Dwango Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 @Dr_Ruminahui thanks buddy. I have more to do as I have a 3k list. I think I'll be doing some wardogs and a knight next. Already part painted so no good for here. Ah my main pledge was in the xenos forum so that's where my terrain went I'm afraid. Would Azrakh the annihilator count towards the lord event? He's named but not a 'famous one' as it were. gaurdian31 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379216-call-to-arms-chaos-stronghold/page/13/#findComment-5990901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the blessing of the powers that be (aka Grotsmasha) I'm holding an unofficial sub-competition within the Call to Arms 2023! What is it? The Lordiest Lord Called to Arms in 2023! No really, what is it? I'll be holding a vote of all the Chaos Lord entries made as part of this year's Call to Arms. May the lordiest Lord win! How do I enter? You paint a chaos lord as part of Call to Arms 2023, all of them are entered unless you tell me you don't want your Lord to be. What is a Chaos Lord? The Chaos Lord and Chaos Terminator Lord entries from the Chaos Space Marines Index. In practical terms, its probably anything you entered as a Lord. I am excluding demon princes and named characters, though - so Peturbo, Abbadon and Lucius as all not Lords. When is it being held? Immediately after Call to Arms is over - so, I hoping to get the pole up (never done one before) in the first few days of October. Where is it being held? In the Hereticus Astartes forum, either in the Chaos Stronghold thread there or its own thread. I'll post a link here when I set it up. What can I win? The winner earns the officially unofficial title of Lordiest Lord Called to Arms in 2023 and the esteme of their peers (esteme not guaranteed). Don't I get a banner at least? Not from me, no - I have no skills in the creation of such things. You can make your own or coerce someone in doing it for you, though. What happens if there is a tie? I'll be the tie breaker, but I won't vote for my own entry. Here is a list of the persons entered so far, with a link to their post containing the post the picture I will use for the voting. If I've missed your Lord, please let me know. If you want off the list, please let me know. If you have a better photo for me, please either post it here or message it to me. @Cactus - here @crimsondave - here, here and here @Dr_Ruminahui - here @gaurdian31 - here Hmm... I thought we had more than that, so I'm sure I'm missing at least someone. I know @legoman has one still in the works, which will be added here if he gets it in before the deadline. Hi @Dr_Ruminahui, do you think i would be able to enter my Dark Apostle. As a Word Bearer the Keepers of the Faith are at least on par with a mere Lord?!

gaurdian31 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Looks like a lot happened over the weekend. Good job everyone! Got the sorcerer done pics below: Spoiler @Dr_Ruminahui I always go with purple for warp fire. It is why I went with purple for the Dark Apostle and crew as well. I figure they are heavy into the warp stuff. Your multi color flames on the Master of Possession look really good in my honest opinion.

legoman Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 WIP on my Lordy Lord. Will hopefully finish base coats tomorrow and apply some washes, then some time for a little bit of detail and base on Friday, just in time to compete vow for Saturday! Will then go back and touch him and the Dark Apsotle up (that sounds slightly Slaneshy....) Luckily I think I pledged exactly the right amount, anymore and I wouldn't have finished.

If not, and he is a "named character" only in the fact that he has a name (so, "in name only" ) like the guy from the Dark Vengeance box, then yes and I will add Brother Captain Arkley and his Azrakh to my list of contestants.

Muskie Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 No one's saying nothing? I've had to work a lot, but I did the math, I should have until Saturday 7pm MST. So I'll try. I should get one done, but it is all or nothing, going to have to bust out a lot of contrast paint and washes, but there is so much detail on the Plague Surgeon, lots of finicky bits. gaurdian31, sitnam and legoman 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379216-call-to-arms-chaos-stronghold/page/13/#findComment-5991812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

legoman Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Vow finished! I don’t think I am going to have time to do anymore before the deadline. Both guys could do with some more time spent on them though so I will do that next week. I had lots of fun with both of them - attempting some wet blending on flames/tabard things on the Dark Apostle, and blood effect on both. I like how the tube things on the lord came out - I wanted them to look like they were always pushing through his body and out into the armour and back, which is why they are all glossy and bloody and (hopefully!) gross looking.

legoman Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 And here is the group shot with the full vow! This has been a great experience for me - this is my first foray into warhammer since about 2010. I find it pushed me to keep to the timeline I set myself. I have also loved all the chat on here, seeing the likes etc is really nice, and it's been great to see other people's completed models (all of which have been brilliant). I also now have a fully completed combat patrol so may even try and get a game at the local GW! So thank you everyone and special thanks to @Grotsmasha for arranging (as well as anyone else involved) and also @Dr_Ruminahui for the weekly updates! Cheers!

Teetengee Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 With just over 40 hours remaining, I will not yield. I have been beset by the trials of the other gods (Slaanesh: marriage, Tzeentch: work schedules and my glue transforming into a weird blob monster, Nurgle: illness) and surpassed them, so now I come to Khorne's trial, to blood and brass, to the mini now prepared before me. gaurdian31, Kaiju Soze, legoman and 3 others 5 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379216-call-to-arms-chaos-stronghold/page/13/#findComment-5991954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Danjou Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Not at all happy with them, but I declare them done. I give you blue blobs of Tzeentch, and slithering daemon of Slaanesh. I am done for this year, and I had a blast. Thank you for doing this event, great work. It seems I can't count or that I have so many of these little smurfs or maybe both, anyhow I had forgotten one, luckily I saw it on the table with its rimmed base, only the ones for the vow have been rimmed.

Muskie Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I got up early, but not as good of light as yesterday in Alberta. I'm mostly done. I set an alarm to take the picture with half hour to spare, but honestly there are only a few bits that are still Wraithbone. But I think I could have done a bit better if I wasn't rushed, picture coming soon. It is too bad the Plague Surgeon isn't lordy enough, I have to get his face right, that is the top priority for today, that and rusting metal, so much rusty chain to do. We'll see who else is cutting it close, but in my defence I painted a lot (of hours).

Trixie Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Still waiting on a late delivery of Iron Warrior transfers so I can't do the gloss/oilwash/weathering I want to, but I reckon these should count as done for the glory of the Chaos Call to Arms.
