=] Call to Arms Sub-Event: Angels of Death [=

[Grotsmasha]

 

This year with the ASTARTES gaining their own Stronghold within the Call to Arms, @Jolemai and @Grotsmasha are running a sub-event, and are inviting all members of the 1st and 9th Legions to face off against one another to claim first Victory within the ASTARTES Stronghold.

 

Welcome to Call to Arms 25: Angels of Death Event

 

HOW WILL IT WORK?

As a supplementary event to the Call to Arms, you'll need to first participate in the Call to Arms Astartes or Heresy Strongholds before being able to pledge here. The Victors will be decided by the points earned in the Astares and Heresy Strongholds themselves PLUS any additional points earned for completing the Challenges below. You may simply quote your Vows and Completions from the Call to Arms Strongholds here in the Dark Angels Event Thread.

 

Additionally, there are a few Challenges / Badges unique to the Angels of Death Event, with which you may earn additional points within this Event (these points WILL NOT count towards Call to Arms Stronghold totals).

Is this still a thing?  Do we just literally copy/paste our call to arms vows here?

Yep, exactly

 

Normally, I'd have been first one out of the gate, but unfortunately had to pack up my entire hobby room last week. Hoping to get back in action before the end of the event.

Phone is busted, will post a pic when I bought a new one. Or since only the terminators aren't eligible:
Should learn how to read. Quoted original post:

"I, Raeven, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint  for 35 points (36 if you count the beacon) for the Glory of the Dark Angels and the Astartes Stronghold on or before 15th September 2025, or bear the badge of failure until year's end."
 

For 5 points each:

• Terminator Captain 
• Terminator Librarian
• Gravis Captain
• Gravis Biologis
• Ancient
• Chaplain
• Squad of Terminator

 

Got a couple questions:
- Is there a place where one can find this Retro scheme? Interested in painting up some of my HH-bulk or some of my HQ's.
- Does the Leviathan Ancient count as a sculpted banner? (The skeleton popsicle)

I'll post some pics from the Codex, but think 2nd Ed and Goblin Green bases
