Holy crap! Im floored!!! I actually got a "commended entry" for my Space Wolf Terminator!!!! I havent competed in painting since 2009! Thank you Oldendemon for putting on such a wonderful and fun competition. It was so amazing to see the guys I normally chat with on IG pop up as either commended, final or actual placing with their minis! I swear the Oldhammer community is filled with such wonderful and talented people!!! I was HONORED to compete with everyone this year and cannot wait for next years Oldendemon. This absolutely made my month (its been a crap month via the business I run due to manufacturing issues) and just wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@PsychicWarfareUnit thank you! im so glad i was able to do something so cool for everyone! i cannot wait to step up my game for next years Oldendemon! learned quite a few VERY important new things with this old lad... mainly that modern Citadel paints suck and ProAcryl is the formulation that i adored in 2000s Citadel paints! will definitely be bringing something way more gooder for my entry next year. i just hope whatever i submit gets as highly placed as my old Wolfy boi did! THIS literally made my entire month and i feel beyond blessed that i received a commended entry!!!!
Clearly this too was AI generated too as Olden Demon is clearly a 70 year old portly gent with gout sipping cherry, huffing cigars and hand painting lead.
Congratulations everyone! Beautiful work on that old gold. Super happy to receive a commended entry 🙌 thanks for running it big man. Can’t wait to do it again next year 🍻
Thanks ever so much to running this and congratulations to all the winners/finalists/commended/people who enjoyed it. Personally this is the first competition I've ever entered and I'm delighted to have placed in the top 139 in my category :)
Crazy skill on display, congratulations to all featured artists and especially the winners, thanks for running this! Is there a site featuring all the entries?
A ton of amazingly painted classic miniatures. It is also telling that Jess Goodwin sculpts are so prominent - never has there been a greater miniature designer! Congratulations to all who participated. Long live Oldhammer👏
"... a public toilet that gets low foot traffic..." 😄😄😄 6:16 the world-weary expression on that Ork is wonderful. What a great fun video and competition.
I don't want to be that guy, but I have to disagree. Everyone knows the greatest Warhammer miniature of all time is Old Nagash. The pinnacle of not just the sculptor's art, but art in general.
Congratulations to all the participants! I especially liked the orc in the second place. The dwarf on the list of the finalists by Anvil of Doom is also amazing!
I know a few things about packaging design and printing processes, you can make it more or less easily nowadays ordering a multicolor run of 3D printed frames, and the card is easily made by debossing or embossing, depending on the look you want, into a thick cardstock finished with a film layer.
I found your channel when you did a Cult of Paint interview. I was doing my Red Terror and Guardsman project at the time inspired by the 3rd edition Tyranid codex. I threw it in on the off chance. I hope you liked it! Can’t wait to enter next year!
great work all, respect from a box art/store model painter from back in the day! (I worked for GW in late 90's) Love all these new techniques folks use these days, especially on super old models I actually recognize!
I'm extatic to receive a commended and finalist! Truly among some legendary painters and don't feel worthy. Great video as well! Love the light comedy to keep it all fun ♥️
Quick note, the two Giants (one commended, one a finalist) have either had their positions or names mixed up. I know because I painted one of them, but my name is set against the other! Amazing set of minis and paint jobs! And love the tone of the video 😅
hahaha I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I've been hooked on your videos since the beginning but apparently I hadn't subbed. Was just quietly in the background binging on them. Please know that there's been one extra person on the other end of the internet that is loving your content. Keep them coming 😎
The Screamer-Killer staggered me. I thought it's either the most astounding reproduction of 90s 'Eavy Metal, or someone just submitted an actual clipping from an old White Dwarf! (I couldn't find _exactly_ that shot on a quick Google search, but i went as far as to try...)
@@SteveKfpv I mean... the colours inside it's mouth! ...and everywhere! Such an iconic model, such an iconic paint job. Your version fitted the nineties Tyranid receptors (NTRs) in my brain perfectly!
my word the standard this year was astonishing! congratulations this has become a real phenomenon in the hobby, could you please do a unit/regiment category next year?
The two 40k top models were both my first real attempts at fine painting, one offering me a first place at a convention. Watching this video has proven to me that if I ever ran into someone else who was as much like me as these painters, we'd jump up and down and both show off our models to one another and just talk and talk, and our wives would have to pull us apart and then we'd make each other mix tapes secretly
@@OldGrumpyWolf well you know physical telephone lines are a thing of the past now? Everything is now moving over to boardband only, thus to use an old phone like a rotary you need to plug it in to your router, which may require an adapter.
Congrats to the winners! You got it wrong though, Finalists is a lower award than commended at Golden Demon. I know, the naming suggests otherwise, but the commended are picked from the pool of finalists, and the top 3 are picked from the commended.
What do you mean, I was meant to use modern painting techniques!? Wash and dry brushing not good enough eh? Oh well I’ll SlapChop next year’s entry then. 😝Congratulations to all who took parts and especially those who made the Final Cut.
This is all amazing, and incredible how fast this one has taken off. But! I need only your VOICE man, and FUNNY PICTURES! Whoever you forced to stand in for you... like... nobody wants to see old men on the interwebs, amirite? Also: congrats to absolutely EVERYBODY entering, and the people shown off in particular - you all keep a proud tradition going. That is: making me cry. I will never paint a model as well. So good!

Wonderful painting. I don't play space wolves anymore but they were my first 40k army, so seeing these old models brought to life is a real joy.
That came out great!

There's something deeply disturbing about seeing olden demon man's real face rather than a bunch of AI-generated pics of dachshunds

Sorry
@@OldenDemon Great mug Mate!
@@OldenDemonit’s a good face !! You were cracking me up with your jokes
Handsome guy
That Valhallan with the meltagun is ridiculous, the work on the face is incredible
Totally Ferik Jurgen!

Amazing intensity.
So many amazing entries but that one should have taken it for me! Unbelievable.

Great work mate!
@@kharnifex thanks dude!
Congratulations on that man! 🍻
@@PsychicWarfareUnit thanks mate! 🍻
Your miniature is what I aspire to as a hobbyist and a collector of Dwarfs since 1989!!
I physically cannot believe that your voice has a body connected to it. This is a paid actor you’ve dubbed over.
I thought it would be worth ripping the bandage off and exposing myself to a select audience earlier rather than later
@@OldenDemon as Churchill once said “you’re not exposed until the pants are off”.
@@theylivewesleep.5139 should have gone for that onlyfans account

@@OldenDemon but you so pretty! lol ;)

Congrats to the winners! Super happy to sneak in a finalist spot. Thank you!
Pleased as punch to be commended. Feels good seeing the overall insane quality of the entries. Lovely stuff Chilvers, lovely stuff everybody. 🎉🎉🎉
"Looks like I'm the only game in town" - the just a bit too long evil grin at the camera had me break out into a nervous laugh
It was so good 😂
A ton of amazingly painted classic miniatures. It is also telling that Jess Goodwin sculpts are so prominent - never has there been a greater miniature designer!
Congratulations to all who participated. Long live Oldhammer👏
Well, that commended sure made my day! Thanks a lot for hosting such an amazing event Chilvers, and great work everyone!
Since instagram is so bad now, it would be great to see a TH-cam video slideshow of all the entries.
The Carnifex and Space Wolf models tickled my nostalgiatism ☺
wolfy lads are always best lads :)
Thank you and congrats to all involved.
Your models/paint jobs have tugged at my memories and I'm now lusting for the old days again.
Well done all 🫡
"... a public toilet that gets low foot traffic..." 😄😄😄
6:16 the world-weary expression on that Ork is wonderful.
What a great fun video and competition.
Thanks!
So glad my flasher dwarf made an appearance that is a win in my book
All amazing work! I'm just stoked my chaplain made the picture montage ! Looking forward to next year! Cheers to everyone!🍻🍻🍻
Joined the preview at 1:44 , and was terrified by his evil scheming grin.
Still terrified rewatching this
Stunning models, just stunning. I don't envy you having to judge them all to pick a winner!
Congratulations to all the winners, I was happy to have actually finished an entry in time this year! :)
All of them look fantastic. That vintage terminator is amazing
Congrats to everyone, my lil warlock sneaked in in the warlocks shot and that's already a win!
I don't want to be that guy, but I have to disagree. Everyone knows the greatest Warhammer miniature of all time is Old Nagash. The pinnacle of not just the sculptor's art, but art in general.
No no no... the first Magnus
Dude you look so much younger than I would have guessed from your voice.
That’s just the Botox
@@OldenDemon Never mind the Botox; here's the OldenDemon.
Congratulations to all the participants! I especially liked the orc in the second place. The dwarf on the list of the finalists by Anvil of Doom is also amazing!
7:59 Black Orc form James Southernwood would of been my fantasy winner.
Agree that was an amazing paint job
Huge surprise to see it’s you! Love your channel and thought the voice sounded familiar. We did a blackadder play together once.
We did so much together, so much
Once again, some awesome paint on awesome miniatures! Congratulations to all participants!
The Mark Corrigan of Mini painting
Nice! Eldar warlock is my favourite mini too. That terminator though! Wow good stuff.
beautiful entries, congrats to the winners!

