Golden Pike IV
The purpose of Golden pike IV (http://dogsofwaronline.com/forum/showthr...p?tid=963) was to create a unit of 5 Duelists for your Dogs of War force. With 8 entries in this time around it was our most successful contest to date so congratulations to everyone who took the time and made a entry. Lets shoot for getting over 10 next time!

So who won then? Well that would be none other then: henerius from his cool Estalian themed entry.

Entry #4 By henerius


I will be adding his winning entry to the Golden Pike Hall of Fame galleries as well as awarding the Golden Pike- Gold Medal.

The participants are as follows:
Entry 1: Swissdictator
Entry 2: Someone2040
Entry 3: Sadirath
Entry 4: henerius
Entry 5: Squirrelfreak
Entry 6: Border Reiver
Entry 7: Uryens de Crux
Entry 8: furrie

As a result of 8 entries, all those who participated will get 8 gold ducats as well.

The Staff has been discussing the next contest and we will be announcing it shortly, namely as soon as I can make the banner for it which should (hopefully) be within the next few days.

If any of you read the Word of Hashut you know it seems to be impossible for me to ever get a ezine out on time. So with that said why should Gold and Glory be any different?

Thanks for all your patience folks as this one has been a bit of a haul for me with everything going on in my life. No excuse I know but as with many things it is what it is.

Inside this awesome issue you will find a wealth of great art, and articles and a great battle report to boot. There is an amazing amount of content so as I often say I wont ruin it for everyone.

I also want to thank the entire group that helped work on this, you can see all of the folks who contributed inside of the ezine itself.

Golden Pike IV
Well, well, well. Look at that our highest participation in a Golden Pike yet to date: this time 8 entries. If we could have gotten just two more entries we could have given out the Golden Pike Silver and Bronze... Ahh well lets just kick back and check out the cool models that we do have for this contest, shall we?

So without further delay here are the the entries in random and anonymous order.

Entry #1:



Entry #2:





Entry #3:



Entry #4:





Entry #5:



Entry #6:





Entry #7:


Entry #8:


Poll will run for 10 days and then close.

Once the poll is done the Golden Pike medal will be awarded to the winner. When we get more then 10 entries the Silver and Bronze will be awarded. So stay tuned for the next one.

All those who entered will receive 8 Golden Ducats as well for entering the contest.

In addition the winner will be placed in the Golden Pike Hall of Fame galleries which are now working, but need a bit of tweaking from my end.

So congrats and good luck to the entrants for this round and awesome work.

*NOTES
1. One entry does not use human figures for this contest; This is my fault as I did not specify to the contrary. Contests in the future will be clearer regarding this as to which race in such a mixed army as Dogs of War.

2. I did the best with the photos that I could. But please note that I am not responsible for how they look as I clean them up as much as I can. I mention this because it came up last time

Is there anybody here with a copy of Shadow of the Horned Rat who would like to help me out?
Even though i played it only last year i can't seem to get it to run again now.
Let me know if you are willing to help (won't take long) and i'll get in contact to let you know what i need.
Thanks

Its that time again, this time we are proud to bring you the Golden Pike IV Painting Contest as presented by http://www.dogsofwaronline.com

After the less then stellar turnout for Golden Pike III we the staff put our heads together to come up with something that almost anyone is going to use in their army: Duelists! C'mon who doesn't like these guys, here is a great chance to start on a

Subject Matter
Create and paint a unit of 5 Duelists for Golden Pike IV.

So what do we mean by this?
Create, modify, what have your duelists for submission for this Golden Pike. Again 5 shall be the number, no more no less, 6 is right out; 4 shall thou do only unless thou proceedeth to 5... (*Apologies to Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail").

Basing
As per the rules duelists must be on 20x20 mm bases. And note there should be 5.

Particulars, Deadline? and how to enter
Due Date: 11:59 PM May 31st, 2010 EDST (Eastern Daylight Savings Timezone)

Send all entries to the Goldenpike account (a special user that all Staff have access to). Again, no later then 11:59 PM May 31st, 2009 EDST (Eastern Daylight Savings Timezone). Entries will not be accepted after that date and time regardless of how cool your submission is. (This is around 10 weeks to complete your entry).

If for some reason you are having trouble with your submission, contact one of the Staff. In order to avoid problems, I "highly advise" that entrants do not wait until the very last minute to submit their entries...

Next, for tips on how to take great photos look here:

Photographing on a white background works wonders and makes my job easier too

If you win:
- Rightly take your place in the Golden Pike Hall of Fame, where your glory will be remembered for years to come.
- Receive the Golden Pike Medal for your online persona. If more then ten people enter the Silver and Bronze will be awarded as well.
- Everyone who enters gets a number of gold ducats equal to the number of entries. If 50 people enter we award 50 gold ducats to each person who entered.*

Good luck everyone, make us (the Staff) proud.
