Kierdale Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Throne, you people are impatient! :D IG Transports only. Construct and prime by the end of this month. Sooner if you can. Then the event starts. The full event thread will be up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyner Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Ahh a good excuse to start my Steel Legion force. Now where to find a cheap Chimera... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzi Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I've got a Chimera that has been assembled and knocking around in my carrying case for eight years and has never seen a paint brush or battle. Now that I've got the start of an AM/TM force he will get primed up for service in this challenge. Good timing all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Um would equine conveyances count? Just to do something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Um would equine conveyances count? Just to do something different. If said equestrians are being transported aboard a converted open-top chimera taking them to the knacker's yard to be rendered down into glue... ...then yes. :P Treads or thrusters only, please. Other challenges await. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hmmm, so build 'n' prime a Transport by the end of the month? Pity I've already mostly completed my first Valk, I think I might look into a second by the end of the month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I may start my Stormlord. That counts as a transport ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Can Traitor Guard plays? If they have transports to haul their traitorous hides in, then yes. The first challenge was open to turncoats, as will this one be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I may start my Stormlord. That counts as a transport Throne of Terra! I was hoping someone would say this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I would not want to rush the Stormlord. Would this be a month long contest or longer? I would have to plan on 6 to 8 weeks to get all the magnetisation and painting right so if it was only a month then I would stick to Chimeras.

WarriorFish Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hmm, depends on how much time you could dedicate. There's nothing stopping you assembling something now and seeing where you stand when the starting gun goes off :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hmm, what else can one build that isn't a Stormlord, Taurox, Chimera, Valk / Vendetta? I suppose Centaur, Crassius, Gorgon? Did I miss any other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'm a bit out of date on the latest comings and goings of FW but it's easy enough to identify a transport :) Oh, don't forget the Taurox Prime and Salamander - I don't think anyone can challenge the Guard for variety of transports :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

march10k Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 So no Leather Personnel Carriers (LPCs, aka boots) either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 No, you're not allowed to wear boots - violates the Primer's divine texts. You must be barefoot or wearing munitorum issue socks while painting so you may properly ground yourself for optimum stability while holding the brush.

You must be barefoot or wearing munitorum issue socks while painting so you may properly ground yourself for optimum stability while holding the brush. Reminded me of my frustrations explaining that stormtroopers are not and never were IG. IIRC, in third edition (I started 40k about 3 months into 3rd), they were navy (or inquisition), Cadia has special forces called Kasrkin that follow the same game rules, but they're NOT stormtroopers, and now the stormtroopers come out of the same church orphanages as the sisters and commissars, but serve in ordo tempestus, which is under the adeptus administratum, but parallel to the IG, not part of them. They have the same boss as the IG, but the IG are not their boss. But while they've always been in C:IG, I don't recall them ever being fluffed out as part of the IG. Hell, when I fielded pure stormtroopers out of C:MT two weeks ago, almost nobody in the store was even aware that there was a separate codex for them (good marketing there, Nottingham!)

WarriorFish Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Stormies have always been separate to my knowledge too, I think the problem stems from the Kasrkin box replacing the Stormtroopers back in the day. To be fair to GW they did say that the Kasrkin were a part of the Cadian army and equal to Stormies in training but people ended up making assumptions (likely from never reading the background!). The poor advertising for the Tempestus codex is all on them though Oh speaking of which I'll be making a small order this weekend. Perhaps related to an incoming challenge, perhaps related to the MT... I feel like I deserve a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Maybe if I win the lottery this weekend ;) Sadly my tank collection was already quite large when this came out so it's not really viable for me. That said, I am adding a Russ I was planning on leaving for later thanks to your topic :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
