CATEGORIES

Here is the category information from the 2007 Golden Demon painting competition for your reference. Please be aware that all category information is subject to change for the 2008 Golden Demon.

Please note, these categories and category information are subject to change.

CATEGORIES

This year there are eleven main categories of Golden Demon, together with two extra categories, the Open Competition and Young Bloods. The Open Competition is a special tournament – anyone can enter, even Games Workshop staff, so expect the standard to be very high. The Young Bloods category showcases the finest efforts of our young, aspiring painters and is open to entrants aged 14 years and under.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS MODELS

There are three Golden Demon Categories open to all The Lord of The Rings entrants: Duel, Diorama and Single Miniature. You may also enter The Lord of The Rings models into the Open Competition. Please note that you may not mix models or model components from our The Lord of The Rings ranges with models from our other ranges in any of the categories. Entries which mix models or model components in this way will be disqualified.

BASES

When describing what bases you may use we have used the term, “appropriately-sized gaming base” in some instances. The intention here is to allow a little flexibility whilst keeping to the spirit of the competition. So, if you want to mount your Terminator on a 40mm square base for aesthetic purposes, you can still enter it in the Warhammer 40,000 single model category. The same applies for Warhammer models mounted on round bases. However, please note the judges reserve the right to move models that are not on appropriate bases into a category they deem more fitting.

SCENIC DISPLAY BASES

Many people like to mount their models upon large scenic display bases or plinths. This is permitted providing the individual model can be removed and stand upon an appropriately sized gaming base. If the scenic base is integral to the model, your entry will only be eligible for the Diorama category. Although display bases can add to the impact of a unit, our judges do not take such bases into consideration when making their decisions. In fact, models on display bases are usually removed from the base when being judged.

JUDGES DECISIONS

In all cases the judges' decisions are final. The judges are all experienced Games Workshop employees and know what they are looking for. They reserve the right to move models into a different category if it is entered inappropriately, or to disqualify a model if they feel it breaches the rules of the competition. We will not enter into any discussion about the judges' decisions.
