Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hail Reclusiarch! I would like to get the following painted however I do know that my personal standing in the ETL to date has been horrendous. -Stormraven -2X Razorbacks -2X Baal Class Predators -2X Dreadnoughts Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321146-etl-v-brief-blood-angels/page/3/#findComment-4356101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red__Thirst Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Greetings, my brothers. I will be throwing my blade into this fray with a trio of Vows for starters, and eventually expanding to two more, depending on how quickly I can get things finished. First, Chaplain Lemartes, Guardian of the Lost will be my beginning Vow. Points wise, he's fairly steep for a Chaplain, and I intend to run him regularly in my force. Second, A Furioso Dreadnought armed with a Frag cannon and a Powerfist + underslung Heavy Flamer. Third, A Forgeworld Dreadnought Drop Pod. Beyond that, we'll see what else we can see. Lots of large models, and at least two of them are fairly expensive pieces. If I can get them all done quickly, I'll make a fourth Vow with some Assault Marines or Tactical marines. I would like to make more of a commitment but I'm working 2 jobs at present and free time has been woefully lacking of late. Looking forward to participating and I'll try and get photos up here. One quick question, I use army painter Dragon Red primer spray for my red models (Drop Pod and Dreadnought). Is that sufficient or do I have to show the primed models in black? Lemartes won't be a problem, as he'll be primed black anyway. Thanks for the information in advance and take it easy for now everyone. -Red__Thirst- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321146-etl-v-brief-blood-angels/page/3/#findComment-4356407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 first vow certainly : 1 stormraven. 1 stormeagle. 1 fireraptor. And if I am motivated : 1 leviathan. 1 land raider crusader. And if I'm really motivated : 1 predator Baal. 10 assault marines. 10 assault marines. We'll do our best to keep you going then. Of course, if we win the ETL Charlo is going to Youtube himself singing the Sanguine Rhapsody once we've finished composing it Ohhh is it time again? I'm not even going to speculate on what I may get done, but I have a lot to choose from. I wanted to mention on the subject of Librarians, I did a ML2 in TDA last year and modeled the epistolary symbol onto his right shoulder pad. Not too difficult to make up or probably even freehand. I was going to attach a picture of the badge but I couldn't find it right this moment. I've been wondering if foamcore plates could be done up to represent extra armor. Didn't you get permission from Captain Semper last year for the level 2? Basically, anything like that (including the foamcore) would again, likely, require his permission this time around. The best bet is to always post a picture. For example, there are old FW kits (spacer armour, reinforced armour) and some third party kits that could work for extra armour which I believe would be fine, but I'm only the messenger. Greetings, my brothers. I will be throwing my blade into this fray with a trio of Vows for starters, and eventually expanding to two more, depending on how quickly I can get things finished.

Lemartes won't be a problem, as he'll be primed black anyway. Thanks for the information in advance and take it easy for now everyone. -Red__Thirst- Anything you can do is welcome, just don't overstretch yourself; I know first hand what it's like to paint for the ETL deadline when there's little spare time (PhD, two kids, etc). As for the spray, if you are using it to undercoat then it's fine. If it's a basecoat over an undercoat then you'll have to talk to Captain Semper and hope he's feeling charitable...

appiah4 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Pardon me but taking part in the ETL is no easier than putting together a marine army for 7th edition, everything has been spread across half a dozen threads and I got burned out trying to figure out where I put my oath leave alone what the rules for the competition exactly are.. Can we not have a single thread with all the rules and information in it rather than linking to tidbits of it spread out between a lot of chatter all across the board? I mean, I'm not exactly stupid but I couldn't figure out where to post a vow, in what format, and how many vows I get to pledge etc..

I mean, I'm not exactly stupid but I couldn't figure out where to post a vow, in what format, and how many vows I get to pledge etc.. When the event begins, Captain Semper will create a thread called the Blood Angels Strategium. This is where vows for our Faction will be posted. In the meantime, this thread serves as a stop gap - it answers any questions that may crop up and the first post will be kept up to date with all the information we have available. The two links above your last post as simply to generate more interest for those who are still wondering who to pledge for (if at all). BA Today had some basic ETL information but has now been superseded by this thread for all things ETL as the build up increases. Basically, if you can't see an answer to any question on the first post of this thread I'll do my very best to get you and answer or find you one :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321146-etl-v-brief-blood-angels/page/3/#findComment-4356453 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm using it as the undercoat/primer coat over the bare plastic. Also, I paint before I assemble, so I'll blue-tack everything together after taking pictures of the sprues and then lay down the undercoat/primer coat and start painting. I'm also working to paint everything in my army to an exceedingly high standard. Here's an example of a rank and file tactical marine and a Death Company Marine: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/28/760078_md-.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/11/28/760073_md-.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/2/3/776113_md-.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/2/3/776112_md-.jpg Hopefully I can keep this quality up as I go.

Jolemai Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Do we post vows here, or just say we're taking part? Also what's the deadline for placing vows? This is the build up thread, so it's for information, hype and general purposes. When Captain Semper opens up the BA Strategium (which will either be on the 1st or the 15th May), vows get placed there. Once the event begins, you have one calendar month to make your first vow.

Boudan Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'm going to be a bit more strategic this year, and clear out my character backlog before I jump into low-calorie items like my pile of primed Razorbacks. Karlaen, chaplain x3, librarian, Techmarine will be my first vow I think. At 660 points, 6 miniatures seems like a good way to ease into ETL V.
