Xenith Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Ok, here's the thing: you can only pledge for a single faction for the entire event. As such you cannot support the Codex faction even if you wanted to. So nothing you do here can benefit any other faction. Now as for the rest of the question, how you paint your minis is your call, not mine or anybody else's. So if you want to have yellow, blue or green BAs successors, be my guest. This is interesting...so I could I vow a squad of tactical marines to the BA forum, but paint them as a black and white 'successor'? Or some with err...flame and bone livery representing the fires of Sanguinius's rage? Pledge complete! Check you out, great work! Also, apologies, but in my head I keep pronouncing your name 'boudin' which is French for sausage. EDIT: In other news: Whirlwind Finished. In progress: Finished More pics in my Plog.

Captain Semper Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 @ Boudan: Congratulations for the first BA completion. Early completions are important in that it leaves the participant with ample time to vow again and vow big! And also the commitment is there because failing the second vow will also nullify the first. So again, congrats and look forward for your follow-up! Ok, here's the thing: you can only pledge for a single faction for the entire event. As such you cannot support the Codex faction even if you wanted to. So nothing you do here can benefit any other faction.Now as for the rest of the question, how you paint your minis is your call, not mine or anybody else's. So if you want to have yellow, blue or green BAs successors, be my guest. This is interesting...so I could I vow a squad of tactical marines to the BA forum, but paint them as a black and white 'successor'? Or some with err...flame and bone livery representing the fires of Sanguinius's rage? The short answer is yes. It is allowed by the rules because limiting that would also limit the creativity of the participants, something I actually want to encourage - not limit. However, painting a white and black BA successor is quite different to painting Black Templars. The difference is subtle but very significant. In the first case you genuinely painting BAs of your own inspiration whereas in the latter case you are just by-passing ETL rules. So here's where the spirit of the ETL comes into play (you can read more about it using the link in the first post of this thread). The idea is that people are encouraged to play in the Spirit of the ETL, i.e. don't use other faction's entries and hide behind the fact that all Marine factions have some interchangeable units. I will not be policing this, it is left up to the frater to comply on their own free will. if you want to paint Legion of the Damned and hide behind the fact that they can "count-as" BA tacticals then so be it. It's not in the Spirit but it's not against the rules. UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

evildrcheese Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Amazing work everyone it's great to see finished models at this early stage. Congrats to Boudan also on the first vow completed. What a Champ! Â Vow update. So I got the last of the black pre-shading done last night. Â Now I have a question, part of my vow is a razorback that I base coated many moons ago with preshading. I'm thinking if I mix some brown in with some red and hit the recesses (I.e the bits I would've pre-shaded) and then hit it with red again when it comes to apply the red base coat on everything will it look alright? Â Also, has anyone painted up some Cataphractii in BA colour as I'm in need of some inspiration.

Captain Semper Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 For the Cataphractii I have come to the conclusion that a metal colour on the braces in the back of the legs is very effective.

Â My well-done pods. I was going for more of a medium-rare... A little bit well done but they're still looking good. Frankly you get props for having the Baals to try some new techniques, it's the best way to learn. Â Take all the preshading I'm doing, I have no idea what I'm doing but hopefully it'll provide a learning curve for the future, although it doesn't help that my wife quite rightly pointed out I should probably have preshading and based coated one tank to see how it looks rather than preshading them all at once....

Jolemai Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Whats this forum champion thing all about Jolemai At the end of the ETL there are a bunch of awards handed out. Many of us get awards for our signatures that show how many pledges we made but there is a separate segment of awards known as the Banner of Excellence. Of these, the Frater who completes the most points will be hailed as the Forum Champion and will receive a unique banner for their signature/avatar. Here is last years: http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/ETL_2015_Badge_02_Forum_Champion_BA.jpg Previous winners: ETL I ~ Taranis ETL II ~ Gondow ETL III ~ tabgoi ETL IV ~ Just4uCupCake Other Banners of Excellence include the Badge of the Hero (pledge one 3k vow - EDC is on course for this), Badge of the Martyr (five x 3k vows ), Badge of the Artificer (Semper's top three favourites - this one may or may not happen this year). In my opinion, there should be recognition for those crazy people who pledge and complete a new vow in the last 72 hours of the event, but then I'm not in charge :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322380-e-tenebrae-lux-v-blood-angels-strategium/page/5/#findComment-4399537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
