Topic: CDO: Golden Hat Gallery

[Karak Norn Clansman]

As part of Chaos Dwarfs Online's ongoing restoration, we have setp up a new gallery for all our Golden Hat contest entries. Huge thanks to Jasko for salvaging all pictures, and to cornixt for compiling the index!

Just as this thread deals with the evolution of Chaos Dwarf concepts in official miniatures, these Golden Hat entries provide a glimpse in chronological order of  the massive homebrew developments that have catapulted Chaos Dwarf concepts during the last decade. I wanted to share it with you to inspire others.

Check it out below!

A huge gallery!

And a very mixed bag of converting and painting. Though some of it is outstandingly innovative and good.

-Z

[GamesPoet]

Wow, so much creativity here, it is stunning. 

[Warlord]

I thought I entered the first competition with this:



Nothing special, just a regular Blackfire Pass dwarf conversion, but yeah...

[Karak Norn Clansman]

How odd! Did it disappear somehow along the line? Do you recall seeing it in the entries in the voting thread? 2007 was way before my time on CDO, but I can add you back in now.

What's your CDO account name? Warlord as well?

I like the Dwarf conversion! Simple, but good aesthetic degree of Chaos in it.

[Warlord]

It was Warlord on CDO way back then too. Not sure if the account still exists.
I think it was a different forum version too.
It's all good, its a long time ago and it might have gotten lost.
I am pretty sure I entered the competition, and I think Patsy did too.

Regardless, that was my conversion 

[Karak Norn Clansman]

Roger that! Could it have been a contest on Hand of Hashut instead of CDO, by any chance?

[Warlord]

Honestly not sure. I dont think so. I do wonder if my Warlord account still exists over there. I do remember they had to do a forum migration at a point. Or maybe I was a slightly different username. I would need to check into the past to find out!

[Karak Norn Clansman]

You're still there: http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/search.php?action=finduser&uid=129

I swear I've seen your conversion somewhere on the forum during 2017's arduous image salvage. It looks really familiar.

[Warlord]

That's definitely me.

The very first post, I mention a bone cage I was going to convert, but never got around to.

And the posts are from 2007/2008 so it fits close to the timeline. The competition is what got me motivated to join their forum in the first place I believe. Maybe I missed the deadline.

Don't stress over over it KVN!

Here is my thread of pictures, over at the CDO site:
http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3263

I guess that's where you saw it. Perhaps I didn't enter it into the competition afterall!

That is still pretty much all the CD pictures i have.
I once had a Lord on Bull Taurus painted up, but I never photographed it, and it has since fallen into disrepair.

[Karak Norn Clansman]

Ah yes, you're the one with the cool masked Bull Centaur conversion! Simple, but one of my favourites from the early years of CDO.

Count me as a fan.
