Grotsmasha Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) 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). Full Rules and Place your Vow => The Xenos Stronghold 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 T'au; 1pt Drones, Kroot, Vespid, Warriors, Stealthsuits, 2pts Crisis Battlesuit, Piranha 3pts Broadside Battlesuit 4pts Ghostkeel Battlesuit 7pts Riptide Battlesuit, 8pts Stormsurge Battlesuit, Devilfish Chassis Tanks, Razor/Sun Shark, Barracuda 5pts Leader and Unit Composition: 1 OR Epic Hero, Shaper, Fireblade, Commander, Ethereal 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 Fire Warriors (1ptx20), 3 Crisis Battlesuits (2ptsx3), a Broadside (3pts), and a Commander Battlesuit (5pts), your vow would be worth 34pts 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 Tau, and the Xenos to Victory!!!

MithrilForge Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Event planning indeed - Need to work out what I have to paint and then divide in all up into 3 (Paintable) Vows ,since I wont have a Big'un unit that's over 10 points (only Elmo is crazy enough to paint a Manta ) I'll only have 3 Vows worth... better get all my T'AU stuff together and pair them all off into vows... Cheers. Mithril Grotsmasha 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I went on an investigation today. Apparently I must have dreamt up buying a copy of Chalnath. However I do have the Ghostkeel Combat Patrol, an extra box of XV25, the Kroot Hunting Pack and I found a Strike/Breacher team on sprue from a previous Kill Team box. Oh and two XV15 (sadly I think my others are lost as I really want to build a squad of XV15 for nostalgia) who need some more friends. I'd probably look at a Fireblade, Strike Team and XV25 team to give me some different things to play with. Because I imagine my next purchases will be the new Combat Patrol (or two) and some Devilfish.

The Pounder Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I’m thinking of vowing a Sunforge team for my T’au along with as much Kroot as I think will be achievable! Looking forward to the start. MithrilForge and walter h 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 @The Pounder - Great Idea, The Crisis Team will be a palate Cleanser from your organic Kroot I'm looking forward to it too but need to get stuff undercoated...Here "Down under" we're heading from Autumn into Winter and I need good spray can weather M. walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wormwoods Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I need to get my cuss together for it, I have most of the old combat patrol to paint, and all of the new one coming for my next Crusade, which is a lovely excuse to make a game of it. Of course, as a filthy assemblies painter I can't get them all glued together for a photo first, it'll just be a pile of sprues.

drakheart Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Yep, I was the idiot that bought a Barracuda the week before it was consigned to legends...Doh! I'm guessing form the points list at the top it will be worth 8pts in the challenge?

The Pounder Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Really feel for you on that one. They absolutely gutted my Krieg force which contributed to me cashing in on them. Not nice when it happens. walter h and MithrilForge 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grotsmasha Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 2 hours ago, MithrilForge said: I really need That nice undercoat weather ...very soon please Weather Gods!!??.. I've heard that warming a can in warm water for a minute or so works wonders for priming when it's a little cooler. Up in Brissie I've never had reason to give it a go, bust maybe could be worth a shot MithrilForge and walter h 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 @Grotsmasha - Thanks Grot, I do actually do that with the can and yes it works extremely well!, but if it's too cold I'd rather not risk it, I'm probably going to drive into work on the weekend and spray them in a Loading bay that's sheltered and heated + The things we do for our Hobby !!

MithrilForge Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) 2 Days Till "Call to Arms 2024" Starts!! I have my First Vow undercoated(finally) and ready... @Grotsmasha * double checking though, I have 3 members of a Strike team put together & undercoated (I only had 3 when it was a good time to undercoat so I went with what I had, I am going to finish the rest of them later) am i able to vow these 3 now for 3 points along with the other stuff I have? The rest of the team will probably be in my second vow... The same with my Stealth Leader his other team mates are already painted so am i able to vow him separately from them for 1 point? Thanks for any clarification you can give... Cheers, Mithril Edited June 12 by MithrilForge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 Yep, vows are by model not units MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
