=] Call to Arms: Chaos Stronghold [=

[Muskie]

I too can not do varnish, it is raining, but I'm going to eat lunch, then put five carefully chosen rust effects on and call it a good'n. I want some rusty chains.

[Dwango]

Vow complete. 

[Muskie]

I also completed my vow. But I reserve the right to touch up a couple things tomorrow morning. I didn't do as good a job on the rust and verdigris this time and I'm not sure why, but they are definitely done. Now how big a file can I have 4.88 MB apparently...

[sitnam]

@Muskie Stunning work frater.  I understand wanting to get a bit more done, but I'd be proud if that was my Plague Surgeon. That Ultranurgling is brilliant

 

@Dwango That Azrakh also looks awesome. Love the white armor especially

Ok, I think this might be done, unless anyone has any recommendations for touchups/technical paint/more glow.

I'll take better photos when there's daylight though, but for now, LET THE GALAXY BURN!!!

[Metzombie]

Vow finished

[Grotsmasha]

The Call to Arms 2023 is

 

CLOSED

 

No Completions After this Point will be Accepted

[Teetengee]

Glad I posted the above because my alarms totally failed me on getting better pictures of it. @Grotsmasha, am I still allowed to take more pictures?

That will be Ok

[Teetengee]

sweet, I'll go do that and post separately, so there's no question of completion time! It was quite dark here then!

[Boc]

I'll get a full family pick of everything once I'm back from my short trip, I'd taken one last week but then realized I had my Despoiler in the pic instead of the Tyrant 

[Teetengee]

Alright, better picture!


Some detail shots here, but more images from different angles in my wip.

Those hazard stripes are incredibly well done 

 

Aye thanks, they were the hardest bit to do to be honest. A lot of faff with masking tape and bluetac.

 

Well done as well to everyone who contributed and who managed this event. I only wish I could have added more but I knew I'd have very limited time so the one vow was quite realistic and was the correct call. Once the transfers actually show up I'll post a better pic of them with all the extras done.

[gaurdian31]

Amazing work everyone! Thanks again to @Grotsmasha for organizing and @Dr_Ruminahui for the motivation and weekly recaps! Great work all!

[Dr_Ruminahui]

AND WE ARE DONE!  Which makes this my final recap/review. 

 

@legoman and @gaurdian31, I'm really happy that you've been enjoying these and they helped keep you motivated, as well as thanks to all those who stated the same previously.  Knowing these were appreciated really helped me keep making them.

 

But really, the real thanks goes to @Grotsmasha for doing all the hard work to hold the event, and you guys for doing all the hard work in painting and posting your models for it.

 

And a special shout out to those who were able to pull it through and finish their vows in the final days after struggling with them earlier/throughout the event - @Muskie, @Trixie, @Cpt.Danjou and @Teetengee, all well done!

 

And now for the actual recap:

 

@crimsondave - Love your demon prince - very unique skin tone.  Glad you enjoyed the event - you had a fantastically productive run at it, with all of your models painted to a very high caliber and a new (for you) paint scheme for many of them to boot.

 

@sitnam - Thanks for the group photo, they all look great together.

 

@Brother Captain Arkley - Too bad you had to pull out of doing your berzerker but as we all know life happens.  Hopefully that doesn't invalidate your other vows - by my count, you already had 3 so as a 4th the 'zerker would have been an invalid vow anyway, so....

 

@Boc - That is one huge hoard of gribblies, well done!  And they look great!

 

@legoman - Good to see your completed Apostle, he's great!  How to you intend to do his lackies?  Also, a wonderful job on the Lord, particularly his face - you got a fabulous amount detail out of it.  He's been entered into the Lordiest Lord.

 

@Cpt.Danjou - Good job getting all your little smurfs and their princess done (including the escape artist), especially when they've been such a challenge to do.  Personally, I think they look great!

 

@Trixie - Great job sticking with it and getting those jet bikers done, they look fantastic - so clean!  As noted by Boc, the hazard stripes are particularly impressive.

 

@Dwango - Your Azrack is great and entered into the Lordiest Lord - I like how you combined the bone coloured bottom with the more traditional khornate red on the top.  Still not forgiving you for entering that terrain as xenos, though. 

 

@Muskie - Congratulations on pulling through and getting your models done just in time!  They look fantastic!

 

@Teetengee - Glad you were able to overcome life's distractions and get your juggerlord done in the nick of time!  He looks great - and thanks for the better picture.  He's been entered into the Lordiest Lord.

 

@Metzombie - That has to be the nurgliest spartan I have ever seen - great job and just in under the wire!

 

Thanks again to everyone who entered - you all put out some fabulous work.

 

As for Lordiest Lord, a full list of the entries is here - please let me know if I am missing anyone.  I'll give that a couple of days, and then try to set up a poll in the Hereticus Astartes subforum.

[Teetengee]

yeah, I really cut it close to the wire there! I'm glad I ended up happy with the pre-end state I got it to, because my alarm to get up and take a final look at it totally failed to wake me! but it was good!

[Teetengee]

oh, and you don't need to include me in the lordliest lord contest on this one, as I really intend it more as a lieutenant than as a primarily lord, and I feel like that disqualifies him from the lordliest moniker

[Dr_Ruminahui]

He meets my criteria for Lord, so I'm fine with him participating unless you don't want him to.

[Teetengee]

I've no strong feelings, so happy to be in it.

He's so lordy

Yes, yes I am.   And yes, it is very lordy (you've done a gorgeous job) though it needs a better disguise to pass itself off as a heretic astartes chaos lord.

[Brother Argent]

They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, well intentions was all I ended up having.  I apologize to the Chaos factions for my failure and accept the spawndom awaiting me.  A combination of procrastination, over commitment and real life issues meant I failed on all but my Imperium vow. 

 

I know redemption isn't a thing when it comes to the powers of the Warp but I shall endevour to still meet the demands I pledged to the dark powers soon.

 

Congrats to all those whom got their models done.  These events are always an opportunity to see what talent we have here on the B&C and the Chaos faction here certainly hasn't disappointed on that.

 

Good job on that again guys.

[Boc]

And the Chaos Knights family photo from my first vow

 

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Gorgeous - didn't realize the Cerastus was such a tall boy.  I also like how you used Christmas colours (red, white, green) without any of the models looking the least bit Christmasy, which is a real risk with those colours.

[Firedrake Cordova]

They look great - really nicely done!
