As already announced by Games Workshop and us, the European leg of the well-known painting competition will once again take place at SPIEL Essen in October. To give participants as much time as possible to put together their entries, you can now find the conditions of participation for the Golden Demon SPIEL Essen 2025 on the website of Games Workshop and ours.
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.
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.
