english translation:
Golden Demon ITaly, the rules:
The GD is a competition consisting of three parts - Golden Demon, Open Category and Youngblood Category
GD (open for all/everyone): 11 categories, 33 demons - gold/silver/bronce
Open (open for all/everyone): 3 Sanguinius - g/s/b
Youngblood (for under 15 year old people): 3 Goblins - g/s/b
the 5 "golden rules" for entering the GD:
1. all non-scratchbuilt parts have to be either produced by GW, Citadel, MArauder or Forgeworld, or else the model is will be disqualified
2. models placed on a different base than usual are none the less placed into the category they are meant for, e.g.: A Terminator that is standing on a base bigger than 25mm is always a "single mini" (category 1). On the other hand the mounted Archaon will always go to "monster category" even if placed on a smaller base.
3. if there are different opinions about the category a model should be placed into the jury reserves the right to make the final decission
4. It'S not allowed to base your entries on a movie (Except LotR) or the like, e.g. it is not possible to enter a self-sculpt Tomb Raider mini
5. it is not allowed to enter models that have already placed in an italian GD (note by Trov: Still it's lame if you enter a mini in germany, win something and then enter it again in italy - *looks at a certain french painter*)
5 rules you have to follow to win anything:
1. Painting is rated higher than conversions and dimensions (alright...?!)
2. The model has to fit into the GW Universe and must not be off of movies, comics or the like, not by GW.
3. Models that you cannot find in the catalogue must be scratchbuilt.
4. You must not combine Citadel miniature-parts with LotR miniature-parts
5. The base of a model has to be correct e.g. 20 or 25mm for single mini fantasy (Ahum ok...)
to enter the GD you need a ticket, no matter how many entries you bring along. Note that you can only enter one mini per category. (shit, I can throw my squad away then..?!
)
You can buy the ticket in GW stores in italy, rogue trades or mail order (it.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.it) - LAst year you could buy tickets at the competition as well, Mormedil says he will check.
with the ticket (the mini?) you have to provide the "entrance paper" you can find here:
