Most lucrative award I've seen was at my local tournament. Winner got one of each of the FW character series they're doing.

Which at the time was iirc Abaddon/Loken , Kor/Erebus, and Fulgrim?. Still a pretty cool steal.

Dropped off quickly after that though with 2nd - 5th getting one model/box of their choice. (Because, I mean, who couldn't use another tac squad eh? )

Best i've seen was our Golded Goblin tourney for Fantasy with 1st place getting a battalion box of their choice, 2nd getting a core unit box of choice and 3rd got a metal lord/hero of choice. Last place got a Goblin painted gold, I got the Goblin....

I gave away a 2500+ point pro painted dark eldar with Sabol army cases - one for the minis and one for the vehicles which included two Forge World eldar flyers. A lot of people showed up for the tournament.

Wow, when was this? I game in Tampa and I haven't seen a cash prize like that in the last 4 years.
