Thanks for running this event @Dr_Ruminahui! 

Really helped motivate me over the last few months.

Got all my guys painted! 
10x Krieg engineers + 2x remote mines

20x Krieg infantry

[Razurok]

And 20x Krieg Death Riders

@Dr_Ruminahui Thank you for organizing this event! I haven’t painted a 40k army in over 5 years so this was the perfect way to motivate me and get me back in the hobby.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

CALL TO ARMS 2025 IS NOW OVER!

(or at least the painting and submitting portion)

 

ANY VOW COMPLETIONS POSTED AFTER THIS POINT WILL NOT BE COUNTED AS COMPLETED.

 

That said, please continue posting in the Stronghold and sharing pictures of your models.  I will post further tomorrow after I record the final week of the event.

 

THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING

Reporting Page updated - please review to ensure your entry is correct (subfaction, link, models vowed, point value, entry into Master of the Forge).  If you completed your vows, please double check to confirm that I have correctly noted such - and IF I HAVE MISSED A COMPLETION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

 

My next steps are to double check my math, do the number crunching, and determine (through a vote among the forum "staff") the contestants for Imperium Stronghold Artificer badge.  To facilitate that, please post your best picture of your favorite painted model or unit that you did for the Imperium Stronghold in this Call to Arms - it will make my job much easier. 

 

Additionally, if you have a Master of the Forge entry, please post your best picture of it as well.

 

Finally, if you haven't done so already, please post a "group shot" of all your completed models, whether or not you managed to complete your vow.

This was my favourite model I painted, I especially like the hoofs and the serial number on the horse with the red coloured bits. It’s not the best job as there are some details that look a bit messy, but overall I’m happy how it turned out.

My stronghold pick is this bloke:

 

 

Such a great callback to the old missionaries without being a pure retread... The Sanctifiers kit was just a tonne of fun.

 

Also here's my event summary photo:

 

"Deep in the Ghoul Stars, as nobility of the Deepvoid Corsairs command their Ulthwé allies, thrallbeasts and Galberkin mercenaries to cleanse a Maiden World of Inquisitor Dartorian's motley crusaders, The Bound Prince Krungkor and his vassal Weaselbound rend the ethereal veil to revel in the slaughter of all."

 

 

Thanks for a great event, all!

 

Cheers,

 

The Good Doctor.

I'm setting a deadline of the end of the day Friday for extra pictures, as I intend to put together the candidates for voting next weekend.  So, in order to give your models the best chance in the voting, please post the best picture you can of your favorite model (if you haven't already - if you have, thank you) by the end of the week.  Note, if you don't provide new pictures, you are still in the running - I'll just be making my decisions based on the photos already posted, but that may prevent me from selecting models/units whose pictures doesn't focus on that particular model or unit.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Thank you to everyone who provided me with additional photos - they were all much appreciated.

 

I have now set up polls with all my semi-finalistis in the Admin/Mods subforum for them to vote on to determine the top 3 to run off for Stronghold Artificer.  That process should be done next weekend, at which point I will put up polls in the WIP subforum for general membership voting.   I will obviously post links here when that happens.

 

Good luck to the many talented artists whose models are in the running.

I have unpinned the Stronghold threads now that voting has commenced to avoid clogging up the WIP forum pinned topics.
