Full Prizes for Not-Nationals Announced

By Grumbleduke, in Star Wars: Armada

From the FFG Organized Play Facebook page, prizes for the 2019 Grand Championships (non-Facebook album here) :

  • Winner: Dice-shaped trophy + Ship Tray,
  • Top 4: Set of Defense Tokens + Worlds 2020 invite,
  • Top 8 (by faction): Agent Kallus/Hondo Ohnaka medium-sized card - post implies Top 8 Imperials get Kallus, Top 8 Rebels get a Rebel-specific Hondo, which seems a little weird,
  • Top 16: Damage Deck (with XX-9 art on the back),
  • Top 32: MC80 Command Cruiser/Imperial II-class Star Destroyer alt art,
  • Top 64: same as Top 32 but other way around (not clear if there's a difference, or if you just get more if you get into the top 32, or if they're faction specific, or if they are double-sided).

The first Grand Championship is next Friday in the UK, and there are still 24 tickets left; guaranteed to get a shiny new ship card, and 10 more tickets and Asmodee will send the winner to next year's Worlds.

If they are consistent with their other games, too 64 are card stock cards and too 32 will be a plastic card of the same artwork.

Runewars had a similar confusing prize setup for one of their big tourneys.

I've been informed that the top-8 prize is given to the best 8 imperials AND the best 8 rebels.

Still 48 spots left, curious how big it will be

U.K. nationals just gave top 16 imperials the Kallus card, and top 16 rebels the Hondo card. There were only 17 rebel players so only one missed out

To clarify the other confusion:

Top 64 was the two cards you can see above. Their single sided the back sides have the exact same art as the front minus the overlay (dice, ship name, upgrade etc.)

Top 32 was double sided plastic spot gloss of the same art.

Can post some useful pictures tomorrow :P

I know I was super curious all day as to what the prizes were and for what, given that FFG hasn't even really made a post about it yet. So I hope this helps some people out:

To add to this, top 4 got a whole bundle of tokens. Something like 4-6 of each, dark see-through acrylic - like the 2018 Q4 Redirects, but with a different pattern. The Hondo is like the Kallus, but Red, and Rebel only.
