=] EVENT: Call to Arms 2025: T'AU EMPIRE [=

[Brother Tyler]

 

Greetings all leaders of the T'au Empire.

 

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!

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

 

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 T'au Empire and Xenos to Victory!!!  After June 15th, please do the same in the Xenos Stronghold!
