Fellow lords of the dark forges,
The fires of industry burn eternal, but alas, the Gray Curse lingers in our workshops! For too long have the unpainted legions languished, their potential wasted, their bases bare. It is time to stoke the flames, summon forth the Daemons of Completion, and hammer the gray tide into submission!
Join us in this year’s grim campaign: “Gray Matter No More: War against the gray 2025!” This endeavor, as darkly ambitious as a Chaos Dwarf sorcerer ascending to stonehood, calls upon you to rise against your unpainted hordes and claim glory in the name of the Father of Darkness!
The Plan of Forgecraft:
- Starting Point: As the bell tolls midnight on January 1, 2025, your net score is reset to a resounding 0. No skulking, no excuses—every unpainted soul counts!
- Acquisitions: Each new thrall conscripted to your collection adds +1 to your score. (Yes, even the Hobgoblins.)
- Completions: Each model forged, painted, and imbued with life subtracts -1 from your score. Strike hard and true!
- Consistency: Maintain a strict tally—no cutting corners or shaving points. The Dawi Zharr do not abide sloppiness!
- Documentation: Record your victories and setbacks alike in the Daemonforge Spreadsheet, updated and ready for your dark machinations.
- Showcase: Chronicle your conquests in a dedicated BATG thread, complete with tales of triumph and images of your enslaved (painted) minions.
Rewards of the Forge:
No great endeavor is without reward! Prove your might, and these badges of infernal honor could be yours:
Badges of Chaos Glory
Gray Forge: Paint just one model more than you acquire, and you’ve taken the first step on the dark path (-1 score).
Bronze Forge: Achieve the mighty feat of forging 25 more than you recruit (-25 score).
Silver Forge: Double the toil, double the reward! Forge 50 beyond what you muster (-50 score).
Golden Anvil: Paint 100 models more than you acquire—an achievement worthy of Zharr Naggrund itself (-100 score).
Blackshard Forge: The ultimate accolade. Forge 200 models into painted perfection, leaving mere mortals in awe (-200 score).
Why Join the Daemonforge Initiative?
Because unpainted models serve no purpose in the great schemes of Chaos! They clutter your workspace and shame your infernal dynasty. Only by painting them can you truly unleash their destructive potential upon the Mortal Realms!
Gather your paints, sharpen your brushes, and summon forth your daemonic will. The unpainted hordes will kneel before your mastery—or be banished to the void!
May Hashut’s flames guide your hand and your brushes never falter!
