base and had a different texture/colour… well I could go on but I won’t

the Hoth board excel-led (see what I did there) at what it was designed for.. to be fun, it was not designed to win best table.

If anyone is interested there is a good novel about this by the writer of the Sharpe series.

Deserved winner. We had to pick our jaws up off the floor when we stopped by this table. There was so much to look at you forgot there was a game going on. Reminded me of the GW Games Days of the 90s where inspirational games like this popped up. Many congrats to those involved.
