Unforgiven, ETL V will soon be upon us!

[Captain Semper]

I'm going to walk the Path of Redemption and cleanse the stain of shame. Count me in, my Brothers! Together we will show that traitorous scum how true Sons of the Lion fight and WIN!

By shooting their brothers and blowing up their homeworld?

The Dark Angels way! :devil:

BTW, I don't know what you mean...

[SW1]

A rather agreeable chap called Cypher popped in to let us know what your up to. He gave us a 190 point plan to boost our attack. :p :devil:

[Harleqvin]

When is this starting?

[Captain Semper]

Either May 1st or May 15th... Will keep you posted.

[Brother Syddraf]

So get busy all and get out your plastic piles of models.

 

Spend the day stripping models and making lists. Can't wait for it to start

[elmo]

15th is better for me as it gives me more time to prepare and prime the 3rd

 

Also the ravenwing battle box has turned up :)

[Lostrael]

Just primed some stuff yesterday. This little guy was looking at me with big round optics. "Paint me I heard it say"

*must remain strong*

[Chmur]

The later the start the better... 

 

How long is it supposed to run? 3 months? Just asking so I can estimate how much should I pledge, as the things I have and need finishing up start piling :)

[Captain Semper]

Three months! :)

[TheForgottenAngel]

I'm getting in on this! List will be up later today! Just base coated my pledge! It'll be a demi company minus! I already painted up my Plasma Destroyer sadly!

The SWs are getting cocky... We should teach them to learn their place!

 

As a an aside they are doing a "do your own Cypher" competition in tandem with the ETL. You can find the relevant thread here in case any of you want to join. Just to point out though, Cypher does not earn you any points for the ETL. For us it would be an out-of-competition entry. ;)

[Guest]

Good Captain could we not do Our own Wolf :) I have a great idea :)

[Captain Semper]

Please elaborate! :)

[Chmur]

So, just finished putting it together what is there to paint, now I will need to prime it all up so it's ready for ETL kick off. Altogether it comes down to 1010 points, most of the stuff rather "basic" so I shouldn't have any issues finishing in time for high completion rate. Scariest thing there are the DW knights, but hopefully I'll be able to follow OrcPainterNerd's tutorial on them and make us proud.

Gilad - Interrogator-Chaplain (140pts)
··Power Armour [Crozius Arcanum, Jump Infantry, Plasma Pistol]

Master Baradiel (counts as Belial) - Belial (190pts) [storm Bolter and Sword of Silence]

Skathach - Interrogator-Chaplain (140pts)

Ravenwing Land Speeders (70pts)
··Ravenwing Land Speeder [Assault Cannon, Heavy Bolter]

 

Question regarding the priming - is preshading allowed since I do it as part of priming, or does priming mean "single colour only"? Don't want to screw it up.

[Captain Semper]

The idea is to start working on the mini once the ETL starts. Shading seems like an extra layer of work so I'd say wait for the event to kick-off.

We could make a Cypher-equivalent from some SW hq. A Rune-priest converted to DA or to chaos maybe?

I think I'm going to build a DA-champion with a dead SW-champion at his feet.

[Chmur]

Seems to straightforward, maybe made-up SW hq? Like overblinged with Viking themed bling? Giant many-head axe, so many pelts you cannot see the power armour under it?

Dark Angel chasing Wolves with a vacum cleaner?

Dark Angel chasing Wolves with a vacum cleaner?

Oh man, I wish i had the modelling skillz to build something like that.

EDIT: I knew I have seen that scenario somewhere before:

Just started making a vacum for my dancing freddy mercury/Cypher mini. Bit of brass tube and a greenstuff bag so far, having a look for.some gubbins that might work as the sucky bit (might just stick my chaos dex to the end :lol: )

I think a little Henry vacum would be easy to do. Just cut down a oil barrel from one of the terrain kits and some form of tube for the pipe. then just draw a face onto it.

[JeffJedi]

Not a face, a servo skull.

Vow failure = Painting a Space Wolf .... The most horrible of any punishment :)

Honestly brother, that isn't really a threat.

I already painted a space wolf and found him quite cute.

Those are awesome! Are they scratchbuild or some converted toy?

[Slave to Darkness]

Some company made them a few years ago, cant remember the name, just google chibbi primarchs and you should fine em.

Good idea. Much more grimdark.
