Golden Demon, the legendary miniatures painting competition, brings together the very best display painters in the world. From time to time, White Dwarf takes it a step further and challenges the winners to a special event: The Golden Demon Winners Challenge. 

Last year, White Dwarf gave a selection of winners a set of Adepta Sororitas models and told them to create something amazing. Issue 463 includes the first set of results, and the winners will be announced in issue 464.

You definitely don’t want to miss the conclusion of the challenge in the next issue. In fact, it’s a safe bet to subscribe to White Dwarf for a year to make sure every issue is delivered straight to your door. 

If that was the only painting article in issue 463, it would still be well worth picking up. Never content to rest on their laurels, the good folks at White Dwarf have also included an ‘Eavy Metal Masterclass that will prove quite useful for improving your high-end painting skill set.

If you’ve never tried painting Non-Metallic Metals (NMM), this issue will bring you up to speed. In short, it’s a technique where you use non-metallic paints to simulate the way shiny metal looks in 2D paintings.

It may sound complicated, but this article breaks down how you can achieve this impressive technique. There’s no shortage of models that look great with NMM – might we suggest picking up the magnificent Sigvald, the Prince of Slaanesh to practice? 

If you haven’t already, you’ve still got time to pre-order White Dwarf 463 for these amazing articles and loads more.
