[Grotsmasha]

The B&C Presents:

 

The Call to Arms 2023

XENOS STRONGHOLD

 

What better way to celebrate a new edition of our favourite table-top wargame than to have a big Inter-Forum Painting Event, amiright? Time to bust out those brushes and paints and stand ready to represent your Forum/s of choice and aid them on the path to claim Victory!!!!

 

 

 

What is The Call to Arms, I hear you ask?

 

The Call to Arms is a new multi-forum event designed to celebrate the coming of Warhammer 40,000's new, 10th Edition, and encourage us all to start a new army, or bring our current armies into the new edition.

 

The Forums of the B&C are divided up into three Strongholds;

 

The Imperium Stronghold

• Adepta Sororitas
• Adeptus Astartes
• Adeptus Mechanicus
• Astra Militarum
• Imperial Knights
• Talons of the Emperor
• The Imperium of Mankind
• Age of Darkness Loyalists

The Chaos Stronghold

• Chaos Daemons
• Chaos Knights
• Heretic Astartes
• The Realms of Chaos
• Age of Darkness Traitors

The Xenos Stronghold

• Aeldari
• Drukhari
• Genestealer Cults
• Leagues of Votann
• Necrons
• Orks
• T'au Empire
• Tyranids

 

These three Strongholds will act as the hub for each of the three main Factions, and will for the 3 Month duration of the Call to Arms, run independently of the two other Strongholds. Each Stronghold may have different targets and goals, and even their own mini/complementary events, all with unique badges and achievements, but at the end of the 3 months, the three Strongholds will face off, and overall winners will be declared.

 

Start Date: 1 July 2023

End Date: 30 September 2023

 

 

 

So, how is it all going to work?

1. As each of the Strongholds are acting (initially) as their own Events, you may choose to focus within a single Stronghold, or participate in all three Strongholds, and any complementary/mini-events that you would like to. Your Vows will be treated independently in each Stronghold, meaning a Failed Vow in one Stronghold will NOT effect Vows in the other Strongholds.
2. Models pledged to a Stronghold must come from the army books associated with those Forums covered by each Stronghold. The exceptions to this are Titans and models from the Other Games Forum (Aeronautica, Titanicus, Necromunda etc), these models / units may be pledged to any Stronghold.
3. You may join in any of the Events at any time within the 3 Month time-frame of The Call to Arms
4. For each Stronghold, you have a MAXIMUM of 3 Vows, you must finish your active vow before pledging to a second or third vow.
5. Once recorded, Vows may not be altered, however special considerations may be made upon request.
6. There is no minimum pledge, you may vow 1 model, or your entire collection, but beware, failing your last active vow will invalidate any completed vows you may have already submitted.
7. In addition to the three Vows, any model in the 10pt Category or higher will fit into the "Job's a Big'un" Vow, and will run separate from the 3 Vow limit and have the entirety of the 3 months to be completed. 

 

 

How do I join in?

 

Each model has a point value based upon it's size, and the comparative amount of effort and time it takes to paint said model, listed below are are the points-per-model, more specific lists can be found in each Forums Rally Point thread, but I've added some generic examples below,

 

1pt   Infantry

2pts   Cavalry/Bikers/Heavy Weapons Teams

3pts   Walkers (Dreadnaughts, Sentinals)

4pts   Skimmers / Light Vehicles (Landspeeders, ATV, Armigers)

5pts   Small Tanks (Leman Russ, Rhino Variants)

6pts   Large Tanks (Rogal Dorn, Sicaran, Land Raider)

8pts   Superheavies (Baneblades etc) 

10pts  Imperial Knight etc

 

5pts   Leader and Unit Composition: 1 OR Epic Hero

10pts Primarchs

NOTE: Characters with Retinue, I.E. Saint Celestine. Celestine is the EPIC HERO, and is worth 5pts, her two Sister Superiors are Seraphim, which are worth 1pt each.

 

20pts Warhound Titan

30pts Reaver Titan

40pts  Warbringer Titan

50pts Warlord Titan

 

Terrain

1pt    3 Munitorum Barrels, 4 Munitorum Crates, Zone Morialtis/Gallowdark Column, Octarius Ramshackle Bridges

3pts   Fronteris Vox Antenna, Fronteris Auspex Shrine, Thermo-exchanger Shrine, Octarius Oil Rig, Necromunda Fuel Tanks

4pts   Munitorum Container, Mechsnicus Transterrsnic Gantry, Galvanic Servo-crane, Big'ead Bossbunka, Skull Alter, Noctilith Crown, Octarius Ramshackle Walls

6pts   Fronteris Landing Pad, Mechanicus Forgeshine, Mechanicus Galvanic Magnavent

8pts   Fronteris Hab Bunker, Manufactorum Administratus,

10pts Zone Morialtis Gang Stronghold

 

Note: Custom/Scratchbuilt terrain- use this list as a guide as to how many points tour terrain is worth, but please make sure to mention your terrain is custom when Vowing.

