Eremiel Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Comment: It is impossible to "lock-up" Shadow Guard. He is so twisted, he bumps into himself when he turns a corner. Question: I notice that some on the forums already have the banner, but some (like myself) do not. What gives? Is there a schedule to get the banners applied to accounts, or is it more like "we get to it when we can, please be patient"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 To answer the question: You need to put the banner on yourself. The easy way is to copy it from someone elses signature and insert it into your own. Right mouse click on the image Click on "copy image location" Paste this into your signature area in your user Account. Works for me ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Oooor, make a quick "quote" reply, copy the code from the quoted text, close the reply without posting and copy the code to your sig. I'm happy to see this event catching on! It seems a lot of people, me included, have some tidying up to do... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eremiel Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks for the replies! I had no idea it was up to the poster to pull the banner into their sig. Learn something new every day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cielaq Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 One thing I would like to see regarding the event - separate subfoum for all the topics with WIPs/finished vows. Otherwise we will have 95% of our general DA forum full of them again, and it would be hard to find topics not related to the event.Just my $0.02. Wouldn't any WIP be in PC&A's Work in Progress section? Not to clutter things there, but that's what it's there for. I hate to tell "I told you so", but we already have a number of WIP topics in DA forum instead of PC&A one. I don't want to be an :P , but could some friendly mod move them where they are supposed to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be an :P , but could some friendly mod move them where they are supposed to be? I don't think it's up to the "friendly mods" to move topics from the DA forum to the PCA ones, as the topics are relevant to both forums, hence the posters preference overrides. It really is entirely up to the poster to decide which audience he/she wishes to display their topics. I for one, very rarely venture outside the DA forum hence would likely miss anything in the PCA unless someoneelse directed me there. Is there a particular issue with clutter in the DA forum with this event that was not seen in any of the previous ones such as the LPC 2011, LPC 2012 and the ETL 2012? Of the 21 posts in the first page only 5 are seperate PtR related WIP posts apart from the two PtR main threads.... the rest are all related to DV and other stuff.... Am i missing something here?

cielaq Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I don't have any notes from previous painting events, but I remember it was like 5 of the 21 were non-WIP posts. It made finding something other than painting posts very hard and annoying. I know those WIP are also DA-related, that's why I suggested separate subforum here in DA section. We do have "Dark Angel Army Lists" redirection in our subforum for DA lists, why not do something similar with DA paining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because painting has every right to be in the main DA forum as other topics that interest you. Alternatively we could have a subforum about rules, another about tactics, another about background and another about painting so that you are not annoyed. How does this sound?

Interrogator Stobz Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You guys are bullies :devil: Just wait until a new dex arrives, there'll be heaps less rumour/wishlist/painting threads for a while, then there will be rules and gripes about rules from everyone!

We do have "Dark Angel Army Lists" redirection in our subforum for DA lists, why not do something similar with DA paining? Dark Angels army lists is a regular fixture and is not going away. The painting contest is just a temporary fixture and will see variable affluence... In one week you can see 10 WIP threads, the next week you can only see 1 or 2 such threads, so it will not warrant a separate subforum. Also you can expand your pageview to let's say 30 threads per page, so that the quantity of WIP threads won't be so much in the way of your site navigation.

Ordo Machinum Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You guys are bullies ;) Just wait until a new dex arrives, there'll be heaps less rumour/wishlist/painting threads for a while, then there will be rules and gripes about rules from everyone! Haha Stobz This is why I make the ultimate sacrifice of building and painting at a snail's pace. Otherwise I would have three companies built by now along with several picture intensive threads. I would build faster if it weren't for my devotion to keeping the DA forum clearer. As any Fallen would say, "That's my story and I'm sticking to it!" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 @ The Shadow Guard: I've recently acquired a large-scale SM, 140mm, and would like to vow him for PtR November, but he doesn't technically fit into any of the criteria....is there anything to be done?

Captain_Quirk Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I would like to enter, using the DA minis from Dark Vengeance, but I don't have a DA Codex (not buying the current one if another one is most likely to up soon), So I don't have access to points. Does points costs matter that much? http://www.thedarkfortress.co.uk/tech_repo...geance-list.htm I got my points values from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn_the_Heretic Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I enjoy the event, but as there are rumours of new things coming out I, like some others, might stop so as to not build and paint units that might become obselete: e.g. Deathwing/Ravenwing.

twopounder Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 It's a good idea to motivate people - don't force them to do too much but reward them for what they do. I really need to finish my present army to replace that horrid old thing you have up on the fortress from years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to make an exception about the size but a single marine is not a codex entry...so he will need to be a character... or make him a terrain piece? in full colour of course :cuss I enjoy the event, but as there are rumours of new things coming out I, like some others, might stop so as to not build and paint units that might become obselete: e.g. Deathwing/Ravenwing. I hope you continue.... there are things you can paint and participate in the contest that will be immune to codex changes... tactical squads, tanks, terrains pieces (preferably with a Dark Angel bent to it) and objective markers.... It's a good idea to motivate people - don't force them to do too much but reward them for what they do. I really need to finish my present army to replace that horrid old thing you have up on the fortress from years ago. Hope you will participate in November and also back earn your Sep and oct pearls! :P SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
