The Call to Arms 2026

ASTARTES STRONGHOLD

 

Time to bust out those brushes and paints and stand ready to represent your Forum/s of choice and aid them on the path to claim Victory!!!!

 

 

What is The Call to Arms, I hear you ask?

 

The Call to Arms is a multi-forum event designed to  encourage us all to start a new army, or bolster our current forces.

 

The Forums of the B&C are divided up into five Strongholds;

 

The Astartes Stronghold

• Adeptus Astartes
• Black Templars
• Blood Angels
• Dark Angels
• Space Wolves
• Ultramarines
• Grey Knights
• Deathwatch (note, Deathwatch models can be vowed either in the Astartes or Imperium Strongholds)

 

The Imperium Stronghold

• Adepta Sororitas
• Adeptus Mechanicus
• Astra Militarum
• Imperial Knights
• Talons of the Emperor
• The Imperium of Mankind
• Deathwatch (note, Deathwatch models can be vowed either in the Astartes or Imperium Strongholds)

 

The Chaos Stronghold

• Chaos Daemons
• Chaos Knights
• Heretic Astartes
• Death Guard
• Emperor's Children
• Thousand Sons
• World Eaters
• The Realm of Chaos

 

The Xenos Stronghold

• Aeldari
• Drukhari
• Genestealer Cults
• Leagues of Votann
• Necrons
• Orks
• T'au Empire
• Tyranids

 

The Heresy Stronghold

• Age of Darkness
• Epic Scaled Heresy Games

 

These five Strongholds will act as the hub for each of the five main Factions, and will for the 3 Month duration of the Call to Arms, run independently of the four other Strongholds. At the end of the 3 months, the five Strongholds will face off, and overall winners will be declared.

 

Dates

 

Start Date: 15th JUNE 2026

End Date: 15th SEPTEMBER 2026

(Timezone will be GMT -8 [so, North American Pacific Coast time], please make local adjustments for time)

 

 

So, how is it all going to work?

 

1.   As each of the Strongholds are treated independently (except for final rankings), you may choose to focus within a single Stronghold, or participate in several. Your Vows will be treated independently in each Stronghold, meaning a Failed Vow in one Stronghold will NOT effect Vows in the other Strongholds.

 

2.  Models pledged to a Stronghold must come from the army books associated with those Forums covered by each Stronghold. The exceptions to this are 30K/40K scale Titans and models not associated with a given faction (such as Necromunda models and terrain), which may be pledged to any Stronghold.

 

3.  You may join in any of the Strongholds at any time within the 3 Month time-frame of The Call to Arms.

 

4.  For each Stronghold, you have a MAXIMUM of 3 Vows.  For each of these vows, you must finish your active vow before pledging to a second or third vow.  In addition, there are the following additional vows:

 

       a)  Job's a Big'Un:  you can vow a model with a value of 10 or more points, which you can work can work on alongside your other vows and complete at any time.

 

       b)  Rapid Deployment: this vow can be for any number of points and can be made at any time even if you have an uncompleted vow.  However it must be completed before completing any other vows (including any Job's a Big'Un vow).

 

5.  Once recorded, Vows may not be altered, however special considerations may be made upon request.

 

6.  There is no minimum pledge, you may vow 1 model, or your entire collection, but beware, failing ANY vow in a Stronghold will invalidate ALL completed vows for that Stronghold.

 

 

How do I join in?

 

Each model has a point value based upon its size, and the comparative amount of effort and time it takes to paint said model, listed below are are the points-per-model.  More specific lists can be found in each Forums Rally Point thread, but I've added some generic examples below,

 

1/2pts  GW provided markers and token (for example, teleport homers, eldar shrine tokens, mine tokens, grot orderlies, squig bombs, etc.)

1pt   Infantry

2pts   Cavalry/Bikers

3pts   Heavy Weapons Teams / Walkers (Dreadnaughts, Sentinels)

4pts   Skimmers / Light Vehicles (Landspeeders, ATV, Armigers)

5pts   Small Tanks (Leman Russ, Rhino Variants)

6pts   Large Tanks (Rogal Dorn, Sicaran, Land Raider)

8pts   Superheavies (Baneblades etc) 

10pts  Imperial Knight etc

 

Characters

5pts   Leader/Character models

10pts Primarchs

 

Note 1: Characters with Retinue, I.E. Saint Celestine.  The Leader model is worth 5pts, the other models are pointed as to their type - for example, Saint Celestine and her bodyguard would be 7 points - 5 for the Saint (leader), 1 each for her 2 seraphim buddies.

