SW1 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Well Brothers and Sisters it's got to that time of year again. The mighty Captain Semper has once more thrown down the gauntlet. Who will hear the call of the Wolf and join the fight? The E Tenebrae Lux is upon us once more and we require the full strength of the Pack to go to battle. Will you stand by the side of your Brothers or will you allow our opponents to walk over us? It's the B&C's and possibly the hobby worlds biggest annual painting event, E Tenebrae Lux, is about to start on the 1st of May. I'll post the opening announcement at the end of this post. There's a thread in the Amicus Aedes part of the forum where you can find more information about the event and get in some banter. ;) All you need to take part are SW models in need of painting. To be eligible the models can be no more than basecoated/primed. So to get prepaired get those models assembled and primed!!! It would be good to see who's joining the SW forum this year so let us know below!!! :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346536-etl-roll-call/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/ETL_6_Poster_01_Teaser.jpg MAY 1st - AUGUST 1st ------------------------------------------------- A few things about the new rules: 1. The point limit per vow is lifted completelty but the total cap on all vows a participant makes is set at 20,000pts. That means that a participant may split those 20,000 pts among his/her 5 vows as he/she sees fit! And before I get the obvious question, yes, you may do a single 20k vow if that’s what you want. In effect you have up to 20,000pts to manage via 5 vows. You can of course do fewer vows or fewer points. You can never exceed though the 5 vow limit or the 20k points limit. You can however reach the limit of 20k pts with less than 5 vows (or you can do 5 vows at less than 20k pts in total). 2. Five Factions: Adeptus Astartes Imperial Forces (IFOR) Realm of Chaos Xenos Age of Darkness (AoD) 3. There are three levels of collective performance: Primus Inter Pares: the Forum with the highest score WITHIN its Faction Dominus Exercitus: the Forum with the highest score AMONG ALL Factions (similar but not 100% like the Primus Inter Pares of old) ETL VI Magister: the Faction with the highest score among all Factions 4. The Astartes Faction will consist of SMs, BAs, DAs and SWs5. The IFOR Faction will include the GKs and the Deathwatch 6. IFOR Forums will have access (but not unlimited) to units form other IFOR Forums 7. Chaos is three Forums - not interchangeable 8. Aeldari is a single Forum (just to clarify) 9. AoD is split in two teams the Loyalists and the Traitors. Both have access to all HH units except those explicitly labeled "Traitor" for the Loyalists and those labeled "Loyalist" for the Traitors Remember, these are just some highlights - there is a ton of details still but feel free to ask any questions.

Guest Triszin Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 If I vow stuff for the Tau, can I vow anything for the wolves? or must i stay in the tau? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346536-etl-roll-call/#findComment-5063682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boytoy Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Fairly sure you can vow both, but only 1 faction will count towards the end tally Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346536-etl-roll-call/#findComment-5063686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Your first vow locks you into that forum for the ETL. Any painting you do with models that would be covered in another forum would not count to the ETL totals. What I've noticed is that the rules have been tweaked again since I first read the announcement. So now it's a maximum of 20,000 points over 5 vows but the maximum vow value has been removed per vow. This opens up the option of doing the bigger titans which total over 6,000 points each without loosing some of the titans total value due to a limit on the vow value. I think this is the year the God Machines come out of slumber.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I'm throwing down for the Aett! I've been sitting on models since the last ETL, as well as adding models because Im an addict.

RikuEru Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I'm throwing down for the Aett! I've been sitting on models since the last ETL, as well as adding models because Im an addict. I am the same. I have added so many Mk3 troops and Primaris and other Conversions since then... And I desperately NEED the ETL and some good, relaxing hobby time then! The first two weeks of May I'll spend studying and prepping and priming all models (which aren't ready already). I have my finals on the 14th/15th/16th - after that my soul belongs to the Allfather and my heart beats for the Rout!

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I did a quick and dirty write up of models on army builder, and without adding in 20 Terminators, am around 2.6k of models. Dumb question: Can Wolves in 8th edition get Cataphractii armoed units?

Rockythedog Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I have 5 termies, three bikes, 10 scouts and my long fangs to paint so I’ll be declaring with a howl Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346536-etl-roll-call/#findComment-5064209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I cant for the life of me remember what the ruling on weapons for stuff like WG were. For example, i have 10 PAWG with SS to vow but I have 10 plasma/melta/flamer/SB for them. Would I simply vow the meltas for the points or can i get the weapon cost for each?

Dumb question: Can Wolves in 8th edition get Cataphractii armoed units? If we get the same rule as the IFOR (you can vow units of your factions sub-divisions, as long as they don't outnumber your main sub-factions units), you can paint them with Codex SM point values. If not: Counts-as. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346536-etl-roll-call/#findComment-5064477 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoMP Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I have to do the math, but if I had to guess I am sitting on somewhere around 8000-1000 points of unpainted Wolves. For Russ!

TrawlingCleaner Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 As I'm starting a Sons Of Morkai army I'll definitely be declaring for Space wolves.

TiguriusX Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The majority of my army needs painting and is simply primed right now. Need to prep for BAO anyway so time to dive into my first vow ever.

Verux Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I have 2 bike squads, a razorback and a predator. Might throw in a unit of wulfen as well if I can stand looking at the models long enough to paint them.

Gemini Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Well... I haven't put paint to a model since January... Time to stretch the legs, shake the paints and make sure my glasses still 'see'. I had a mess of stuff separated, sorted, point costed and bagged for the last ETL, I'll drag that out and recalculate their points (and even legality) in 8th. I'm in. I have no idea for how much but I'm in. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346536-etl-roll-call/#findComment-5065055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Urgh ... This index imperium format for points is driving me nuts. Options on one page points spread over multiple pages including another bloody codex points section. Give me a propper codex with points in a single place already!!!

You choose the most expensive combination and vow that. The extra weapons don't count to the vow total.

mercbat Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'm in. I have no idea for how much but I'm in. Same thing.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Russ knows I could use a little painting motivation and having learned from past mistakes I will endeavor to vow smarter this year. I will likely vow some vehicles at least when the day is upon us.
