Morticon Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Greets guys! So, JamesI and myself have a mission for those parties interested in helping out. As noted in the "where have the old posters gone" thread, there is usually a LOT of repetition in threads and questions that doesn't really aid the constructiveness of anything - it also serves to get older posters more and more frustrated. James and I have been meaning to work on a special thread of BA resources, with lots of hyperlinks which will be new players/posters' first course of action for searching. Unfortunately time constraints of real life plus managing/modding the forum make it tough to do all the ground work for this. So..thats where you guys come in. I'm gonna post up a list of topics that most of you will recognise. What we need to do is find a bunch of links to those topics - at which point James and myself will copy em in and format em up into a nice shiny resource thread that will be stickied. Thats pretty much it!! Help if you can/want! Thanks in advance! Topics: HQ Honour Guard ELITE Priests Terminators Sternguard Sang Guard Furiosos TROOPS Tactical Squads Assault Squads Scouts FAST Bikes Scout Bikes Attack Bikes Speeders Vanguard Vets Baals HEAVY Preds Dreads Vindies Whirlies Devastator Squds OTHER TACTICS/Dicussions: Drop Pods Land Raiders Mech/Razor Spam All JP lists Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218378-blood-angel-resource-project/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Mort, if i understand properly you guys want to (and ask us to help) make tacticas for each unit that a question arises on. if a topic already excists (most likely on many cases) were to provide a link towards it in the hopes that the same topics wont be repeated a bazillion times. correct?

Zeller Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 What he's asking is for us to use our searchfu and track down these wiley links and organize them so they can be put into this resource project. For example, you could round up all threads about Sanguinary Guard and do your best to isolate the most helpful and content-packed threads from that Sanguinary Guard topic.

Demoulius Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 dang, cant be much help then...my search-fu is weak :( i could write an article on tactical marines and the awesomeness that is the sang priest (if none still excists to this date :rolleyes: ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218378-blood-angel-resource-project/#findComment-2604050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Yup! What Zellar said!! Dem, step two would be adding to the existing resources with what you are talking about and then also filling in the gaps!

Gv0zD Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 So are we to provide links from all over the net, or pick up B&C threads to reorganize them to prevent posting the already discussed topics?

Morticon Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 So are we to provide links from all over the net, or pick up B&C threads to reorganize them to prevent posting the already discussed topics? Initially from the BnC! But, anything that is vetted and considered to be helpful enough to the community and hosted at a place that is acceptable by BnC standards should be good to go! :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218378-blood-angel-resource-project/#findComment-2604065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plague Angel Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I'll get started on this as soon as New Year's festivities are done. Also, do you want links PM'd or posted here? Posted here makes more sense to me so you don't get the same links messaged over and over again....

SnorriSnorrison Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Like Demoulius, I could add an article in step number 2, favouring the Sanguinary Guard. Of course, only if a tactica article is not found during the search and only if needed. :rolleyes: Good call, by the way.

Gv0zD Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'll start with a few links, dedicated to BA most notable unit - Death Company, and its questionable value in the latest C:BA Death Company, Is it a must-have unit? Death company worth his points ? The answers provide here sometimes duplicate each other, but overall these threads provide a great deal of DC variations and players' experience with this unit. Another questionable topic, regarding DC is Defining the quantity of DC Dreads, Is Lemmy a DC model?, this is a pretty specialized question, but it caused a hot debate in my local community, so a general consensus would also be useful for both newbies and veterans.

Zeller Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 When you're posting a reply just above the chat box there is a row of icons. Among these icons you will see a yellow smiley face, a strange green plus sign whoosing, and a chat bubble. Click on the green whooshing thing and it will bring up a prompt box. This box is a 2 part process. First insert the URL you have found. Click "OK". Then it will ask you to give the link a label which is how we will read it in your post. The red arrow is pointing to the symbol I'm referring to. http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9181/bncpostingpicspic.th.png For example, I took your vanguard vets link and turned it into "Vanguard Vets Successes?" using the URL you provided.

jimbo1701 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'd be happy to write something if you guys want - just allocate something to me. I have a nice 3 page (word doc) article I wrote on death company and which combos to take with them if that's any use - it's quite concise yet covers all the options available, pros and cons and mathhammer.