 

Note 2: "Named" models are only characters for Call to Arms if they have the character keyword (or equivalent) in their game rules.  For example, the named models in the Wardens of Ultramar, while Epic Heroes, do not have the character keyword and are not characters for this event.

 

30K/40K Scale Titans

20pts Warhound Titan 

30pts Reaver Titan 

40pts  Warbringer Titan

50pts Warlord Titan

 

Terrain

1pt    3 Munitorum Barrels, 4 Munitorum Crates, Zone Mortalis/Gallowdark Column, Octarius Ramshackle Bridges

2pts   Aegis Defence Line Section, Aegis Defence Platform, Galvanic Servo-haulers, Thermic Plasma Conduit Section, Imperialis Ruins Wall Section, Zone Mortalis/Gallowdark Wall, Octarius Scrap Heap/Barricade

3pts   Fronteris Vox Antenna, Fronteris Auspex Shrine, Thermo-exchanger Shrine, Octarius Oil Rig, Necromunda Fuel Tanks

4pts   Munitorum Container, Mechanicus Transterranic Gantry, Galvanic Servo-crane, Big'ead Bossbunka, Skull Alter, Noctilith Crown, Octarius Ramshackle Walls

5pts   Tidewall Droneport, Tidewall Shieldline, Feculant Gnarlmaw, Miasmic Malignifier

6pts   Fronteris Landing Pad, Mechanicus Forgeshrine, Mechanicus Galvanic Magnavent

8pts   Fronteris Hab Bunker, Manufactorum Administratus,

10pts Zone Mortalis Gang Stronghold

 

Note: Custom/Scratchbuilt terrain- use this list as a guide as to how many points tour terrain is worth, but please make sure to mention your terrain is custom when Vowing.

 

Subfactions

 

In any Stronghold in which you have vowed, you have to choose which SUBFACTION you support with your vows.  This Subfaction must be one of the appropriate subfactions (listed above) for that Stronghold, and is chosen at the time of your first vow in a Stronghold (though may be changed upon request).

 

NOTE: Your chosen Subfaction doesn't have to correspond to your vowed models, although it typically does - for example, if you support the Blood Angels subfaction you can still paint Space Wolves or Ultramarines as part of your Astartes Stronghold vows.

 

How to Vow

 

Please make your vows in this thread in the following format;

 

"I, {insert username}, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint {insert units/models} for {xxx pts} for the Glory of the {Subfaction name} and the {Stronghold name} Stronghold on or before 15th September 2025, or bear the badge of failure until year's end."

 

In addition, please indicate if you vow as a Young Blood or if it contains an entry for the Master of Forge (see below for both).

 

For example:

 

"I, Dr Ruminahui, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 5 crusaders, a converted Chaplain, Mephiston and a Necromunda Fuel Tanks for 19 pts for the Glory of the Black Templars and the Astartes Stronghold on or before September 15th, or bear the badge of failure until year's end.

 

The converted Chaplain is my entry for the Master of the Forge."

 

The post that contains your Vow must include starting pictures that contain all the models from the Vow.

Starting models may be in any of the following conditions;

• In the box
• On the Sprue
• Assembled
• Single Colour Primed
• Sub-assemblies primed in different colours will be acceptable, I.E. chassis in Leadbelcher, with armour plates in secondary colour.

Additionally, you may pledge models you have not yet received I.E. Warhammer: Imperium Subscription, just make sure a image is edited in to your Vow post once you've received the models, and make a post indicating that you have done so.

 

Your Vow is considered complete when you declare it so, and post completed pictures of all models contained within the Vow. Although "Complete" is to your own standard, we would like you to aim for GW's "Battle Ready", with the miniatures based. If basing is something you don't do, or won't be doing within the Event's timeline, please return the bases to flat black or brown.

 

Required Completion Pictures: Each vow completion must contain pictures of all completed models - either in the form of a "group" photo or of each model/unit individually.  Indeed, both is recommended, as the group photo really shows off your progress, and the individual photos best show your hard work and facilitates choosing candidates for best painted.  All completed entries for Master of the Forge (see below) must have their own photos.

 

Once you have made your vow, pop this badge of Participation into your Signature:

 

 

 

Will there be badges?

