The Call to Arms 2025

ASTARTES STRONGHOLD

 

Time to bust out those brushes and paints and stand ready to represent your Forum/s of choice and aid them on the path to claim Victory!!!!

 

Divider 1.png

 

What is The Call to Arms, I hear you ask?

 

The Call to Arms is a multi-forum event designed to  encourage us all to start a new army, or bolster our current forces.

 

The Forums of the B&C are divided up into five Strongholds;

 

The Astartes Stronghold

 

The Imperium Stronghold

 

The Chaos Stronghold

 

The Xenos Stronghold

 

The Heresy Stronghold

 

These five Strongholds will act as the hub for each of the five main Factions, and will for the 3 Month duration of the Call to Arms, run independently of the four other Strongholds. Each Stronghold may have different targets and goals, and even their own mini/complementary events, all with unique badges and achievements, but at the end of the 3 months, the five Strongholds will face off, and overall winners will be declared.

 

Dates

 

Start Date: 15th JUNE 2025

End Date: 15th SEPTEMBER 2025

(Timezone will be GMT -8 [so, North American Pacific Coast time], please make local adjustments for time)

 

 

Divider 2.png

 

So, how is it all going to work?

 

1.   As each of the Strongholds are acting (initially) as their own Events, you may choose to focus within a single Stronghold, or participate in all five Strongholds, and any complementary/mini-events that you would like to. Your Vows will be treated independently in each Stronghold, meaning a Failed Vow in one Stronghold will NOT effect Vows in the other Strongholds.

 

2.  Models pledged to a Stronghold must come from the army books associated with those Forums covered by each Stronghold. The exceptions to this are Titans and models not associated with a given faction (such as Necromunda models and terrain), these models / units may be pledged to any Stronghold.

 

3.  You may join in any of the Events at any time within the 3 Month time-frame of The Call to Arms

 

4.  For each Stronghold, you have a MAXIMUM of 3 Vows, you must finish your active vow before pledging to a second or third vow.

 

5.  In addition to the three Vows, any model in the 10pt Category or higher will fit into the "Job's a Big'un" Vow, and will run separate from the 3 Vow limit and have the entirety of the 3 months to be completed. 

 

6.  Once recorded, Vows may not be altered, however special considerations may be made upon request.

 

7.  There is no minimum pledge, you may vow 1 model, or your entire collection, but beware, failing your last active vow will invalidate any completed vows you may have already submitted.

 

 

Divider 3.png

 

How do I join in?

 

Each model has a point value based upon its size, and the comparative amount of effort and time it takes to paint said model, listed below are are the points-per-model, more specific lists can be found in each Forums Rally Point thread, but I've added some generic examples below,

 

1pt   Infantry

2pts   Cavalry/Bikers

3pts   Heavy Weapons Teams / Walkers (Dreadnaughts, Sentinels)

4pts   Skimmers / Light Vehicles (Landspeeders, ATV, Armigers)

5pts   Small Tanks (Leman Russ, Rhino Variants)

6pts   Large Tanks (Rogal Dorn, Sicaran, Land Raider)

8pts   Superheavies (Baneblades etc) 

10pts  Imperial Knight etc

 

Characters

5pts   Leader/Character models

10pts Primarchs

 

Note: Characters with Retinue, I.E. Saint Celestine.  The Leader model is worth 5pts, the other models are pointed as to their type - for example, Saint Celestine and her bodyguard would be 7 points - 5 for the Saint (leader), 1 each for her 2 seraphim buddies.

 

40K Scale Titans

20pts Warhound Titan 

30pts Reaver Titan 

40pts  Warbringer Titan

50pts Warlord Titan

 

Terrain

1pt    3 Munitorum Barrels, 4 Munitorum Crates, Zone Mortalis/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 Mortalis/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, Mechanicus Transterranic 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 Forgeshrine, Mechanicus Galvanic Magnavent

8pts   Fronteris Hab Bunker, Manufactorum Administratus,

10pts Zone Mortalis 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.

 

 

You may vow ANY MODEL that is covered by THIS STRONGHOLD, but you must allocate your points to only one SUBFACTION.  These Subfactions are the ones listed under the various Strongholds above, and are the various B&C forums/subforums, with 2 exceptions:

   a) Deathwatch is a valid Subfaction for both the Astartes and Imperium Strongholds, despite not having a dedicated forum/subforum; and

   b) in the HERESY STRONGHOLD, the Subfactions are "Emperor" and "Warmaster", not the 2 B&C forums listed above.

NOTE: Your chosen Subfaction doesn't have to correspond to your vowed models, although it typically does.

 

Please make your vows in this thread in the following format;

 

"I, {insert username}, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint {insert units/models} for {xxx pts} for the Glory of the {Subfaction name} and the {Stronghold name} Stronghold on or before 15th September 2025, or bear the badge of failure until year's end."

