Olis Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I think an important question for Kurama at this time is... is any of that choom related? :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320553-etl-v-motivation-and-preparation-aod-unite/page/7/#findComment-4344450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Well now there is choom but choom can't be dropped until fw release those wolves torsos unfortunately. If fw happen to release the helmets Pads and torsos I've got now nearly 200 MkIV bodies and a third will be bearing choom Edit: it's good to wake up to this thread and all you guys, let's just say it looks like heaps but points wise it's not even a drop in the bucket compared to what the forum will do as whole, I could get a warlord titan ready for next years event but I'm currently staring it down in its box going nope not today (it's been like this for a good 2 months now). Now guys remember this is about inspiration and if my hectic buying and building schedule doesn't motivate you guys I don't know what will. Sell your children your organs stockpile your resin build and prime your resin, then when etl commences fake your death and don't return to work till your vows are complete Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320553-etl-v-motivation-and-preparation-aod-unite/page/7/#findComment-4344462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Lol fake your death had me laughing out loud at work. Most go 'call in sick' which I did last year BTW, but no 'FAKE DEATH' is a whole other level.

The Acid Dog Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I've never taken part in ETL before... should... should I save a bulk of my Death Guard for this? The future is so uncertain.

Olis Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I've never taken part in ETL before... should... should I save a bulk of my Death Guard for this? The future is so uncertain. Think about how much you can do in three months and plan accordingly. I'm not saying this as encouragement, I'm seriously advising you to be certain in what commitments you make. If you think you could definitely do a squad, pledge a squad and leave everything else for a potential later vow. If you are absolutely certain you could do half an army, go for it. Just bear in mind that if anyone does not fulfill their vow, it gets taken off the subforum's total completions at the end.

As much as we would love for everyone to vow big, that's the thing that sunk our victory at the end of last etl completions are the goal.

Olis Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Also something to consider - points density. If you can vow a squad as the most expensive thing you can find that they can plausibly represent (saaaay... veteran tacticals and not just regular tacticals even if they are never going to be played that way) then do so. If you have to choose between a rhino to paint or a predator, choose the predator. Get the most bang for your buck, pledge-wise.

I've managed to bang out 4,000ish points of Guard in about 30 days before (I am very proud of pulling that off), but I'll be sure to gauge my motivation before I decide whether or not to jump in. I think, though, that there'll be some Grave Wardens involved, at the very least. Hopefully Breachers, too!

Olis Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 but I'll be sure to gauge my motivation before I decide whether or not to jump in. Just so you know brother - after month number one, the gates close to any new Fraters wishing to pledge. Those that have already pledged can continue to repledge (up to five in total including your original vow) but the gates, in effect, well and truly close. So, if you are going to do it, get in while the gates are open. But not until May.

GhostMalone Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 And don't be too cheesy be smart, chaos know how to unite with these events, we however always drift apart towards the end. Motivate your mates and fraters Give good feedback and always improve your skills. And don't forget to equip those hunter killer missiles whenever possible. Gove your guys an extra cc weapon and model it accordingly don't be too Points greedy as its against the spirit of etl Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320553-etl-v-motivation-and-preparation-aod-unite/page/7/#findComment-4344664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Good golly karuma... I thought there was a Komodo hiding behind the boxes for a second and then I realized it was ALL RESINCRAK!!! Here's my humble offering (I am new owner and the previous owner had the joy of building and priming her and I will abstain until the ETL begins) http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpslw64eugp.jpeg And the cool part are these rad Machinator tracks: http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i444/Default75/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsn9nmykin.jpeg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320553-etl-v-motivation-and-preparation-aod-unite/page/7/#findComment-4344727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zujara Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I have a bunch of Raven Guard and a Knight waiting for the etl this year, as well as a Warp Cult I am starting to build. Will stick to the same plan I did last year and split it into 5 vows, just in case motivation slows down or something comes up!

Marshal Rohr Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Auxilia might not be the best choice. You'll spend all summer painting 300 models and points wise it'll be in the low thousands.

Kriegsmacht Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 At least he'll have the miniatures finished. Thought that was the point of ETL to motivate people in finishing their projects or try something new. Not how many points they can score.

Dragonlover Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yeah, but if you've got a choice between the ten guy that score fifty points or the ten that score 200 and you're not fussed what one you do, the choice is clear. It's why I always advise against Chaos cultists. Way too much effort for the points in the context of the ETL. Doesn't stop people doing them mind.
