BoW have just started accepting nominations for this years awards.

http://www.beastsofwar.com/awards-2015/nominations/

Thought this might be fun to think about some of the different releases over the past year, and also rejig memories about things that have been forgotten.
Mods - have put in 'Discussions' as it feels like more that kind of topic rather than N&R but please feel free to move.

The categories are:
- Best Miniatures Game of 2015
- Best Board/Card Game of 2015
- Best Game Expansion of 2015
- Best Gaming Artwork of 2015
- Best Gaming Accessory of 2015
- Best Terrain Product of 2015
- Best Paint Job of 2015
- Best Model Kit of 2015

I've thought of things I would place in most of the categories, although then find out that it was actually more than a year (or even two!) that it was released!
For some of the others, it's basically a case of having to choose a best between so many great things, as it really has been a good year for gaming releases!

The categories have changed a bit from last year; best historical game and best sculpt have been dropped, and the 'best game' types are now in a single category, which is a great shame as there are different games that I enjoy for different reasons. Picking a single 'best' one would be more or less impossible for me..
