Uprising Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Just wondering, how many of you would like a Tyranid sub forum event, and what type of event? Thank you for your thoughts.

Cryptix Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 How about a converting event, where you take any of our creatures, make a character version of it with homebrew rules, and the most liked wins?

Xenith Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'd be up for a tale of gamers slow grow challenge, say building and painting 1-2 units per month. At the moment I'm not interested in competitively cranking out as many poorly painted models as possible (ETL style). our_baz and A D-B 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337724-tyranid-community-event/#findComment-4847582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 I was thinking of running a event with this structure thoughts? Month 1: 1 unit of choice Month 2: 1 unit of choice plus 1 HQ Month 3: 1 unit of choice Month 4: 1 unit of choice plus 1 other unit Month 5: 1 unit of choice Month 6: 1 unit of choice So we have awards like best converted, best painted, best overall, best story.

Those are a bit too vague for me - it would be nice to work through the force org chart, perhaps? Month 1: 1 TROOPS unit of choice Month 2: 1 HQ unit of choice plus one TROOP unit Month 3: 1 ELITE unit of choice Month 4: 1 HEAVY SUPPORT unit of choice plus 1 other unit Month 5: 1 FAST ATTACK unit of choice Month 6: 1 TROOP plus 1 other unit of choice This will give people a usable army after 2 months (smallest force org), and enough for the larger force org chart after 6 months.

our_baz Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'd be up for a tale of gamers slow grow challenge, say building and painting 1-2 units per month. This sounds good. This could help motivate me towards getting my swarm painted. Where do I sign up?

I would like to give people freedom of choice. If you want to do those units, then you can but I know some who only want to paint troops.

We would be glad to have you. Mods and I are going over the detail. I will be announcing when it's ready.

Xenith Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 So basically it's that I said in the third post, paint a minimum 1 unit per month, or as many as you like. A single, central thread to keep track of everyone, people must pledge the unit at the start of the month, post painted pics by the end of the month. If you fail to post the painted unit, you have to post 2 painted units next month to not demoralise people or kick them out for failing. Largest pledged army after 6months is crowned champion. walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337724-tyranid-community-event/#findComment-4854174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see everyone there. our_baz, Xenith and Predator X 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337724-tyranid-community-event/#findComment-4873918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Awesome. I just bought some more stuff, looking forward to getting some paint on it and seeing others armies grow.
