[Archive] Golden Hat XXII - Voting!

Abecedar:

Still thinking. Am trying not to dismiss any of them out of hand and it easier to keep checking back at them now that “Admirals” added the big pictures.

Haha, shhh not a K’daii this time… :stuck_out_tongue: The thought this time was Astragoth possessed by Hashut and bursting into a giant shape of living fire.

Thats what I felt like last week.

Johny Cash visited me in the bathroom for 3 days singing “Burning Ring of Fire”

Admiral:

Difficult decision indeed. I went for theme first this time, but even then it was a tough call.

One thing is clear: The entrants will have very good additions to their collections thanks to their entries. Great stuff.

Bloodbeard:

“What do you call an undead war mammoth?”



“A skelephant!”

Malorndk:

Ahahahahaha xD

This message was automatically appended because it was too short.

"What do you call an undead war mammoth?"

...

"A skelephant!"

Bloodbeard
Brilliant!

Fuggit Khan:

This might be one of the best batch of entries in quite awhile for a GH…lots of superb models. Some show top notch painting, some are incredibly cool conversions and others really capture the theme of the End Times.

As always, one is my outright favorite…I love scratch built conversions. My second vote will go to the best ‘theme’ model, and final vote will be for painting.

Great entries guys! :hat off

DAGabriel:

The Skelephant made my day!

Regarding theme:

I find no fault with most (except 2) of the models in such a wide theme (cited the examples given in the starter thread down) and would even give them the benefit of doubt.

I think there may come GHs with a tighter defined theme, but this one was imho one rather free one, so I put painting and building first and neglected theme in my votes.

Examples Wrote:

A revived petrified Sorcerer-Prophet. A monstrous infantry or monster-sized stone, obsidian or mechanical idol Colossus. A Chaos Dwarf Loremaster of Undeath on a mechanically bound Zombie Dragon. Astrogoth or a Chaos Dwarf monstrous infantry model in a steam-driven megasuit of armour. A Daemon Prince of Hashut. An Undead Lamassu with rider. A character shooting Warpstone metorites.

Korakagrakk, mounted atop a lava beast. A lone Sorcerer-Prophet riding a platform for sorceries and sacrifice, built upon a giant Iron Daemon. A Chaos Dwarf character mounted on a titanic K’daai Destroyer, full of flames. A giant bull of molten metal. A Sorcerer-Prophet busy casting spells, standing atop a giant pillar carved with fresques and runes. A sorcerer surfing on a possessed lava wave. A Bull Centaur temple guard leader with ensorcelled equipment.

Admiral:

Skelephant. :smiley:

@DAGabriel: There will definitely be more limited themes to come for future contests (next GH will have a simple, narrow theme familiar to any veteran members on CDO), but we want to keep it pretty open with the End Times run, since we believe the participants deserve that kind of freedom to roam wild on their workbench and craft what they regard as suitable for ET. We could have launched one contest for Korakagrakk or Special Characters in general, and another for people’s take on new CD ET units, but it wasn’t really necessary and would have prolonged the End Times run a great deal. :slight_smile:

DAGabriel:

My thoughts exactly, thx.

gIL^:

Dwarf surfing the end of the world. Just awesome.

Admiral:

Bump for today.

@g^IL: Indeed! One of many such great entries in this Golden Hat. :slight_smile:

MaraLynn:

Bump, 2 days to go!

Wanna see if my votes were near the mark!

Bloodbeard:

My votes are in!

This big nose #11 reminds me of volcanologist's Chaos Dwarfs. But it can't be his because he is absent for months.

Herby
What better way to improve the old Nagash by slapping a big nose on him!

Admiral:

Last chance to get your votes in before deadline, folks! Easter celebrations and activites this weekend might mean that the results thread could come late rather than early tomorrow (I can’t tell for sure at the moment). So please relax and don’t hold your breath if it’s a bit late in getting posted. :slight_smile:

Abecedar:

No mercy or time off to eat easter eggs will be accepted as excuses. Personally I got a Storm trooper “egg”
