Dracos Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Reports from the Watch Stations report the enemies of the Imperium are soon to gather their forces in great number. This is a call from the Lords of Terra (manipulated by the Inquisition of course) to all Astartes Chapters. Have the Techmarines open your armories, and prepare (paint) your forces to stand against the foul Xenos and traitorous Heretics. Prepare your Vows for ETL :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346013-call-to-all-chapters-of-the-adeptus-astartes-etl-is-upon-us/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Dear Mods; get this pinned!!! Despite having a massive pool of chapters who can contribute to our effort, last time in the ETL the Codex subforum finished in fourth place behind the Space Wolves, Heresy and Chaos. While this was an improvement on the previous year's 5th place, I know we can do better! Had a Land Speeder sitting unassembled in a box for 7 years? Now is the time to build it, ready for painting in the ETL! About to start painting a squad of Terminators? WAIT! In just a few works your efforts will help carry us to glory! I'll once again be vowing for the Codex Astartes and have a nice backlog of successor chapters and Primaris units to get cracking with once the curtain raises. My personal aim will be to better my points total from the last edition of the ETL. So everybody, get building, hold off on the painting for a little longer and get ready to chase down the big guys; Chaos and Heresy!

Brother Captain Ed Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I will be making a vow for the honor of the chapter and I hope my brothers will join me. I just wish posting pictures on the B&C was easier. It always seems to be finicky to me.

derLumpi Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I just started painting again. Although it is a knight I could practice a bit for the big event. I also prepared a priming station in our basement - good timing!!! Courage and Honour!

golfdeltafoxtrot Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I've just started painting again for the first time since 2005 and I'm quite enjoying it. Accountability is a good motivator for me so I'm hoping that ETL will spur me on. I need to get priming, and I need to repair the vehicles that have been sitting unloved and uncared for in a box for 15ish years. Then I'll be ready to bring glory to the Ravenspire.

Akylas Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Just bought a redemptor and primaris chaplain to pledge today. They're drying from their reassembly bath right now. Bought the easy to build redemptor by mistake but that's ok. :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346013-call-to-all-chapters-of-the-adeptus-astartes-etl-is-upon-us/#findComment-5055189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race Bannon Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 My first ETL. Should I get nervous now or wait for later? Later :P Plan now though and be realistic with ability and time. After that, paint for fun to get it done :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346013-call-to-all-chapters-of-the-adeptus-astartes-etl-is-upon-us/#findComment-5055385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfdeltafoxtrot Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 So it turns out I'd left my vehicles in their box for a long time for a reason. I'm missing half a Predator turret, which is annoying. The landspeeder was only half built, and rebuilding it was not only a colossal ball-ache but also revealed that I'm missing the pilot side cargo hatch cover. The dreadnought, however, was easily repaired and cleaned up. All this means I've got at least one vehicle potentially ready for ETL, possibly more if I can source some replacement parts for the other two.

Stark Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 To be clear, anything vowed for Adeptus Astartes counts - regardless of the chapter? Theoretically I could build Black Templars, Crimson Fists, Imperial Fists, Iron Hands, Raven Guard, Salamanders, Ultramarines, White Scars, or even DIYs for my vows, right? Thanks in advance.

Captain Semper Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The rule of thumb is, if it’s in the Space Marines Codex, it’s a legitimate entry for the Space Marines Forum.

Not that I've picked a definite chapter yet but I wanted to make sure of my options. I must get to planning and building now.

Captain Semper Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Great! Keep in mind that the options for the factions are not limited in the Codices but extend to other official publications... the exact lists will be provided once the rules become available but the idea is that Space Marines will generally have access to everything space mariney.. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346013-call-to-all-chapters-of-the-adeptus-astartes-etl-is-upon-us/#findComment-5055447 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stark Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I've been planning a few more model purchases for the ETL VI and came up with a question. Say I needed 14 lascannons (1 for each of my six TAC squads & 4 for each of my two DEV squads), would it be "ungentlemanly" to vow four DEV squads to cover the 14 lascannons? I would be building four squads rather than eight squads in order to get the heavy weapons I need built.

Captain Semper Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Well, yes... You should be vowing the units you actually want to paint. Some optimising is to be expected but the spirit of the game is not to overdo it. I cannot police this per se, if you say you want to paint four DEV squads, I cannot contest that, but you should paint what you really need. And remember, any optimisation will not win the ETL by itself. With the cap on points per vow, the real strength is to have as high participation as possible. To paraphrase W.O. Bentley, there is no replacement for participation. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346013-call-to-all-chapters-of-the-adeptus-astartes-etl-is-upon-us/#findComment-5056277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentley, there is no replacement for participation. I understand completely. Not trying to win this on my own, I was actually thinking of models I want to have for my army. This is my first ETL and while waiting with baited breath for the "official start" post as I read my codex, I can't resist having a few momentary delusions of grandeur. Besides, I don't know how many I could actually complete. Hmm, did you know 120 Legion of the Damned space marines equal 3000 points? (JUST KIDDING!!!) I will be sensible, I promise.

Hawklynn Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 New guys question here. When this launches, is this a SM only event? If not, can a participant do entries from more than one army?
