Brother Heinrich Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Man I really hope we do well this time around, I wanna see all you maggots giving everything you've got. I'll be damned if a bunch of dress-wearing pansies show us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'm just counting down the days before it starts. If it doesnt rain (west coast here..) I'll have a few more things base coated tomorrow, like Erebus (Dark Apostle), Kor Phaeron (Chaos Terminator Lord w/ 2 LC) and a Lord of Change thats just sitting on my table staring at me with unpainted shame on its face...

I'll be damned if a bunch of dress-wearing pansies show us up.But I'm not painting Nurgle. Edit. I can't decide how to mount my Forgefiend weapons. I'm doing the mauler build but using the long legs at the back. So do I use the middle leg holes or attach to the top plate as I've seen a few others do.

Uprising Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 So how everyones prep work going? I spent all day removing paint from miniatures sitting in my simple green buckets, removing mold lines, and amassing the first vow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenebris Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Well I have set a list of priorities, tournament army pieces first, casual pieces after that. I have acquired a second hand Be'Lakor in metal for cheap and I have managed to assemble the Dark Vengeance part of Chaos. The basecoat part will come when some good weather will pop up. My list will be: Dark Vengeance Chaos part; Helcult: Helbrute + 40 cultists Chaos Space Marines squad Maulerfiend/Forgefiend Heldrake 4x Spawn Be'Lakor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 So far between my Nurgle and Slaanesh armys I have 4110 points of stuff to pledge so far, still got to work out points of Word Bearers left to paint. Ill Deffo have over 6k to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yikes. I dont think I'll get there unless some of my Lord of War options come through for me in the next month or so. My first vow is going to be pretty modest. Lord of Change Herald of Nurgle 25 or so Plaguebearers Daemon Prince Sorcerer 5 CSM (MKIV Bolters, HH Word Bearers) Helbrute (AC/Scourge) - Question here, how has magnetized options worked in the past? Heldrake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 If that's modest, my first vow is going to be downright sparse. I was going to do: Huron counts-as 5x Chosen with VOTLW, Mos, IoE, 2x LC, 5x PW And a barebones "rolled high on the chart" Daemon Prince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Well, when people are talking 1000's of points, I submit my vow with humility, I know I cant touch 4K points! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 In my experience it's not the size of vows that win the day, it's the size of participation... All forums have those who paint large chunks but the winning combo is low points/vow (thus more easily achievable) and lots and lots of vows... The points per vow rise only in the absense of participation. A good example of that was the SWs is the first ETL where they consistently made very large vows (compared to the ETL average) and managed to secure third place with only a fraction of participants. On the other hand, Chaos last year made an impressive performance coming in 4th with a very small point/vow ratio and 49 participants. One can only imagine of the Chaos cultists amass what the result will be! ;) Seriously I believe that if you manage 60 participations and an average points/vow ratio your high completion rate will kick-in and there is nothing to stop you guys from becoming Primus Inter Pares. You only have to believei it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Low model count, high points helps too. So no. I won't be painting cultist ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hahaha!!! Fair enough! I was actually using the term "cultists" to make a parellel of the multitude of the Chaos players - not actual suggestion that you paint cultists! I should have used Chaos Lords...

Forté Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Though thinking about it. My drug crazed slaves, sorry, cultists would be quicker to paint as there'll be less colours used on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be painting cultist Agree, I have 200 zombies to paint for my typus list, they can wait for this year Halloween. So I spent all day working on bases and removing more paint. I also Assembled three khorne dreads, which I am very happy with the results. I really should start a painting thread in the wip forum soon. Tonight I am going to pick up the new daemon book and stock up on paint, while listing my eldar and Lizardmen army on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Not to game this but, yeah to game this: Has anyone figured out what would be the 'optimum' chaos low count / high point / low $$ model to paint? I'm assuming HQs. I'm not going to do 10 Abbadons just for the sake of ETL but maybe I'll get an Ahriman which I don't have yet as I don't play Thousand Sons. Maybe I'll get a Bloodletter too as I don't have one of those either. Edit - Meant Bloodthirster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
