    @Killer Angel : You're not working with Creative Assembly are you? They drop the Chaos Dwarf Total War DLC trailer a couple of days after your Chaos Dwarf story wins the SS contest!

    This is crearly their time to shine and rule.

    (but no, i'm not going to use "Chaos Dwarfs" as theme for the next comp, even if it would be funny and it would force you to painful choices. ;))

    A missed opportunity, but a sensible one I suppose. It would be unwise to share an advantage. :p

    Highlighted below are the short story writers that have incorporated Chaos Dwarfs (in one form or another, including their creations) into their stories. At least the ones that I can remember. There could be more of course, since I don't follow the competitions too closely.

    Not bad company to keep.

    Come to think of it, I believe that would actually spoil all of the fun. The whole point is to cheer on the Chaos Dwarf story over the non Chaos Dwarf stories. If they are all Chaos Dwarf stories, then how can we prove the supremacy of the Dawi-Zharr over the lesser races?!?

    You have a point. ;)

    Then it's settled, chaos dwarfs will have to sneak (or force their presence) into the contest.

    And all the opposing stories shall fall before the might of Hashut!
