Golden Demon: Classic Europe Categories
- Single Model – Any single miniature of roughly human-size. This category includes Warhammer 40,0000 Terminators, but other models supplied with 40mm and larger bases should be entered in the Monster category. Note that bike-mounted character models from Warhammer 40,000 must be entered in the Engine of War category. Models mounted on a horse or similar sized creature may be entered into this category. Models on a beast significantly larger than a horse (eg a Juggernaut or Grunta) must be entered into the Monster category. Single miniatures from Forge World’s Imperial Armour and Horus Heresy ranges may be entered in this category.
- Unit – This category is for a unit between three and ten models, each on a base no larger than 50mm in diameter. Models may be on foot, or mounted on nothing larger than a horse or a bike. Warhammer 40,000 units with an accompanying transport vehicle must be entered into the Unbound category. Note: units do not need to be ‘game legal’ in terms of the rules of the games system they are from.
- Engine of War – This category is open to engines of war such as Warhammer 40,000 vehicles, Warhammer Age of Sigmar War Machines (such as chariots, Steam Tanks and pieces of artillery) and siege engines from The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies™.
