=] EVENT: Call to Arms 2025: DARK ANGELS [=

[Brother Tyler]

 

Greetings all leaders of the Unforgiven.

 

Call to Arms is back this year, but @Dr_Ruminahui will be running it for @Grotsmasha.  For those new to B&C or simply unaware, Call to Arms is a Forum wide event that this year runs from June 15th until September 15th!

 

The forum is split up into 5 Strongholds: Imperium, loyal Astartes (which is new this year), Chaos, Xenos and Heresy with all 5 factions competing against one another to paint the most in the 3 months time limit. There will be a Central hub thread for each of the Strongholds in the Work in Progress section of the Forge forum which will be linked once it's live. We can use thread to cross post in and track/give motivation to those participating.  For those of you familiar with previous Call to Arms events, the rules are exactly the same this year except for loyal Astartes being their own stronghold.

 

Check out the full rules here

 

If you've got any questions, give @Dr_Ruminahui or one of the Mods a shout!

[Grotsmasha]

Even though I've stepped back from the main event this year, I have a support event Jolemai and I are toying with, CtA: Angels of Death, in the works. More details to follow.

[Chaplain Raeven]

I don't know about you guys, but I have plenty of Angels to paint up for this event. I might even have saved them especially for this! 

[Lostrael]

This could be a good opportunity to get back to painting and finish it without gathering dust

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 Intercessors (1ptx20), 3 Outriders (2ptsx3), a Redmptor (3pts), and a Gravis Captain (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 @Dr_Ruminahui 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 prior to the Event to motivate and inspire the Dark Angels and the Astartes to Victory!!!  After June 15th, please do the same in the Astartes Stronghold!

This year I think I need to cherry pick a bunch of 5pt HQ units to get some bang for buck. 

What is everyone else planning?

I have a lot of (Gravis) squads without proper commanders, so I'm probably going the same route. I have a whole Leviathan-box to paint as well, two Lions and a Fire Raptor.

Can't wait to see your work

[G8Keeper]

I'm considering pledging the Lion and buddies (not sure which buddies yet) for this, been away from posting etc for a good while now, it seems like a decent way to get me going again.

[Grotsmasha]

Unfortunaetly, the ceiling in my Hobby space (garage) it's beginning to let go (my guess is water damage from the cyclone, and continued wet weather), and I've had to pack and evacuate all my hobby stuff. I think I'm going to have to rein in my expectations of what I'm reasonably going to be able to complete this year 

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Hopefully you can get your hobbying back on track soon, and the damage is worse than is feared.
