Golden Hat XXII - End Times Theme

"It comes! It comes! Great Four shall be Five and creation shall be shattered into desolation, yet from out of the ruins shall the victors stride over the corpses of once numerous living and the rubble of once great works. And they shall stride triumphant and cruel in their might, their flames a blaze of power untold and their darkness a cloak of fear. And their arms shall be strong and scarred from hardship and struggle victorious, yet life shall be bought at the cost of their souls. And they shall wade across the morass of plague unscathed, and wander through the plains of famine untouched. And they shall march unto the fields of war undaunted and walk through the gates of death, and beyond that fickle oblivion, Chaos awaits. It comes! The end comes!"
- Last words of Sorcerer-Prophet Grazhukkimbul Hornbreaker, spoken in a frenzied fit of bloodletting and self-mutilation, which ended in a faulty petrification that reduced his statuary remains to nought but gravel

The Staff

BeeZharr:

Oh my! Surely if there was ever a sign of the End Times then my winning a painting competition is it! Thank you so much everyone who voted for me, I really appreciate it - I’d been planning this Astragoth conversion for years, so great to pull it off. And great to see my favourite, DAGrabiel’s, take second too - very nice paint job.

Admiral:

Besides, Bloodbeard scored 4th place yet again. This must be some kind of sign from high Hashut Himself, but what could it mean? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

@BeeZharr: Your reading of omens and dark portents is powerful indeed, mighty one. :wink:

TheHoodedMan:

@BeeZharr: That was good timing to release that conversion at this time!

You and DAGabriel got my votes, well deserved, congratulations!

I really enjoyed this one.

Great result indeed. Congratulations to the winners.

It takes a lot of work to deliver a quality consistent enough to always get fourth place. I call that an achievement! And I have a super cool new general model for my army.

I will add 12 slaves to all entrants som the Admins Pit of Unlimited Slaves.

Thanks for the votes.

Thanks to the person who took pity on my lava-surfing Chaos Dwarf! The ebb and flow of time has a huge effect on my painting schedule.
