Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted December 23, 2025 Share Posted December 23, 2025 I swear, every single time I sign up for some kind of challenge, life jumps up and smacks me. Definitely not going to make the deadline. :( Valkia the Bloody, Bouargh, Dr_Ruminahui and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386908-jokaero-challenge-2025/page/5/#findComment-6147918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Boltgun Posted December 24, 2025 Share Posted December 24, 2025 Hardwired...to self-destruct! The Hlaves (Human Slaves) The captives ere subject to horrific surgery, their exposed crania violated with dirty wiring and their limbs now operating under someone else's control. With weapons glued to their hand and fingers wrapped around triggers, they rush towards their own kind no matter the fire directed towards them. As they reach their former comrades, unable to voice the warnings they scream in their heads, fingers are released from dead man switches.... Who could be behind such atrocities? Such fiendish skullsduggery? The answer will require more kitbashing. Perhaps @Valkia the Bloody would run this challenge again in 2026? Thanks to our hosts for running this and to everyone who has taken part. I had a blast putting these minis together (the idea had been swilling around for a while, they are part of a homebrew Kill Team), painting them and seeing all the other creations take shape in this thread.

The model was created during the appointed time, just share it with us here (I like the creativity of it, by the way, the little demon with the gun looks like he is having fun). sitnam 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386908-jokaero-challenge-2025/page/5/#findComment-6148677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitnam Posted December 28, 2025 Share Posted December 28, 2025 @Valkia the Bloody Thanks! I cut his arm at the elbow and used a Crypt Guard arm with a Cawdor pistol. I was gonna give him a CSM head, but I found some old Pink Horror bodies I used for the tentacles and got a bit crazy with it Dr_Ruminahui, Dwango, Lathe Biosas and 8 others 5 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386908-jokaero-challenge-2025/page/5/#findComment-6148684 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkia the Bloody Posted December 31, 2025 Author Share Posted December 31, 2025 Right! So we are nearing the completion of the event! If I count correctly, we have so far 13 completed entries. Please have a look at the very first post of this thread- I tried to keep up to date with completions, but if I have missed any of you, please let me know! About the deadline of the event- since I am from Germany, my New Years Day will be in advance of many of the members on the American continents. To enable a few more last minute completions, let us just be lenient and last minute completions will also be allowed for New Years day. And let us be honest- I will sleep in for New Years Day anyways (no work), so will not check for any late / early morning completions. I hope this will be fine with everyone. When all completions are in, there will be a poll for the best entries. This will be set up in the upcoming days in the new year. Everyone who completed at least one entry will have the honor of wearing a participation patch. Since this was a fun event, I am planning on doing this again in 2026. Next time, we might start earlier in the year and have a longer running time. I still have a box with an Imperial Knight here (bought more than 5 years ago) and I already have plans to "Night-Lord-ify" the knight with bat swarms, lots of skulls and gore- so doing this event again will help motivate me to finally get the project going. So everyone who did not finish this year will have another chance next year. I hope you all had fun and I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Tallarn Commander Posted December 31, 2025 Share Posted December 31, 2025 Hello everyone, it's been great watching your work progress on your creative miniatures. I have completed Zorzi, Bezerker relaxing. Sadly, there was a scuffle between 2 cats on my painting table. As a result, poor Zorzi took a tumble to the floor and Zorzi's original tea mug was lost to the carpet. I had to assemble and paint an ad hoc mug that is not as nice. Additional photos of Zorzi Spoiler WiP photo of Zorzi And I might sometimes blue tac Zorzi onto my Defiler, Blood Golem, when I use it Perhaps Zorzi likes to read Edgar Allen Poe stories aloud to the daemon engine while he sips his cup of tea. Happy New Year everyone!

Trokair Posted December 31, 2025 Share Posted December 31, 2025 (edited) Happy New Year to everybody (as applicable in the last/next few hours) and nice work on all your conversion, was realy interesting to see. Thank you Valkia the Bloody for running the event and I for one would be up for joining another one. Heavy weapon team conversion complete, and I even managed to paint the two additional teams (HB and AC).

Dr_Ruminahui Posted Thursday at 06:37 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:37 AM (edited) Well, done mine just in time local time (but not for Germany), so thank you for the extension @Valkia the Bloody. Anyway, they aren't based, but I plan to do that tomorrow. If its alright with Valkia, I'll swap in that picture once the bases have dried - if not, that's fine too. They are now based, and pics have been swapped - thanks Valkia. Here are my tormentors: And from the back.
