=] EVENT: Call to Arms 2025: NECRONS [=

[Brother Tyler]

 

Greetings all Phaerons, Overlords, Lords, and Crypteks.

 

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!

* ALL STRONGHOLDS ARE NOW OPEN, YOU CAN NOW MAKE YOUR VOWS *

 

Happy painting!  Be sure to cheer on your fellow stronghold participants!

As a reminder, all vows must be completed by September 15th.

 

I will no longer be monitoring these threads in the faction forums - if you have any questions, please ask me in the Strongholds or @Dr_Ruminahui

Week one progress:

 

- Drybrush Necron Compound 

- Nuln Oil wash

- Pipes pickers out with Vallejo Flat Green then Nuln Oil 

- Carapace painted in the Dynasty colours (Magos Purple Contrast then Druchii Violet wash) 

 

 

Next: Black Legion on the guns, before loving to the glowing parts (base with white then apply Tesseract Glow). 

 

That'll be the troops and scarab pretty much done - Characters get a bit more attention (some gold details, and fading glow effect on their blades).

 

Hoping I can get these done by the end of July to add a second pledge and get the majority of my army done during this CtA!
