THE FUNKIES ++
The Funkies are individual
awards which recognise outstanding effort in painting and
theme. Our judges award these for aspects of your
presentation which catch their eye.
The Funkies are sponsored by the very funky hobby
co
Back 2 Base-ix.

Funkies from any army which has won Player's Choice, WATT's,
