…and ruling over ash and slag they will reign in utter darkness."



Titan Wargames presents: The 24th Golden Hat competition!

We are pleased to announce that this round of Golden Hat has been sponsored by Titan Wargames! The gold winner of the contest will receive a squad of 14 Dragoons led by Grulka Blackhand:





Roark will award the silver winner of the contest with 10 Russian Alternative Harqebusiers and the below command group (Roark will be away for circa 6 weeks on end in the Australian desert by the time the contest ends, though, so the silver winner will have to wait for his prize):





The bronze winner of the contest will receive one squadron of unpainted Evil Dwarf Escort Vessels from Admiral!



Subject Matter: Chaos Dwarf Open Theme!

For this contest we want you to come up with anything relating to Chaos Dwarfs and Hobgoblins, no matter the game system, the scale, the base, the number of miniatures in the entry. It’s all up to you. You could enter a single 28mm character model, a monster, a unit of Infernal Guard, a complete army on a display board, a Chaos Dwarf mining complex, an altar with idols, a 6mm regimental stand of converted Chaos Dwarfs, a unit filler, a duel, a K’daai Man o’ War ship or whatever you fancy!

(The only catch is that it must be a model or models and can’t be an art painting or life-size cardboard fort in your living room that you’ve painted up and moved into for the duration of the competition.)

Let your creativity and skills run free and show us how cool Chaos Dwarfs can be! That’s all. Just make sure it is fully painted and hasn’t been shown in its completed state before (although WIP shots of any conversion or modeling work are welcome in the submission photos).

Still, if you are unsure if your entry will fit the subject matter, please contact Admiral or Willmark and they’ll sort it out with the rest of the Staff.

Basing is unrestricted and up to your discretion with the following exception: Display bases and plinths are not allowed, though diorama style bases are.

Specifics

Subject: Anything painted concerning Chaos Dwarfs or Hobgoblins.

Bases: Up to your discretion. Diorama style bases allowed! No display bases or plinths, though, please.

The Due Date: 11:59 PM March 27th, 2016 EST (Eastern Standard Timezone)

Please read the full rules that apply to the Golden Hat competition before submitting your entry.

Submission

All entries must be sent to the Golden Hat account no later than the due date. Entries will not be accepted after this. (Entrants have approximately 6 weeks to complete entries). If for some reason you are having trouble with your submission, contact one of the Staff. In order to avoid problems, entrants should not wait until the last minute to submit their entries.

How to Enter

Upload up to 4 photos of your entries to the Internet. Photos may not have additional text or items/models unrelated to your entry. Next, send a PM to Golden Hat (a special user that all Staff have access to) containing the links where the pictures can be found. (Note: This is the same as previous Golden Hats).

If you win:

- Walk across the backs of the cowed masses you have scorned and pushed aside, in order to take your place in the vaunted Golden Hat Hall of Fame.

- Receive the Golden Hat medal for your online persona.

- Everyone who enters gets a number of slaves equal to the number of entries. If 20 people enter we award 20 slaves to each person who entered. Entries will count towards a veteran medal.

- Win prizes! See above for details.

Once all entries are received a thread will be created for voting and determining the winners!

If there are any questions it is best post them here so that everyone can benefit from any details or clarifications that may arise.

Prize

Gold winner will win 14 Titan Wargames Dragoons led by Grulka.

Silver winner will win 10 Russian Alternative Harqebusiers with 3 command miniatures, BUT will have to wait for a while before the prize can be shipped.

Should you wish to donate a prize to the contest, please PM Admiral or Willmark and they will sort it out with you and the Staff.

Good luck everyone!

Abecedar:

I hate “open” themes. I have enough problems with my imagination running rampant with a focused theme let along one that could be anything

Admiral:

Prizes upgraded! Baggronor has kindly donated a whole squadron of Dragoons led by a lady for the gold winner. Roark will generously offer the silver winner with Russian Alternative Harqebusiers with command. Boats will be bronze prize.

Hill_Billy_Bub:

I have just the project to enter for this

Roark:

Grulka Blackhand is far from a “trophy wife”, but certainly a nice prize for the winner!

Abecedar:

More like a wife with more trophies than you.

Zanko:

Very difficult task! I have no idea what to build / paint … :~

But the awesome prices are more than a small stimulus to paint some models … :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

                        :hashut

Willmark:

I think. In as well.

Pyro Stick:

Xander:

I know what I am going to paint! :smiley:

Fuggit Khan:

Holy Hashut! :hashut

What an incredible amount of prizes being offered :o

“And what a theme, what a lovely theme”…but I’m going to have to go into overtime if I’m to finish an entry on time, since I’m leaving on vacation in a few weeks.

With great prizes, an open theme and so many wildly creative people here on CDO, this promises to quite the Golden Hat to be sure :cheers

Bloodbeard
Well, I've been a little bit vacant from the hobby in the last few months. But yes, even without prizes I'd love to come back to the GH. I always loved this competition.
I have some unreleased projects on hold. This could be an excuse to go back to them. :hashut
