To facilitate that, please post your best picture of your favorite painted model or unit that you did for the Xenos Stronghold in this Call to Arms - it will make my job much easier.

 

Any specific timeline for this? I have a lightbox coming tomorrow so I can take better pics, and my nasty desk can stay out of the pictures

By Monday would be great, as I intend to start going through the various photos next week to chose my favourites.  That said, after that would be fine too, though with the risk that they won't be useful for that process.

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

My fave from this Stronghold:

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.

Small correction to my full pledge post, I did not include my E Champ or Sagitaur from pledge 1. Oops. Here's a shot of everything

[AvePicante]

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

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

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.

A little focus on the characters of Krist'hel retinue and herself plus some details on the project.

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.

Like any doting father, I love all my Boyz equally. But this one gets a photo
