Joe Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hey all, I just wanted to run an idea past the administration and other forum goers that's been floating around in my head for a while now that's been given a greater sense of context since the Gathering Storm: Fall of Cadia announcement earlier today. For a while now, I've wanted to run an ETL-esque event using the Kill Team system, specifically the Heralds of Ruin expansion for access to a wider variety of lists, offering far greater flexibility to the participants. With the announcement of the Fall of Cadia earlier today it occurred to me that, come January, it would be the ideal time to host an event like that; to take advantage of the new fluff, the advancement of the plot, and take the time to make some more unique models as opposed to your average, everyday Space Marine or Imperial Guardsman. Assuming that you place an emphasis on points values and because there's so many lists to choose from it'd be split as Defenders of Mankind vs. Tide of Chaos, or something to that effect, otherwise you'd wind up with an over saturation of points in some factions and practically none in the others. With that in mind, whilst a point-based system would encourage a sense of competitiveness, it'd really be about the individual models and characters that make up your kill team. How you've converted them, whether or not you've written any fluff for them, etc. It's not something you'd be judged on specifically, but it's something to impress your fellow forum-goers with. Anyhow, it was just a thought. I sort of copped out on helping with the Ultramarines event for various reasons, but this is definitely something I'd like to hit full force. Ideally, it'd probably run January - late February/March, once the new book is out.

Kurgan the Lurker Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Loyalty and Treachery is coming up pretty soon so I'm not sure if another event can be managed. But I will point the events team to this thread so they can look it over.

Atia Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I have no idea what Loyalty and Treachery is, but I'll check that out. Cheers for the response. \o Horus Heresy :) A bit like Call of Chaos, but cooler. If I remember it right, you didn't have to finish all your vows to get a banner :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/328976-etl-esque-kill-team-event-to-coincide-with-fall-of-cadia/#findComment-4599107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
