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

 

The Call to Arms is a new multi-forum event designed to encourage us all to start a new army, or bolster our current armies.

 

The Forums of the B&C are divided up into four Strongholds; Imperium, Chaos, Xenos, and Heresy.  For the next three months the 8 Forums of the Xenos Stronghold will be competing to claim Victory over the other Xenos Forums, with all four Strongholds being compared at the conclusion of the Event.

There are two categories for Victory in both the Forums and Strongholds, the Forum/Stronghold who has painted the most points worth of models, and the Forum/Stronghold with the highest % of completion (Participants vs Completions).

Start Date: 15th June 

End Date: 17th September

 

 

How do I join in?

 

Models for The Call to Arms have been allocated a point value based around their size, the time they take to paint, and the amount of effort generally taken to paint them, this is why some models of different sizes appear in the same categories, and why Characters are worth more.

The below list should cover every model for the Cults;

 

1pt    Cultists, Aberrants, Hybrids, Genestealers

2pts   Jackals

3pts   Walkers (Dreadnaughts, Sentinals, Armigers)

4pts   Ridgerunner

5pts   Goliath Chassis vehicles

 

5pts    Leader and Unit Composition: 1 OR Epic Hero, Biophagus, Clamavus, Kellermorph, Locus, Reductus, Sanctus, Nexos, Primus, Magus, Patriarch

 

Terrain

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

2pts   Aegis Defence Line Section, Aegis Defence Platform, Galvanic Servo-haulers, Thermic Plasma Conduit Section, Imperialis Ruins Wall Section, Zone Morialtis/Gallowdark Wall, Octarius Scrap Heap/Barricade

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

5pts   Tidewall Droneport, Tidewall Shieldline, Feculant Gnarlmaw, Miasmic Malignifier

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.

 

 

All points are per model. For example if you pledge 20 Cultists (1ptx20), 3 Jackals (2ptsx3), a Riderunner (4pts), and a Magus (5pts), your vow would be worth 35pts

 

If you have any questions or queries, or there's a model you want to paint but isn't listed, just @Grotsmasha and I'll be more than happy to help you out.

 

 

Please feel free use this thread as a place to share your thoughts, ideas, and WIPs throughout the Event to motivate and inspire the Cults, and the Xenos to Victory!!!

We are ready oh great Star Sire!

Here’s a test mini for my brood brothers kill team. 
 

 

it’s a pretty much full OSL scheme using contrast over a zenithal base, with some drybrushing. The tricky bit is painting in the shadows before dousing the light areas in aethermantic blue. 
 

I decided to add a second light source because blue alone felt a bit boring and left the back almost totally plain. I thinnnim getting close to what I wanted so hopefully it’ll look good for a whole team. 
 

 

I don’t think you could really get away with this for a whole army but for a kill team I think it could be lots of fun. I’m now wondering if it could work for something like Phobos too.
