Artisan’s Contest XL - Winners!


"Mountains will fall, seas will boil. Day will be as night…”


Presenting: The winners of the 40th Artisan’s Contest on Chaos Dwarfs Online!

As always, we had some epic interpretations among the entries, with submissions across all scales of Chaos Dwarf realms. Results were tight on this one, thanks to all who participated in the casting of votes!

And the winners are:

:batg4: 1st Place - Golden Gear Winner: Entry #2 - @StyrofoamKing
:batg3: 2nd Place - Silver Gear Winner: Entry #3 - @Reaver
:batg2: 3rd Place - Bronze Gear Winner: Entry #1 - @Lord_Aldades


The entry key!

01 @Lord_Aldades BRONZE

02 @StyrofoamKing GOLD

03 @Reaver SILVER


Medals will arrive shortly! Should you have earned a new Veteran’s Medal (gained at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 main contests entered), please contact @Reaver and link us all your entries in all previous Golden Hat and Artisan’s Contest competitions on both old and new CDO (note: Scribe’s Contest does not count towards this purpose, but does have its own Veteran Scribe’s Medal).

And now for the prizes, sponsored by @jasko !!

The monstrous gold prize goes to @StyrofoamKing for an entry on a massive scale, taking Artisan’s XL to heart, outfitting a whole table with Chaos Dwarf terrain.

The silver prize will be given to @Lord_Aldades for the creative encampment, with detail packed into a small scale.

And the random draw will get consumed by yours truly, the great and almighty Golden Hat, praise be unto Hashut. Surely this prize will be regurgitated to an upcoming contest, surely.

Whilst the charity of this community and the Golden Hat’s generosity has carried us this far, please reach out to @Reaver if you would like to donate a prize to a future contest. Prizes can be painted, unpainted, brand new, a derelict bitz hoard, or something not a miniature at all like dice, army books, or something else hobby/wargaming related.


A big hat off to everyone who participated and voted! That’s it for this round of Artisan’s Contest. Now let’s see the participants’ entries in the blogs and image galleries. :wink:

Next up, a celebratory Golden Hat Contest, kicking off a series of contests here on CDO, don’t miss it!

Thanks! LKM’s source files are really their greatest work. It’s a shame we don’t see more painted prints of the terrain, especially at full scale. So much fun to work with them!

Those terrain pieces fill such a crazily narrow niche that we so rarely even see them on here.

Very true! One piece came up painted today on discord which surprised me!

@MichaelX printed and painted the lizardmen stuff for CDOffline 2022. I’ve not seen anyone tackle a bigger project than that using the LkM terrain.
