There is an Armies On Parade event (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?aId=700018a) in North American GW stores on August 8. From the link provided: "Bring in your favorite army for 40K, Warhammer or The Lord of The Rings and show off your work to everyone else. The best painted, themed, and based army for each system will win a cool prize. Judging will take place Saturday afternoon at 3pm." There's a list of participating stores (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?categoryId=&pIndex=1&aId=700018a&start=2).

How nice. I like in KC and the closest GW store to me is in Chicago. Just as well, I would torment the employees mercilessly.

I was at the Mapleview GW (Burlington, Ontario) and pulled off the grand prize :) $50 gift certificate. There were 6 people in the competition. 5 were 40k armies, one fantasy. The 2 runners up each won $10 gift certificates.

Here's a blurry picture of my army:

I came in second place at the GW mini-bunker in Toronto with my Red Corsairs. The judges told me i would have been first if I had a display board. The death Guard army that beat me was really excellent however, and he did have a display board...next time...next time.

I entered my Imperial Guard army at the Annapolis, MD store and came in first, though there was only one other entry. The manager gave each of us $35 choice of merchandise for participating.

A friend of mine won first place with his IG army at the Battle Bunker farther up the road. He got a choice of up to $90 in merchandise.

My IG army and my Deathwing army are both now on display at the Annapolis, MD GW store if anyone would care to see them.

Hey Dosadi,
what was the prize for first (and runner up?) I curious to know what GW was giving out at the different stores in the GTA. For some reason I thought the GW website orginally said they were giving out a Planetary empires box to the winner, but the week before the event the website didn't specify prizes.

I guess I'll have to step up my game for next time, eh Christian? :P

I won Best Fantasy Army and got a Wood Elf Waywatcher. I would have made 2nd or 3rd in 40k, but they only gave a 1st palce prze which was a Space Wolves Omnibus and some SW character.

I also entered a Krieg Army.

My Vampire Counts won first place.

Is it just me or is my store cheap?
