Toxichobbit Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Any more takers from the sons of Guilliman? Let's get a head start over the Unforgiven! I doubt there will be many more takers. Being the underdog is one thing, but being the side that is guaranteed to loose is another. It only takes a quick look at the results of previous forum vs forum events to see that Dark Angels vs Ultramarines (in an event where quantity is the goal) only has one outcome. The only way we can even come close to challenging the Dark Angels is as part of a large alliance. I'm sorry for being so critical. A lot of work goes into events like this, organising them, record keeping and making the banners and I fully support anything that encourages people to paint and brings the community together. I know the intention of this event was to encourage painting and bringing the community together, but in it's current format, it just doesn't do that, at least not for me. Honestly, I feel more insulted than encouraged to paint for my Chapter. I feel like the Dark Angels are just throwing their weight around, proving what we already know, that they are more popular than the Ultramarines and rubbing it in by (essentially) awarding themselves a banner with the Ultramarines Chapter symbol on it. I know that wasn't the intent of the events and I feel like a **** for saying this when people have worked hard to make this event happen, but it just doesn't motivate me and I suspect it doesn't motivate a lot of other Ultramarine players. Seeing that the Ultramarines have 4 points worth of oaths while the Dark Angels have 41 points worth of oaths after just 4 days isn't encouraging, it's just a put down. Once again i'm sorry for being so critical of others work, especially when I personally don't have the time to organise an event of this scale nor the skill to make those awesome banners, but I feel that feedback, especially negative feedback, is important. Criticism isn't nice, but it's the best way to improve. I really hope that more events like this happen and I also hope that the organisers consider what i've said and take it into account. I'd say exactly the same thing if the event was for the Raven Guard, Salamanders, Imperial Fists, Iron Hands, Daemons, Chaos Space Marines, Inquisition, Imperial Guard etc etc. Basically any forum or sub-forum that isn't the Blood Angels, Black Templars or Space Wolves can't ever hope to compete with the Dark Angels, so I hope that's taken into account when more events like this happen.

The Shadow Guard Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm sorry you feel that way Toxichobbit. There was always the danger that some of the Sons of Guilliman may feel exactly what you have voiced but that is certainly not the spirit of the event. In fact it is intended to celebrate the release of the Codex Spacemarines and with the availability of all those new toys and going from the impact that the new Dark Angels Codex had on the DA forum... it was intended to support the building up of the painting efforts for the UM legion. This is in parallel with the Loyalty and Treachery event focusing on the Horus heresy era, which allows particiapnts to submit their vehicles to both events. The event does gather together UM, IA and LA forums but only for UM successors both legal and DIY....so it's just not Ultramarine players. One could certainly argue that the DA forum appears to be ascendant at the moment as did the Black Templars previously and the Blood Angels prior to that, so the tide does turn and it only take s a handful of faithful to change the world! A few years ago we would never have considered the DA forum to be able to win a single LPC contest. It was mainly because of the potential for the UM forum to be perceived as underdogs that we didn't actually use the gaming points system but a simplified system that has the capability to level the contest. It only takes a couple of players to submit a superheavy or even a medum heavy to blast a path forward with 6, 12 or 18 points while many of the submissions in the DA forum are in fact one and two pointers. Based on the participation in the ETL, if ten UM members participate with the larger vehicles you would all of a sudden be well beyond the halfway mark of the Dark Angels. Also remember, the points of the Dark Angels are oaths made not oaths completed... So, don't be put off by the perceived odds, they are not as bad as they appear.... + + + You didn't give up at Calth! + + + + + + Don't let hope slip now! + + + This is a friendly contest devised to give you yet another incentive to paint that elusive model on your shelf. It is certainly experimental in its concept and will likely be improved or shelved. Please take it for what it is and not as something that is meant to put anyone down. The main aim is not about winning but about participating.... with more incentives to be unveiled as the event progresses. Every armoured evhicle painted is a win in itself and for the emperor! + + + Sons of Gulliman, Gather for your Primarch + + + + + + Lords of Ultramar!

Captain Idaho Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Right, I've got far too much to be doing over Christmas but I will be cold and dead on Prandium before I let the Chapter down! If we are that outnumbered I just have to participate! I can make a quick question; I have a Predator Destructor that needs repainting from the ground up - total repaint since I covered it in layers back when I was a kid. Since the paint already on it is essentially an undercoat, could I repaint it as an oath? It is a lot of work.

Sviar Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I really got very little time for painting, but what kind of a new Ultramarine recruit would I be if I wasn't supporting my Chapter. I have a Raven Guard Vinidicator I am not at all happy with how it turned out. I could strip away some of the paint and give it a new shiny Ultra coat.

Since the paint already on it is essentially an undercoat, could I repaint it as an oath? It is a lot of work. Well, if you are going to do a total repaint... we'll consider the old paint an undercoat as you state, as long as the before and after images (and any WIP images) clearly show that it is being repainted, it will be acceptble as an oath. You must however, formally make a post with the oath. I really got very little time for painting, but what kind of a new Ultramarine recruit would I be if I wasn't supporting my Chapter. I have a Raven Guard Vinidicator I am not at all happy with how it turned out. I could strip away some of the paint and give it a new shiny Ultra coat. That's the spirit my brother in blue... go ahead and make an oath and make it all official. Ive got a couple of rhinos i can paint. Never posted anything before so not sure if the pics will be any good (only got my phone to take them) but ill give it a go. All you need is one befoe and one after image. Go ahead and make your oaths and keep the faith in your primarch. That's the spirit guys. This event is a fun way of encouraging us to do the painting we might put off. Let's just see what we can do. After all, the Frater over at the Rock aren't going to be boasting anything and being rude as they know just how many DA fans there are. This is a friendly event and every Dark Angel vehicle painted is as much a victory as each Ultramarine vahicle painted... Every tank readied for the service of the emperor is a mighty win!
