The North American leg of Golden Demon went off in style at AdeptiCon 2025 last month. It was yet another fantastic event featuring some of the most talented miniature painters in the world – with Borja Calvo Bertrán de Lis winning the coveted Slayer Sword.
But things are not stopping there. We have already announced that the second leg will return to Essen SPIEL in October this year, and we want to give entrants as much time as possible to get their entries together. These are the entry guidelines:
Along with our changes to the awards structure and the new pin design, the only change to the categories from Adepticon 2025 ensures that custom sculpts are exclusively eligible for entry into the Open Competition.
We are also very pleased to announce that Roman Lappat, a Slayer Sword winner from 2013, will complete a full season as our guest judge at the event.
In the meantime, we love seeing all your artwork online, so please make sure to keeping sharing the progress on your entries with us on social media, using the #GoldenDemon and #PaintingWarhammer hashtags.
