Subject Matter: Armies of Infamy
This contest is intended for miniature based entries but is fairly open format so that entrants can complete nearly any model(s) or proxies to use in future games of The Old World or any other system of their choosing.
This time around we want you to sculpt, kitbash, paint, and/or convert miniature(s), a unit, or diorama which in some way features your own personal spin on Chaos Dwarfs. Entries may be something non-traditional in Chaos Dwarf or Hobgoblin lists or your own unique spin on an established classic. Think Bear cavalry or Chaos Halflings.
You might find inspiration in a new theme or sub-faction of Chaos Dwarfs. Not all of our brethren wear big hats and tote blunderbusses. Explore some other outer gods or fragments of Hashut that spawned in other regions of the Old World… cough Walhut cough. Or maybe even Chaos Dwarfs in the service of the other mainstream Chaos gods. Here at hipster dwarfs online we accept many alternative themes even if they are ripped from your last slam poetry event or Ska band album art.
Maybe you’re outraged at the omission of the K’daai Destroyer and are about ready to take up your pointed stick and march to Nottingham. Instead, why not channel that creative keyboard commando energy into a fun kitbash you can proxy into casual gaming. Who knew that iconic scene from the Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs trailer was Astragoth putting the final nail in the destroyer coffin. Alas, for literal decades, CDO has not backed down in the face of these slights, but instead has a thoroughly archived history of thriving on community creativity.
Or you could come up with anything else entirely, as long as it relates to Chaotic Dwarf things or Hashut/Chaos-aligned miniatures. With so many folks preparing for The Old World, another way to frame this contest would be: What’s something Chaos Dwarfy I’d like to see get some attention in The Old World. This is a relatively open format so hopefully folks can pick up and finish a project to get painted miniatures to the table. There are no quantity restrictions so enter as much or as little as you would like. Let your imagination run wild and be welcome to surprise us all with weird interpretations!

- Receive the Artisan’s Contest medal for your online persona.
- Win miniatures! See above for details.
Once all entries are received a thread will be created for voting and determining the winners!
If there are any general questions it is best post them here so that everyone can benefit from any details or clarifications that may arise. If you have a question on whether or not your specific entry fits. The answer is probably yes, it fits… but feel free to reach out to @Reaver if you have further questions.
Should you wish to donate a prize to this or future contests, please PM @Reaver and he will sort it out with you and the Staff. Note that prizes do not need to be exclusively miniatures.
Good luck everyone!
The Staff
