Hello people!
You are making ready to enter the Golden Demon Germany 2013 (August 11th 2013) or just want to visit the famous german Games Day?
You are still not convinced by the new ticket prizes and still think about your travel might be worth the money?
Now you've come to the right place in the right time:
Win yourself a free Games Day ticket for this years event in Cologne, Germany.
All travel costs are up to you, we only provide and ship you the ticket.
How to win?
Hit the comments and tell us your painting story, your "Why?" it has to be you who wins that ticket!
Be creative and honest and this jungle prize might be yours! One person, one comment! Only here, not on facebook or elsewhere!
This event runs until May 31th 2013. On that date the best answer will be chosen by the elder monkeys of the tribe!
Hit it!
Because I would very much like to meet other painters and have a chat with them and learn more that way. Since here in the Netherlands the painting community is very small and there aren't many events to go to. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen i win, i got the push to finish my first mini for the GD.
ReplyDeleteI´m on the beginning to paint minis on high class but why dont try it ;)
I want to win - why? because I dont need the ticket. but A good friend of mine who plays warhammer and paints miniatures for over ten years never visited the GD because of money and motivation issues. He IS capable of paint very well and I took him to the expo in swiss last year and he was totally amazed. Maybe I will get him to GD this year- would be aweomse :D
ReplyDeletei want to go to the games day because....
ReplyDeletewell, im a monkey.
I started painting 3 years ago and i have been working my but off! Painting almost everyday, been winning some small competitions online and "the fang" this year in stockholm sweden, i am planing to go to GD for my first time and i like to try the challange to compete as well, it would really help if i got a free ticket, then i will go for shure.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!

I Hit the god damn comment !!
ReplyDeleteI deserve to win, because I only have 4 tickets! And that's an even number! :D
ReplyDeleteI was always a great fan of painting minis and the whole lore of warhammer.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the internet I was able to see the latest minis that were excellent painted.
Unfortunately at young age I couldn’t afford to buy minis but that didn’t discourage me to still be passionate about the hobby.
When time passed my skills grew and yet again the internet was ma greatest resource of knowledge to improve my skills and most things I learned from Your site and I still do.
Unfortunately my surrounding wasn’t interested in the hobby and even they laughed
about it. Then my other activities took from me more and more time and I spend less and less time to paint and convert minis. But I still read lots of articles and tutorials about it.
So far I worked as a instructor at a event agency, lifeguard, boatswain and even a manager at the Lifeguard team in Sopot where I had a 50 people crew to manage. All of the jobs gave me lots of special experience. Even that my family and friends said I really was good at what I did but I really wasn’t happy about what I was doing. And at one point I said to myself I want to do something I’m passionate about and not a job that other people say I should do.
I want to devote my life to miniature and airbrush painting. My passion for the hobby is my greatest strength .I always improve my skills and I never give up. One of my greatest talents is to improvise and be creative. Every day I have new ideas what to do.
I made my goals for this year to participate in 3 GD and Polish Hussar painting competition.
This will be my first event’s I will take part in and that’s why a GD ticket would be much helpful to help my journey in the miniature painting world

hi everyone!first, sorry for my poor english u.u . jejej ,well, i think that , everyone can be choose, but, I would like the choosen, because I have been painting for exposition arround a one year, and I want to demostrate my quality in a Golden demon like germany. only for this, and I would like this oportunity. thanks for all !
ReplyDeletebyyye!
I would love to go to a GD for once, and being in Turkey for the past 8 yrs has not afforded me the opportunity to go. That and I would love to meet up with more of the German painting scene to see what it really is to paint GW models over there.. thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou want to know why? Well, for starters, because I'm craving some frei fick, something I don't get anywhere but in GD Germany. Then, because katze matratze, and finally, because mein asche ist in Flammen. Instagram that joint if you please.
ReplyDelete@Rafael:
ReplyDeletenow how can you top that? ^^
Among other, financial issues have de-motivated me from getting my own ticket, while my good painting buddy does go. But I know I can perform quite good. Getting this ticket forces me to go, and thus forces me to push myself to make the very VERY best I can do now. Which is more about making less mistakes!
ReplyDeleteI paint since 2006~2007 (I don't remember), and I always wanted to improve my painting skills, I try to do my best when I paint a mini (not for Tabletop, but for contests (like the Painting Crusade)). And actually, I'm painting a unit for the french GD (2014, of course ^^), but only because Germany is too close (3 months to finish, hard ^^). But, if I can, I really want to participate at this GD because I think I can make it and perhaps win a bronze (Sweet dream).
ReplyDeleteJust a problem: I don't speak german, and my english is actually ... horrible ^^
Because I'd like to have an incentive to kick some ass with my painting.
ReplyDeletehere is why:
ReplyDeleteIf all goes well, I'm becoming a father around the end of this October. I envision that it will have an impact on my painting time. So after a couple of pins, some success at the painting Crusade in Brussels, the Fang in Amsterdam...having a go at a demon in Colonge would really make my last "unencumbered" painting year. I've got 2 really cool projects in my head and they start to apppear in bits and pieces on my painting table. So I'll be going anyway....winning a ticket just makes it more fun(everything is more fun if you can get in for free :-P)
Ciao!
ReplyDeleteWhy? WHY??
It's in all my stuff, if you can't see in each one Of my brushstroke...there was no reason to do it.
See you soon monkey...fabrizio
I bought the pink 'My Little Pony' Balloon Raffa was handed on stage after he won the sword last year. what more do you people want? XD
ReplyDeleteI already have my ticket, but if you gave me another I could enter twice xd
ReplyDeleteMassive Voodoo, gives me inspiration in times when i have lost it. Gamesday is the place to meet you guys and get more ideas.
ReplyDeleteHoping that my work will get me in the finals.
Thanks
I don't want to win cause i've got mine. I just hope to see you all at the mercury hotel like in the past year. It was one my favorite moment of my life of miniatures painters. I hope that there will be much more guys (because of the prise and the numbers of tickets)...see you soon
ReplyDeleteI want that ticket, cause i want to hear your ( romans ) 'UGA-UGA-UGA-UGA WU-WU-WU-WU-WU-WU' when somebody from the jungle crew wins a demon/slayersword like raffa did last year ... was the most awesome sound on the whole event :D
ReplyDeletetwo tickets would be much cooler so you could bring a buddy. but i am no one to complain.
ReplyDeleteit was back then when i was 11 years old. i had seen 40k long before, been building model planes since i was seven years.
but to get to those bling-bling 3rd, 4th and 5th generation fighter planes i had to pass a section of a shop. yeah you know what was sold there.
i never really knew what it was, but it looked dark, brutal, yet fascinating.
at age 11 i was at a party (with my parents of course, what were you thinking! 0_O ) and the son of my fathers friend hat some night gobbos + codex with him. i think i asked him a thousand questions.... nevermind, i was hooked.
next day me and a buddy (i could be very convincing, back then!) scraped together our last money (25 D-mark?), rode our bikes to the next town-bought the 40k painting set- and back (35km- we young apes were not to be beaten!)....
the rest is history.
kids, never try it! its so addicting you ll never get out. NEVER
my "stash" grew from five pots of paint to a mass of eqipment, im in serious fear it might break the ww1-era massive wooden table of my great-grandfather.
ok, that was the story after all, ive been painting since 15 years but have NEVER been to the GD. thats why i want to got there.
I like to go the GD so that I can complain
ReplyDelete- how much better things were back in the days
- how annoying all those screaming kiddies are
- what a mess GW made of all the things I loved and that got me started with little toy soldiers
and last but not least
- meet some old and new friends
- look at some serious painting skills
