Daemon2027 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Damn, do I pledge Heresy Era Legion or Imperial Guard. I'm thinking I should stand up for the men of the Imperium and go Guard. Will I get a medal? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/2/#findComment-3653327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 You'll get some form of ETL badge for successfully completing all your vows and entry into the esteemed ranks of the Guard Veteran company, what more could a man ask for? :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/2/#findComment-3653400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 You will be awarded the Custos Fidei, a most prestigious award as ETL veterans will testify! ;) But if you fail, you'll wear the badge of shame, the Oathbreaker! And if Guard and other Imperial Agencies win overall, then you'll be awarded the Primus Inter Pares!

WarriorFish Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Here in the Guard we have another badge for oathbreakers called the Commissar's Duty. I'll let you work out what it looks like Getting Primus Inter Pares would be fantastic, as would achieving 100% completion - aim for the top!

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Primus Inter pares would be great, but we have a real uphill battle to accomplish that since we are still heavily outnumbered. That has never stopped the Guard before, though. WarriorFish, what do you think of doing a special award within the Imperial Guard forum for members who successfully partake of the ETL? A little extra incentive for our members? I lack the photoshop skills, but it would be really neat if we had campaign medals/ribbons or something to go with the chevrons we'll be getting for One for All. I'd better order my Forgeworld Autocannon turrets for my DKoK Storm Chimeras and pick up a Hydra box ASAP so I can start assembling and be ready to hit the ground running for ETL.

WarriorFish Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Maybe, I'll chat with the other Guard Moderati ;) I'm already planning a raid on GW this Saturday to pick up everything I'll need for the ETL. Glory awaits us all! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/2/#findComment-3654580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DAN+ Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Just got confirmation that my latest wallet breaking order was shipped today so ill be all ready for the ETL. Couldnt resist getting the heavy artillery earthshaker cannon and the Imperial bombard......plus some other goodies :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/2/#findComment-3654715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviar Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 If I remember correctely didn't we have a 100% banner in the making, before we fell in on the finish line. I'm not sure if I going to make a panance vow this year, I haven't used my Pedro Kantor at all, but that is kind of the whole thing about panance vows .

Kierdale Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I figure my first vow will total about 500-600 points...not a lot for all those boots. Anyway, I ordered the GW spray gun to speed up the under- and base-coating.

What paint are you planning line to use? I have not seen any good reviews on GW's "new" and current line of paints. I know that they changes their paint formula. I also know a guy trying to airbrush with GW paint and having a lot of trouble. I don't have any current GW paint but I'd hate to plan out my work only to have to keep changing my plans. Although, the GW spray gun might not have any issues with their paints. It isn't a fine detail air brush and more or less meant for base coats and vehicles? right? I may paint some DKoK as well this year. Those guys need some paint badly! I have been afraid to ruin them!

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 My vow won't be gigantic since (fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), most of my Guard stuff I need for Astro is done. However, it looks like I will be able to pledge: Quartermaster and Retinue - 75 2x Storm Chimeras - 150 Hydra Flak Tank - 70 Ministorum Priest - 25 Total = 320 Maybe 5 more Death Riders which would be good for another 150 but that will pretty much be it. I wish I could do my Inquisitor's Land Raider and warband for this forum!

WarriorFish Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 We'll find out exactly how Semper has detailed the rules in May - don't forget that the 40k landscape has changed much since last year so we should pay close attention to how the ETL III will work. Currently we know that allies are not allowed and that the same rules about pledging to one faction remain but otherwise it could be different! I'm already planning and gearing up for my vows, I've got a fair few things on in the coming month or two but I still expect to be able to get a couple of vows in at least :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/2/#findComment-3654878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 I think the Guard will welcome the changes this year... It all boils down to participation levels. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/2/#findComment-3654885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Very interesting, I can't wait to find out more! Curse my luck that I'm away for the first few days of May! Don't worry, I'll back like greased lightning to grab my paintbrush and Commissar hat!

Andhil Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 All the best luck to the men of the Guard. Sadly, my duty lies with the Templars, but be sure that I will have a sort-of-penance vow related to the exploits of the Guard Members here! (Alright, I really need an excuse to get a 3rd Valk, and convert it up, Golgothan-style. ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/2/#findComment-3655301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviar Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 By the way Captain Semper, last year you were if I remember correctly, a little hesitant when it came to paint a Aegis Defence Line. Would painting it in my IG colour be enough to convice you that it is for my IG army, or would you like me to add something to make it look more IG(probaly will anyway).

Captain Semper Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Indeed I was... But the hobby has moved along since and so has the ETL. All these things will be addressed. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/2/#findComment-3655654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 As if by magic, Semper appears! It seems like there may be quite a few changes, so the ETL rules will probably be a bit more complicated for it. However with how the hobby is now this is unavoidable I imagine. I will do my best to help field some of the questions asked when the time comes Once I've read and understood them myself of course Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/2/#findComment-3655661 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argun Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hmm... Now there's an idea I'm interested in. Are fortifications (like say... the Strongpoint) going to be OK for the ETL? If so, got 2 I can pledge almost immediately! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/2/#findComment-3656038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead01 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I was allowed to paint an ADL with quad gun and a bastion last year. I can't recall any issues from higher at all.

WarriorFish Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 They're allowed, but you should try and tie them in to your army somehow for good manners if nothing else :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289475-etl-iii-is-coming/page/2/#findComment-3658626 Share on other sites More sharing options...

our_baz Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Prob a soft question this...but i'll continue. I'm up for placing a few vows for the ETL but I don't have the current / previous Codex to get the points values (the only codex I own is the 3rd edition from '96 which is touch out of date), would this exempt me?
