Golden Gobbos 2019 Entires

It's time once more for the glorios Golden Gobbos painting competition to be judged! This is the annual Oldhammer Forum paintfest and always attracts a lovely array of vintage and curio miniatures in varied style. It's a free-for-all open competition which Ketil Trout has managed to once again push to its fullest by entering another giant goblin 'scenic base' complete with chariot animals... I'll say no more.

Here they are then, this year's entries. Once you're done gazing at their wonder and beauty you can vote for your favourite here: VOTING THREAD

The winner, 2nd and 3rd place will get small prizes.

The Fourth Annual Oldhammer Forum Golden Gobbos Painting Competition 2018

We've had a great load of entries in the Golden Gobbos this year, so here they are in all their glory (and no particular order).

Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer

My name is Zragg, the undefeated,
The evil gods chose me to bring despair and destruction to the world!
Fear the holy handgrenade of Hashut, the Father of Darkness!

Terminator Captain

Dwarf Warrior

Skeleton Warrior

Godfreig wrestled with the burning fire inside his head trying to recall where he was. The last he recalled was marching resolutely with his fellow farm hands under the stewardship of his Baron, towards what seemed to be an endless tide of savage green maws and glinting axes. His mind continued to slide back to the darkness pulling at his soul, the constant nagging to walk ever onwards as if drawn by some unnatural well. He stumbled on. Rounding the small copse, the burning inside his skull became stronger as he began to vaguely register other shambling figures resembling folk he dimly recalled. Turning back to where he was heading he caught sight of a wizened man hunched in discoloured robes, clutching a glowing staff of ebony coloured wood. As he fell into line with the growing throng his mind slipped away, replaced with the lobotomised command of a darker power.
Lutheran Darkshade gripped the glowing talisman in his right hand and smiled as the legion of undead assembled before him.

Centaur

Dark Elf Swordsman Captain

Dark Elf Crossbow Captain

Ogre

Reaver Titan (yes, it counts... single, 28mm scale figure!)

Mercenary Captain

'...Across the Border Princes men tell a tale: of a child raised in the slave pits of the corrupted Chaos Dwarfs. Forced to fight for survival for the cruel pleasures of his masters; the child was raised in blood and slaughter. In time the boy became a man, the man became a champion. His masters paraded him like a prize pony, adorned in the armour and helm of an ancient hero…
…The tale tells how he broke his chains, cast off his collar; turned on his masters and cut them down in an orgy of vengeance and fury, escaping the dark heat of the pits ahead a blood-crazed mob of freed slaves hell-bent on the destruction of their former masters…’
