Golden Demon 2014 – Horus Lucpel and Ferrus Manus

Posted on November 21, 2014 by Ben Jackson

Here are the Horus Heresy entries in the Monstrous Creature category of Golden Demon 2014 at Warhammer Fest. Horus managed to get himself into just about every category in Golden Demon. Monstrous Creature makes the most sense to me. The shading on both of these models is absolutely beautiful. It’s a shame the photo of Horus doesn’t quite have good enough focus for a close up.

Golden Demon 2014 Monstrous Creature – Tyranids

I didn’t come across many Tyranid entry’s in Golden Demon 2014. Probably due to the limited number of categories they can be entered in. There were two present in the Monstrous Creature section and a handful more between Diorama and Duel. I wouldn’t really say there was one stand out entry, for a best bug in show award.

Forge World Tyranid Malthrope

Tyranid Haruspex – Hive Fleet Kraken

Not from the same category but there is a Carifex in there.

There were a few Ork Warlords in the Golden Demon Monstrous Creature Category. so they can have their own post.

The Battle of Calth Pictures from Warhammer Fest 2014

The battle of Calth in pictures from Warhammer Fest 2014. The battle of Calth was the ultimate betrayal of the Emporer’s grand scheme. Friend turned on friend, battle brother on battle brother. The Word Bearers planed methodically to catch the Ultramarines off guard. Expecting assistance, instead the Ultramarines were out numbered at outgunned. whole Chapters of Ultramarines were wiped out before they knew what was happening. A small Ultramarine force mounted a resistance against unbeatable odds.

These pictures below were taken at Warhammer Fest 2014. This was by far the most popular display by Forgeworld and possibly the highlight of the event.

These are Bens Pick for his favourite entires at Golden Demon. Rather than looking at painting quality Ben has been looking purely at the colour scheme and overall look. He did only had my pictures to go on, so sorry if I didn’t take a picture of your model; and after all Ben’s opinion won’t get you into White Dwarf.

If you are wondering about the Red and Green stickers on the entry cards. The Green Sticker denote an entry which is being considered as a finalist and goes through to the next round. The red sticker is an entry which has been photographed and may therefore appear in Warhammer Visions, White Dwarf or on the Games Workshop website in White Dwarf daily.

While the number of entries was lower this year the quality was possible even higher.

I’ve seen some very negative feedback on other sites about Warahammer Fest and while the Games Workshop studio was totally out done by Forgeworld, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole event.
As Golden Demon isn’t running on the Saturday, Games Workshop management need to give some more thought to what takes pace in it’s void; If they run the same formate next year and expect people to attend both days, while I would have been happy to have a reason to do. It was also very disappointing the Studio didn’t bring along a couple of display boards from their impressive collection and a few more of their senior staff.
But those were the only down points and really not that big a deal. The venue was better, the space given to none sale activities was bigger, the lighting at Golden Demon was better, the parking was better, more content was provided. All in all it was a great day out and I can’t wait for next year to roll around.
