Chaplain Admetus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Bah! Too slow... was considering starting Novamarines a while back (a few test minis) and this would have given me just the push I needed. Next time, Gadget, next time!

dirge caster Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm happy for Brother Keyaetus to start Tiger Claws if no-one else has any objections.

A D-B Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I've trawled through my bitz box, which is a vast hive of spikes, horned helmets, and eight-pointed stars. However, I found this: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8164/7119486443_445ed23bb4.jpg The Minotaurs aren't exactly noted for their use of Scouts (seeing as they accelerate training to produce Marines quicker than most), but as I'm a huge fan of Scouts, I'll see how that goes. As soon as my royalties clear this month, I'll get a Forge World order on the go, for transfers and shoulder pads. I probably won't end up using the named Minotaur character in IA10, but rather my own Captain getting thrown into the mix. I'm all kinds of on board, if we're also doing fluff for army lists, characters, squad choices, or whatever. The pretty generous time frame coupled with the small numbers of models makes this possible for me, so thanks again to Dirge Caster for the initiative.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 You 'found' them? Were they perhaps located on the nearest GW shelf? ;) I've got no issues with him starting the Tiger Claws at all, by the way. I think I'm definitely going to have Culln and Loth, simply because I love the models. Beyond that, I have no clue currently, but I'll try and come up with something tonight.

Brother Keyaetus Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thats some bits box you must have if you found unused boxes in there. Well if im able to have the tiger claws then Ill get started on that order tonight. Was considering using the space wolves box for the pelts and such (tiger pelts) its just I aint sure if that is a theme they used or not. Edit: Actually, after looking through the space wolves sprues on the GW site, I think there may not be enough 'normal' parts in it, runes and wolf icons may be in abundance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251453-a-tale-of-17-gamers/page/3/#findComment-3049210 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaosLord Leon Enaek Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yep, that's the one thank you, Chapter Master Ignis Domus, they'd be great if you could post them please :-) Thank you!

Edit: Actually, after looking through the space wolves sprues on the GW site, I think there may not be enough 'normal' parts in it, runes and wolf icons may be in abundance There aren't too many pelts in there. I'd say Green Stuffing it is your best bet. It's relatively easy to make nice looking fur. Enaek, unfortunately, I only have one conversion link for him specifically. It's in Ebay, so I'll PM you the link. Kaeyatus, no one seems to be against it, so I'd say go for it. I've found a possible scheme based off my Wolf scheme, and have been trying to get it to work. It keeps coming out too bright or too dark, though. I think I'm closing in on it, though. Meanwhile, I'm probably going to use the siege assault list as my basis.

Grimdarkness Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Oh boy. This should be fun a quartered scheme with yellow and red/orange. So a combat squad by when again?

The pretty generous time frame coupled with the small numbers of models makes this possible for me, so thanks again to Dirge Caster for the initiative. To be honest, I'm in a similar situation. I have boxes of Rhino's and Razorbacks and marines that are still shrink wrapped in boxes. I just hoard, and refuse to assemble too much, as I'm sick of my 'grey' armies. Though ironically I'm now painting a grey army. Go figure....

Grimdarkness Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I think he said end of month, and any five models. This month as in april as in 3 days to the end of the month? great now I have to dig out the cave to find my stuff.

This month as in april as in 3 days to the end of the month? great now I have to dug out the cave to find my stuff. To clarify - the original post states: Last day of May I don't want to impose too many rules and restrictions but I would ask that the first squad of 5 marines be completed by the last day of May. If you like the idea then let me know which chapter you would like to build. Let's go.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Sadly, I just assembled my newest tournament winnings, which mainly consisted of a load of marine junk, so I won't be able to put pretty Forge World things on them. Hopefully the order will get here in time. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251453-a-tale-of-17-gamers/page/3/#findComment-3049383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleshoes Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I feel bad for those who can't join in, why be so exclusive? Why not change it to a Tale of Badab gamers and allow any one who wants in to join us? That would be a really good idea, and with the 5 model goal per month, I think there is far, far more support here than just the 17 gamers. A Tale of Badab Gamers should be re-thought and made a little more open, rather than the current 17 participants. With 6th around the corner, and all the FW goodies, this initiative could really get the community out in force.

Hyaenidae Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I agree, let's add more people and make this epic as hell. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251453-a-tale-of-17-gamers/page/3/#findComment-3049407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Won't that turn things into something like an LPC challenge? I kind of like the idea of a group seventeen of us trying to out do each other. (Not that I wish to deny others a go.) Anyhoo, I take it we start now, right?

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I agree, I do like the whole 17 people thing. Perhaps the people who missed the chance could have a second group of seventeen? That way you keep the small group fun factor, but ensure everyone gets a chance.

A D-B Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I prefer the teamwork and structure of a more personal project, between a small number of folks (including the selection of Chapters that make them personally 'yours' in the project) but if it's becoming just a standard Badab LPC, that'd be cool for different reasons. I suspect several of the original 17 might change Chapters, but that's no problem if everyone's free to do any force. I'm good, either way. Down to Dirge Caster, I s'pose.

Midnightmare Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 As much as I am gutted to miss out, I say stick to the 17! Good luck to you all, I'm looking forward to seeing the results :) btw I wonder how many will continue with whole armies started from this project. It can be a slippery slope :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251453-a-tale-of-17-gamers/page/3/#findComment-3049461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I will.

ChaosLord Leon Enaek Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks for the link, Chapter Master! Mmm, last day of May you say? Well that means if I factor in my payday today and any 18th b'day money I'll be getting tomorrow, I might just be able to throw some devastators together in 33 days... Just to clarify, the Desert Support Squads that the Sons of Medusa used to have used heavy bolters, right? I won't be doing them in that scheme, I just thought they'd probably still use the same weapons. Thanks in advance!
