Iron Father Ferrum Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Nine days to prep, gentlemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlover Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Yeah, looks like my second Fire Raptor won't be with me in time for the opening of the event, so I may well split my Alpha Legion into two vows. Not that I have the foggiest what colour scheme I'm going to do them in, I just know it's gonna use a Macragge Blue basecoat. Dragonlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Ladies and gentlemen, start your (daemon) engines! As IFF said, 1st of may is the start date and we have a placement to defend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 All of my Emperor's Children stuff, aside from the cultists is in, and my Gigantic Chaos Spawn is mostly fully assembled. I just need to start doing the greenstuff work for this monster :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart1223 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Got my 2000 point list planned out. Going with my Slaughterkin World Eater’s Warband as they are in the best shape build wise. I got this coming Friday off for some final prep. Blood for the Blood God!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlover Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Just in case folks haven't seen, it's now just a maximum 20,000 points in five vows, with no cap on any individual vow. Dragonlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 20k... Easy... If I had not sold off most of my armies. :,( Could I glue bits to myself and pass it off as a scratchbuilt titan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Sooooo...turns out that a Land Raider Hades Diabolus, fully kitted with combi-bolter pintle and havoc launcher, is 387 points. So that's now something you know. >=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic_cauldron Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Ok, so I know now what I'll be starting starting with: - 10 Night Lord Havocs (plasma guns) + 1 Rhino; - 5 Night Lord Havocs (autocanons); - 10 Wordbearers Havocs (flame throwers); - 1 Iron Warrior Rhino; - 1 World Eater Rhino. Total: circa 721 points. Celtic_Cauldron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Errr....I just pointed it out manually? The way everything else can be manually pointed. Just because it's not intended for matched play, I can't vow it? If so, that is *exceedingly* disappointing. Edit: I mean, the only difference in points is the lack of the Reaper autocannon so in the end it's not a huge problem. I had just hyped myself up for something new and different is all.

That could make it. If you take also a video featuring yourself as a Titan and dancing at the same time, maybe can we claim some bonus for motorizing a scratch built mini...

Just because it's not intended for matched play, I can't vow it? If so, that is *exceedingly* disappointing. OK, I hear you... I thought I might have missed something... Well the thing is, there are no official points for it. I was also disappointed when I realised there were no points attached to them - especially the Dark Angels one... But the entire ETL is based on official points which the Hades doesn't have. However, you can always pledge it as a "count-as" of a Land Raider version of your choosing. You will let go of some points from what you calculated but you get to paint what you want and still contribute significant points to your forum/faction.

Iron Father Ferrum Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Here's the thing about that. I don't understand the argument that aren't official points for it. There are no point values for anything in a Codex on their datasheet. You just look at the datasheet, identify the base model and all equipment, then pull the points from the back of the Codex and add them up. The only difference here is that the datasheet and point lists are in different books, but that's no different than taking, say, a Dreadnought with two sets of twin autocannons. Option from the index, points from the Codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Upon reflection, we can make all the Chapter Approved LRs official. There is no reason not to - although the count-as would also work (there is no point discrepancies to speak of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copycat Copycat Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hey guys. I joined the forum at around the time ETL was announced to be forthcoming. In the past two weeks I’ve furiously assembled 4x5 man CSM squads, 7x havocs, a las predator, a jump lord, a jump sorcerer, and 10 plasma raptors. I’ve also assembled a rhino where I used the pintle mounted combibolter to convert a combimelta. Now I have a kinda noobish question. Am I required to model the combibolter that comes standard on the rhino? If so, how have people been able to do this? I can’t seem to get a combibolter to fit next to the gunners hatch and even if I could, I don’t think it would be visually appealing. Thanks in advance.

The models must be as WYSIWYG as possible (if you want the points for it that is) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Rustling through my bits boxes it looks like I'll be able to pull out the following: - Hellwright. - 9 Noise Marines. - 10 Daemonettes. - Predator. - Terminator Lord. - 4 Bikers. Also have a sorceror on bike that needs painting up, I know there's that flowchart bandying about for this, but the biker sorceror isn't in the codex. Adding a bike to a lord or sorceror gives a 40pt increase in the index, can I vow my sorceror and treat the bike as a 40pt upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Dawnstar Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I currently have a Daemon Prince, six Obliterators and 30 Cultists on-hold for the ETL. I'd certainly like to think I can get through more than that in due course but haven't got any specific plans for what I'd move on to next.

DuskRaider Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I have planned thus far for Vow 1 (I have no clue on points, I'm at work): Daemons of Nurgle 20 x Plaguebearers 6 x Plague Drones 6 x Nurgling Swarms 1 x Poxbringer Kill Team / Necromunda / INQ28 Death Guard Character - Counts-As Chaos Lord, I suppose Pestigor Shaman - Counts-As Poxbringer 10 X Pestigors - Counts-As Plaguebearers Nurgle Minotaur - Counts-As Beast of Nurgle 20 X Cultists 20 X Plague Zombies (at least, maybe more) I have something(s) else planned for a 2nd Vow if I make it to that point.
