Legio Bolter & Chainsword Roll of Honour One member of the Bolter & Chainsword community is going to win the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Onslaught boardgame. That member will also win the magnetized gold disc shown below. In addition, one or more members will each win a magnetized silver disc and one hook and loop patch shown below. The number of runners up (silver disk and patch) will depend upon the total number of entrants. All prizes will be shipped worldwide at no cost to the site/winners (i.e., I'm paying for shipping out of my own pocket). How to enter this contest: Assemble and paint 3 models representing members of the Legio Bolter & Chainsword. There are some requirements/restrictions, however: Models must have the ADEPTUS ASTARTES keyword. Legio members are all loyalist Adeptus Astartes. Models may not have the DEATHWATCH, GREY KNIGHTS, TERRAIN, or VEHICLE keywords. Models must be Warhammer 40,000/Kill Team scale (i.e., no Epic scale, no Inquisitor scale, no JoyToy, etc.). Models may be from any loyalist Adeptus Astartes Chapter except the Deathwatch and Grey Knights. 1+ model must be a regular Legio member (scout, battle-brother, veteran, sergeant, veteran sergeant) in the standard color scheme (black armour and red helmet are key). 0-1 model may be in parent Chapter colors, either as a pre-formation Delegatus-Herald (firstborn) or a prospectus (firstborn or Primaris). You can learn about the Delegatus-Heralds and Prospecti in the Index Astartes article. The models do not have to form a coherent squad. For example, you could submit one Tactical Marine, one Chaplain with jump pack, and one Terminator. The models do not have to represent the same character. The models do not have to be from the same Chapter. Models do not have to be game-legal (i.e., you may convert to your heart's desire to represent exotic weapons and wargear). You may also indicate that one of the models that you submit is also your Legio mini-me, representing your persona within the Legio. If you do so, please include the model's name and parent Chapter, as well as any other background information you desire. That model must otherwise conform to the guidance for Legio mini-me's as found here. If you include an eligible Legio mini-me in your submission, you will be awarded the Legio mini-me badge (if you have not already earned that badge). If you submit an eligible Legio mini-me model or have previously done so, you may also include an image of your Legio mini-me's honour shield. If you do so, you will be awarded the Legio Honour Shield badge (if you have not already earned that badge). It is recommended that you check out the Insignium Astartes: Legio to see examples of the basic color scheme and the flexibility allowed, and you might want to check out the Legio B&C minis that members have submitted over the years. If you have any questions about the Legio, either from an in-universe perspective or a real-world perspective, please ask them here. Each member is limited to 3 models (i.e., one submission). You can upload all submissions to the Legio Bolter and Chainsword category in the Gallery (you are free to create your own album); and if you desire to do so, you are invited to create a blog in the Legio Bolter & Chainsword category in the Blogs. Images of all submissions should also be posted in a reply in this topic before the deadline - please be sure to include the image(s) of all 3 models in a single post to make it easy for us to find all of them. The deadline to enter the contest is midnight CST on Saturday, January 31, 2026 (i.e., whenever I log in on the morning of Sunday, February 1. The staff will select the finalists. The total number will depend upon the total number of members entering. The members of the community will then vote for their favorites. The member with the most votes will win the grand prize (Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Onslaught game and the gold disc), and the runners up (number TBD) will each win the runners up prize (silver disc and patch). If you have any questions about this contest, please post them as replies in this discussion.
