Captain Semper Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Well, it seems I was late in this party - missed that thread until now...I’m really interested to see how the Wolves will respond this year. Last year could be said it was the Year of the Wolf as Space Wolves, out of nowhere and with no track record did more points THAN ANY OTHER ASTARTES FORUM! Will they become Primus Inter Pares this year? We’ll have to see...Now to answer some questions although the answers given above are correct. If I vow stuff for the Tau, can I vow anything for the wolves? or must i stay in the tau? You may only choose to support one forum. You do that by placing a vow in the appropriate thread (not yet on) and that’s it. You may never change Forum for any reason. The ETL, among other things, is about tough choices. . You can however pledge whatever you like as an out-of-competition entry that does not carry any points. 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? No, but that’s the easiest, most straightforward, “count-as” of all time. Just price them as normal Termies. 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? If I understand correctly, you’re asking whether you’ll get any points for alternative load-outs. Well the answer is no. There are no points for magnetisation or other means of attaching alternative wargear on the minis. You may only vow a single configuration and the result must be as WYSIWYG as possible. As such, and other things be equal, it makes sense to pledge the most “pricey” configuration. Of course it makes more sense to pledge what you really need on the tabletop but if you’re in it for the modelling alone, then yes, optimisation dictates to vow the most expensive configuration. 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?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. You do not get the same rule as the IFOR. Astartes are contained within their own lists (plus appropriate FW stuff and other goodies - but no other Chapters). I am building a Knight for my army. Can I paint that for this forum? Damn right you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgr_maddog Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 It's been a while, but I still have plenty of unpainted models :) What I'm lacking is time, but I'll get something together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 The Captain brings up a good question. Last ETL we suprised everyone with a huge jump in participants and productivity. From under dogs to a real challenger. So can we do it again this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threadcutter Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 First time posting here but I've been a member for some time. Looking forward to pledging my Wolves to the ETL. I have about 75 or so models currently built but unpainted so I have a lot to pick and choose from. Looking forward to this and at the very least I know this will light the painting fires. I will NOT be an oathbreaker on my first time out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Caldersson Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Sadly I have to paint my DG army. Wife isn't happy that I spent money on paint and brushes for them yet only built them. I got probably 2k points in them already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RikuEru Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Rather paint wolves and for the wolf forum. Do the Wolves for the Forum first. Do the DG as an out-of-competition vow. Do not get tempted by the vile creatures of the Warp... Slowly getting back into the groove. Did finish preparing 5 selfmade Greyslayers and revived the ETenebraeLux Hashtag on Instagram, Lord Semper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melete Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I won't be painting any Wolves in competition (I'm currently swept up in Xenos heresy), but I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys and gals come up with. Especially interested in seeing what color schemes everyone here chooses - I'm on team grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrawlingCleaner Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 So I need to build and basecoat my vows but I think I'll start off slow with a 5 man grey hunters squad just to test the scheme further. I'm really looking forward to see what everyones going to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Jbickb Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Steady small vows are as good as large ones. Completion rate is a major factor here. Remember in 3 months real life can and will bite you. Keep em managable and good luck brothers! (Just my own personal experience and failure with the TEL your mileage may vary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I am in, but will not vow till near the end of May, As I cannot build or prime or spray from an oilrig keep-calm-and-join-wolfpack-4 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Ragnar Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Do the models have to be official models (i.e. I have a dreadnought I use as Bjorn but it is not the Bjorn model) or can we use a scratch build as far as points are concerned?

Captain Semper Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 No they don't have to be official models. :) Now guys, start using the Outpost thread - I will gradually stop responding outside those threads - I cannot track some 40+ ETL threads - I'd rather stick to the 20 official ones! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graymane Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm in - not sure for what mind, but I'm in! :D Cheers, GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graymane Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 So where do we actually vow? here? Just in case... Sorry i got slightly carried away and did the brown before remembering to photograph them :) Points score to follow shortly. Cheers, GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
