Welcome to the voting thread for the 22nd Golden Hat modelling and painting competition!
“Lo and behold! Into the endless expanse of the dark and fiery heavens have I gazed, and yet I have beheld the End.
Lo and behold! Into the timeless depths of the wrathful and molten netherworld have I gazed, and yet I have beheld the Times.
Lo and behold! Into the eternal oblivion of the abode of Dark Gods and Daemons alike have I gazed, and there I have beheld the End Times.”
- Opening stanzas of the Foretelling of the Cycle of Doom, by Sorcerer-Prophet Kadruzzimbul-Zharrgonidus Ashtounge the Despoiler

Each (more or less) anonymous entry is numbered ranging from 1 to 12. There is no need to specify which one you think is 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Simply list the three that you like and we will do the rest. You are not allowed to vote for yourself.

I like them all! Some of them are a little "normal" the theme considered. but they look great nonetheless.
Super cool to see so many entries on such a weird theme. I'm proud of you guys!! <3

Yes, 2 votes are not difficult for me personally. Meeting the contest theme will decide my 3rd.
edit: votes are in. It hurt me that I could not vote for more.
I’m really torn on this; for me there are two entries that blow the others out of the water painting wise, but they’re so mundane that I’m not sure if they true lily fit the theme of the End Times :/. I suppose they technically fit the theme as they would still participate in the End Times, but I’m not sure if they fit the spirit which unless I’m mistaken was to do something that fits in with the zany stuff that GW has been outputting.

I agree, because of this I decided at last to split my votes into "best paintjob", "most thematic/best idea" and "personal favourite". Wish I had more votes, awesome entries all.
i think the quality of entries in this GH blows the lids off of everything we have done over the last year or 2.
I have a fave, but picking the other 2 to vote for will be tough, as with malorndk sticking to theme is pretty important here, but because its a GH and not an artizans i think painting quality still has to come into it
In regard to the theme and re-reading the competition anouncement I can totally see what you mean. When speaking to Admiral about the theme, we also talked about all the coold End Times special characters.
So sitting here looking at the entries, som come out as new unit types of unique characters. And I try to make a name for all of them. Like the giant Iron Demon machine. What’s the story behind that.
In the end I’m gonna vote for the coolest stuff as always! And there’s some really cool stuff this time around.