 

 

You may vow ANY MODEL that is covered by THIS STRONGHOLD, but you must allocate your points to only one FORUM.

 

Please make your vows in this thread in the following format;

 

"I, {insert username}, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint {insert units/models} for {xxx pts} for the Glory of {insert Forum} and the Xenos Stronghold on or before 30th September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until years end."

 

example;

I, Grotsmasha, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 20 Necron Warriors, 5 Ork Nobz, 1 GSC Magus, and 1 War Walker for 29pts for the Glory of the Orks and the Xenos Stronghold on or before September 30th, or bear the badge of failure until year's end."

 

The post that contains your Vow must include starting pictures that contain all the models from the Vow.

Starting models may be in any of the following conditions;

• In the box
• On the Sprue
• Assembled
• Single Colour Primed
• For Tanks / Titans, Sub-assemblies primed in different colours will be acceptable, I.E. chassis in Leadbelcher, with armour plates in secondary colour.

Additionally, you may pledge models you have not yet received I.E. Warhammer: Imperium Subscription, just make sure a image is edited in to your Vow post once you've received the models, and make a post indicating that you have done so.

 

Your Vow is considered complete when you declare it so, and post completed pictures of all models contained within the Vow. Although "Complete" is to your own standard, we would like you to aim for GW's "Battle Ready", with the miniatures based. If basing is something you don't do, or won't be doing within the Event's timeline, please return the bases to flat black or brown as this will greatly enhance the Completed presentation.

 

Required Completion Pictures: Please include 1 image with a complete shot of the entire Vow, I also encourage everyone to include additional images for each squad/unit in the vow, please post these within Spoiler / Hidden tags. 

 

Once you have made your vow, pop this badge of Participation into your Signature,

At the conclusion of the Event all Young Blood Entries will be placed into a Poll for the B&C at large to vote on and pick a Favourite. The voting criteria for this category is not about picking the best painted model, but the model that inexplicably pulls a smile on your face, one that makes you think, damn that's cool.. 

1 Combat Patrol Box (1 Prize across all three Strongholds) 

Master of the Forge - Best Conversion or Kit-bash. Anyone wishing to participate for the Master of the Forge Badge and Prize will need to specifically declare that they are doing so within their Vows.

That's it, you've done it, you've made it to the end!!!

 

If you have any questions or queries, just @Grotsmasha or @Triszin and we'll be more than happy to help you out, now, go on, get, don't you have models to be painting?

 

 

F.A.Q.s

 

Q- If I have models with different coloured heads or shoulder pads, can they be primed different colours IE. Black templars or Eldar Guardians?

A- Yes, this is acceptable.

 

Q- I want to paint Traitor Guard, is there a way to pledge them to Chaos?

A- Yes, for the purposes of Traitor Guard, the Astra Militarum units may be pledged to Chaos. The Realm of Chaos is the most appropriate forum.

 

Q- Are 3D prints allowed?

A- Yes, as long as they are board appropriate, 3D prints can be pledged to the Call to Arms. Use the points associated with the unit they represent.

[Trokair]

So my intention for this event is going to be to get my current built Votann done. But having made a list, and having some more units to build, and an entire another project on the go that I need to finish before year’s end I am going to vow a more realistic chunk for now.

 

For reference the entire list is:

• 1 Kahl
• 1 Champ
• 30 Hearthkyn
• 5 Hearthguard
• 5 Beserks
• 6 Pioneers
• 1 Sagitaur

And on the to be built pile:

• 1 Uthar
• 1 Gandalf + 2 birdies
• 1 Iron Master + 4 friends
• 3 Thunderkyn
• 1 Sagitaur
• 1 Hekaton

 

Picture of all the built stuff.

 

 

 

So, vow time.

 

"I, Trokair, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 30 Hearthkyn Warriors for 30 pts for the Glory of Ancestors and the Xenos Stronghold on or before 30th September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until years end."

 

I haven’t worked out a colour scheme yet, so starting on the warriors will give me a bit of time to work it out.

I, Rusted Boltgun, heed the Call to Waa...Arms and pledge this scurvy band of Kommandos to be completed and added to the tally of the Xenos Stronghold on or before 30th September 2023, or bear the badge of failure until year's end.

 

 

That looks like 12 points to me. A little starter with hopefully further pledges to follow.

 

I don't qualify for the Youngblood category by six months (plus 21 years out of the hobby) and nor does Junior Boltgun (he's only nine so I don't think he's eligible to join B&C!)) but he might join in for fun over the summer break.
