Half God Studios- Golden Demon Winner

Posted on April 1, 2018 by Gareth Jones

El Kaye of Half god studios is a Golden Daemon winner from Warhammer Fest 2014, 15, 16, 17 & probably 2018.

Above is his Silver winning entry the from the monstrous creature category at Golden Demon 2014 Horus the warmaster is from the range of Forge world Horus heresy character series.

El Kaye entered several different entries in Golden Demon 2014, which can be seen below.

Lastly a personal Apology to El on the length of time he has waited for this feature on Chapter Masters to go up. Since Gaz drafting it, and then taking a sabbatical from Chapter Masters, Ellis has been featured in White Dwarf a number of times. I can’t claim this was worth the weight, but hopefully it’s still welcome.

Golden Demon 2014 – Open Competition

Posted on January 29, 2015 by Jon

Pictures of open competition entries at Golden Demon 2014

There were a few outstanding entires in the open competition which I didn’t manage to photo. Even thought there were less people at Golden Demon this year there were no less people crowding around the cabinets. All the open entires were good and deserve to be shown. As always there were some fantastic custom built creations and some off the wall entires.

Tanks at Golden Demon 2014

Posted on December 24, 2014 by Jon

The humble tank has had a hard life in 40k in recent years. There was the can opening edition of 40k known as 5th edition, then the event of hull points which both extended and shortened the life of tanks at the same time. Finally there was 7th edition which gave tanks a new lease of life, due to the reduction in armour piercing value of AP2 weapons. However at the same time there has been the introduction of Lords of War, Imperial Knights and Wraith Knights to the standard game table, which has quite frankly squated the place of the tank as the armoured bayomonth on the block. Still it’s nice to see people are still painting them for Golden Demon.

First up we have the lightest tank at Golden Demon, well not really a tank but there are not enough Jeeps to warrant a separate post. I believe this is a Forge World Tauros Rapid Assault Vehicle painted in jungle camouflage.

Next up is a Blood Angle Predator Infurnus.

The was one of my favourite tanks. If you have a problem called the Forge World Spartan, painted in Crimson Fist Chapter Colours.

A stunning Forge World Imperial Fist Rhino

The Dark Angels chase the Fallen in this striking air brushed Rhino. This looks like the work of El from Half God Studios. We will be doing a feature on his work next year.

The lone Xeno entry: Tau Hammer Head with a Plasma Cannon Turret.

Today is Christmas Eve and like all respectable men I need to go and buy a lot of Christmas presents, so this will be the last pre Christmas 2014 post on Chapter Masters. Happy Christmas from Ben, Gareth and myself. I hope your Christmas is full of fun and joy and a little 40k.

Contemptor Dreadnoughts at Golden Demon 2014

Posted on December 16, 2014 by Jon

There was no shortage of Contemptor Dreadnoughts in the 2014 Golden Demon competition. So let get right to these exquisite entires.

Sons of Horus Contemptor Deadnought Armed with plasma cannon and power fist. – Golden Demon 2014

Black Templars Crusading Contemptor Dreadgnought armed with power sword and storm shield – Golden Demon 2014

Spacewolves Contemptor Dreadnought Armed with Assault Cannon and Power Fist – Golden Demon 2014

Blood Angels Contemptor Dreadnought armed with Multi Melta and Las Connon- Golden Demon 2014

I would certainly be happy to have any of these as a centre piece to a Space Marine army. I find the Sons of Horus Dreadnought to be the most striking, while for me the Space Wolf Dreadnought holds the most interesting detail to peruse, however the Black Templar dreadnought features some outstanding conversion work and the the is the Blood Angels Dreadnought with much more subtle but still fine details. I’m glad I don’t have to judge Golden Demon, it would go on a lot later if I did.

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.)
