Dantay VI Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 S][/url]36dd4af0abf3068ec6b2bf3c02f44003_1 by Danny Taylor, on Flickr Hail & Well met, warrior of Russ!! First of all we would like to thnk you for considering to join the Wolves on this grand adventure & welcome you to the ETL. We sincerely hope that you will find it both interesting & fun. For those of you who haven’t taken part in The ETL with the Wolves before, we thought it would be a good idea to put together a small something, to give you some explanation & tips as to what the ETL is. And for those wily veterans who have survived the trials of the TL, it would be a good place to pass forth your venerable experiences to the rest of the pack. For those who have not been involved in a painting competition, hopefully this will help to give you a flavour of what to expect. If you have done a similar competition in the past, we hope this doesn’t come across as teaching you how to suck eggs So what is the ETL? ETL stands for E Tenebrae Lux. The ETL started out life as a painting challenge put forth by the Dark Angels sub-forum. This has now grown to encompass all the sub-forums into a full on, inter-forum painting competition whereby an individual vows a legal unit (or units) for a particular sub-faction and for our overall faction (Astartes in our instance) and has to paint them to completion (to your standard, which you alone can decide) within a three month time frame. The faction with the most points painted is crowned the winner earning eternal glory (special signatures, etc) and a year's worth of bragging rights. Whilst we work alongside our brother chapters to push the Astartes to victory, there are also other titles to be won with in our faction, to work towards being the best of the best. Failure no longer just brings shame to the chapter, but to the Astartes as a whole, so lets try to lead by example. Last ETL we came third overall and were the best of the Imperium factions. Lets see if we can continue where we left off. This is the sixth year of the ETL. The ETL VI Captain Semper has already stated that the spirit of the ETL has remained unchanged, but due to changes in edition, index/codex etc, it has been a challenging time and he has pulled off an amazing job to bring te ETL back together. Even though he is a scion of the Lion, he has earned our greatest respect. Therefore rules-wise a number of things have changed, so do not be under the premise that all the old rules still apply. I would suggest that you go to the first post and make yourself familiar with the new rules. This is what we do knw and remains pretty much the same as previous ETL's: The challenge will start on 1st May 2016 and run until 1st August 5pm GMT. In order to participate in the ETL, your first vow must be made within 1 month of the ETL start date By 1st June 5pm. There is no maximum value for your vow, however there is a complete cap at 20,000 points, so split your vows how you wish, lots of small vows or 1 giant vow!! You cannot make a new vow until the old is completed All models to be a legal Codex/Index entry and WYSIWYG Two pictures must be supplied. An unpainted/primed picture at the start of your vow, as evidence that you have not jumped the gun and a picture of your completed vow. If you have made a vow, but are working on your models in stages for example 4 packs of 10 Grey Hunters, but you plan to do them in batches of 20, a before shot of each batch, and then a final picture of all the models completed will suffice What Can I Do? Basically, we have already started but we still have up to a month before we have to vow, so it is a choice between using the month to prep and risk losing painting time or going for it now and hoping it all falls into place for the 1st August. It is up to you to determine the strategy of your great company. But remember to fail one vow is to fail all, so be careful as te lost vows will affect the overall total for the team.. Make your vows manageable: Split the models you want to vow up into small manageable portions and work on them when you can. It takes the pressure off of you and it will give more time to look around and enjoy the creativity around. There is nothing worse than being head down, bum up and painting 24/7, under pressure to hit a deadline and detesting every moment of it. From a team perspective, any uncompleted vows nullify your entire points haul & affect the rest of the Space Wolves overall points total plus that of the Astartes in general, so small achievable vows are much better than one large daunting vow. We would like to achieve as close to 100% completion rate as possible. Paint all your Thunderwolves/ Fenrisian Wolves/Wulfen as one vow, or split into 2, paint all your vehicles in one vow, troops in another. This will hopefully get you into a production line style of painting and will help you to get through a number of models faster than painting them individually. I know. For years I have painted one model at a time and get so discouraged when I see on model don, but a wall of grey plastic/ resin staring at me. Getting into a production line kind ogf groove has really helped keep me motivated and seen me start to work my way through the literal mountain of models sitting in my garage. If you are magnetising, vow the expensive choice! Also, things like hunter-killer missiles count as they are WYSIWYG so add them to your vehicles even if it's via blu-tac! Rumour is that we will be allowed to run Cypher, so raid your bits box for a bolt pistol, plasma pistol and enough parts to make a counts-as Cypher Pace yourself: real life stuff, such as, exams, weddings, births, looking for a job etc can and most likely will come up at some point during the ETL, so leave yourself a little bit of wiggle room. If you start to get hacked off then take a wee break to recharge the batteries before going again. Remember, the ETL is a marathon not a sprint, so there is no need to go hammer & thong in the first week only to tire yourself out. Never be afraid to ask questions: As an engineer the first thing I was taught, is that there is no such thing as a stupid question. The Space Wolves forum is one of the friendliest on here & if you are struggling with something or are unsure about what can go into a vow etc.. Ask, because there will always be someone out there willing to help you. We are a Team: One of the best parts of the ETL is the melting pot of modellers & painters coming together. Not sure how to paint something? Put it out there. Saw someone use a new technique? Ask how it was done. Want to share something you have learned? Share it. There may be some Silver Wolves amongst us, but we are never too old to learn & we like new tricks Have fun: Above all this is the most important thing to do. We want this to be really enjoyable for you & something we hope you will want to take part in year after year So lets take up our brushes & like the Wolves which came before us, relish the challenge ahead. For Russ & the AllFather. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346827-space-wolves-etl-vi-help-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuEru Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 +++The ETL VI Guidebook for Space Wolves+++ Honoring the hard work Dantay VI put in to collect most of these links for last ETL, two years ago, I wanted to collect these in a visible,central position, so all of us, from fresh Blood Claws to the oldest of the Long Fangs, can benefit from it during this time of challenge.(Most of the Kudos should go to Dantay!)I will try to keep this updated and add to it, over time, as I find more helpful links. (Sadly, some of the older guides on B&C and blogs have died under the Photobucket-Cashgrab, with missing photos they are sadly unusable) If YOU want to add to it, post it within the thread, so others can see it and I can add it to this aswell.If YOU think something is missing that you desperately need guidance on, please tell us aswell, so all of us can be on the look-out and find something suitable for your needs.

Dantay VI Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Okay, so I have been experimenting with my airbrush. I got it at Christmas and it was a super cheap set, consisting of compressor with moisture trap, hose and 2 dual action airbrush guns. Got to say it is a lot of fun!! Anyway before starting I did a fair amount of research and while a lot of folks do how to videos, a lot do not go into much detail on pressures etc. For those starting out like me, I hope that some of this proves useful. This goes from what to buy through to some basic and intermediate techniques If anyone has any other tutorials or videos which might be useful, or you feel I have missed anything let me know, so I can add it to the repository of knowledge Thanks for reading and let me know what you think.