I'll never paint to that quality but I love painting the old minis all the same. So much more character

dude, you killed it this year with your punk rock squig and that old screamy boi!!! :D
Congrats to all the winners, finalists and Commended entries! But the real winner has to be this top tier video 👏😂 can't wait for #OldenDemon2025
Quick note, the two Giants (one commended, one a finalist) have either had their positions or names mixed up. I know because I painted one of them, but my name is set against the other!
Amazing set of minis and paint jobs! And love the tone of the video 😅

thanks a bunch for organising all of this! i hope i will find the time to participate next year. cheers from germany

(I couldn't find _exactly_ that shot on a quick Google search, but i went as far as to try...)
Thanks! It was mine 😄 I worked pretty hard to pose it identically to the model from the codex and take the photo as the same angle

Ha, first time I've seen your face. Always a surreal experience.
Thanks to all the participant you brought me back 20th in time, maybe 30… with today’s advanced techniques. Unbelievable I wish I had your skills.
Wow, some amazing paint jobs in this on the minis I grew up with.
my word the standard this year was astonishing! congratulations this has become a real phenomenon in the hobby, could you please do a unit/regiment category next year?
My favourite sculpt from those days is the Eldar Warlock with the Antlered helm and the Singing Spear.
Holy… !!! I am blown away! My brain seriously just exploded. 😅 This was an amazing video. I will watch this video approximately 12.3 more times!!
I love this contest, great work! Congrats!
What an outstanding quality of competition!
Thanks and congrats to all participants!

White Dwarf 122! My first one.
Congrats to everyone, some superb paint jobs! 👏❤️
Beautiful minis, totally bizarre pedantry on the bases, random irreverent references, this comp has got it all! Woot
I’m really surprised that Rotary phone works, since they now require a broadband adapter
lol right?!
@@OldGrumpyWolf well you know physical telephone lines are a thing of the past now? Everything is now moving over to boardband only, thus to use an old phone like a rotary you need to plug it in to your router, which may require an adapter.
That Deathwing model is a thing of beauty.
My personal favourite was the fire dragon. Absolutely stunning
Definitely would like to enter next year. Best start now with how long it takes for me to paint lol
Being the same nationality as NRMpainting is great!
Football? Bah!
Mini Painting! Yes!
Congrats to the winners! You got it wrong though, Finalists is a lower award than commended at Golden Demon. I know, the naming suggests otherwise, but the commended are picked from the pool of finalists, and the top 3 are picked from the commended.
Do you think I can just style it out and pretend I meant to do it this way?
please make even MORE videos, I love your channel so much man
What do you mean, I was meant to use modern painting techniques!? Wash and dry brushing not good enough eh? Oh well I’ll SlapChop next year’s entry then. 😝Congratulations to all who took parts and especially those who made the Final Cut.
Is the sorcerer in terminator armor old enough for oldhammer?
@@Jeeg_Gamer_of_steel if it was released before 2000 it’s ok
@@OldenDemon 4th ed, 2005. So close!
This is all amazing, and incredible how fast this one has taken off.
But!
I need only your VOICE man, and FUNNY PICTURES! Whoever you forced to stand in for you... like... nobody wants to see old men on the interwebs, amirite?
Also: congrats to absolutely EVERYBODY entering, and the people shown off in particular - you all keep a proud tradition going. That is: making me cry. I will never paint a model as well. So good!
Worth noting that in GD the finalists are below commended and more of them. Commended is below a demon and just a hand full. Then are the top 3.
damn. I'm so long out of touch with Warhammer (not wargaming) that half of the models are new to me. Beautiful work!
I really love the old minis. They had such a panache to the.
That Bretonnian footknight is spectacular
Eldar warlocks have always had brilliant models. even today they look great.
That Eldar Warlock. I had that as a kid... and I'm sad I lost it.
I think a mix of both seeing your face and the AI doggos is the way to go.
Will you make a video slideshow of all the entries? Pretty please.
I love these warlocks I have a bunch of em, had I known this was happening I'd have probably entered with one lol
What is that “Compendium” book next to the Blanche book?
It’s a Kickstarter book on a huge amount of Golden Demon winners over the years
Nice, I have seen at least 5 models in this video that I own. Unfortunately my painting skills are also from the 90's
The greatest Warhammer mini of all time is skull clown hat classic Nagash with the bone jowls. Truly epic.
Hang on, one of your Ko-fi patrons is Johan Pilestedt? The Arrowhead Games ceo? That's pretty damn cool.
The David Mitchell of minature painting 👍
I'd watch a documentary series about this guy doing ross kemp-esque adventures in the dark underbelly of tabrltop gaming
What are the books in the background? Particularly the HobGoblin one
Hobgoblin is a rank and flank wargame I picked up at UKGE
Best vid yet, with extra facial expression !
'As clean as my browsing history...' 😂
that phone made me jump out of my seat
Well at least my mini got a cameo on the beginning maybe a didn't get mention for nothing but at least i participated
I like the space wolf blood claw
This was a brilliant and hilarious video. Thanks.
Congratulations Saverio, for next year I hope you win and the prize will be your last name pronounced it correctly 😂
PERSONALLY i would have picked the lamenters captain to be in the top 3
Thanks again for organising this, the standard is getting out of hand.
i thought it was finalist pin, then commended card then demon trophy??
Great video, but not enough Corgis...
Ops I forgot to submit my mini 😅😂
The lack of completed bases should have DQ'd the two 2nd place entries
😂👌❤️ love the intro
deathwing terminator gets a base pass because space hulk vibes are as old as goblin green
Johan Pilestedt in your Gold Tier ko-fi members! Helldivers never die!
