Subject Matter: The Flaming Taurus (what ever you imagine that to be)

As with past Golden Hat competitions, this is a modeling and painting competition.

The entry an be anything you like. It may be a single model of any size, it may be two models locked in a duel, it may be a unit, multiple units, a warmachine, or perhaps your vision of “The Flaming Taurus” is the local pub in old Zharr Naggrund where filthy hard-working folk gather to drink and trade tall tales of their slave hordes and latest exploits at the forge!

You can convert or model your own figure(s), or use any existing model(s) from any miniatures range (maybe the recently released Blazing Taurus for that other army should be shown its new home in your army? 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).

Basing

The choice is unrestricted, so you may choose to go with a diorama style, a plinth, or any other sort of base - or no base at all.

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

Prizes

Uther the unhinged:

Fantastic. Taurus, great subject! Flaming… ummm… Igor light the furnace. We have work to do!

tjub:

Fun concept! Lets see what we can do with it… :slight_smile:

Abecedar:

Thinking mode … engaged.

Admiral:

Great take on the theme, Nicodemus!

Prizes are now revealed in the first post. :hashut

Nicodemus:

Excellent assortment of prizes!! Fantastic. Thanks.

Kamphre:

I have absolutely no idea what to do…:~

Zanthrax:

Great theme love the pub idea

Nicodemus:

Great theme love the pub idea

Zanthrax
Haha, thanks! ;)

Zanko:

Cool topic, but I don’t have an idea what to do yet … :~

                     :hashut

Nicodemus:

You’d think I’d be more organized coming up with the GH idea… but nope.  And to boot I’m neck-deep in my forge and train projects. Oh well x.x

Admiral:

Added another prize for gold. :hashut

Abecedar:

I think I’m actually making good progress on this one.

How evryone else going?

Uther the unhinged:

Igor informs me that operation �?~Flaming Taurus�?T proceeds to plan. Admittedly I have had to pull all resources from other projects. I know there is some muttering in the ranks that the giant squiddly snail cavalry (note to self �?~I must find a more evil name�?T) are delayed again. No matter. I must win a Golden Hat medal! All must be sacrificed to this aim! Igor! More slaves!!

Abecedar:

Same here. Ben Hur would be unhappy as the effort involved would be out sizing him.

Will Liam:

I won�?Tt be able to enter in the competition this time guys - trying to get a house onto the market before the nice weather comes - can�?Tt wait to see you�?Tve all done though

Zanthrax:

Mine will make the deadline:hat

HPN:

I think this is going to be a tough contest, but i’m working on a bull right now, so i might be able to Jump in!

Admiral:

Building and painting going well for everyone?

Abecedar:

Well, Re-Building might be a closer term. Painting as always will be my Achilles Heal.

I like how it will turn out ( in my mind at least so far ).