 

Yes!!  There will be Badges awarded for various achievements during the event - many members put the badges they have earned in their signatures.  Note, these are separate and different from the ranks and achievements tracked by the forum software.

 

Badges are awarded for the following:
 

Event Failed: Servitor

1-9 points: Completed

10-24 points: Veteran
25-44 points  Sergeant
45-76 points:  Lieutenant
75-99 points:  Captain
100+ points:  Chapter Master

Princeps - Awarded to all completed 30K/40K scale Titans 
[Stronghold] Champion - Awarded to the member who individually paints the most points worth of models in the Stronghold

Champions of the Horde - The Subfaction with the highest overall points worth of models in a Stronghold

Champion of the Call - The Subfaction that has the Highest Participation vs. Completion Percentage in a Stronghold.

 

 

As to the overall competition between the Strongholds, there will also be Badges awarded for the following;

 

Masters of the Horde - The Stronghold that completes the highest overall points worth of models.

Masters of the Call - The Stronghold that has the Highest Participation vs. Completion Percentage.

Grand Marshall - Individual with the Most Points of Models Painted across all Strongholds.

 

 

Finally, the following will be chosen by vote by the members:

 

Favourite Young Blood - This category is for participants who have been building and/or painting models for less than 12 months.  Anyone wishing to participate as A Young Blood will need to specifically declare that are are doing so when making their Vows.

 

Artificer - Top 3 best painted models from each Stronghold, chosen from a selection of models from the Stronghold made by the forum Moderators, Administrators and Librarians. 

 

[Stronghold] Artificer - Best painted model/unit for each Stronghold, chosen by the members from the 3 Artificers for the Stronghold.

Master of the Forge - Best Conversion or Kit-bash. Anyone wishing to participate for the Master of the Forge Badge will need to specifically declare that they are doing so when they vow the model.  Each member can only submit one model/unit

 

Master Artificer - Best painted model/unit for Call to Arms 2026, as chosen between the 5 Stronghold Artificers.

 

That's it, you've done it, you've made it to the end!!!

 

 

If you have any questions or queries, contact me,  @Dr_Ruminahui and I'll be more than happy to help you out.

 

 

F.A.Q.s

 

Q- If I have models with different coloured heads or shoulder pads, can they be primed different colours IE. Black templars or Eldar Guardians?

A- Yes, this is acceptable.

 

Q- I want to paint Traitor Guard, is there a way to pledge them to Chaos?

A- Yes, for the purposes of Traitor Guard, the Astra Militarum units may be pledged to Chaos. The Realm of Chaos is the most appropriate forum.

 

Q- Are 3D prints allowed?

A- Yes, as long as they are board appropriate, 3D prints can be pledged to the Call to Arms. Use the points associated with the unit they represent.

 

 

THIS THREAD WILL REMAIN LOCKED UNTIL JUNE 15, 2026, AT WHICH TIME VOWS MAY COMMENCE.  

 

In the meantime, please continue to use the main announcement thread and the Faction rally points to discuss your participation and to ask questions.

The minis will be based and detachable from the diorama base (don't know if that is some points too)

 

Good luck with your projects everyone!

 

Awesome!

@Alby the Slayer - I'm not sure how you did your math, but 15 characters is 75 points, not 45.  And yes, if that archway is the base you are referring to, I'll give you 2 points for the base.  Am I correct to assume your Astartes vows are for is for the Astartes sub-faction (so, not one of the "their own codex" subfactions)?

 

@Halandaar - My math comes out to 50, not 45 points (see the Participants post) - let me know if I'm right or if I overcounted somewhere.

 

@Dwango - My math comes out to 69, not 67 points (see the Participants post) - let me know if I'm right or if I overcounted somewhere.

@Dr_Ruminahui I counted the dreadknights as 4pts each, should they be 5pts each?

No you're quite right, when I drafted the vow I only had one Captain, but found the old one from Indomitus in a box and added that to the vow without updating the points total. Thanks!

They are characters, I think, so they are 5 points - that's what they are valued in the list I inherited from Grotsmasha, in the Gray Knights Rally Point.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

@Karhedron - My total for your points value comes out at 46, not 48 points (see my Participants post for my math).  As well, I'll need a photo of your actual unpainted models and not just a GW promotional photo of part of it.

 

@kabaakaba - My total comes out to 14 points, not 18.  I've valued the ruin at 6 points, as it seems closest in size to the GW terrain of that value.  As well, is your pledge for the general astartes subfaction?
