ETL 5, The Master Thread. Strategium is now UP!


Dantay VI

Recommended Posts

Yes I'm a fool, I want to paint more wolves than Kurama does this ETL. If I fail I want another here to do it. So enough of the smack talk Kurama, just bring on the Murdermake!!! :devil:

 

Also the ETL works on GMT for it's start/end time so there's no jumping the gun Kurama. :p

Okay folks.

 

48 hour warning mark!!

 

I hope that preparations are well underway.

 

Please please, spend a little time today to go over the codex and/or supplements. Now is the time to make sure that you have worked out the points costs for all your pledged models, so we can hit the ground running.

 

When pledging: List the model or unit type, and upgrades, but only give the TOTAL cost for each model or unit.

If you are vowing more than one unit/item, then put a grand total at the end. 

 

Thanks

 

Danny

 

My house will either fall or triumph now on their own accord, unfortunately I did what I can now it's time to see oli they heed my call.

 

I expect great things my fellow dogs of war I hope you destroy those fools over in the chaos wastes and prove yourselves to truly wear the crown this year

Much like previous weeks, I have posted in the main forum a wee guide or thought.

These go to the new guys first and then after several days they go on to the Wolves forum to be shared with the whole pack.

Unfortunately I do not know of a way to keep this away from the other forums (Booooo!!!)

 

This year more than any other I have to say I am proud of us as a forum, and I hope for great things.

If we win this year then great, if we do not then as long as we gave our all I will be as happy as Icetooth with a chew-toy

 

So lets stick together, support one another and have a kick-ass time.

 

Hope what is below will be of some use to you guys.

 

Oh, and listen to Joeyberry, she knows what is what!! + wet pallette tips from tabletop minions

 

Hi,

 

I hope you are having fun and are ready to go!!

 

I know we are all at different places in our hobbying journey, some are amazing builders and others amazing painters, then there are those of us, who fall somewhere in between.

 

I am not going to try and lecture you or teach you how to paint. Like I said in the modelling section, painting Space Wolves is very subjective & we all have our own recipes and colours which we like to use.

For example a lot of my Space Wolves are now becoming Mechanicus Standard Grey rather than The Fang!

 

For me there is so much more to paint than the armour, so this guide is more hints, tips for getting going and painting all the accessory parts, like plasma glow, fur, lenses, skin etc. I really hope these help you out.

 

As most people do not have airbrushes, I have concentrated mainly on using brushes only, but if folks want airbrush stuff I will see what I can find.

 

Let me know what you find useful or useless and let s see if we can build up a great repository for the Fang.

 

Any questions, just shout.

 

Thanks

 

Danny

Thanks Cody.

 

I am glad that folks find them useful!!

 

I am trying to piece together a photography guide, including how to make a cheap light box.

 

Look if folks have any wolf elated ideas of what they would like to see in any of the tip posts, then let me know.

 

Hopefully we can build a really good database which will help everyone from beginners to those with really advanced techniques.

Space Wolves Contemptor can be found in IA:Apocalypse.

 

I an dig up the rules tonight if you need them. They have a dark & storied past, so you have to buy them sagas :D

 

No mortis patterns though.

 

I have my Contemptor sitting ready for a later vow.

Semper: If one of us did a Bran Redmaw model, but made it with magnetised wulfen head and arms to represent the change into Redmaw, would that be okay?.

 

Nope. Two models. Side by side. :devil:

Just finished calculating my first vow's points and i stand at 

1 runepriest (runic armor+mastery lvl 2)  110 pts

1 grey hunter's pack at 273 pts 

and a cypher (i think) 190 pts

 

although i still feel that Cpt Semper needs to give me the Ok to use my cypher

I believe in the Cypher data slate mentions that he can be included in any battle forged army of either Chaos Space Marines or Armies of the Imperium bar DAs. So yeah, Cypher is a legal choice for SWs. smile.png

We are now 1 day away from ETL!!

 

Remember to make sure all your models are WYSIWYG

(What You See Is What You Get)

If you state melta-bomb, make sure there are melta-bombs on the model.

If the model has a counts-as item on it, make sure it is clearly stated in the model description.

If in doubt, ask!!

 

Good luck

 

Danny

Hi Yoyo.

 

You have to wait until the strategium is unlocked.

 

The locked strategium will be pinned in our forum sometime today. This will give you a chance to look at this years rules before we start and will allow you to ask any questions that you might have

 

Captain Semper will unlock the strategium sometime either late tonight or early on Sunday (GMT).

 

At that point we can submit our vows, post our Pre-paint picture and get cracking!!

Games workshop is running a flyer competition over at the warhammer 40K facebook page. They have a handy guide to photograph your miniatures, so I thought I'd share this here in case it has'nt been posted already.

Also results of the above mentioned guilde ( given that i have only one lamp and a bad camera)..

Good luck folks, it's getting closer :)

Okay folks,


 


Just another quick reminder:


 


Make sure that you take a pre-paint picture before beginning your vow!!


 


This is your proof that you have not jumped the gun.


 


Any models that do not have a pre-paint picture will be removed from your vow.


 


Pictures of primed models are perfectly okay.


 


You can post your vow first, then post your picture any time after, but you MUST have the pre-painting picture up before you start the painting.


 


We trust you enough that pictures do not need to be date-stamped. Please do not abuse that trust!


 


Have fun out there!!


 


Danny


Quick question here:

Wolf guard squad leaders- if one is armed with a power fist and combimelta, does he keep the bolt pistol?

The codex states that they "take items" not that they replace them.

The question here is twofold- does he keep the pistol and get +1A and do i need to put at least a holster on the model?

From an ETL perspective it's indifferent. If he has the bolt pistol as part of his standard equipment (i.e. in his base points value) you don't have to model it, unless you want to. Same applies for frag grenades for example...