 

For example:

 

"I, Dr Ruminahui, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 5 crusaders, a Chaplain, Mephiston and a Necromunda Fuel Tanks for 19 pts for the Glory of the Black Templars and the Astartes Stronghold on or before September 15th, or bear the badge of failure until year's end."

 

The post that contains your Vow must include starting pictures that contain all the models from the Vow.

Starting models may be in any of the following conditions;

  • In the box
  • On the Sprue
  • Assembled
  • Single Colour Primed
  • Sub-assemblies primed in different colours will be acceptable, I.E. chassis in Leadbelcher, with armour plates in secondary colour.

Additionally, you may pledge models you have not yet received I.E. Warhammer: Imperium Subscription, just make sure a image is edited in to your Vow post once you've received the models, and make a post indicating that you have done so.

 

Your Vow is considered complete when you declare it so, and post completed pictures of all models contained within the Vow. Although "Complete" is to your own standard, we would like you to aim for GW's "Battle Ready", with the miniatures based. If basing is something you don't do, or won't be doing within the Event's timeline, please return the bases to flat black or brown as this will greatly enhance the Completed presentation.

 

Required Completion Pictures: Please include 1 image with a complete shot of the entire Vow, I also encourage everyone to include additional images for each squad/unit in the vow,. 

 

Once you have made your vow, pop this badge of Participation into your Signature,

0- participation badge.png

 

 

Divider 4.png

 

Will there be any awards?

 

Yes!!  There will be Badges and Achievements within the Astartes Stronghold.  Note, all badges/ranks/achievements are a different thing and entirely separate from the ranks and achievements tracked by the forum software.
 

Event Failed: Servitor

10 points: Veteran
25 points  Sergeant
45 points:  Lieutenant
75 points:  Captain
100+ points:  Chapter Master

 


Artificer - Top 1, 2, or 3 best painted models from each Forum, chosen by the forum Moderators, Administrators and Librarians. 
Princeps - Awarded to all completed 40K scale Titans 
Astartes Champion - Awarded to the Frater who individually paints the most points worth of models in the Astartes Stronghold

Champions of the Horde - The Subfaction for each Stronghold with the highest overall points worth of models

Champion of the Call - The Subfaction for each Stronghold that has the Highest Participation vs. Completion Percentage.

 

 

As to the overall competition between the Strongholds, there will also be Badges awarded for the following;

 

Masters of the Horde - The Stronghold that completes the highest overall points worth of models.

Masters of the Call - The Stronghold that has the Highest Participation vs. Completion Percentage.

Master Artificer - Voted best painted Model, chosen from the 5 Stronghold Artificers.

 


In addition to the Badges and Achievements above, there will be additional Awards for the following 4 categories. At this stage there are no physical prizes like last year, but that *MAY* change by the end of the Event.


Favourite Young Blood - This category is for Participants who have been building and/or painting models for less than 12 months. Anyone wishing to participate as A Young Blood will need to specifically declare that are are doing so when making their Vows. At the conclusion of the Event all Young Blood Entries will be placed into a Poll for the B&C at large to vote on and pick a Favourite. The voting criteria for this category is not about picking the best painted model, but the model that inexplicably pulls a smile on your face, one that makes you think, damn that's cool.. 


Master of the Forge - Best Conversion or Kit-bash. Anyone wishing to participate for the Master of the Forge Badge and Prize will need to specifically declare that they are doing so when they vow the model.

 

Stronghold Artificer - Awarded to five Participants, one from each Stronghold for the Best Painted Model in from the Stronghold, chosen by the Frater via Poll.

 

Grand Marshal - Individual with the Most Points of Models Painted across all Strongholds

 

 

That's it, you've done it, you've made it to the end!!!

 

 

If you have any questions or queries, contact me,  @Dr_Ruminahui and I'll be more than happy to help you out.

 

 

F.A.Q.s

 

Q- If I have models with different coloured heads or shoulder pads, can they be primed different colours IE. Black templars or Eldar Guardians?

A- Yes, this is acceptable.

 

Q- I want to paint Traitor Guard, is there a way to pledge them to Chaos?

A- Yes, for the purposes of Traitor Guard, the Astra Militarum units may be pledged to Chaos. The Realm of Chaos is the most appropriate forum.

 

Q- Are 3D prints allowed?

A- Yes, as long as they are board appropriate, 3D prints can be pledged to the Call to Arms. Use the points associated with the unit they represent.

 

 

THIS THREAD WILL REMAIN LOCKED UNTIL JUNE 15, 2025, AT WHICH TIME VOWS MAY COMMENCE

Which subfaction do you want your vows to go through (Astartes, Black Templars, Blood Angels, ect.)?  I'll put it under the general Astartes subfaction for now - please let me know if I need to move you to a different one.

