Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 So I've been busy the past few days. I have assembled Krom, Ulrik, and Mc MurderFang Fangersson. Murder. I have been working on some Blood Claws as well, and have the legs and torsos for 15 of them cleaned and ready to glue. Here is my tactic for this years event- Keep it simple, RPR. For me focusing on a single model goes hand in hand with my interest in painting my HQ's before I get to the rank and file. But I don't want to just paint characters, so I am throwing a pack of Blood Claws to mix it up. I am thinking I will start with a single model and when that's done do the troops, then back to the HQ's as a 'reward'. I know that I work better when I have goals set that reward me. Since I am notorious for starting a project/model and then loosing interest it it (you should see my army...), I am setting the HQ as the aforementioned goal reward. Hopefully I can keep up with my aspirations and get my Drakeslayers army off the ground!!

Nanaki Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I will sign up for my first ETL for the Space Wolf Army! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321832-etl-5-the-master-thread-strategium-is-now-up/page/5/#findComment-4368837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanaki Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 In 3 months I think I can comfortably give you 1000 points. Being new to ETL and B&C I have no idea how to post photos on here though I must admit, but can I post a link to my Twitter and keep my WIP and completion on there? Can we also extend our pledge during the event?

Dantay VI Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hi Nanaki. Welcome to the Wolves, I hope you find us a friendly bunch. Your name is added to the rolecall & I have fired off a PM to you. I'll send you a step-by-step tutorial for setting up a gallery & for posting pictures shortly :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321832-etl-5-the-master-thread-strategium-is-now-up/page/5/#findComment-4368865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Thanks Dantay. Also make sure you declare everything in the dedicated ETL thread - when it becomes active.

Dantay VI Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Pre-ETL fun. http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/cypher.jpg The hunt . “You seem to be far from home, Angel. Why are you skulking in the domain of Wolves?” “We are here on the Emperors business Wolf. I demand you step aside and leave us to it?” The Wolf Lord glared at the interloper through the viewscreen of the Scraemeseax “We are all on the Emperors business. For that is why we were created, is it not? Once again I ask you. Why are you here?” The Dark Angel, aboard the Lions Wrath, returned the Wolfs glare with a steely look of his own “I do not answer to you, I travel under the orders of Grand Master Azrael. Now stop this charade and allow us past, so that we can do what we have been tasked to do.” “And I act on the orders of the Great Wolf!!" retorted Finvid Alreker "These are dark days, Angel. Much has happened & much has changed. It is now becoming harder to tell brother from traitor and there are many knives at out our back, in the dark, Angel. You are avoiding my question like an Eldar would dodge a bolt-round. So why should we trust you, when you give us no reason to. For the last time… You have entered the realm of the Wolves, unannounced and uninvited. What is your business here in the Great Wolfs domain?” The Dark Angel bowed his cowled head, as if in deep thought, this was not going as smoothly as he had hoped. In a terse voice came the Angels reply. “We were in the neighbouring sector, quelling a minor rebellion. We had completed our task when word reached us of further insurrection in this area. We simply came to offer our support Not to be held at gunpoint by brother Astartes.” The Wolf’s face cracked into a full smile. “See, now that was not so difficult was it? We have a few minor issues on Frostmourne. Someone has been stirring up the clans. A man of unknown provenance, wearing black power armour. Undoubtedly a Space Marine, he is an expert with his pistols. So much so, he has yet to draw his great sword and use it in defence of himself. So far he has evaded all attempts at capture, blasting clear with bolt & sun fire. His face is masked, so we cannot identify him, but he is a great warrior. It will bring me much honour in the Aett when I have hunted him down” Captain Sempers blood ran cold as he heard the description of the warrior, it could only be the one he has been chasing all these long years across the galaxy. Mastering his resolve he replied smoothly. “It would be an honour to hunt alongside your warriors & bring this unrest to a quick resolution, our Ravenwing are swift & deadly they could assist in running the quarry to ground allowing you to make the kill” Finvid's smile suddenly turned dangerous “Kill? No, no. You misunderstand me Angel. I intend to take this one alive! You are welcome to tag along though and watch how a real hunt is conducted” “My thanks, Jarl. We will be ready to join you momentarily” As communications were cut, the Captain turned to the black clad warrior on his left. "Javert, ready the Ravenwing. As soon as you are able, make for Frostmourne & secure the prize. Let none stand in your path, leave no witnesses.” “By your will Lord” On the bridge of Scraemesaeax Finvid Alreker, turns to his hearthguard. “He hides his face like the man we seek. There is more happening here than he is willing to share. This reeks of deception. Get the Lokyar ready and have them track the Angels. I wish to see why they are really here” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Okay, so we are still a few weeks away from commencing the ETL & we thought we could have a little fun and see if we could start getting the creative juices flowing. To this end we thought we could run a wee competition to create a model that is from outside the Space Wolves ranks, but can still be included in your ETL vow Cypher: The fallen Angel http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/hqdefault.jpg So the competition is for each person to create their own version of Cypher. Guidelines for the model are: 1. Must be in power armour 2. Must be wielding 2 pistols, 1 a bolt pistol, the other a plasma pistol 3. Must be carrying a sword (the true Cypher carries the fabled Lion sword) 4. His face must be concealed You can use a helmet, a cowl, robed hood or mask. Cypher is unidentifiable and is only known by his signature weapons. Guidelines for the competition are: 1. Two pictures minimum, 1 pre build and 1 post build, as evidence that you aren’t using a pre-made model. You can post as many WIP pictures as you like, in fact I would encourage it, so we can see how you progress. 2. Competition runs from now until 1st May. 3. Your Cypher may remain unpainted until the ETL commences. Cypher can legally be used by the Space Wolves, so you can vow him, as 190 points for 1 model is not to be sniffed at The more imaginative the better. You guys will be your own judges, so we will set up a poll of completed Cyphers and you can all vote for your favourite Good luck & Have fun!! http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/cypher-02.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321832-etl-5-the-master-thread-strategium-is-now-up/page/5/#findComment-4368994 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has stepped forward like no Wolf has in my memory, and deserves every accolade we can give him.

