SW1 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 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 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321832-etl-5-the-master-thread-strategium-is-now-up/page/14/#findComment-4392906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 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.

Dantay VI Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 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.

codyrstuart Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Definitely not a Blood Claw anymore, but personally I still enjoy your tip posting, Danny. May even encourage me to try even more techniques. I wish we had done something similar sooner.

Dantay VI Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 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.

Dantay VI Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 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.

Dantay VI Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 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!!

Yoyo ninja Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I can't wait to get started, my first vow is sat on my painting desk starring at me desperate for some colour to be added. Do we have to wait till a certain time tomorrow or is it just after midnight?

Dantay VI Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 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!!

anselneo Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 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. http://www.blacklibrary.com/Downloads/Product/PDF/white%20dwarf/WD_How_to_Photograph_Miniatures.pdf Also results of the above mentioned guilde ( given that i have only one lamp and a bad camera)..

Dantay VI Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 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!!

lovesmuffins Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 My brush is ready. I have 750-950 points to vow up front and some more sitting just waiting to be tallied up after the first vow is complete. Yay for high point cost low count units!

Ch@oZ Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 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?

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...
