SW1 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 We've got a short time before the ETL starts so have you got your prep work completed? The rules state the models need to be no further than base/under coated. So there's no point in waiting for the ETL to start before opening boxes and starting to remove mould lines. In comparison to other forums we'll have more prep to do as the bulk of our entries are resin rather than plastic so get what you can done now. For those thinking of doing a single mega vow have a second thought and maybe break it down to 2 or 3 vows instead. This will still leave you a few vows just incase you get finished early and you want to add further vows. It also means if something happening IRL then you don't end up struggling to finish the mega vow and possibly failing to complete. One thing a lot of people miss in the rules is that you need to complete all of the vows you make to have them all count. If you do 4 vows of say 1000 points each completed and then make a final vow of say 100 points. If that final bow isn't completed the other 4 vows will not count. This is something a few people each year forget and end up loosing big points, so let's try to avoid this on this forum!

SW1 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 One other thing I personally wish I'd known last ETL was the model needs to be finished painted but this doesn't include the bases. So as long as the model is painted it's classed as completed!

helterskelter Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Isn't there a substantial time to complete the models? So even with the arrival that far in the future still plenty of time to complete them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289898-the-hh-forum-prepping-for-the-etl-iii/#findComment-3659398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes there is but I like to be safe to not let people down Oath 2 will be 5 destroyers 5 recon 1 praetor 1 MoS and maybe 3 jetbikes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289898-the-hh-forum-prepping-for-the-etl-iii/#findComment-3659401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Safest bet is only vow models you've already got hold of and get them completed. Get that vow done in as short a time as possible without skimping on the paint job. There's a total of 92 days to get your models done so let's not get to stressed about time. Lol ... You can do that towards the end of July. The main trick is early completion of 1st vow and keep at it with subsequent vows. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289898-the-hh-forum-prepping-for-the-etl-iii/#findComment-3659426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour Control Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm just cleaning up 20 medusan immortals, then 10 man support squad, Spartans and contemptors. I was just thinking of doing 1 vow for the whole lot, I'd love to paint my 2500pt plus army in 92 days, that would be awesome. The basic colour scheme is a doddle and doesn't take much time at all. Just the details are the time consuming bit.

Indrick Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Currently preparing a 10 man tactical squad and a Praetor in Cataphractii Terminator armour. I've also got 3 Contemptor Dreadnoughts I'd like to vow as well (providing the other stuff goes well). Problem is I am not sure how to arm the last one. First Dread has got a twin-linked lascannon and a power fist, the other two Kheres Assault Cannons and a havoc launcher. Any ideas for the third would be much appreciated!

BassWave Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 So after doing some research, apparently if I submit stuff to the mechanicus forum, I would be working together with Emperor worshippers (IG, SoB, =I=). To hell with that! I'm submitting my stuff here, which means I can also submit my IH. I have- Two 10 man legion squads 9 characters Three drop pods 5 man plasma support squad Two javelin attack speeders Three rhinos in the mail 1 magos 1 tech priest Various servitors 3 thallax 1 knight paladin Lets give the 40k players Hell brothers!

MordentHex Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I won't get my next FW order until June, would it be too late to enter into ETL III then? that would give you roughly 1-2 months to pledge something. big or small, doesn't matter, just join in and have some fun. its about community and a little competition.

SW1 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I won't get my next FW order until June, would it be too late to enter into ETL III then? You nee to have made your first pledge by the 1st of June if memory serves me right. So if you know what your getting for definite just pledge by that date and once it arrives start painting it. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289898-the-hh-forum-prepping-for-the-etl-iii/#findComment-3660238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Trying to think if 10 recons or 10 destroyers are better? And if I should add 5 terminators?
