Dantioch Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Just put in my last big FW order until they release more IW models and Perturabo, Got quite a pile of resin to put to use during the ETL. Going to pledge them in stages. I'll use the ETL as a motivator to get a chunk of my army done. Here is what I've got unpainted currently: -x40 Tactical Marines -Autocannon squad -x10 Destroyers -x10 Breachers -My Warsmith -Sicaran Battle tank - Land Raider - x2 Predators - Contemptor Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/5/#findComment-3999637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I was reading last years chaos ETL strategum thread when I noticed a neat idea. Last year they had a mini competition between the servants of the chaos gods to see who could have the most points. It would be cool to have competition similar maybe loyalist vs non loyalist or you see which legion could do the most. Just an idea.

Well, we're kinda already doing that in the Casual Hobby thread (as lopsided as it sometimes is) so I think it'd be easy to port over for the rest of us down here!

GhostMalone Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well guys were 23 days out and we're getting some bug boasts so let's see if there's more to these loudmouth loyalists and traitors and get some stockpiles up as they arrive. In other news my Team Leader go fired right before easter, this means 2 things: -I'm now an acting Boss soon to be a permanent boss -I'm losing more hobby time and gaining more stress. Now I leave for the outback in 3 days and for the next 63 days I'm away. Now I will still be participating in the ETL granted not as much as I wish to be. I will however utilize my satellite up link (for paperwork and crap as I now have a ton load of daily bull:cuss) and stay in contact. This however limits my photos and updates till I come home every 19 days for a 2 day break with my fiance cat dog etc. Now I want everyone to give 112% on my behalf So brothers give them hell Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/5/#findComment-4000114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Assuming this comes with a pay raise, think of ot as a way to stockpile more money for bigger FW orders or more frequent ones at least. Sucks that you wont be participating as much! But you bet we'll give it our best shot, we're Legion sized, not puny chapter or warband sized! We also have better-than-guard non-modified-human support too! And stompy-killy robots And...*drones on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on..."

Moonstalker Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Isn't there a time limit on when we have to make our first vow after the ETL starts? I'm a little worried about having to make vows before I get my hands on book 5 for all the UM marking refs that are certain to be in it.

GhostMalone Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Iirc etl allows vowing up till the last month (think july) so latecomers are welcomed just plan accordingly. As for a pay rise slippy my young lad it's not worth the stress and hassle that comes with the role. But in saying that I thrive under pressure and love my job. Just not the drug rattled uneducated morons who I know have to try control. (Was fine working on my own doing my job but nooooo we can't let poor young Taron do that) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/5/#findComment-4000137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The time to submit your first vow (and thus declare participation in the ETL) is up to one month after the kick-off of the event. So assuming the event kicks-off on May 1st (working assumption for the time being) you have until June 1st to commit. Having said that you can always vow a token vow (a Centurion for example) just to make sure you're in and wait for Tempest (which may or may not come out in May) before you escalate. Beware though, you'll be liable for all vows - if you fail one, you fail all!

Reyner Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Well. I will be adding some Ultramarines to the ETL considering I am going to the Warhammer World grand opening on the 16th May :D With the rumoured Book 5, Guilliman and other awesomeness being on sale!

If it wasn't bad enough that the Templar steals our holy crusades and basically loyalists version of Word Bearers, now they are stealing our mini events. For shame Templar.

GhostMalone Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 So brothers my bags are packed and tomorrow's the day I roll on out; But in preparation news I got 2 leman russes for my Solar Auxillia and ordered 5 terminators for my tent siege terminators. I may be pushing the 3000pts stage very soon. In saying that though I'm considering another leman russ and malcador for my list. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/nmn3oAxGz5X-R6JW8Gopyh3M1QooLIm1G-wPr3aKPqoX7ixyI7oZBmIxfqedLO1b6jNa_AqIp7Nbf0Kt5_jv96_pCfMgqyW7yKzqbjgw500-h250-nc_zpsr491lfn8.gif So sharpen your blades restock your paints prime your stockpiles.

lionofjudah Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 My Archeon came in the mail today... Waiting on Polux and contemplating a glaive- honestly I don't think I can justify the glaive with all the points I've got wrapped up in a macharius and the knight now.... But I wants it;) Looking forward to assembling and priming everything in anticipation of the ETL. Really looking forward to painting up a Hawkshroud knight for my fists:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/5/#findComment-4002195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 So I never realized how expensive forgeworlds models were. Though I don't feel to bad about them any more after I bought a necron warrior squad. $40 for a couple of models yeesh. I'm planning on buying the legion mk4 strike force, night lords shoulder pads, and a terror squad head set. I was thinking of getting a couple of dreadnoughts since they are in 30k.

Ion Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 One advantage of living in Australia is that Forgeworld models are generally only a little bit more expensive than standard GW stuff.... or at least they were before our dollar decided to start digging itself a hole.

ThatOneMarshal Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 So it seems that those chaos upstarts will be trouble along with the angels of death and black templars. What do you guys think we can do differently from last year?

Ion Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Convince everyone that we should go on money value of the kits rather than points?

GhostMalone Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 I think Primarchs are the way to go purchase wise but our forum is known for quality over quantity. I don't think we should compromise on that factor. A lot of us have pre existing armies so this is the chance to purchase that LE achillies alpha or superheated or legion specific terminator squad you've always wanted or to add some high priced mech allies to your force Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/5/#findComment-4005193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu00sed Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Well due to ETL, part of my planned next purchase form forge world has changed from reinforcing my existing tactical and assault squads, to a trio of vorax battle-automata.

Combat_Vet Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'll be in it just to rid myself of this banner :) I'll be starting out with: 9 TW cavalry (counts as outriders) 9 man Tartaros terminator squad If I can complete these I'll go for 10 man tac's with rhinos/drop pods or a converted predator tank. I just have to come up with a decent penitence vow for this year. Not as much fun with out a little risk :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/5/#findComment-4007235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 My first vow is looking ok now, will be 5 man terror w/volkite and power axe, 3 attack bikes with autocannon and a plasma obliterator. Already more points than last year! If all goes well i should be picking up some cataphractii too.

GhostMalone Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Helterskelter my buddy I expect you to help Atia kizzdougs dantioch and me carry the ETL ;) And if not I'll set slipstream on to you with his nascent ramblings on a templars duty a blah blah blah :D But guys 16 days to go until it begins. I've ordered my achillies and I have my stuff ready at home. I'll prime them all when I return but I'm expecting us to all put in 110% no procrastination no excuses let's just aim for quality and playing smart Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/5/#findComment-4007650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hey what about me? Its almost as if your suggesting I am unreliable, that I have never finished a vow, that I constantly change projects ;) Seriously I am going to be sensible and vow something achievable. Any points is better then none.
