Dr_Ruminahui Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) Okay, the Lordiest Lord of Call to Arms 2023 poll is currently now live - you can find it here! Now go vote! Sorry about the delay - I kind of ran out of steam the last few weeks, and had some trepadition (and then some difficulty) setting up the poll correctly.

Grotsmasha Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Call to Arms 2023 Chaos Stronghold Summary First of all, thank you to everyone who participated in our first ever Call to Arms, whether or not you completed your Vows, you have all made the event the success it has been. Should enough of you clamour for more we may very well have this event return annually. Ok, so how did the Chaos Forums and Stronghold perform throughout the Event? Chaos Knights - Participants vs Competed: 1/1, Pledged, 66pts / Complete: 66pts / Secured: 66/66pts (100%) The first of three Forums from the Chaos Stronghold to achieve an outstanding 100% Participant Completion, and as such, @Boc has claimed the Chaos Knights Champions of the Call badge. Heretic Astartes - Participants vs Completed: 16/18 Pledged: 559pts / Complete: 528pts / Secured: 528/559pts (94%) As the primary faction within the Chaos Stronghold, the Heretic Astartes had the most Participants, points pledged and completed within the Stronghold. What the Forum lacked in Participants and pledged models vs. it's Imperium counter-part, it made up with dedication to the cause. This is in no small part to @Dr_Ruminahui's efforts throughout the entire Call to Arms Event within the Stronghold, and surely is a significant factor in the motivation and performance shown within the Stronghold forums. Unfortunetly, the Heretic Astartes Forum was the only one within the Stronghold to fall just shy of the 100% mark of the other three Forums, with a still outstanding completion rate of 94%, with just two Participants missing the deadline. This has earned all Participants who complted their vows in the Heretic Astarted Forum the Champions of the Horde badge to display in their signatures. The Realms of Chaos - Participants vs Completed: 1/1, Pledged: 20pts / Complete: 20pts / Secured: 20pts (100%) The second of three Forums from the Chaos Stronghold to achieve an outstanding 100% Participant Completion, and as such, @renegadeguard has claimed the Realms of Chaos Champions of the Call badge. Age of Darkness Traitors - Participants vs Completed: 1/1, Pledged: 12pts / Complete: 12pts / Secured: 12pts (100%) The third of three Forums from the Chaos Stronghold to achieve an outstanding 100% Participant Completion, and as such, @Trixie has claimed the AoD Traitors Champions of the Call badge. As with most Events, there are of course Badges for Individual Achievments within the Stronghold, Starting with those who did not Complete their Vows, the Spawn Badge, these Participants are honour-bound to bear this Badge until years end. @Brother Argent @Valkia the Bloody For Completing 1-9pts within the Call to Arms, the Completed Badge, @Cactus @Teetengee For Completing 10-24pts within the Call to Arms, the Servent of Chaos Badge, @Brother Captain Arkley @Cpt.Danjou @Metzombie @Muskie @Plaguecaster @renegadeguard @Trixie For Completing 25-44pts within the Call to Arms, the Chosen of Chaos Badge, @Celtic_cauldron @Dr_Ruminahui @Dwango @gaurdian31 @legoman @sitnam @spiros14 @Spyros @Tallarn Commander For Completing 45-74pts within the Call to Arms, the Aspiring Champion Badge, @Boc For Completing +100pts within the Call to Arms, the Warmaster of Chaos Badge, @crimsondave Congratultions to @crimsondave for completing 158pts worth of models, which was individually the most points completed in the Chaos Stronghold, and claiming the title of Chaos Champion badge. The Moderators and Administratum were faced with the very difficult task of selecting three Artificers from each Stronghold, just three entries each from the many, many excellent models submitted within each Stronghold for the Call to Arms. These three Artificers will face off against one another in a Public Poll to claim the Stronghold Artifcer Badge, AND a physical prize. Next, the three Stronghold Artificer's from the Imperium, Chaos, and Xenos Strongholds will face off in one last Public Poll to claim the Master Artificer Badge. Congratulations to @Boc, @Brother Captain Arkley, and @spiros14 for their fantastic entries, earning themselves the Artificer Badge, and a shot at being the Call to Arms 2023 Master Artificer. Boc's Cerastus Knight Spoiler Brother Captain Arkley's Azrakh the Annihilator Spoiler spiros14's Cultist Squad Spoiler Please take a moment to look at all three polls and cast your votes, IMPERIUM | CHAOS | XENOS Now, you may have noticed the overall Stronghold participants, and points completed are missing, they will feature in one last Summary where the Strongholds results verses each other will be discussed, and prizes announced ans so on. Artificer Polls will be open for a week or so, and then we'll talk Strongholds.

