STUMPY
The first Dawi to reach the top of the Ziggurat is @Stumpy . A newcomer to the darklands, he has sprinted up the great granite stairs while his rivals fell to their doom. He now roars his battlecry over the city of Zharr Naggrund for all to hear.
A very recent joiner to the community whose positivity, encouragement and engagement has already marked him for greatness. His writings and artwork have already wowed the userbase here. Also, he lives on a giant volcano, which is the most Chaos Dwarf thing anyone can do! Thankyou for everything you add to the community here Charlie . We look forward to your contributions for years to come!

BESSRON
The second Dawi to reach the peak is @Bessron , in the most hotly contended category of the year. The winner of this prize fluctuated between many Dawi over the weeks, but Bessron’s blade is slick with the blood of his rivals! He now stands victorious and surveys the darklands from this mighty position.
Bessron’s blog, “Small steps to a Chaos Dwarf Army”, has wowed newcomers and veterans alike. The colour scheme, the mix of old and new and the generally unique approach towards Dawi Zharr has been a breath of fresh pyroclastic flow in the dark lands!
We have all been blown away by what has been created so far and we wait in anticipation for what has yet to come! Congratulations Alexander!

MICHAELX
The third Dawi to claw his way to the top does so with the aid of a daemon engine that he has designed and programmed himself. With ease, @MichaelX 's contraption swipes away the competition and, hissing steam, it now stands before us, mighty and victorious.
Michael has been voted as the “above and beyond” winner against some close competition. His work on Zines and Podcasts has been of a massive service to this community as well as his diligent support of those getting into 3D printing. Michael also completed the utterly herculean task of completing the email campaign to welcome back old/inactive members to the new software and the creation of the archive of the original forum on the new one. It is believed that this was mostly achieved by hurriedly typing on a keyboard, in a darkened room, while wearing shades. (That’s hacking right?) Well done and thankyou for everything Michael.

REAVER
The fourth victor now pulls himself up to the top of the Ziggurat, sustained on a diet of sandy eggs and licked brushes. @Reaver , an artisan among artisans now stands alongside the other victors, and raises his pole-axe to the sky!
Reaver’s blog is, according to the stats, the most viewed hobby blog on this website. Plunder for the Ironclad fleet has attracted newcomers to the website and kept veterans inspired and entertained on both the old and new forum alike. This blog is well maintained, regularly updated and many of us have sought to emulate this style in recent months. However the real reason why the blog stands out is because of the impressive level of hobby contained within. Inspirational, at a professional standard and creative in the extreme, the work within this blog is the stuff that CDO legends are made of. Congratulations Jared, well deserved.
And to all others: Witness the Reavers of Uzkulak; tremble before the might of the Ironclad Fleet!

ADMIRAL
The four assembled Dawi look about them in confusion. Where is the fifth? Lightning strikes. The flash reveals, for a moment, a grim and foreboding statue. A mighty sorcerer prophet, as ancient as time itself, stands before them. An malign intelligence burns below the surface of his unmoving eyes. @Admiral was here. He was always here…
Admiral is a dedicated and hard working member of this forum whose passion and positivity knows no bounds. In the days of slow decay during the end of the life cycle of the old forum, he and a few others lead a rearguard action to keep the community alive, through competitions and keeping content updated and relevant. Through his company, Admiralty Miniatures, many of us learned of the websites existence and through his work in many corners of the internet he continuously spreads the word of CDO far and wide. Admiral is also the archivist of the group with a memory that connects the old forum and the new. He is able to point new users in the direction of resources created by previous contributors and ensure that the cycle of teaching and learning creative skills on the website continues. All who enjoy engaging with this community owe a debt of gratitude to @Admiral and perhaps in our voting, we have attempted to show this. Congratulations Matte!
