Teetengee Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hey guys, I would really love to participate in this, but browsing the rules has put a pretty big dent in my plans: Am I right in assuming that there's no feasible way of pledging my Chaos Knight (Imperial Knight converted to a Chaos Knight, to be precise) as part of this event when declaring for chaos? You'd be wrong! Imperial Knights are compatible with every faction in the ETL!!! So paint away! (it was in the rules btw - check out the Forums and Factions section) Oh mate, that's awesome! Thanks for clearing that up! I thought that Knights might be disallowed due to the "No allies" rule, but I am really glad I was wrong! So this may just be the perfect occasion to finally get that Chaos Knight painted, after all! As for Skitarii, even if they are not allowed as Skitarri, nobody would be stopping you from just pledging them as cultists, right? I mean that's probably easy enough to justify as a counts as solution?! Yeah, maybe even nurgle cultists to represent their added toughness.

Captain Semper Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Skitarii will only be available to the Mechanicum Forum. The frater that followed the rich background of the Mechanicum all those years and only had Titans to sate their thirst deserve a Codex to call their own as well as the lovely new minis that come along with it. And if the ETL is the reason to see more activity and newcomers to this particular part of B&C so much the better! It is well deserved and long overdue! :yes: Now if you guys want to play the age-old game of "count-as", it's fine by me! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305034-15th-black-crusadeaka-etl/page/6/#findComment-3999468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I have a question, looking through my moels, I see a csm with bolter and ccw, I plan on running him as a model with ultragrit, but can I get the 2 points for that or not?

Captain Semper Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Lets wait for the ETL to get up and running before we go into that detail... I'm not even sure I understand the question! :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305034-15th-black-crusadeaka-etl/page/6/#findComment-3999513 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, if you pay for the upgrade and it's modelled - yes. If he had a Bolt Pistol and CCW, you couldn't add the two points.

Probably has it stashed - I'm sure you'll be fine. Generally, the rule of thumb as it's modelled or can be justified, it's okay. Now if you claimed that Bolter was a Meltagun or whatever, that's when the problems begin to arise.

Radagast's Raiders Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm working on converting a Land Raider into a Relic Sicaran tank. Would this be acceptable? I'll be watching this with interest. Please take the time to record each step of the process.

ThatOneMarshal Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 The enthusiasm on this thread is contagious. I never thought chaos could be this enthusiastic about something. I hope you all keep the enthusiasm when the heresy beats you however!;). No but seriously I think that it will be a hard fought battle for first place. Chaos has some new things this year from IA 13, siege of vraks, and khorne daemonkin.

Teetengee Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 As much as we of chaos gripe and groan, we are still here because our models are the baddest, the biggest, the best, the most beautiful(ly horrifying) of all possible 40k miniatures. Considering this competition is all about that aspect of the hobby, rather than the rules, I wouldn't be that surprised about our ZEAL.

Luther - the fallen Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Well.. I plan to pledge my Daemonkin World Eaters force. So far I'm building: 1 Chaos Lord 24 Berzerkers 5 Terminators 10 Raptors 5 Warp Talons 48 Cultists 5 Possessed* 6 Blood Crushers* 1 Daemon Prince* 1 Blood Thirster* To this I still need to add the Bloodletters etc. * I still need to buy these miniatures next month I still need to actually recieve my Codex (tomorrow or Friday hopefully) to see what I've got, and how much that'll be. - Luther Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305034-15th-black-crusadeaka-etl/page/6/#findComment-4002099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlover Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 @Luther: That's a lot of Cultists. What's the plan, do batches of five between everything else? It just strikes me as a fantastic way to lose momentum otherwise. Trust me, I did 60 for the Call and nearly didn't manage it.

It just strikes me as a fantastic way to lose momentum otherwise. Trust me, I did 60 for the Call and nearly didn't manage it. Dragonlover I did mine in batches of ten and it was one of my most difficult challenges. The models are so amazingly detailed to do them justice is hard. And, I wanted the rag-tag look - my advice would be to go for more uniform colours, as you then expend far less energy switching between pots, brushes and colours! That said, I was delighted with how they came out - I earned those points :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305034-15th-black-crusadeaka-etl/page/6/#findComment-4002449 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonlover Somewhat uniform colours, and small batches between other units (using these other units as "rewards" for each completed batch of Cultists). but I have no doubt that the Cultists will be the hardest part of the army to get through.

Captain Semper Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Be that as it may, I encourage you to do the best effort possible. If you spend the proper amount of time the end result of well painted cultists would be greatly rewarding! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305034-15th-black-crusadeaka-etl/page/6/#findComment-4002539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luther - the fallen Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I won't tret them any worse that then rest of the army ;) .. Until they hit the tables that is.

Iron Skull Mask Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 ETL incoming! Yeah! I will definitely throw in a couple 100 pts of my own. Not sure what I'm going to paint though. Probably a few Terminators, a Heldrake and a Warpsmith, but we'll see.

Soldier of Dorn Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I still haven't painted, well, pretty much anything (except for my Black Legion Champion and my Morghast/Night Lords DP) so I'll be able to pledge 1500 pts, easy.
