Welcome to the Golden Gobbo painting competition. If you'd like to read some of the ancient history you can on the Realm of Chaos 80s blog.
This competition is held some years and you'll find threads here describing how to enter and when the competition is running (typically after BOYL each year).
Other than the fame and wonderment of your peers there is often a prize kindly donated and you'll have the wonder of being awarded badges for your profile here.

I don't know where my obsession with Jabberwocks came from all of a sudden, didn't care a few months ago. I think I need help. 🤣

Perhaps salvation is to get one or two...

Well I need the crawling sculpt and I want to convert a Ral Partha one to look more like the one in Terry Gilliam's movie, then there's the larger OSM sculpt, so there's 3 more in my future. 😊

Ok, I'll go with this little guy. I had to repair him and add some stones to the base because the feet & slotta were really warped
I'll do my best but I'm warning you: This may be too bright and colorful for your taste
.
(I'm sorry but my lack of proper shields made me do this -although it's technically a beastmen shield).

@Wilbur the Red, your entry is crying out for a shield with a bull's head symbol on it. Something suitably battered and stolen from the corpse of a Bretonnnian knight or similar, of course.

I'll see if I have any 5ed Knight shields anywhere with bulls heads on, chances are slim to none but I'll have a look just in case.

I can make that work using decals… maybe…

If you lack suitably shaped shields let me know, I've got various medieval shields all over the place.

Is he cloaked?
As Gerhart sounds like a Germanic name, I'll say mahlzeit to him and hope he understands me.

Hello there!
Sorry, kind of wild couple of days at work after I got approved! As @Wilbur the Red said, I learnt recently about the forum and Goldedn Gobbo because of him, so as an oldhammer enthusiast I just had to get in!
Currently debating which miniature to enter, though, as I have a couple that would work well...

I'm afraid that was the name I chose for a D&D paladin way back when I played, but I know next to nothing of GermanIs he cloaked?

A friend of mine gave me a while back most of his old world greenskins army, mainly orcs and goblins, though there were the occasional chaos
and dwarf miniatures. I´d say all of them are from 6th edition. And there's a never painted Grimgor Ironhide in there that is a fantastic sculpt.
But on the chaos side there's a Games Day miniature from 2002, Hrothgar Daemonaxe, also a fantastic sculpt, and is a bit outside of my comfort zone since I mostly paint orks as I'm building a Beastsnagga army for 40K.
