Introduction
Greetings traveller, welcome to this fabled arena of competition between hobbyists for glory and honour on the corner of the internet known as ‘The Bolter and Chainsword’.
This Bunker Bingo Challenge will follow The White Dwarf’s Bunker Bingo Card from 20th December 2025 to 20th December 2026.
The card illustrates what challenges hobbyists need to complete in either the painting or playing space to score points that will be totalled against the other hobbyists in the league to determine the victor.
To get a copy of the Bingo Card, check out the downloadable documents in the ‘Guide’ tab of the club.
The points score across both the gaming and painting cards will be treated as a single total score for each competitor.
How the league works
To participate, each player will need to post their ‘proofs’ of achievement for what they wish to submit on their Bingo Cards before the close of play each month, by sharing their goals and updates in the club’s “Pledges, Posts and Progress” tabs.
Before the cut off each month, refer me (Mini_Painting_Mike) to your posts and progress in the ‘Pledges, Posts and Progress tabs’ via a direct message to claim your points!
For mini painting, before/afters will do! For games, snap some pics!
For the precise cut off dates, ensure to check out the calendar tab in the calendar tab to make sure you don’t miss out!
On the first day of each month, I will then post the verified scores and scores in the “The League” section of the club for all to see.
Keep hold of your bingo cards and share them as you go in the posts!
Scoring
Each month a winner for the month will be called, in addition to the year-long league crowning a winner at the end.

Rules
Whatever you do for your bunker bingo must be content that is allowed on The Bolter and Chainsword forum (WH40K, Heresy etc., Necromunda, Kill team etc.
This league is being administered by me, @mini_painting_mike, and I will verify people's scorecards and points for each month's tally-up.
For a mini to count as 'painted' it must also be based to at least a basic standard.
The points for painting and playing will be combined into one score, but I will give bonus points to games played where the player's minis are fully painted (no unpainted minis on your side).
The league will run from the release of December 2025 White Dwarf, to the release of December 2026 White Dwarf, will all hobbying within that time frame counting for the league.
