More INCREDIBLE Warhammer Miniatures from 2024's Golden Demon in Germany!

[@James_Hunt77]

Those young blood minis blew my mind. Such talent, almost prodigy level even.

[@firstylastington6127]

How judges for these decide on winners without getting a serious case of decision paralysis is well beyond me!

[@piotrjeske4599]

One of the longer (since like the 90s) thing people noticed is that it is favourable to paint your models in the "studio style" and the opposit (aka having a style studio members do not like) can end you with a pin for a model looking better , then just very good. It is also very hard to get in to (by that l mean winning the over all event) by eastern euro and especialy russian painters. Plus at the top everyone knows more or less everyone, so it is not on the hardness of taking a decision level of which grandma you like better , the rich one from Chelabynsk or your moms mother who can actualy cook.

[@GeoHilbrandt]

There are certain people who tend to pop up just when youre having an awful day to help out. Thats twice now with you. I hope your channel thrives

[@tarekt8427]

crazy how some of these dont seem real with how damn good they are.

[@nick1635]

I just love your positivity and enthusiasm for the hobby! You should enter the next competition for sure!

[@rexringtail471]

That Kreig diorama is so evocative

[@t_k_blitz4837]

You're such a joy to listen to!

[@roguehobbies]

Aw thank u friend 🥹

[@thruntroll2983]

Amazing entries! I love seeing the creativity and innovation of the painters/sculptors! The youngblood entries absolutely blew me away!! Talk about prodigies! Looking forward to the 5 hour video 😜

[@Axefacepaints]

It was such a wonderful event! Hope to see you there next time🎉

[@roguehobbies]

I'm gunna have to make it now after I said I would in TWO videos 😭

[@tylerholmes2727]

​@@roguehobbies We all know that you will do great. Just a suggestion maybe set a timer for how much paint time you want to put into something before starting the project. And while you're doing the project see if that was a reasonable or feasible time that you projected. The odds are that no it was not a reasonable time you need more but it's a good exercise to continue to do with competition pieces and yourself.

[@leonelchicas9080]

Thanks for the “Best of the Rest”! I’m not gonna lie, Zimikito has been pushed to me on my FYP for forever and occasionally watched his vids but hadn’t subscribed because, well there’s only so many creators a person can follow. 🤷🏽‍♂️ But his entry that you showed was my favorite! I love it when painters skew away from grimdark in their 40k minis. (when appropriate) And I swear to my patron Saint Katherine’s ever beating heart that his Blood Elves were, IMHO, fantastic! So I Googled him and was like “Oh, that guy!” and immediately subscribed. Anyway great video!

[@Cerviathrax]

That upwards woosh at the beginning really reminded me of Rock 95.5's Maria Palmer and honestly, love that for you, what a vibe.

[@squidlump]

Wow just watched your first video yesterday and now there’s a part 2!

[@carlstanford7607]

Fantastic video. Blown away by these models

[@roguehobbies]

They just keep better every single year 🫠

[@jorgemontero6384]

I loved seeing so many miniatures that are just plain-old versions of normal miniatures, instead of complex conversions, as we see in most year. It's a painting competition, not a sculpting competition.

[@Ultr4l0f]

GW not haveing a little mini gallery of each model (just like 3 pictures or something) is insane. Even on a monitor you cant make out the minute stuff. So haveing like a zoomed in face or whatnot would be great.

[@dominikheinrici5228]

GO GO GO Louise! HYPE! Why not make your Golden Demon project a video or a series of videos? From picking the model to the finish. I'd love to watch that!

[@p.a.u.l.555]

Awesome talent at Golden demons, have a great weekend Louise, take care 😊

[@roguehobbies]

Thanks You too bud 😁

[@alexanderh.4544]

In my opinion, the main thing about these contest is to paint a miniature perfectly. So the Space Marine totally deserves to win. Btw the paintjob on the Bretonian Knight, also submitted by Christian, was also perfectly executed

[@karstedt9987]

I think the ork on mecha shark is my favorite and he really nailed the chrome finish on the pipes. 50% shark, 50% ork, 50% muscle car, really great. Could only improve if the exhaust was bagpipes.

[@YeeWhoEnterHere]

What a treat, a nice distraction from my surgery two weeks ago, fyi it still hurts! Poor me oh oh oh ha ha. Such wonderful entries, taking a hobby to an art form. I do fine art painting on canvases, I can honestly say miniature painting and miniature painting community has thought this old silver dog some new tricks.

[@isisnmagic1812]

Great video thanks for the pictures for those of us who was unable to go in person.

[@fleshbhones]

It's wild to see how the standard keeps rising. Any one of the Commended Entries would have easily won the slayer sword not that long ago!

[@heighRick]

Thanks for sharing your favourite entries with us, great video, helps a lot!

[@superready]

AT LAST!! VERTICAL WHOOSH!! ...also yes 100% hype up for going to GD next year! I really want to try and enter something too. if it's back in the UK again I'll do whatever I can to see you there!

[@andrewcripps9088]

😂love the frozen reference, oh and guess the golden daemon stuff was ok 🤷‍♂️😉

[@aztecjaguar6571]

Those three Eldar and the Death Corps of Krieg Units are both so awesome.

[@gilbertgarnica7896]

I love that world eater!!!! I painted mine in the heresy pattern armor I love to see how amazing people have painted that model!!!!

[@gallindordarion4235]

That space Marine I think is pretty amazing. What they're going for is setting the expectation. If the expectation is always super non metallics and hyper realistic skin, it goes against the expectations of a marine even in the box art which for beginners or even moderate is already really hard to replicate.

[@alphawolf2993]

I think the doves symbolize what the flag says. It represents the dead in the pit finally knowing peace from war. Very cool.

