That said, after that would be fine too, though with the risk that they won't be useful for that process.

firestorm40k Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Not quite as good a picture as I'd hoped to get, but here's a pic of everything I painted - both of my vows 65 miniatures in total - the most I've ever pledged and painted for a Call to Arms event I'm very grateful that taking part in this event has enabled me to get the bulk of this army painted - I feel like I've 'broke the back' of this project. All I have left are Skorpekhs, Flayed Ones, some characters and a couple of vehicles - then it's done. Thanks again to @Dr_Ruminahui for running the event this year! And we'll done to everyone who has taken part - it's been great to see so many people making progress with their hobby projects Mike Zulu, Shard of Magnus, Grotsmasha and 4 others 4 2 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385992-call-to-arms-2025-xenos-stronghold/page/7/#findComment-6132795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvereyes Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I want to apologise for failing the challenge. Partly because of real life getting in the way, but also really struggling to put the time and effort into painting. It's so easy to promise something, than it is to actually fulfill that promise.

AvePicante Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Small correction to my full pledge post, I did not include my E Champ or Sagitaur from pledge 1. Oops.

AvePicante Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 If I were to select my one best model from this bunch, it's probably my Sagitaur. Love how this turned out!

Bouargh Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) Hi Folks, A familly protrait of all my production for this CtA25's season. 3 vows in this Stronghold, all associated to Drukhari. Seen the rumored Codex (leaked) datasheet, these units will likely be mostly used in my Ynnari force. My favourite model out of this production is the Wytches' Raider. A long time imagined modification of the model to taxi these arenas' evil weirdoes: edit: scenery is NOT part of CtA25 Edited September 21 by Bouargh firestorm40k, Shard of Magnus, Dr. Clock and 3 others 4 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385992-call-to-arms-2025-xenos-stronghold/page/7/#findComment-6132972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Clock Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 My full Call to Arms compilation 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." Unfortunately, this pic was taken without the single dragon ogre I painted for the Weasels as well... I thought he was here, but he was in a box of Khorne stuff that's now offsite. Still - nice to see these all collected in one place for a moment before they go off on their own separate journies to *checks notes* 6 of my armies. Good times! Cheers, The Good Doctor.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted September 22 Author Share Posted September 22 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. firestorm40k, Rusted Boltgun and Alby the Slayer 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385992-call-to-arms-2025-xenos-stronghold/page/7/#findComment-6133269 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Ruminahui Posted September 27 Author Share Posted September 27 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. firestorm40k, zulu.tango, Rusted Boltgun and 2 others 1 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385992-call-to-arms-2025-xenos-stronghold/page/7/#findComment-6133976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alby the Slayer Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Since the Imgur is not longer visible for the UK Fraters, as suggested, I created an album right here for this event and will do that for every future project of mine.
