Dosjetka Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Are no Sister painters/collectors/players joining in on this? Seeing as my plans have changed (yet again...), I probably am. Maybe I'll get to 100% finish rate all on my own :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275249-etl-ii-launching-may-15th/#findComment-3370997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I don't have anything for the Sisters of Battle that I need to paint. That is unless I change my mind and repaint yet again to another Order. This is a distinct possibility since I don't like my white armor paint job.

Eddie Orlock Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'm more inclined to support the Ad-Mech, especially if I can go out of scale and use it as an excuse to polish off my epic titan legion. I also have a spare Land Raider I was going to paint up in mechanicus colours back when this was an option in the WH 'dex. And a BFG ramilles as a research station, and some escort carriers for the admech fleet and an epic ordinatus converstion. And a Tech-priest with servitors. I guess I also have some misc. guard, and some marine bikers, aircraft, thunderfire. I do have one old squad I could do up as celestians and an old shrine objective marker.

Fibonacci Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Is it going to be game point cost again? I can paint 1000 points of Death Wing knights a lot faster than I can paint 1000 points of Battle Sisters. Maybe I could ally some Paladins. $100 can get me 150 points of SoB or 1500 points of GK ;) If they flipped to monitary cost instead of game cost we would be better off.

Fibonacci Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Grrr ... I'm going to hate myself for this. I JUST finished painting them in a DIY color scheme. I like the black and red of The Order of Our Martyred Lady but it seems like every time I meet another SoB player that's what they have. Aw, hell. I wanted to paint my Penitent Engines bronze anyway ..... let me figure out points for the full army and I'm in.

Rizara Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I am supporting the sisters, mostly because its either them, or the dark angels. Granted I have more points of dark angels that I can paint for the event, but I really want to get my 1k sisters army done, and if I get it done in time, I can expand using the painting contest as motivation, but at max it will only cap out at 2000 points if I expand at all. That being said, sucks I already have my canoness and one excorcist painted up, means I only got 765 points to start out with my first vow, instead of 1k. Oh well, expanding the army after that simply means I can add more points and do some wargear options.

*Furyou Miko Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Ah, heck. I owe it to them by now. I, Furyou Miko, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete two Battle Sister squad, two Retributor squads and a Dominions squad from Codex: Sisters of Battle of total value 1011 Points on or before August 31th. Success will bring eternal glory to the Order of the Sacred Tome, and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end. Before [Repressor model not included, as I'll have to finish converting that at a later date. Note also that the Rhinos are in somewhat poor repair and also need fixing up and upgrades re-added. Also missing is a Sister Superior and two flamer-armed Sisters]; http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/KaguraHakubi/IK%20and%2040K/My%20Projects/2013ETenebraeLux002_zpsfd817314.jpg Yes, that's right - I am basically vowing to paint my entire Sisters army, minus the majority of the vehicles. Many of the models are undercoated and have the robes blocked on. Some of them even have random bronze details applied. None of them are in a state I would call more than 'basic' or 'just started'. My vow is huge this year - last year I painted three effectively scratchbuilt Chaos Sorcerers, and probably caused a large part of Captain Semper's grief. ^^; So, this year I'm going entirely the other way. I even plan to set up a WiP thread once I actually start work! Shocking, I know. The vow breaks down thusly; Battle Sister squad - 2 flamers, VSS with Power Axe and Plasma Pistol Battle Sister squad - Heavy Bolter, VSS with Power Axe and Plasma Pistol Dominion Squad - 5 extra Sisters, 4 Meltaguns, VSS with two Plasma Pistols, Repressor with Extra Armour, Searchlight and Hunter-Killer Missile Retributor Squad - 2 extra Sisters, 4 Heavy Bolters, VSS with Storm Bolter and Chainsword, Rhino with Storm Bolter, Extra Armour, Searchlight, Hunter-Killer Missile and Dozer Blade Retributor Squad - 3 extra Sisters, 4 Heavy Bolters, VSS with Bolt Pistol and Chainsword, Rhino with Storm Bolter, Extra Armour, Searchlight, Hunter-Killer Missile and Dozer Blade Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275249-etl-ii-launching-may-15th/#findComment-3371286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Miko, I think the vows go in the other thread. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275249-etl-ii-launching-may-15th/#findComment-3371303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Orlock Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 What is that candy bar off to the left. Also, eww! Warmachine, gross. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275249-etl-ii-launching-may-15th/#findComment-3371310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 That was me forgetting which thread I was in. ^^; Also, lol, Eddie. That's the card that came with the model I bought to convert into Lady Malys. :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275249-etl-ii-launching-may-15th/#findComment-3371646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Is it bad that the first thing I spotted in that picture was the Caramac bar? I found a pack of 3 for a quid in Wilko a couple of weeks ago and it made my day. For more appropriate musings after clarifying the rules I will be taking part in my first painting challenge on the B&C, but it will be for the Guard. I've been meaning to get some more Guard done and don't have any Sister stuff of note so the decision was clear. That and we're all in it together so I'm still on the right side :) Good luck to those taking part, I'll be along to watch your progress :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275249-etl-ii-launching-may-15th/#findComment-3372505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Caramacs are a guilty pleasure of mine. ^^; A little taste of the wonderful time I spent on saturdays in my youth at HYMAC. We'd come in off the water, or out of the cave, and traipse upstairs in the clubhouse to get something out of the vending machine, and I would have a caramac (mars bars were for after swimming).

WarriorFish Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Same here, it's a little taste of a childhood treat! It seems I still have the same sweet tooth even now :P I've since declared my vow in support of the Imperial Guard (and allies by proxy) after rummaging through my boxes. I'm not sure how much time I'll have so I'm starting conservatively, at least compared to the other vows. Maybe we'll have nice new plastic models for me to swear my oath to the Sisters next year?
