I was recently chatting with @dancwart , a fellow Swedish artist, over on his Discord art channel, the Tea Water Paint Pot. More specifically, I was sharing the milestone of CDO creative hotbed influence reaching into a certain golden strategy game for the better.

I’ve been curious of what you guys are up to for some time
It’s just, looking into new communities takes… well time
So to give him and others an easy start, I threw the following list of links to image compilations his way:
It surely does!
Here are some links to handy compilations to get you started, all pictures (we’ve got vaults of writing as well, just say the word):
Chaos Dwarfs Through the Ages (official models with some brief descriptions, to give a sense of what we’ve worked out from): Chaos Dwarfs Through the Ages
Likewise, official Chaos Dwarf Artwork: https://discourse.chaos-dwarfs.com/t/gw-official-chaos-dwarf-artwork/548
Now the community fun begins!
Golden Hat Gallery. Contest gallery of all entries in this painting/converting contest: Golden Hat Gallery
Artisan’s Contest Gallery. Competition gallery for this more experimental contest: Artisan's Contest Gallery
Compilation of community Chaos Dwarf artworks: Compilation of Homebrew Chaos Dwarf Artwork & Concept Sketches
And an absolutely massive salvage thread I pulled together in 2017 (Damn Photobucket!) to save our thousands and thousands of modelling pictures. So many crazy homebrew creations here: Carven Images: A Decade of CDO in Pictures (2007-2017 A.D.)
This is just half of the iceberg. There’s lots and lots more!
Cheers
Now, to people interested in writing I’d also include the following two links to background & stories.
As to writing, check out this compilation, several stories of which are illustrated with their own artworks: [Archive] Chaos Dwarf Stories & Background Index [WHFB]
And the new background & story section, the new gems of which are yet to be updated into a clone of the above compilation: https://discourse.chaos-dwarfs.com/c/chaos-dwarf-discussion/background-stories-and-art-by-members/12
Copy-paste the link to this thread or this very link list and spread around to your heart’s content.
For the greater glory of Hashut and his slavish servants on CDO! ![]()
Of course, several of the links go to the threads on old CDO since the copied archive uploads on new CDO are still wonky. This is on the to-do list to sort out in future years. Please bear with it. Dwarven patience and perseverence will win through in the long run.
Cheers!
