Crimson Hawk Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I got a cool idea the other day- get together a group of Space Wolf, Grey Knight and World Eater players, for a Tale of Painters themed around the First War for Armageddon. Tales are a great way to start a new army, or expand an existing one. WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? Anyone can join, provided they sign up within a month of the competition starting. Like a certain Badab War Tale going on in the WIP section of the forum, the number of participants is unlimited. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? Each month you paint up one unit of at least 100 points from Codex-Space Wolves, Codex-Grey Knights or Codex-Chaos Space Marines, as well as a challenge each month for extra points (see below) HOW IS THIS CHALLENGE DIFFERENT? When you sign up for the Tale, you state what army you are supporting- SW, GK or WE. Then, each month, if you paint 100 points on time for your army, your team gains 1 point. Your faction also gains 1 point if you complete one of the monthly challenges. At the end of the challenge (7 months) the faction that has the most points wins the Tale. Post your queries below, if you're interested. Since E Tenebrae Lux is going on at the moment, I've decided that the Tale signup period will begin on the 16th of August, and the actual challenge will begin two weeks later.

Forté Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 100 points is an impossible ask. Most SW HQ have a base of 100 and there's a lot of >100 units in all three Codex. Maybe change it to 'one unit of at least 100 points each month'. Also, there's the painting comp going on so many will be busy with that.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I would super love to do this, but as Forte already pointed out, many of us are already involved in beating the dress wearers about the heads with our ferocious painting abilities. I would love to use this Tales of Armageddon to paint up my sloooowly growing World Eaters force, if I wasn't already painting for the Luxy thingy... Start this at the end of August and I'll totally sign up!!

CainTheHunter Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Thanks forte and Rune Priest Rhapsody for your imput- first post updated with new info I wonder if this could be done as the sort of "relay-race"? For example, I'd gladly do some 100 or more points, but I can't do this on a regular basis mostly, because my main stuff is either fully painted, or needs only minor touch-ups to count as finished. And, in fact, I don't need or want to buy more. The only thing I am currently missing from the SW range are the TWC and maybe Arjac. I am not going with the hype and buying StormTalon as well. What I am saying is that I could sign up for a month or two, but if I quit during the challenge (have no more things to paint) and my team gets negative modifier for it, then I'd rather pass on it.

Oh no, that's fine, as points will be added to your faction score rather than deducted.