 

Likewise, @Karhedron - it can be either of the ones you are currently painting models for, or a different one entirely - what ever best represents from your view the models you intend to vow or your place in the hobby.

 

@Chaplain Raeven, I'll give you a 1/2 point for the beacon.

 General is fine since they are “Imperial Fist Successors”

15 points for Blood Angels please (10 Hellblasters + Apothecary) and

15 points for Space Wolves (2 Wolf Priests + Vindicator)

I, Reclusiarch Jolemai, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 1x Chaplain with Jump Pack; Statue of Sanguinius for 15 points (Chaplain 5, Statue 10) for the Glory of the Blood Angels and the Adeptus Astartes Stronghold on or before 15th September 2025, or bear the badge of failure until year's end.

To do:

  • Scribor Sanguinius to be stripped and repainted as a statue
  • A platform to be build along with a pillar. Finished idea is roughly shown in the photo.
  • The "base" to be appropriately painted

Subfactions aren't divided that way, instead all your points in a stronghold, no matter what they actually are, allocated a a particular subfaction.  That is typically the subfaction that the models are from, but not always - it can instead be the subfaction that is the best home for you as a hobbyist.

 

Basically, you can choose 1 subfaction, it can be any of the ones on this post, it doesn't have to be connected to the models being painted (but often is) and no one will be second guessing your choice.

 

Hope that helps and let me know.

I, Focslain, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint A redemptor dreadnaught, brutalis dreadnaught, 1 assault interssor, techmarine, 5 terminators, terminator librarian, a company champion and a DoW garrison terrain piece for 32 pts for the Glory of the Astartes Stronghold on or before September 15th, or bear the badge of failure until year's end.

 

I'll have the pictures up tomorrow, the brutalis is part of the Combat Patrol magazine and should be arriving next month.

@greatcrusade08, The Sanguinor is 10 points, so your vow is 55.  I've recorded it as such.

 

@Focslain, a few things:

1.  Let me know what subfaction this is for - for now, I've recorded it under the general Astartes subfaction. 

2.  Not sure what the "DoW' terrain piece is.  By my math, you have it as 5 points - once I know what it is/see the photo, I'll let you know if that's the right pointing for it.

3.  While you can vow the brutalis now and post the picture when you get it, another way of going about it would be don't include it in this vow and vow as part of your second (or third) vows.  The latter would help protect you if it never shows up or shows up late.  That said, if you think you need it painted before you complete your first vow (say, you have a tourney you need it for), that would be a reason to vow it now.  I'll include it for now, but let me know.

I, Rhavien, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint Astorath, Lemartes and 5 Sanguinary Guard for 15 pts for the Glory of the Blood Angels and the Astartes Stronghold on or before September 15th, or bear the badge of failure until year's end.

 

 

PXL_20250616_183455473~2.jpg

Question:

Scratch-built terrain pieces adhere to any faction I choose? I plan to build a dried-up lake bed for a Mars board. Dimensions will be roughly 70cm x 60cm although work hasn´t started yet so the size isn´t set in stone at that moment.

Any terrain can be vowed in any stronghold  and doesn't need to be thematically appropriate.  I'll need to see it built to be able to allocate a point value to it - message me a picture when it is and we can discuss.

@Grotsmasha, it was in the post you caught my... original naming, but I guess that is what caught your attention. :biggrin:

 

Basically, if Blood Angels are to have a 10 point model, he's the best candidate... though he is a bit small.

I, JHADZAAN, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint the following:

  • Marshall (5pts)
  • Chaplain (5pts)
  • Judiciar (5pts)
  • Primaris Crusader Squad (10pts)
  • Assault Intercessors w/ Jump Packs (5pts)
  • Sword Brethren (5pts)
  • Ballistus Dreadnought (3pts)
  • Impulsor (5pts)
  • Gladiator Lancer (5pts) 

for  48 points for the Glory of the BLACK TEMPLARS and the ASTARTES Stronghold on or before 15th September 2025, or bear the badge of failure until year's end.

Sorry, the DoW terrain piece is the Chapter Barracks from the Dawn of War video game. I took the pict (3rd one) with the main building next to a Munitorium Crate for scale. If it's worth less I'll fix the score.

 

As for the brutalis, it's just better with my workflow to have it in this vow. The terminators, champion and later the brutalis are the last of the models of the SM part of the CP magazine set I need to paint. So this will push me to paint all of it. Unless something major happens it will be arriving in two weeks. 

 

Not sure which sub-faction to place these under as I'm doing the building, redemptor and assault intercessor as Fire Lords Techmarine as UM and the rest as Dark Hunters. But might as well place these under White Scars cause that is the dominate parent legion with this group.
