Talk:Golden Demon

Photo request

Please add photos!

Also, this article is too small, and needs more content and general cleanup. tag added.

Edited this article to reflect that the Golden Demon is not only the name of the award itself, but also and primarily, the name of the competition itself, as well as expanding details about the competition. Most of this information is taken from the Games Workshop website, and directly relates to the 2006 competition. As a note of irony, I find it interesting that the top accolade is not a Golden Demon award at all, but a full sized broadsword.

I've done a bit of clean-up. I don't know if we're allowed to use the photos from the GW site or not, so I didn't include any.JediLofty 09:23, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Moved to "Golden Daemon"

In all official publications I have ever read the competition is called "Golden Daemon", not "Golden Demon". I have also edited the spelling throughout the article to reflect this change.

Incorrect. The event has never been known as Golden Daemon. It has always been spelt Demon and still is. See []. Whilst Games Workshop use the archaic spelling specifically to identify the creatures of Chaos in their created backgrounds, this does not extend to this event. It is a general demon. I have corrected all spellings, but this requires moving back again which I'm unable to do. - Heavens To Betsy 09:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Merger discussion

As an event exclusively held at Games Day, I believe the two articles should be merged. This would allow a fuller article, consolidate references, etc. and I think the quality could be improved because of it. Turlo Lomon 03:23, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

• Support - the two articles individually are not that much larger than stubs. Merging them would allow for a more rounded article and, as Turlo Lomon points out, the two are closely linked. -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 13:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

• Against - I know that in some countries, or at least Australia, the Golden Demon competition is run separately to Games Day. Both are GW events, but Golden Demon is held in GW hobby centres, while Games Day is held at an independant location in the city of Sydney (and possibly others too). -- Seanzala ^Talk 01:28, 12 October 2007 (AEST)

• Against, just - Although there is not a huge amount of encyclopedic infomation to be had from both topics, I would lean towards keeping seperate articles for the regional differences, and also the whole WP:NOTPAPER thing. Would also state I feel Golden Demon might have trouble passing notability on it's own, but this is not the current question. Raerth 13:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Scrap Demon?

Hello dear Wikinauts,

First time writing something on Wikipedia! :D I would like to suggest to add a paragraph about the Scrap Demon which was a Trophy that was awarded during Games Days as a separate competition. The Rules were pretty much the same (create any Miniature from a huge pile of Plastic bits in 20 Minutes during the Event, one was chosen to receive a special Trophy that looked like a bitzed together Golden Demon). That was an official Trophy made and cast in Resin by Games Workshop. I know that since I happen to have won mine at the French Golden Demon in 2008, I can also provide some Pictures of the Trophy, if needed.

Oh yeah, I found an Image of it here: https://gamesworkshop.fandom.com/wiki/Scrap_Demon MattCexwish (talk) 22:03, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi Max, this is Albert, I wrote this article. The Scrap Demon was awarded at Games Day but it was a separate competition that had nothing to do with Golden Demon. This article is strictly about Golden Demon, so I'm not planning to include the Scrap Demon. Albert Moreto Font (talk) 09:59, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, Alfred. :D Following the logic of the Article that also lists the Youngbloods and the Forge World Best Of Show it would have been nice to include the Scrap Demon as well, especially since it had it´s own Statue that was modeled after the Golden Demon Statue. 2A02:A311:A2CA:4600:92C:F602:D851:9DD3 (talk) 13:44, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Issues with the sources

This article at present has two serious issues with the sources:
1) Cited to non-identifiable entities that don't follow standard templates. What is "Fantasy Miniatures 2002"? Is this a book, magazine, podcast? I can guess that "WD110" means the 110th issue of White Dwarf magazine, but not every reader necessarily can, and it's missing normal citation info like month/year for a magazine.
2) Apart from the (un-identifiable) "Dice Men" and "Fantasy Miniatures 2002", every other citation is to a GW publication (white dwarf, golden demon entry guidelines, citadel journal, games day booklets).
I think both of these issues should be solveable. For the easily identified sources, someone with the time could just go through them and stick them in a standard template. For the harder-to-identify sources, maybe whoever originally added them could add the info? Some potential non-GW sources include these three pieces in polygon magazine: https://www.polygon.com/23013303/warhammer-golden-demon-2022-adepticon-photo-essay/, https://www.polygon.com/23664838/warhammer-40k-golden-demon-america-adepticon-2023/, https://www.polygon.com/gaming/555641/golden-demon-2025-how-to-compete/. ~2025-36655-92 (talk) 19:26, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
