The pictures aren’t all loading…. Is that an issue at my end or yours?

[Dr_Ruminahui]

I don't have a problem, and seeing there are a number of votes (which presumably means they can see the models to vote on), this would appear to be on your end.  Not sure what might be causing it, but hopefully you can work it out.

So many (well, two...) Defilers to choose from

[Dr_Ruminahui]

You're lucky, then, that @Boc's excellent printed defiler isn't there...

Yeah not sure what it this cos normally everything displays fine. Just every now and again on this forum the odd picture is blank with a question mark. Your defiler isn’t showing now, neither are Brother Christopher’s marines or Lord Ikka’s Necromunda transport. What’s even more weird is that the defiler was showing earlier and isn’t now. 
 

I already have a good idea which I’m voting for anyway from seeing all the entries previously, so that won’t stop me casting my vote.

I get that occasionally when browsing generally - some requests seem to fail or take forever to complete. Normally, refreshing the page fixes it ....

[Ezekyle_Abaddon]

Could we get some insight into what the voting process is for choosing the finalists? I know I personally would love some feedback on my entry so that I could make improvements next year to make the cut.

When making your vow, you just need to state which model/s are entries into the Master of the Forge category, and most importantly, include good pictures of the finished entry with your Completion.

 

I've just gone back and checked and there's two reasons your entry was missed. 1st is my mistake in missing it as MotF entry and not marking it as one in your Vow in the 2nd post. The 2nd is the pics for it were not in the "Completion" post. So when I went through the 2nd post, opened all the links and looked at all the pics, I didn't clock the conversion.

My apologies @Ezekyle_Abaddon.

I'll discuss with the team, and see what the consensus is, between carrying on, and correcting and restarting the Poll.

Ah, I see. I thought it was like the artificer voting, where the moderators vote first, then it's released to us fraters to decide the winner.

 

I apologize for not making it more clear that I was participating in the MotF and next year I'll make sure to confirm.

 

I'm also fine just carrying on with the vote has is, but that is just me

[Dr_Ruminahui]

I'm okay with restarting it - your demon prince is probably my favourite model from this year's CtA, and its a shame that it was missed.

 

I also want to comment that I love @Lord_Ikka's necromunda truck - it's got a delightfully 2nd edition scratchbuild vibe, in the best kind of way.

A complete toss-up between Dr Ruminahui's Defiler and the Daemon Prince centaur.  I chose the Daemon Prince b/c there was extra care placed in making the base.  Personally I think the miniature is more fitting for WHFB or AoS universe than for Abaddon's Horde.

[N1SB]

This is how we know we're ready for primetime.

 

We needed some sort of technical issue, intricacies in the rules, that need to be resolved and they have been quickly and well by many parties, to know we're now A Real Sport.  Well done, everybody.  I know this wasn't intentional, but it honestly adds legitimacy to Call to Arms.  There's a remediation process, and it worked well.

 

I was just going to say these Call to Arms are my already favourite thing in B&C, and this made it even better.  It was a stress test.  The system works.

I got a dang near whole Black Legion and Iron Warriors armies done last year and my whole whole greenwing and part of my Deathwing this year.  Definitely my favorite thing on B&C.  It gets my lazy butt in gear to paint.
