Games Day 2013 - UK
Gorgeous gamers, cunning collectors, precious painters and hoopy hobbyists!

| David is the Goliath of Miniature Painting! |
Games Day 2013 UK is over. WOW, it was an event that we will be talking about for a while, I think. For many reasons.
Having traveled to GD US, GD Germany and now GD UK, it is time to finalize our popular mini-series about "The Future of Games Days and Games Workshop" - and I can tell you right now that the future will look different from what you may remember from Ye Olde Games Days of days gone by.
(Part 1 of that series is here, followed by six more walls of texts - and will be concluded this week, I think).
Sleep or else...
I just came back from GD a few hours ago and after sifting through, cropping and color-correcting 742 pictures, I am about to fall asleep at the PC.
Alas, I will now go and meet Ben, Matt and Katy (from Russian Alternative) for a drink or two :D For the greater good!

What would be a masterminis.net report without a chance of winning something?
Nothing! That's right!
So we give away a Games Day Only Marco Colombo miniature and not one, but TWO Painting Buddha T-Shirts to a total of three lucky winners!

I would have went to this year's german GD - but 50€ only for entrance is just much too much for me.
ReplyDeleteLots of cool things to see. I really enjoyed the seminars too.
ReplyDeleteGames Days are great!!! This year I didn't make it to GD US due to I was the process of buying a home. But there is next year!!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed meeting you hearing your views in the malt house after GW.
ReplyDeleteI went to the Games Day in Memphis, Tennessee this year. Drove six hours from Atlanta to my first ever Games Day. Unfortunately I didn't have anything to submit for the GD but it was pretty cool to see all of the really awesome work. It's pretty awesome to see the great works of art in pictures online, but a whole different experience to see the actual work in person.
ReplyDeletePerhaps next year I will have something to submit, I'll be working on improving my skills when I get my Painting Buddha Season 1 DVD!
I was gutted there was no kit bash area. The Forge World stand felt like it went on forever.
ReplyDeleteI think GD is great opportunity for people to meet each other. The best time of it is pre-GD party with are worth IMO more than games day itself.
ReplyDeleteI don't like golden demon because it have limited size for work 60x60x60cm my current work is bigger ;)

I enjoyed Games Day immensely last year in Chicago! I got some limited edition artwork, chatted briefly with my hero ADB, and of course saw some of the most brilliant minis ever!!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning. I have been to GD Germany once. i guess it was 2009. The thing which thrilled me most was the miniature competition. Without it it would have been less exciting to me. I think the Golden demon is a vey important event and it would be a pity if it was abandoned. I will not go to any event for the next year I gues because of a little girl of 2 weeks age.^^
ReplyDeleteBest regards,
Skyle
I'm stuck in the far reaches of the Wild West in Oregon, so I'm a long way from any Games Days, although I want to go to one some day.
ReplyDeleteMy main goal would be to see the Golden Daemon contestants. I know photos can't do a mini justice, so the chance to see fantastic minis would be enough to draw me in.

DeleteI´m agree with Nordgrot. Always is interesting to go to a GD, but this year the price of the entrance was excesive. I hope next year will hold more GD and I can attend one. Thanks for the report!
ReplyDeleteHey! Good to meet you this weekend =)

Not been to a GD for nearly 7 years now, price was always a issue , usually involves a overnight stay, big thing was the way GW as a whole operates. you hear plenty of folk bad mouthing the company but still wander to the GD in hopes of a demon .... i voted with my feet and found a world of better/cheaper miniatures out there..
ReplyDeleteCouldn't go to GD this year because it was too far for my wallet.
ReplyDeleteGW, bring back GD France and Spain please !
Some of those minis look really awesome!
ReplyDeleteI wish i were there to see them all.
Maybe next year ;)
Your games day series has gotten me excited about the hobby again, it seems that we are moving past the doom and gloom and into the future of hobby supported by blogs like yours. Lets hope GW jump on board!
ReplyDeleteI probably will not live to see that day :D
DeleteHey it was good to meet you at gamesday,sorry it was brief at the end of the day. would have taken my sentinel out the box and let you have a proper look at it but we had to catch our ride home. glad you liked it anyway. hopfully see you next year. keep up the good work. peter
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog, really enjoying it so far!
ReplyDeleteI didn't go to GD this year. I was umm'ing and arr'ing for a long time but decided to give it a miss in the end. Kinda glad I did, the last GD I went to was at the NIA back in '98 and it was an immense event, it's a real shame that the event seems to have taken a massive downward turn. Here's hoping someone from GW decides to actually go on the internet for once and reads all the feedback people have been giving on the event and they improve it in the future.