mactire Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Well put WLK, big thanks to Dantay for all the work and motivation. It's up to the rest of us now to show how the pack hunts together and reward his efforts by making this ETL one we as a Legion are proud of.

Nanaki Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Jå Wolf Lord! *crashes drinking horns amid roars* All of the Wolves have been awesome, and our WGPL Dantay has done a fantastic job, thanks for all your hard work brother! Let's reward Dantay with an army of awesome Wolf-Themed Cyphers! *still awaiting an order of bits on mine but will get pictures up before the 1st* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321832-etl-5-the-master-thread-strategium-is-now-up/page/5/#findComment-4370162 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has stepped forward like no Wolf has in my memory, and deserves every accolade we can give him. Already said so to him in the PMs. He's going into this fully prepared and with a fury, that rivals Morkai itself. Especially the "tutorial/intro" to ETL, for all the newcomers. He's an example to all of the Rout.

alakinsky Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 QUESTION! Can I vow a diorama? Or does it have to be playable in a game? For example, what if I make a diorama with a Space Wolf killing Cypher? Like a WGBL, say. Could it work if each had their own separate model that can be removed from the diorama base? Thank you Wolf Brothers!

Thank you Wolf Brothers! I'm no Wolf Brother but here's your answer: the ETL is about legal, playable, wysiwyg units. HOWEVER there is an often overlooked part of it called "out-of-competition entries" to cover exactly that. Some people want to use the ETL for motivation to paint their projects that for whatever reason don't fit in the ETL rules. So they can join in the fun and do an out-of-competition entry which is exactly like a normal one (i.e. it would earn you the Custos Fidei if you complete it on time) but will add NO points to your faction. But at least you get to paint what you want to paint and you get to inspire your fellow Wolves. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321832-etl-5-the-master-thread-strategium-is-now-up/page/5/#findComment-4370301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
