Ach, I'm going to have to withdraw, I had a lot of irl stuff come up and I'm not even fully done basecoating. Next time undead amigos

 

[Reapray]

No worries Comte de Monte Real - I'm already planning on running another Golden Bat in the New Year around February when everyone has their Christmas presents they want to paint!

Hello I’m a long time lurker trying to get involved in the golden bat but I’m getting the same message Amarell was getting above. Anyway I can be approved to send DMs? Thank you!

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Supahfly500 can you try now? Also don't forget you'll need to do an intro post in our Introduction section

It's been a long looonnnng time since we ran a Golden Bat competition, and I think now's the time resurrect this tradition!

If you've not seen them before you see the previous competitions and winners here! Whilst I need to see how many people are interested you can assume:

• Entries to be completed and posted by PM to Disciple of Nagash by end of Tues 28th October 2025 GMT. Please avoid posting your entry in painting logs if possible to so we can keep voting anonymous
  • You can have upto 3 pictures, but at least one must show your complete entry with all models if there are more than one model in the submission (see below for allowed entries) and bases. The other two can then show whatever you prefer, e.g. focusing on certain details models, etc. You cannot bypass this limit by trying to put smaller pictures in pictures!
• Any WHFB, TOW or AOS undead models can be entered which can be one of the following:
  • 1 character
  • 1 character on a mount of any kind
  • 1 monster sized creature / Chariot / Warmachine (including crew)
  • 1 spell model

      • If we get more entries / interest, further awards etc may be introduced
  • Converting
    • Awards currently depend on number of entrants, TBC
• You can enter any models not previously entered in a Golden Bat competition as it's been a while, so yes you can enter something painted a couple of years ago

If you interested please react to this post! Even better make reply and say hi!

Well, this is a bittersweet time to rise from the dead... My account was suspended for a long time, due to reasons, I guess. Decided to try and log back in today, only to see this thread! A little late to join, but at least I get to enjoy all the pretty pictures soon.

 

[Raven Torrid]

Great to have you back MedMos!
The forum was not working for a long time so I guess you're reffering to that, not sure why would you be suspended.

As for Golden Bat, this time the rules allow anything that hasn't been entered in past Golden Bats so do not hesitate to enter any of the work that you already have in a finished state! Still a few hours left.

I have absolutely no memory of what I've posted in the past competitions (as i suppose also "turning the world on darkness" is out)

 

[MedMos]

I guess that was the reason then, for some reason I kept getting a message that my account was suspended when trying to log in...

And thanks, I think I will join then! I hadn't read the rules thoroughly, as I was sure it would be to late.

TTWD entries are ok, only entries in past Golden Bats are off limits.
