Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hail, fellow Phaerons, Overlords, Crypteks, and assorted hangers-on! ETL VI will soon be upon us! Let us prepare ourselves for this grand occasion and muster! Let us rise up from our tombs and show the mortals of this galaxy who are truly strong! Ready your forges, ready your legions! For when E Tenebris Lux arrives it shall not find us wanting! *end Phaeron Spiel* Okay, guys. ETLVI is gonna land soon, and we need to be ready to defend/prove our title of easiest painted army. I think we can crank out several thousand points per month between us (even if my own contribution will be relatively small. I really don't like having little disposable income). Let's come out in force, and kick the rest of the forum's collective butts. I think we have a good chance to win, or at least give Chaos a run for their money. They've won far too many times. It's time the true masters of the galaxy enforced our claim. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345853-call-to-action/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emicus Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Guess it's as good a time as any to assemble a bit of the plastic mountain :) Have 2 forgebanes and hoping to nab a few more Necron halves...

BadgersinHills Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Might be getting my hands on a Start Collecting!, so I'll work on my Forgebane stuff and maybe I'll have an army to field one day.

Indefragable Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Is this for building or painting? Painting would be fine. Building means I have to hold off actually assembling all the stuff i've picked up...something I am definitely reluctant to do.

Mr4Minutes Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Good thing this is the year of Necrons for me! No idea if I will be able to finish lots, family time restraints and all, but I’m in!

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 @Indefragable: the only thing that is scored is painting. Built but unpainted models are good for entry (but of course the more you build the more you can paint). More questions are probably best left to Captain Semper though.

fisheyedbunny Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Is there a rough start date in mind? Had a nosey around and wasnt able to see anything. Just so I know to hold off on what I have at the moment. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345853-call-to-action/#findComment-5047848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 I think Semper said about a month. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345853-call-to-action/#findComment-5048104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 ETL is usually mid May to Mid June. I am not too sure how long I can hold off painting my Dynasty, but I will try my best ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345853-call-to-action/#findComment-5048157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisheyedbunny Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Awesome thanks guys, I will try hold off Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345853-call-to-action/#findComment-5048727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Yeah, I'm holding off starting on any new models. I have some paint on most of my models but all the latest stuff I'm keeping bare for now.

Brother Chaplain Tyranus Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 How are necrons not the easiest? I recently started painting them and I primed them with leadbelcher and looked at the model for like 10 minutes wondering what I should do. I ended up dry brushing a little and painting the details. Way easier than my Marines Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345853-call-to-action/#findComment-5048999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Krash Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Necron's are seriously some of the best models to paint just because how quickly you can get great looking minis for such little time! This is going to be great! Krash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345853-call-to-action/#findComment-5049524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adorondak Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I just picked up Forgebane and a box of immortals, waiting to start painting is going to suck, but I'll be vowing about 600pts to start, and probably my whole 2000pt army (depending on if I can convince the wife to let me buy the rest within the ETL time frame. Which is always the hardest part of any of my hobby projects, unfortunately) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345853-call-to-action/#findComment-5051550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The Necrons mobilise! Good to see the Xenos rising to the challenge! The Necrons have a fantastic range and background - plus great flexibility to painting schemes. Their Codex is out too! :woot: I really want to see Xenos doing well in this 6th ETL. Good luck guys! Is there a rough start date in mind? Had a nosey around and wasnt able to see anything. Just so I know to hold off on what I have at the moment. Yes, well, early to mid-May is the rough guidance. But I will be making an official announcement soon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345853-call-to-action/#findComment-5055204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgersinHills Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Looking forward to ETL! Have a 1000 pts tournament on the 9th of June, so might as well get stuff painted for that.

Mr4Minutes Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 6 days and counting my fellow Phaerons! I’ve got a 700 point starting vow planned. If anyone has the command protocol to set your wife to “allow unlimited painting time” please send it my way. It’ll help me get a second vow going!

Mechanist Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Goging to be picking up a start collecting box on the afternoon of the 10th of may after my exam ETL seems like a great way to get the motivation to fully paint it.

fisheyedbunny Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Just finished building my Star Collecting in preparation for this one. 674 points is not a bad start :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345853-call-to-action/#findComment-5065947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Heya, unfortunately i have already vowed for the T'AU ...but i asked Captain Semper and i can make some "out of competition entries" Vows for necrons...i know it won't win us any points but i want to do some to get in on the fun with you guys/gals? and give myself a self imposed deadline for finishing some of my necrons! cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345853-call-to-action/#findComment-5066100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Welcome to all of you that are coming in to help the Necrons secure victory! For the Silent King! I've posted a recruitment thread in Amicus with the permission of Brother Tyler. May be a bit late, but maybe it'll convince people. BTW, I think we should make it a point of beating at least the nids, if only for the interspecies/inter-pangalactic threat rivalry. Be interesting to see how it pans out.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Captain Semper has posted the rules for this year’s ETL (he recommends even old hands read them in full), and will be posting the Outposts (previously Strategiums) as time permits. Let’s get ready to roll! Now I need to find a bucket and a bottle of Castrol Super clean (or whatever you guys recommend for stripping plastic) so I actually have some stuff to paint for ETL before I acquire new plastic.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 *headdesk* Right, sorry Mithril. Was going to post a link, but sleep happened. There should be a link in the Outpost, which I believe to be pinned to the top. Thanks for the recce of Super Clean, I shall try and find some very soon.
