Multiple Golden Demon Winner and 1995 Overall Golden Demons Slayer Winner

The myth behind the Award, The Man behind the Myth.

People ask why I don't call myself a Slayer Sword Winner? The answer is.. I didn't win a coveted Slayer Sword, I won something even better.. The Slayer Plaque!

A plaque? you ask? Yup a plaque. In 1995 which was my second year competing in the Golden Demons in Baltimore, I was awarded a Gold first place award for my Warhammer Fantasy large monster entry, a Empire Gray Wizard on a Hippogriff. It was that model which won me the Coveted Overall Slayer award. In 1995 GW US decided to not award a sword, but..the Plaque. I'm not sure what exactly it's made of, But I know its quite heavy and it is Silver plated. It even has a cool Space Wolf theme.

Today it hangs proudly on my wall in my painting room.

Here it is, the plaque in all its glory!
