Creating a Hobby Blog
What is a hobby blog?
This is the true lifeblood of Chaos Dwarfs Online and what has made up the bulk of our most memorable threads over the years. As a user of Chaos Dwarfs online we strongly encourage you start a hobby blog!
Hobby blogs are a space where you document the collection and growth of a Chaos Dwarf army. A blogger will show a journey of bare plastic, lead and resin all the way up to finishes painted and based beauty. Users encourage one another and give friendly feedback and advice.
This is a positive environment and hobbyists of all levels of experience are encouraged to do this. From beginners to grognards, we all have something to share and something to offer this community.
For those that grow their armies big enough and document this for all to see there are rewards in the form of badges, explained later on in this thread.
The typical thread title will look something like this:
[09-13-2007] Xander’s Uber Awesome Army Blog
It’s good blogging practice to say when the thread was last updated.
Please note also, that this section is for Chaos Dwarf armies only. Any other blogs cn be posted in the Off-Topic Showcase section.

The Archive
Discover the ancient history and heritage of CDO
The archive is a backup of hobby blogs, tactics, guides and more from the original Chaos Dwarfs Online forum, where users posted from 2007 up until 2019. This is an ever growing resource that daemonsmith @MichaelX is working hard to transfer over through the power of demonology, mass sacrifice and a decent understanding of software.
