Golden Demon Italy 2012

Ciao ragazze e ragazzi! Volomir reporting from Italy!


What a wonderful weekend in Milan and Modena! I have to thank all of my Italian friends for the wonderful hospitality, I love Italy and the italian Golden Demon and I hope to repeat very soon in the future! Or Monte San Savino next year maybe? I don't know, but I hope it doesn't pass too much time without seeing them again. Bravissimo!

The Golden Demon was great with a very high level from all of the participants. Medium level in this country has demonstrated to be the highest in the Golden Demon circuit nowadays (waiting to see what GD France has to offer) and really great considering they are maintaining the level from last year. It was an insane day where I did many things, from participating in Scrap Demon to giving a painting demonstration which was really interesting, and I had time to make my usual photo report for you guys. Of course, I did my best, but there are many entries I couldn't photograph because at the moment I took them they were being judged. The cabinets were swarming with people all day so it was hard work. Please forgive me anyway!

Slayersword went to Luciano Rossetto for an absolutely astonishing conversion of an Ork Warboss, beautiful model with a very different way of painting to what I'm used to, and very careful about the details. Check out all the photos I have taken for you guys to see. Enjoy!

Oh, and surprisingly I won silver in Open with my Imperial Fist Space Marine! Why in Open you will be asking? Because the miniature is modelled by Master of the Forge and the new rules of Golden Demon do not allow teamwork unless in Open category. So that's where I entere, and luckily I got the little Silver Open Plaque! Nice! Photos from the Imperial Fist coming soon!

Arrivederci amici!
