What are wargaming trophies?

Wargaming trophies are physical prizes awarded in miniature strategy game competitions, such as Warhammer®, Age of Sigmar®, Warhammer 40k®, Blood Bowl®, Infinity®, and Bolt Action®, among others. Not only do they represent recognition of the performance of the most competitive players, but they also play a fundamental role in the atmosphere and prestige of the event. A tournament without trophies loses some of its charm, while the presentation of a tangible award makes the experience much more special.

Unlike other generic prizes, wargaming trophies are designed with the aesthetics of the hobby in mind. The possibility of customizing them with paint, metallic finishes, or even themes adapted to a particular game makes them unique pieces that connect directly with the passion of the community. Therefore, they are not simply a decorative object; they are a symbol of effort, strategy, and creativity, something that players deeply value when they receive it.

How to customize or paint trophies for wargames?

The great advantage of these trophies is that they are delivered in high-quality, unpainted gray ABS-like resin, which opens up a range of possibilities for customization. The organizer can opt for a classic finish with gold, silver, or copper paints, achieving a traditional look reminiscent of conventional sports awards. However, the wargaming community often seeks something more original and eye-catching.

At Green Stuff World, we recommend using our line of chrome paints, which provide a very realistic and durable metallic finish. You can also apply a mixture of metallic pigments with medium to create a chrome metallic effect with unique reflections, or experiment with chameleon sprays that change tone depending on the light and viewing angle. These techniques make each trophy a unique piece, with a style that reflects the personality of the event.

They come with square black lacquered MDF wooden bases, which, thanks to their smooth and elegant surface, make it easy to add engraved plaques, vinyls, or commemorative texts including the name of the tournament, the date, or the award category. In this way, the award not only has aesthetic value, but also an emotional component that players keep as a souvenir of their participation.

Which games can use wargame trophies?

Wargame trophies are primarily designed for miniature game competitions, which are the most widespread worldwide within the hobby. Games such as Warhammer 40k®, Age of Sigmar®, Blood Bowl®, Infinity®, Bolt Action®, Flames of War®, and Star Wars: Legion® have very active communities and regularly hold tournaments in which these types of awards are highly prized. The presentation of physical awards increases player motivation and lends prestige to the event, setting it apart from simple diplomas or symbolic recognitions.

However, they can also be used for other games that are not based on miniatures but are part of the competitive world of wargames. There are strategic board game competitions such as Blood Bowl®, Necromunda®, and even narrative role-playing tournaments and collectible card games that value the awarding of this type of personalized prize. The versatility of the design allows each organizer to adapt it to the theme of their event, whether it is an epic battle tournament, a miniature painting contest, or a more casual competition that seeks a humorous touch with a wooden spoon for last place.
