Operative Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Olis your enthusiasm is so contagious Previously I thought I wouldn't be able to participate as exams would stop me from getting any Alpha Legion units assembled before the deadline but after looking through my collection I may be able to make a pledge for the Solar Auxilia. As a previous Imperial Guard player I have 2 Leman Russes available however there may (or may not) be a slight complication. Both are fully built with 1 being painted and the other not. However if its allowed I plan to strip the paint off the painted tank and repaint it for the ETL (it was painted a good few years ago and could use re-purposing) and I couldn't find any mention in the rules to this. Hopefully this is acceptable, after all I'm doing it with good intentions and I definitely don't plan on corner cutting.

Smokey Panda Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I've got my first vow nearly complete (bah on waiting for washes to dry!). The next one just arrived yesterday and is already primed and ready to roll.

Hopefully this is acceptable, after all I'm doing it with good intentions and I definitely don't plan on corner cutting. Thanks. Luckily for you, as long as the model is at the most in the early stages of painting (which by my count means pretty much one basecoat), then you're okay. So stripping a model back so that you can enter it is perfectly valid. I've got my first vow nearly complete (bah on waiting for washes to dry!). The next one just arrived yesterday and is already primed and ready to roll. Good man. I look forward to your announcement.

Olis Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Kurama, how are things going with our ringers reserves? I hear there's been positive noise over on Heresy 30k, correct?

GhostMalone Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Looks like so far I've pulled 10 blokes from heresy 30k, ill do another big write up to bring some blokes over. I know Mike French who's one of my big inspirations is looking at what he can bring to the table. I'll be getting in contact with my boys at ww40k see if my fellow OzStralians can bring some stuff to the party as well. But if I have to ill just keep painting and pledging to give us the edge Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307211-etl-iv-last-call-get-in-while-you-still-can/page/2/#findComment-4036602 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Apologist or grand master 85. They are both mods there.

GhostMalone Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yeah I did think of reaching out there but I don't consider myself as super active over there Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307211-etl-iv-last-call-get-in-while-you-still-can/page/2/#findComment-4036953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yeah I did think of reaching out there but I don't consider myself as super active over there To be fair, I don't even have an account there (yet). Nevertheless, I've PM'd Apologist. The response so far looks favourable, but I'm just putting out feelers at the moment.

Daemon2027 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 So my post over on the First Expedition has 0 responses. Maybe should have asked Apologist to do it. It's because I'm XIXth Legion, we inspire in deeds not words!

Olis Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 We'll have to wait and see if Apologist comes back to me with news, I suppose.

Daemon2027 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Its been a little quiet over there for a while. Shame because there is a nice little crowd and some of the real early Heresy moddelers before Forge World started making kits there.

Reyner Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Ok I am itching now as Forgeworld still haven't said anything about what is going to be available on Saturday... So I checked what I have and my idea is to paint up my Praetor (which in his current pose makes me think of Darth Vader for some reason) and a kitted out Veteran squad (got 6 built at the minute, 4 FW MK4s and a kitbashed veteran sarge from Sternguard parts). So I am thinking of pledging these guys and then whatever I pick up on Saturday will be the second vow. Depending how I kit them out this vow could be around 300 points...

Olis Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Sounds fine, Reyner. Make a small pledge to register yourself as a participant - the real meat and potatoes that you're planning can come later. On a different note - Apologist has asked me to make a summary of what the ETL is. So it looks like we might be branching out. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307211-etl-iv-last-call-get-in-while-you-still-can/page/2/#findComment-4039710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperion Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The First Expedition has been a little quiet of late, right enough, but I think we'll get a few more Heresy types to contribute! I'm going to make my initial vow just now. (I'm Hyperion over on TFE btw).

Olis Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Good man. I wonder... if we keep doing this sort of thing, would the ETL become something other boards would anticipate too? Edit - Before I checked, I hadn't realised we have the honour of seeing an Admin pledge for our illustrious forum. Welcome aboard. Let's hope more follow behind you. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307211-etl-iv-last-call-get-in-while-you-still-can/page/2/#findComment-4040651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 http://www.rocketshipgames.com/blogs/tjkopena/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Know_No_Fear_huge.jpg Brothers and sisters! I foresee a great threat on the horizon! The corrupted denizens of Chaos intend to quintuple their efforts! Quintuple, I say! We cannot have this. Nay, no slave to the foul powers can overturn our might. None. We have momentum on our side, we have determination too. We even have participants coming from far and wide to aid us. We must keep up the pressure and deny the Chaos subforum the opportunity they seek. We have a lead measured in the tens of thousands of points and we hold a respectable completion rate, too. But we cannot rest on our laurels. Oh no. We still have the Week 3 blues to brutally quash and the final week of recruitment to endure. I ask each one of you that read this, seek others to join the fray, seek those of like minds to hold back the squirming, slithering hordes*. This is our race to win, and damn it all if we let it slip from our grasp. We are Legion, my brothers and sisters! We have the Glaives and the Fellblades. We have the Reavers and the infantry. We shall drown them in resin - let them flail blindly in our discarded flash. Let them see the conversions, magnificent they shall be. Let them see our colours. This is our ETL. * Just bear in mind - no pestering, eh? No means no.

Aias Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 By getting their fraters to double and quadruple down on their pledges, you realize what this means? They're admitting they can't get any more new recruits and will simply have to hit us in points. They're backing themselves into pledges that some of them can't keep. So let's keep getting more people and show them what the true power of the Legion was.
