=] Call to Arms 2025 - CHAOS STRONGHOLD [=

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Finished my second lord exaltant, and have now based all my models.

 

 

You can see more pics of him and my other based models here.

 

Working on my rhino now, which is the last model for my vow - so I'm still on track to finish my vow by next Monday.

[gaurdian31]

Doing a great job everybody! Got my vow complete:

And a group shot of my 3 HQs:

As always this was a fun event. Life got a bit in the way so I didn't end up vowing everything I wanted but I am happy to have completed what I did vow. 

[Tallarn Commander]

Nice to see the completions and works in progress. 

 

I finished chipping blue and adding oil washes to Yemelina's Lament, my counts-as Traitor Guard Defiler.

Turret Interior

I try not to think about how many coats of white it took to paint the interior.  

 

Peeking inside the turret ring on the inside of the vehicle

 

 

 

The next step is to wait for the oils to dry. While waiting I'll work on Yemelina's banner, some tank shells and shell casings, and the interior of the turret.

 

Keep up the good work everyone!

I'm still hanging on - and I am going to finish, although it's been slow going recently, partially due to rl stuff, partially due to a natural inclination to laziness when it comes to painting boils on Plaguebearers...

I did manage to finish painting boils on all the riders for the Plague Drones just now, though.  So it should be relatively smooth sailing from hereon out. The Medium Unclean One has roughly a milllion billion boils too, but I'm already roughly halfway through, so it should be ok.

I'd tentatively nominate myself for a "Most boils painted during event"-award, but otoh I don't think I'd actually want any trophies associated with such a title, so...

It might be tedious, but from an appearance point-of-view, it's worth it

Thanks! And yeah, while painting them all in three steps (pale sand, carroburg crimson, sun yellow) takes a lot of time and is pretty boring, I find it really makes them (look ready to) pop. So I’m not regretting the time spent at all - if anything, I’m regretting all the procrastination leading up to it 

[Scion]

Okay, all the colours are done! A final sloppy oil wash to finish up.

How's everyone else doing?

 

 

[Antarius]

Doing ok-ish here. We've got visitors over the weekend, so I'm not getting a lot done today, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to finish tomorrow or monday (afaict, the deadline is actually 8am on tuesday here in northern Europe, so there's "plenty" of time).

[Tallarn Commander]

It's great seeing everybody's work.

 

I should be able to finish my pledge by tomorrow  [knocks on wood].

 

 

Here is my Defiler's banner that  I finished yesterday.

 

 My free hand is not the best. Hopefully you can guess what the image is supposed to represent.

Spoiler

It's supposed to be Baba Yaga's Hut.

 

 

Good luck with completing your pledges everyone!

 

 

 

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Much to my relief, I no longer have to worry about failing at my own event - because my vow is now complete!

 

Here is the final piece, my rhino, done.

 

 

And all of it together.

 

[Scion]

Same here! no more worries about failing and not even a last night ditch attempt at finishing my vow, i'm improving!

I present my Kytan Daemon Engine of Khorne! 
 

 

And with this I conclude my vow for the chaos daemons faction!

 

 

As always it was a pleasure watching everyone's work and dedication to our hobby. Hope to see more awesome finishers!

24 HOURS LEFT TO SUBMIT COMPLETED VOWS!

[Teetengee]

Well, I'm not going to get things done to the standard I had hoped to (spent way too much time on my stormvermin and had some life get in the way), but gonna try to paint all night to get things done to at least a 3color/tabletop standard by the deadline. Wish me luck!

[Teetengee]

Granted, I do think the stormvermin are very pretty

 

[Agnostic Doggo]

So posted a complete vow in the Chaos Knights's thread and then saw the heading saying to post vows in here

 

So to post it here:

 

Vow Complete! 
14 Wardogs (various weapons swapable) and Tyrant

Editted to move images into spoilers

[Antarius]

Damn, that's a lot of knights! Beautifully done, too!!

Nearing completion here, but it'll likely still be a few hours before I can call it done. Best of luck to everybody who's racing to meet the deadline!

[Antarius]

Okay, I'm calling it now. Vow Complete!
More (and hopefully much better) pictures to follow tomorrow, when the sun is out.

May the Chaos Gods smile on all those of you still fighting!
Keep up the good work - I believe in you

Great work everyone! Those still working, you got this!

[Tallarn Commander]

Excellent work everyone! Huzzah!

 

 

I'm calling Yemelina's Lament done! My counts as Traitor Guard Defiler is now ready to crush the Corpse Worshippers.

Yemelina, the witch who powers the daemon engine

She is psychically chained to the beast. A fact which is her greatest joy and her greatest lament.

At some point I'll take my dremel and square out the cuts.

The turret top is magnetized. Here are some shots of the turret interior.

Yemelina's Lament, seen here on the desert world of Gorhast IV

She is seen here on patrol with infantry from 5th Squad, Alpha Company; the Eye of Chaos Scout Sentinel; and the Traitor Guard Russ Eponymous Reaver.

 

 

I thought the turret would sit a bit lower down and be more protected from incoming fire. Now any enemy round can just penetrate directly into the turret. At some point I'll have to cover up the gap between the bottom of the turret and the vehicle's top deck. That will provide more protection for the crew. 

 

 

Enjoy the photos!

 

 

 

 

Good luck everyone!

I am calling it done as well. My hand almost gave up, but it looks like I still got some life left in my. So,

 

VOW COMPLETE.

 

The marines are 4 colours, black base, as needed, but I am afraid I omitted doing highlights and the bases, as it would take me out of schedule. Clearer pictures will follow, of course. Want to thank my wife, caffeine and my dog, who kept providing me with more hair in my wet palette than I care to admit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gaurdian31]

Great work both of you! @Tallarn Commander the defiler is great and I am happy to know that the banner referenced what I thought it did. It looks spot on to me! @WBRBloomSorry to hear about your hand but what you finished looks really good. Love your Daemon Prince and everyone else!
