Golden Demon 2014 – Space Marine Squads

Posted on January 20, 2015 by Jon

Today is a sad day at Chaptermasters as we start on the last few remaining pictures from Golden Demon. Today’s are the Space Marines from the Squad Category. The good news is the Squad Category was one of the most popular categories so there are plenty more pictures to go.

First up we have a Black Chapter of Space Marines I can’t remember the name of, Black Consoles? Suggestions welcome. One thing is certain this is a Vanguard Veteran squad armed with power swords, lighting claws and the Sergeant carries a relic blade and storm shield.

Imperial Fist tactical squad
Looking like a Space Marine Squad should with many different armour plates and equipped with The Umbra Ferrox bolters, curtesy of Forge World.

Legion of the Damed
Classic sculpts from the masterful Julien Diaz. Probably the best Space Marine sculptor Games Workshop have ever employed. Please come back Julien, please come back.

Dark Angel Tactical Squad
The looks like the Work of Half God Studios’ El Wood. This Dark Angle Tactical Squad is lead by a classic Jez Godwin Metal Dark Angel Sergeant in Mkviii power armour.

Dark Angel Deathwing Terminator Squad
Unfortunately not a great photo of these ornately detailed Death Wing terminators.

Golden Demon 2014 Diaroma

Posted on November 25, 2014 by Ben Jackson

Diarima category is just as imaginative as the Duel category. In many respect’s the Duel’s big brother. Sometimes leaving the adversaries up to your imagination. This first picture below leaves nothing but the size of the Tyranid Hoard up for debate.

Death Corps of Krieg make a last stand against a Tyranid Hoard lead by a Carifex.

Dark Angel Space Marines confront a Chaos cult lead by a rogue psycher.

A Krone Chaos Space Marine Champion celebrates victory over the corps of a defeated Tyranid Hive Tyrant.

Golden Demon 2014 – 40k Single Miniature

Gallery | Posted on October 15, 2014 by Ben Jackson

Here are all of the 40k Single Miniature entries I was able to get pictures of. As I’ve already stated the standard was amazing this year. While I had improved my own Golden Demon entry I could completely understand why it didn’t make the finals, maybe next year. There is a lot on the model I wasn’t happy with. I was glad non of the Krom Dragongaze mini’s won (Never enter your 1st idea). Most of the models below didn’t even make the finals.

Apart from it being a bit crowded getting to the cabinets the atmosphere was far nicer this year. In fact I think this was the most enjoyable and cheapest Golden Demon I can remember. There was no freebies for entering and only a certificate for making the finals this year. I guess that will keep out the rubbish next year. It was noticeable some of the better painters had not entered this year although other’s had come from across Europe. Last years winner managed 3rd and I didn’t see Painting Buddha either, although the evidence of his DVDs and you tube videos was everywhere. Some of the old crowd that had turned up, looked a little disappointed the community hadn’t turned out in force. I think there were around 300 tickets remaining. Living fairly locally, I’m not sure if the location was a big put off for many this year. The venue was far nicer, Here’s hoping for the the ICC next year (just wishful thinking, nothing more.)

The Ravenwing Rolls Out

Posted on October 9, 2014 by Jon

Today’s picture is a group of Ravenwing bikes and Land Speeders. I’m not sure how you refer to a group of Ravenwing. If it was a group of bikers you might say a convoy or gang. So let’s go with that a gang of Ravenwing Dark Angels. I wasn’t a big fan of those Darkshroud Land Speeders when they came out, but I must confess they have grown on me.

Today’s Picture: Ulthwe Phantom Titan

Posted on April 23, 2014 by Ben Jackson

Jon’s Phantom Titan has featured in a previous battle report on ChapterMasters.
In that game it wreaked havoc while sustaining very little damage itself.
I thought it was about time the Phantom was given it’s own post.
This is a picture Gareth took on the Tau Research Station before the game began.
Jon had tried in vain to hand paint the cracks on the base, until his wife came up with a very cunning plan of using a marker pen to create the cracks.
The final effect clearly shows how the ground crumbles under the shear weight of this Eldar monstrosity.
