🎉 A Huge Thank You! 🎉

We’re proud to announce that the Welsh Open has raised £1,400 for Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Research – a cause close to our hearts 💛

It couldn’t have been possible without the incredible generosity of our community and the amazing support we received for the raffle.

The player-voted "Well Tidy" Award (overall best army across all measures) went to Tony Kirby with his SEAHAUNT! 👻

You can tell that Tony has put so much time into these conversions and the display board - was a joy to see it on the table.

Cleanest Gamer(s) tied at 4/5 votes each for Glen Chalk and Dominik de Cassan! A fantastic achievement for both getting that many votes.

Glen took home the custom WarVault, provided Pro Painted Studios. We'll be passing a trophy to Dominik as he was the highest placed player.

A favourite for those that have attended Blackout previously, and an award that resonates with us well in Wales, the Caledor Memorial Award (for best dragon) went to Tom Matthews with his gorgeous blood-soaked Vhordrai!
