My Favourites Miniatures from Golden Demon Awards @ Games Day Atlanta 2007
Games Workshop posted the results and photos of the annual Games Workshop miniatures modelling and painting contest known as Golden Demon at Games Day Altanta in Apr 2007. Below are some of my favourites in random order.

I’ve been a fan of the gas-mask wearing Imperial Guard troops like the Death Korps and the similiar-looking Steel Legion after seeing Adrian Smith’s illustration of the clash between the Steel Legion and Orks during the battle for Armageddon (see below).

I seldom like models with painted faces because I find that few models and miniatures can get the face and eyes to look realistic like this magnificent model of a Night Lords Daemon Prince. BTW, he does look like Death Knight Arthas from Warcraft 3, no?

Simply amazing stuff. I love the detail of the orc’s armour as well as the elaborately gory standard

Somehow these models remind me of the macabre Nurgle Carnival of Chaos. (UPDATE: Actually these are the actual Mordheim Carnival of Chaos Warband miniatures, oops … Thanks, e) Read a wonderfully-illustrated short story about the Carnival of Chaos on the Mordheim page (scroll, scroll, scroll …) View photos of his entry at the honorable Mentions page. (Second row, rightmost entry).

Another jaw-dropper with the exquisite detailing on all the models in his entry.

Those Nurgle guys should remind you of the Carnival of Chaos because they ARE the models designed to represent them. They are probably the coolest looking sculpts in the Mordheim line.
Amazing !!
thanks!!
Oops, didn’t realize that, e … because I’m primarily a collector of WH40K artwork and not a avid GW gamer. Thanks a lot
The best thing ever
do u guys just sit in ur basement and paint models all day. dont get me wrong they r amazing, but it doesnt excactly look like it takes a short amount of time. try doing some other shit!!!! get some friends!!!
damn , really i love the death korps troops. I am a death korps collecter myself, but that colour scheme is amazing!? please tell me what colours youn used for the different parts of the models, so i can paint them that way as well.
ty very much in advance
Hi Korps Commander, those aren’ts not mine, they’re by Marc Raley .
Unfortunately, the orginal pics are gone after Games Workshop overhauled their US/UK website
not warhammer nerd
when i paint 40k guys its almost always with my friends
Uhhhh, not warhammer nerd, would you say the same thing to someone who paints portraits all day or writes books or any other artistic task? I think not…if you would then you truly are an idiot.
not warhammer nerd, a perfect example of ppl who are so short sighted they can’t even see past their own nose. And what are you even doing on a page like this if you don’t like it? btw warhammer is a great alternative for watching TV because almost everything they broadcast is crap.
Greetings
not a warhammer nerd
but what if friends actually introduced me to warhammer in the first place.
and yes i actualy am into other things and i certanly do not spend all day just painting im also into collecting and polishing gemstones