[@SenseiWuzi]

Louise! Hyyyype. Do it Hyyyyype

[@XMan-mi6gs]

Plz attent next year @GD25!!! Your unique happy coloured style will do great!!!

[@roguehobbies]

Woohoo! I'll do my best!!

[@stoatystoat174]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1121">18:41</a>The orc looks so alive it's a bit spooky

[@ianwilborn8239]

Thanks for these videos! Love the recap!

[@Blacknight8850]

I like that the people who submitted models with backgrounds this year seem to have gone the extra mile in HAND painting them with such detail.

[@crann777]

I found the Slayer Sword winner unimpressive, but maybe that's the point; it's so well done that no one element sticks out as good or bad.

[@X.davidWilliams]

Huzzah! Great Event Content,, always enjoy the work your company puts into them. Top Notch. also I recently received my order albeit a small one. But I saw lots of really cool stuff, so I know go back.

[@DamBrooks]

I want the fishing Goblin so badly it’s scary 😦

[@mathewcooper8505]

Well I’m inspired to go back and tackle the Highland Miniatures Hippogryph that so very scares me and my mediocre talent

[@joehill6916]

So many amazing examples but my no. 1 is that incredible Escher diorama in the Necromunda category.

[@dot-alpha]

Limited edition vertical whoosh!!!

[@lockjaw36]

People may complain about a single space marine model winning, but to me, that makes it harder since a diorama helps pull the eyes to other places. When you have nothing but one model, I feel have more time to scrutinize every single small detail.

[@whilezeno]

Think of all the cool things you could do with a sword. Forget the fame, just having a live sized 3d printed goblin dragging around a slayer sword makes it all worth it.

[@johnm.withersiv4352]

I want to see some more Epic competitors and young bloodz!

[@piotrjeske4599]

Congrats to Żaba and Ewcia .

[@S.C.D.]

Yes, you cover this well, yes you should go, yes you should enter. ❤

[@timothyritchie5290]

Louise - imagine the rainbow warriors taking their rightful place in golden demon! You have to go for it next year!!

[@johnm.withersiv4352]

I hope you interview Nikolas Rubens Mortensen in a future video. Chat about his process and work.

[@themegagromp]

I think magus maxed out what you can do with just a gw kit. No putty or clay, just a perfectly painted bastian with what came in the box.

[@jforden78]

The single Ultramarine was fantastic. I also really liked the vampire pirate ship, how big was that one?

[@jorgemontero6384]

And it wasn't the only one with minimal sculpture: The bronze in the open competition was a frigging free mini of the month earlier in the year, with just a base. In the Single Mini category, there's plain kroot, as-is, with a little bit of a diorama to place a bird, as-is. Just amazing painting instead of 200 hours of sculpting on top

[@pimvandergeer7179]

A 100% Real Intelligence *pop!*🎉🎉 😂😂😂😂😂😂 thanks for that One sugs 🙌

[@pimvandergeer7179]

Hope you don't mind a random stranger in your comments Calling you 'sugs', as a non English native speaker, I find it easier to type then loeuisoise? Loisleli? Loui loeisee...? Feck. 😝Louise? Sorry. 😔

[@MisterTingles]

I really shot myself in the foot by not going to SPIEL to see the competition in person... I got as far as the front desk on Saturday, but by then it was completely sold out and I had to turn right around :(

[@thehonestwargamerstreams]

This is great!!

[@8bitflea]

This is cool. I just started painting miniatures and I find it fun… but I’m terrible 😅

[@rjfrantz539]

My mind is blown!

[@RolandoRatas]

Do they want to inspect your entry before you enter the event ? I mean has there ever been a case where someone got to enter the competition and then on the day turned up with a mini that was painted in 3 colours only and done in 8 minutes ?

[@kristoff7049]

Go next year or our disappointment will be large … now go paint and SLAY

[@matthewbagley4287]

Do golden demon next time!

[@porkchop4401]

So awesome

[@alusetsfire]

Shoot, i live near Essen and i just wasnt really confident to go there. I knew squidmar would give a painting lesson and that would have been so exciting for me. But have a little social phobia, so i didn't took the 20 minute train to go there. Am i the Idiot?

[@collywwob]

Can’t watch this yet but wanted you to know the potato oven weighs 42kgs. Rob said not to tell you.

[@roguehobbies]

God damn it

[@thehonestwargamerstreams]

I SAID!!!

[@ukaszpiasecki7882]

You missed the old world category

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

:) nice video 🎉

[@simone_78]

Germany? I hope it took place in Altdorf 🦁

[@YuzoKoshiroSan]

Nah, it took place in Essen (western part of Germany), but there's Warhammer counterpart in the empire - just like with Altdorf, which is located in Bavaria.

[@sirguy6678]

Fun video!

[@McWerp]

'100% Real Intelligence' 🤣

[@chocolatemonk]

Liquidy agreed.f buttery. I dont think anyone could judge from video. That marine could have just looked perfect in a way I can think about but not feel cause i wasn't holding in my hand judging it

[@chiggn7456]

i miss Burger

[@roguehobbies]

he misses you too

[@J50143]

Cool

[@BSJDynasty]

Why LotR is missing 🤣

[@Ragamuffin-Guesses-cgc-grades]

Start your golden demon entree model now then you will have plenty of time before the next competition, time is on your side....if you start now.

[@anthonywaggett9317]

At the end of the day, Golden Demon is a mini painting competition not a sculpting/2d traditional art competition so seeing a single unaltered Space Marine win a prize is fitting.

[@Mensch777]

Germany, fick ja!

[@BlizzardofKnives]

666th Like 😈.

[@miller413]

.......... Immediately. (Please)

[@roguehobbies]

As always your enthusiasm is greatly appreciated 🤣
