greggles Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 If I paint a fallen dark angel, being burned by righteous templar fury, does that count for double points?

In my book, you not only get double points, but you get to go to the head of the line.

Ace Debonair Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 This whole thread is wall-to-wall epic, with maybe just a hint of crazy. But then I'm used to crazy, so I'm almost at home here. Also one thing that we are forgetting. I know we have been talking a lot about Templars vs Dark Angels, but don't forget that we will have the full weight of the rest of the Codex Space Marines behind us. With our combined strength we will indeed be formidable. For what it's worth, that's going to include my DIY Chapter, since the Liber Astartes is also no longer a competitor in it's own right. My White Hawks might not have your famed zeal, but I'll do my best to prove myself a worthy ally.

Honda Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Brother Debonair*, you are most welcome! We are an...exuberant bunch, but what is important is that all who embrace the Emperor are welcome to stand shoulder to shoulder with us in this endeavor as "skirts**" chase us. ;) There is ZEAL behind the breastplate of every man. It has only to be unleashed. * We already have an 'Ace" ** i.e. Dark Angels Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286878-extremely-tenuous-lighting-strategium-mode-on/page/7/#findComment-3661864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Darklight Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Also one thing that we are forgetting. I know we have been talking a lot about Templars vs Dark Angels, but don't forget that we will have the full weight of the rest of the Codex Space Marines behind us. With our combined strength we will indeed be formidable. You heard the man, Brothers. We can't lose this year! But do not take this as an excuse to be lax about your vows, Brothers. You fight for a different Subforum this year, but you are still BLACK TEMPLARS! I expect to see the same effort and zeal from each of you that we displayed two years ago when we claimed victory of the very first E Tenebrae Lux challenge! I already have at least 2500 points set aside for the cause, and more and more I look at some models that desperately need a repaint. Your vows will not be lost under the name "Angels of Death", they will still be very much visible. Show, not only our opponents, but our allies as well. Show them what makes you a Black Templar! Show them the Zeal that burns within you! Scions of Sigismund, Sons of Dorn, stand as one! NO PITY. NO REMORSE. NO FEAR Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286878-extremely-tenuous-lighting-strategium-mode-on/page/7/#findComment-3661902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Templar 307th Comp. Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I've got about 750 split between two vows to star with, we'll see where it goes from there. Edit: That 9 was supposed to be a seven, d'oh.

Cant wait for the 1st to get here already. HLVW Don't worry Brother. We're all experiencing this. Now, as said before, with the full might of C:SM, we cannot lose* So our next objective should be to lead the effort, and end up as the biggest contributors, and have our image adorn the victory banner. *:Unless victory conditions switch from amount of pts completed, to % completed, or something. So, just to get the Strategium mode engaged, here's a short compilation of tips: -You have 5 vows, use them. ex: If you have a total of 3K pts, don't put it all in a single vow, but spread it out to ensure you get as much done as possible. This also gives you some leeway should RL intervene. -Start with small vows, such as a vehicle or 2. I estimate that a vow of <1000pts is perfect. The idea behind this is that early completions give a boost to your comrades, and in the last 2 editions, the faction who started with a decent amount of early completions won. -Don't force it. Paint what you can. Don't feel pressured to paint more than you're comfortable with, especially in the later parts of the competition. Remember that if you fail a vow, all your previously completed vows don't count either! Usually it isn't worth possibly losing all your progress for an extra couple of points (unless you are completely sure you can complete the model(s) on time.) -The most important one: Enjoy! This is a really fun event, and participating is better than winning, as they say. (But "they" are not Templars. We prefer winning.) (Brothers Honda and Roujakis (and others) feel free to add. ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286878-extremely-tenuous-lighting-strategium-mode-on/page/7/#findComment-3661980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is ZEAL behind the breastplate of every man. It has only to be unleashed. Shoulder to shoulder it is then, brother. Let us bring the full might of the Imperium to bear on the competition! Looking at my bits box, I've almost got enough pieces for a 5-man Terminator Squad. There's still time for me to get some extra bitz in, so hopefully I can also piece together a Captain and Techmarine of some kind, too. * We already have an 'Ace" Well, for this challenge you can now have an Ace up each sleeve, so to speak.

Mandolore511 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I personally have no idea how many points I have to contribute or if I'll make it at all... I'm currently hostage to the fact that my modeling supplies have yet to make the move out to join me and still reside in my parents home... they've been on their way soon for about two months now with few indications of any change... so when they get sent out I'll set to work with what can still be done in the time that remains... I have a Knight titan, two boxes of sternguard ahm, sword bretheren, a drop pod, a box of sniper scouts, a dev box, an assault squad box, and a chapter upgrade kit all making me very sad as they sit on their sprues because I don't want to buy another snips and glue when I have them already just in a different state...

Acebaur Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 i just thought of something. I remember reading that the good Captain said that allies would not be allowed for the ETL.

moric Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The Emperor has blessed me with a donation from a friend of 28 marines (painted in black templar fashion) that are in need of paint striping and they'll be ready for the ETL that puts me at about 50-60 battle brothers ready to be painted !!!! Now i need to remember how to strip paint from plastic models... was it detol or something else :( damn the warp i cant remember :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286878-extremely-tenuous-lighting-strategium-mode-on/page/7/#findComment-3662510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mattias Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I have heard good things about detol. I tried fairy power spray, which eventually stripped the metal model very well, but after days of soaking and scrubbing, still didn't remove all the base coats from the plastic - but they were sprayed twice with blue and then red primer, so perhaps that was to be expected?

Probably... I stripped a 15 year-old paint job of a couple of minis last week using Power Spray. After an 8 hour soak (while I was at work) & a scrub with an old toothbrush they were as good as new. Just done a quick calc of what I've got to paint & it comes to 1300 pts. If I get it all done, it'll be the first time I've broken the 1k barrier. It does, however, include a storm raven. If that model has the same de-motivating effect on me that the storm talon did last year, I'm screwed...

Acebaur Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I use Super Clean to strip mini's. It's an engine de-greaser, but it will never harm the plastic. It will also break glue bonds so that's a plus.
