The Golden Warriors started out with Fingolfin and Bonmast on our original game: Command and Conquer Renegade. They decided to create a clan and the name "Golden Warriors" was the chosen title with the prefix "109th" hence the original clan tag [109thGW]. The first few months for the clan bore little success but steadily as Fingolfin and Bonmast became skilled players they gained a large roster and gained a reputation. When the clan became established we started playing clanwars and challenged the top clans at the time which were AoA and BA, although loosing most of our early matches we gained respect and decided to join the ESL 3on3 ladder. With immediate success in the league the clan soon took the top spot and defeated the top teams in the league such as TMW and Fusion. With a reputation as the top 3on3 team on the game we turned out attention to larger clanwars and sought wars with the 6on6 clans like OZ, NE and Gse. Again the Golden Warriors proved their metal and met challenges from the top clans with gusto. After dominating the game at its peak for two years a group of the members decided to create their own clan and Fingolfin decided to close the Renegade section. Looking back on his Renegade career Fingolfin made the following observations:

"Renegade was a brilliant game, other fps games may have had better graphics but what really set Renegade apart was the gameplay and the need for teamwork and co-operation. The clanwars were great, especially 8on8's which were frantic and hard as hell to run. Although GW had few outstanding 1on1 players we were all exceptional team gamers and that's what set us apart, our co-ordination and teamwork were spot on which shows in our clanwar record"

The clans records were numerous. Competing in over 50 ESL wars and topping the ESL 3on3 ladder on three separate occasions GW were the most successful team for 2 years. With a clanwar record of 249/209/43 the clan was arguably one of the best with only Gse having a better record. Although there are still clans playing the game, Fingolfin and other old GW members believe that the game has past its limelight and the clan has achieved everything it can.

After a period of inactivity Fingolfin decided that the Golden Warriors should arise on another game but the trouble was; which? At the time Fingolfin was interested in Warhammer 40k and his friend Sean (GW|Chaplain) suggested Dawn of War for a clan game. Again as with Renegade the first days were rocky and while Fingolfin and Chaplain Improved the clan went unnoticed. After a while more members joined and the clan soon started playing clanwars and building its reputation. With Fingolfin getting on the top 100 1on1 ladder and our members beating the top players the clan grew. Our teamwork was smooth and our tactics helped win many games. With a clanwar record of 15/13/2 the clan had a steady flow and although not as many wars as Renegade, still a good show of skill. With the arrival of the new expansion pack: Winter Assault several members left to move onto this game.

Fingolfin and the core members stayed on DoW for a while and eventually came to Winter Assault. After getting used to the new style of play and different tech system the clan soon became a skilled unit. With the addition of already skilled players such as Panic and Attack (Formerly of DW), Tek (a great freelancer) and Dharka (formerly qwerty of WK) the clan had a formidable line-up. As before Fingolfin was anxious to play clanwars and soon the clan were playing such clans as WA and BBF and finished on Winter Assault with a record of 5/5/0. Not as many clanwars as DoW but a perfect record which could have been better if relic decided not to release Dark Crusade...

The 2nd expansion saw immediate success for the Golden Warriors and the roster was was full with players who had experience and skill. Dark Crusade saw a totally new tech system and a different approach to the game, the members adapted well and played several clanwars straight away. With a yearning for something extra the clan signed up once again to the ESL league; This time joining the 2on2 Dark Crusade ladder. With a top league position of 2nd the Warriors are boasting a successful team and with a already large clanwar record the team looks to take the ESL success further. As the clan became more skilled out attentions turned to the competitive ladders provided by relic through auto matches and Tek, Fingolfin, Dharka and Jamerson have all been in the top 10 on the 2on2 ladder. As Dark Crusade flourishes so does the clan, and currently the Golden Warriors are holding strong.

2008 brought the third and final expansion to the Dawn of War series; Soulstorm. The Golden Warriors immediately took to this new expansion with vigour and a great attitude. All members of the Dark Crusade roster brought the game and moved over to carry on the GW name. Currently training up and getting used to the game, little can be said as to the sections success; only time will tell.

Clan History -Call of Duty 4

The Golden Warriors being a multi gaming clan decided to take on another game, but what?
There were many great games out there too choose from that could of been selected however, it was Call of Duty 4 that took pole position in the polls and thus the Golden Warriors would soon be kitting themselves out for Modern Warfare.
The Golden Warriors needed a good, strong base for their first foray out onto the battle field and someone who could train and lead a team effectively with the aim to take the ESL leagues by storm. They needed someone with experience in first person shooters and someone they could trust and knew would be exactly what they needed.
An old player of Renegade was contacted and sure enough he took the position as the Leader of the Call of Duty 4 section for the Golden Warriors and too this day GW|Deathtrap still runs it like a well oiled machine.

GW|Deathtrap however had the task set before him now, to build up a Golden Warrior army that he could be proud of and quickly set about asking all the people he could find to sign up for the Golden Warriors latest endeavour.
In that he found two players, GW|w0nn4pl4y and GW|rAUNCH whilst Fingolfin enlisted the help of GW|Tanith. Of the first four members of the original squad only one remains, as GW|w0nn4pl4y and GW|rAUNCH were both ejected from the clan for two varying reasons.
However as the days went on, GW|Deathtrap and GW|Tanith formed a solid team together and Tanith soon became the Co-leader for the section. With no other players with them, the pair had time to practice their team skills and both names have become symbols of fear on several servers. Even to the point where they would slander their achievements with degrading comments like hackers, however being Golden Warriors the pair are above such things. The GW CoD4 section has now begun to flourish, with Tanith enlisting the help of GW|Blunty and Deathtrap enlisting GW|War_Machine. The Golden Warriors now feel that they have a solid beginning to their efforts.

Both Deathtrap and Tanith run the training session, which have so far been going well and all players involved showing great improvements in both teamwork and skills.
The Golden Warrior CoD4 section is looking out to be one of worth and showing a lot of promise.

GW|Deathtrap and GW|Tanith have entered themselves into the ESL with the aim of taking on the 2vs2 Search and Destroy leagues.
What they will achieve will be down to hard work and skill, however the Golden Warriors are not ones for backing down and will raise to the challenge. After success in the Clanbase 5on5 ladder, the CoD4 section eventually closed down due to management problems and lack of commitment, although short lived, the section prospered well and continued the GW name.
