Below you’ll find a selection of 7 miniatures from the Golden Demon miniature painting competition at Games Workshop’s US Games Day 2013 in Memphis last weekend.
These pictures were taken from the Golden Demon photo gallery by bcocanour.
I cannot tell you where these miniatures placed (except for one). I presume there will be an official update from Games Workshop at some point. I merely picked pictures that I liked. Enjoy!
#1 – Seeker of Slaanesh
Probably my favourite. Fantastic Seeker of Slaanesh with a great banner. I may be biased though, as this looks like a professional shot in a light box, not a snap-shot from the event itself (?)
#2 – Tzeentch Sorcerer
Since we’re talking Chaos, this wonderful little miniature.
#3 – Knight of the Empire
A knight beset by squigs. I really love narrative pieces such as this one.
#4 – Purple Space Marine
Can’t have a Golden Demon without some Warhammer 40K Space Marines!
This one might be 54mm. Or it might simply be brilliant. Or both!
#5 – Space Marine Diorama
A great little Space Marines diorama.
#6 – Vilitch the Curseling
Did I mention that there seems to be lots of Chaos? A wonderful version of Vilitch the Curseling, one of the new characters for the Warriors of Chaos.
#7 – Orc Rogue Idol
Last but not least, this take on Forge World’s Rogue Orc Idol with a nice wooden mask.
I said I didn’t know the placings of the six miniatures above. This one, however, is said to be the Slayer Sword winner from the 2013 US Games Day (I’d love for somebody to confirm this).
The picture is probably not good enough to appreciate it as the Slayer Sword winning miniature that it is. That said, it’s a cool piece nonetheless. The howdah, the mask and other wooden bits are great additions to the otherwise rather plain model from Forge World Warhammer Forge.
Thoughts?
Which one of the above is your favourite?
Have you seen other pictures from the US Games Day painting competitions (or been there yourself)?
