Memento Of Prospero Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The Iron Tenth will show the other flesh bag infested sub forums how it's done. Clan Tabarn'akk will pledge a first vow of 5,000 points. May my oil rot and cogs fail my augmented body should I fail in this endevour.

GhostMalone Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 28 Days Till ETL Now last year we undertook oaths of moment for failure within the ETL III arena. Now I thought as last year a lot of us did not complete our failed oaths that this year we could have a new direction in regards to failure. Last year Mordent Hex and myself pushed each other with challenges on matching points and super heavies. This year I thought that we could do a Post ETL failure badge and challenge each other within our forum to ensure we don't have to Wear the badge of shame till ETL V. This will help us with pushing forward even if we only pledge 1 model to at least ensure we complete our vow and judge if we can risk the shame of failing a second vow. We all love to boast but boasting wont win us the ETL this year. And in all honesty the Chaos forums slaughtered us. So plan your purchases and look at Primarchs as they are points heavy and can give us an edge at 400+ points a model its not to hard to overtake all the other forums and there superheavies. So Brothers prepare yourself as every day counts.

ROBOcaster Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 This will be my first time participating in the ETL I have 30 Medusan Immortals, 1 Spartan, 2 LR Phobos, 1 Ferrus Manus, 1 Sicaran battle tank, 1 Sicaran Venator, and 1 knight titan. Ive been telling myself I have been saving these big models for the ETL since I heard about the ETL, it helps me feel less lazy. I think we as a group have a very fair chance at winning this.

shandwen Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 If y'all really want to win: No 20-man blobs. Two 10-man squads are more points. There. An extra 50ish points per. It all adds up.

ThatOneMarshal Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hmm 2 10 man terror squads all with volklite chargers in drop pods. That what 300 points each?

GhostMalone Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Now we're all thinking, this is why chaos did so well last year plus they also had some massive vows. Now another trick is legion specific terminator squads, for example a basic terminator squad is 175 yet a basic tyrant siege terminator squad is 295 there's 125 pts more without upgrades like chain fists combi weapons etc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/2/#findComment-3995348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Seeker squad with combi plasma. Oh and multiple assualt squads. They are known for being really expensive right? We can use that to our advantage. Also siege breaker squads can be a fun little thing just have a couple of small squads of those.

Slips Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Argh i wish i still could paint my tanks! No way in hell am I stripping them and doing them over but a spartan, phobos, achilles and sicarian would have made for a nice little bump. That said, i have 40 tac marines so thats 600 not counting upgrades. 10 combi-weapon seekers, anothee 200+ right there. 10 phalanx warders: 255 pts, iirc, before upgrades 5 Templar brethren all with combat shields: 200 points there Deredeo Dreadnought fully kitted out: 240 (armored ceramite) 2 contemptors. 1 plasma cannon and power fist with plasma for ~200 and 1 kheres and chain fist with grab for another 200ish 5 heavy suppport with heavy flamers 150 ish, no? And Alexis Polux at ~200 For a total of 2k something points. I also have a bunch of characters that could be done as well; like 10ish going from 50 to 100+ points each depending. /crosses fingers.

Slips Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Well see that's dangerous territory as I know you and procrastination slip my young boy, maybe break it down into 500 point vows to not over stretch yourself That is the plan yes. Kinda shooting for that "most vows completed badge" and what better way than to MSV (multiple small vows) it?!? Heresy sub forum is destined to surprise this year, thats for sure!

GhostMalone Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Well if we can get smart about it we can show that in 2 ETL'S we've become a force to be reckoned with especially with our latest additions; I'm hoping not big things but impressive works from the likes of Heinrich flint kizzdougs and helterskelter. But also expect heaps from the casual hobby challenge boys; Kor'Vesh island DimDim robotcaster and you to slips. Also relict Rushbold robocaster Atia Castiel etc should already have us near 10000 from all of us which is a good start Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/2/#findComment-3995384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronotonic Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I might finally start my night lord legionnaires I have put together one ten man tact squad and halfway thru my second I also have 5 breacher guys 5 terminators and that leaves me 10 more marines for HQs and whatnot plus my two contemptor dreads could add up Or should j stay with chaos and pump out another 6k worth of models Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/2/#findComment-3995391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I suppose I could vow Lorgar and figure out how to make him look transcended, maybe Kor Phaeron and Erebus too. 3 models in 4 months should be doable.

helterskelter Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 To be fair there wasn't as much heresy model choice last year as there is now. This time round theres more people in the forum so we should be in a better position. Now my dilemma comes, I'm staring between my army list, a 150 quid budget (yay for extra work bonuses) and the forgeworld site. I honestly am struggling on what to place on the order form other than 2 packets of volkite chargers. See i'm quite proud of my night raptorinto terror squad conversions, alas it may not be as cost effective as I'd like to keep doing that, so I pose the question, what do I get? Having three terror squads (so needing to start 2 more) I'm thinking a pack of bolter bodies, a pack of despoiler bodies, 2 x volkite, conversion kit, and for added fun an NL contemptor with kheres and claw (converted chainglaive waiting on the desk for him), yay/nay? Also on my list is a veteran squad with MLs and some jetbikes and jump pack praetor, also like the look of the xiphon. Lend a brother a hand?

lionofjudah Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm excited as this is my first ETL here on the ship. My last ETL was in the guard and the wolves the year before. I'm saving my Fire Raptor, my Archeon, Polux and my combiplas seeker squad for this year.

The Eponymous M Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I've got 20 tactical legionnaires as well as 3 support squads in varying stages of assembly. (600ish points assuming I splurge on heavy weapons?) Would be nice to actually get around to painting something!

GhostMalone Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 All newcomers are welcome and remember were all here to help if we can. And guys don't forget ETL is a time for trying out new techniques as well as producing high quality additions to your new or existing forces.

Kor'Vesh Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hopefully if people pledge in the casual challenge as well as the ETL the monthly deadlines will help to encourage people to avoid monster vows - good chunks each month is a good way forward and if you and slips can help encourage people in the thread, and manage pledges I think we could generate a lot of points. Pledging smart is key too! Our pledges should be point inefficient wherever possible! It is not a Mortis contemptor with dual Kheres, it is a normal contemptor with two kheres - 25points for free. I'll be pledging a sicaran, predator executioner (though I might count the conversion Beamer with lascannons version as the type I use for extra points - it's all magnetised) and contemptor. That is my minimum aim, one a month. I'll have 15 infantry, 3 thallax and a grav rapier to add if I'm going well. Can we get points for additional options do you think? I'll want to paint both main guns and sponson options for my predator, and I will magnetise my contemptor too... Points for spare guns would be sweet...

Memento Of Prospero Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Alright I've planned out my Goal in miniatures for ETL. 3x Rapier with destroyer array 2x Contemptor 1x Deredeo 1x Sicaran 1x Venator 4x 5 man Gorgonators with 2 chainfists and a grav gun Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer with Orth 3x Fire Raptor And I guess I'll have to do a Thunderhawk too.