I understand cutting and pasting, but when I edit my profile I don't see a way to change my signature. I'm on a Mac if that means anything but it shouldn't. I think I have it figured out. It is weird signature is not part of your profile... Edited October 25, 2023 by Muskie Confusion versus accuracy gaurdian31 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legoman Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Thanks again @Grotsmasha for running the event, and @Dr_Ruminahui for the motivational updates. My painting has fallen off a cliff since it finished! I think the combination of overdoing it in the last couple of weeks to get the models finished, plus some holiday, has done for me. Planning to get back on it next week and start my terminators! gaurdian31, Firedrake Cordova, Dr_Ruminahui and 1 other 3 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Yeah a big thanks to @Grotsmasha and @Dr_Ruminahui thanks for the fun event :)... Weirdly enough I painted more for Chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Our lowest completion rate being 94%? Great going guys! Thanks (and you're welcome) to all who have expressed appreciation of my cheerleading - it makes me happy that I could help inspire you all to paint up a storm and produce so many gorgeous models for this event, and it feels great such was appreciated. And really, it was fun to give you all your well deserved praise every week, even if it did require me to plumb my vocabulary for new superlatives. Really, all the work done in this event was by @Grotsmasha and by all you folks who participated. @Boc - Winning Chaos knights as its only contributor definitely still counts as winning! Good job! Likewise, good job to @renegadeguard and @Trixie for winning for the Traitor Guard and 30K forums! And @crimsondave for being the winningnest of them all - you cranked out so many excellent models. @legoman - I think some burn out after a big push like you did for the event is normal. Certainly I'm feeling the same and I painted far less than you did. @Brother Captain Arkley - No surprise you painted the most for Chaos - Chaos is the best! We have free tentacles and crab claws! @Boc, @spiros14 and @Brother Captain Arkley, congratulations all of you for your Artificer badges, all well deserved. As for everyone else, although Grotsmasha had to limit it down to those 3, there are were so many entries that deserved to or could have been included had there been space for them. And if anyone hasn't voted for their favorite yet, go do so. As well, if you haven't yet, go vote for the Lordiest Lord - less than a week left to get your vote in!

WrathOfTheLion Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) I could only guess that it'd be something with the browser or system pasting the image as is and trying to reupload a new attachment. Still, I don't know and that's just blind guessing. Either MacOS or the browser could resize it or perform some other transformation during that. I usually copy the link and paste it when I add badges to mine. I'll try uploading the image in the post with my mac and see if anything interesting happens Edited October 26, 2023 by WrathOfTheLion gaurdian31 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Redownloading it, it is slightly different, although still 100x100. So we do know it can be modified some, just not whether that does anything. gaurdian31 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Ruminahui Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Thanks and you're welcome, @crimsondave! The polls for Lordliest Lord are now closed (in fact, they have been for a week - sorry for my delay) and crimsondave has the Lordliest Lord in the form of his Iron Warriors terminator lord! It was a close thing, with @Brother Captain Arkley and his khorne terminator lord close behind, but is well deserved! May he wear his unofficial title with well earned pride! And congratulations to Brother Captain Arkley for winning the best Chaos mini and being in the run for Master Artificer. So, while only the 2nd most Lordly, it is still a very fine model and perhaps the finest model of the 2023 Call to Arms.
