Talvisota - Best Armies

There was voting for overall best painted army in Talvisota. In the voting there were five superbly painted armies from Infinity, Flames of War, Warmachine/Hordes, Warhammer 40.000 and Fantasy Battle. One of each game system.

In the best of the best voting every tournament player could vote on the overall best painted army. To choose one best painted army from the different games was difficult decision for the Judges. There was multiple nice armies in each tournament category. All armies were placed next to each other and during lunch time gamers could vote on on their favourite.

Unfortunately sun was coming from wrong direction to take good pictures, but great skill in all of the armies.
