Dragonlover Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Ignoring HQ's I reckon it's either Terminators or Chosen, especially if you have the bits to give all of them power weapons and combis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 From previous years, it was stated that any upgrades had to be represented physically. So....if you have any Loyalist bits, scatter a few helmets and pauldrons on your infantry bases and call them Veterans of the Long War! An extra two points per model can go a loooong way, I think.

FashaTheDog Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 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. Yeah, well everyone knows Space Wolves all come pre-painted - just assemble, add water slide transfers, and call it done . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 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! From memory, Steve, Devourer and I put in a massive shift there - and hopefully won't fall to us alone to carry the mantle...

Kilofix Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Not doubting but just wondering. What makes folks think Chaos will be big this year (compared to last year)? Just based on board activity thus far or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlover Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Probably activity thus far, plus a pretty successful Call of Chaos last year. So only a couple of days to go. I assume the official start time is when the forum clock ticks over to Thursday? Dragonlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Not doubting but just wondering. What makes folks think Chaos will be big this year (compared to last year)? Just based on board activity thus far or something else. Because We are the sons/daughters of chaos, the champion of creation and destruction, the chosen champions of our future with unbound freedom in the hobby. I say freedom in conversion, painting, and rich back story is a major selling point that helps us a lot. Also this year has actually been good for chaos , and our board has been extremely positive and activate lately. Finally is the dedication of the vets of the long war to inspire our victory this year. Finally, thanks for joining chaos this year, here is your cookies.

Shard of Magnus Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Prep is slow. I had hoped to have 3-4 vows worth of stuff primered and ready to go before the 1st. As it is, work is crushing my spare time right now and at best I'll only have the models cleaned and ready to prime. Sigh. Good timing for the ETL though. I was in the mood to change up to a new army and the extra motivation to paint will be a boon. Now to see if I can reach my goal of getting 2K painted for this. -AE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Prep has been going well for me. I've got a bunch of stuff that are candidates for painting competition, so the first choice I have to make is what to include in the first vow and what to save for later. I've got a few things more I want to get assembled, though. I'm super excited about this. Whenever we do a competition, more of my army comes to life, and I love that.

TheDevourer Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Sadly I'll probably have to max out at 1700 points this year. Running out of models awfully fast. Have even stooped down to slicing up some of my loyalist project that I started a few years ago to get more plague marines :D. Hmm maybe I'll slice up some termis aswell...

Captain Semper Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 OK guys, let me clarify: All units that clearly state in their description that can be used with Chaos in the 40k context are legal.<br /><br />What sort of Apocalypse-only units do you have in mind?
