Abecedar & Titan Wargames Presents: The winners of the 27th Golden Hat competition!
A nailbiter of a voting has finished. We had a soaring turnout of entries, with submissions spanning from Daemon blimps and steam flyers, to flying sailing ships and giant zeppelins. It was splendid to see all these airships take to the skies!
And an honourable mention to Abecedar, who trailed the bronze winner valiantly. Also, a special mention of honour goes to Pappa Midnight, who edited Grimstonefire’s originally washed-out pictures for clarity, to give entry #1 a sporting chance.
The entry key! You can share your love for each entry by donating slaves to the owners of the entries!
Slaves and medals are coming! Should you have earned a new Veteran’s Medal (gained at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 main contests entered), please contact us and link us all your entries in all previous Golden Hat and Artisan’s Contest competitions (note: Scribe’s Contest does not count towards this purpose, but have its own Veteran Scribe’s Medal).
Thanks for 3rd prize and very cool minis - Just happy to have made a place in this comp - A lot of nice ships here in this lot they blew me away - cheers guys
Well done all, congradulations. I loved the ones that placed. And I got to build something I wanted but couldn’t get into the manufacturing que. So there’s still a bit of work to finish it up to what I envisaged. And… Hint Hint… I still need a Skullcracker and a tunneller
I’d love to know (in this thread) what the models you all used are.
Mines pretty obvious. Cardboard, superglue, flyscreen, superglue, scrap bits of junk, more superglue, a couple empire guns and FW Fireglaive models for crew.
It will be a while before I get any other photos up due to th FN Photobucket debacle.
Wow! I won. A great return for me, I think this is my first golden hat since 2011 possibly! It’s a very long time anyways.
Thanks to Admiral for doing all the work behind the scenes, and for Abecedar for his very kind offer here. Sadly I have a very long list of things to paint, and the ass cannon doesn’t really fit in with my army aesthetic (great model though it is). So I would kindly like to offer this to my fellow medalists, or failing that to whoever scored 4th place.
I would also like to add that my model is for sale if anyone wants it.
It was great fun doing it, and I am so tempted to do the biggest of the airships complete with tentacles out the front… But I also have many, many other models I’d like to buy.
It wasn’t the best photos I took for it, but I realised you can’t see the mouth very clearly on the lower part of the ship. I’ll take some better photos when possible. The ship is called the Hrakenfel, which I planned to be part of the Black Kraken fleet (in honour of the Dreadfleet ship) fluff wise.
