helterskelter Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 So the challenge lain before me, 30,000 points of horus heresy items, for the next ETL. now being 9 months away, thats alot of time to prepare but i need to ask a few questions. What are the most expensive pointswise items in the books currently? For example if i could build them are there rules for imperator titans/stormbirds?

Reyner Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I think Reavers are in as well as Warhounds currently them and Primarchs are the most expensive points wise. Good luck with this =P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294569-next-years-etl-a-gauntlet-thrown/#findComment-3763766 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millicant Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Aside from the sheer insanity of painting that many points... Â How in the actual hell are you going to AFFORD that many points? Â I don't know what you do, but I need a career change.

helterskelter Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 well some creative construction and inspiration from folks on here, it is possible to scratchbuild thunderhawks and titans Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294569-next-years-etl-a-gauntlet-thrown/#findComment-3763789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Thunderhawks/Titans are a go. They use the points presented in the other Imperial Armour volumes. So something like thirty titans and spending three days on each should get you cleared.

Millicant Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Sure man, build two thunderhawks, two warhounds, and even two reaver titans. Â Â 6k down, 24k to go. Â Â I don't want to discourage you - but damn. Â Good luck.

helterskelter Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 A plan is definitely going to have to be made, and hope rules for something bigger get released between now and then Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294569-next-years-etl-a-gauntlet-thrown/#findComment-3763796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Lucian Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 How many copies of horus does it take to reach 30k? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294569-next-years-etl-a-gauntlet-thrown/#findComment-3763811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamal Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Titans/Thunderhawks/Super heavy Legion tanks will net you a bare minimum of 500 points a piece.10 man terminators are good for around 400 or so before adding in wargear etc. You'll have 8/9 Primarchs you could do, thats the best part of 5k points straight off the bat. The Cerastus is 400 points base too. Plenty of scope for it and I think it would be doable, just the amount of cash you'd need to sink into it is inhumane Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294569-next-years-etl-a-gauntlet-thrown/#findComment-3763822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I would also suggest pacing yourself. Real Life can strike at any moment and rarely is it opportune. If you are able to afford it, since you are taking the scrathbuild route maybe try and practice how fast you can reasonably paint and if possible, how many days in a row you can paint while holding out because I know that in the Chaos forums, there were a few complaints of brushing hands giving out at the last minute.

What are the most expensive pointswise items in the books currently? For example if i could build them are there rules for imperator titans/stormbirds? 30,000 points would roughly be my entire list for the Dark Angel's 9th Order. If you were asking for ten people to commit 3000 points each, I'd jump right in. This is a "Mjolnir-sized" gauntlet: I'm just not worthy enough to lift it. Good luck, m'lud.

SW1 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Dude I didn't challenge u. It was just a question of would we see 30k of 30k?

SW1 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm going to go through my entire collection and pull out everything that's 30k viable in my eyes. I may not have 30k worth but I'll probably be able to vow a 5 figure sum!

Slips Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Well...I might just wait till the next ETL to paint my FW goodies. All told I have ~35-40 terminators (character and standard) 40+ Marines in a Mix of MK III and MK IV, A Spartan, A sicarian, an Achilles, a Phobos LR, couple rhinos, etc. But..I don't think I'd be able to resist painting them all the different variations of the 7th Legion. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294569-next-years-etl-a-gauntlet-thrown/#findComment-3764427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
