This Bretonnian Trebuchet from the talented hands of Martin Footitt was a Golden Demon Open Category Winner.
Of course I was taking photographs before the winners announce, and over the weekend I got my (UK edition of) White Dwarf which came with the free Golden Demon winners booklet. This was nice not only because they didn’t try and sell it like they did last year in WHSmith… but also I found many of the miniatures I had seen and liked enough to photograph had in fact been winners.
This is an Ork Skiff.

I am not sure if this is a valid concept, though I do like it.
The usual Warhammer 40K fluff indicates that such anti-grav machines are difficult to maintain (hence the rarity of such vehicles in the Imperium, with the Space Marine Land Speeder been one of the few, and the jetbike that will make an appearance in the new Dark Angels releases).
Land Speeders can’t be looted by Orks (unlike other Space Marine vehicles) because Orks can’t maintain the anti-grav, hence my comment above on the concept.
This is an entry into the UK 2006 Golden Demon awards.

It is a well modelled iced up snowy Imperial Guard Leman Russ Demolisher.

However though I like the concept, I think it fails as a Golden Demon entry as the Golden Demon is a painting competition, not a modelling competition.
