Dosjetka Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The yearly ETL is slowly but surely upon us (usually starts in mid/late Spring and lasts for three months). The Xenos areas are a recent addition to the forum and so have much smaller communities than the usual ETL heavyweights. That said, with our erstwhile alien allies from the other subforums, perhaps this year we have a chance to take the crown that rightfully belongs to us? With that in mind, I thought that starting a thread to coordinate our efforts to prepare for the ETL event. The idea is to cheer each other on while we each assemble and undercoat (and no more!) our models, but also to share tricks and avice that could help us come out as the victors of ETL VII. So, who wants to give the other areas of the forum a good ETL thrashing? If you do, break out your glue and hobby knife! We have model assembly to get done! Edit: For those unfamiliar with the ETL, check out last year's event: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346705-e-tenebrae-lux-vi/?do=findComment&comment=5067601 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354006-rise-children-of-the-four-armed-emperor-etl-prep-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordian Glory Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I am excited for this, I have lots of GSC built from the last 2 weeks of releases! Its going to be difficult to resist painting them though!

Dragonlover Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Obviously, my heart and soul belong to Chaos for the ETL, but I'll be following the Cult with interest as well.

Greenz Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 There’s a good chance I’ll be painting fro the Nids this year. Most years I’m on team DA, but I don’t believe I have anything unpainted for them. I’ve been debating between Nids and Chaos, but something tells me Chaos won’t be needing any help this year... I’m going out on a limb and assuming the good Captain will be keeping faction breakdowns the same. So Nids and GSC will be combined?

anarchistscourge Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Lucky that I just got my DW completed so I will be able to pledge for GSC/Tyranids. Need to paint up the whole 2,000 points (minus a neophyte squad) also and this is a great driver to do so Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354006-rise-children-of-the-four-armed-emperor-etl-prep-thread/#findComment-5260858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Nice to see some enthusiasm. :) So far I've assembled a few Acolyte Hybrids and kitbashed a Sanctus. I'd like to paint but I'll try and restrain myself and get stuff assembled instead!

anarchistscourge Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Had the majority of my GSC from the Deathwatch Overkill box, which strangely gives you 16 Acolytes and 22 Neophytes. As I hate not having round numbers in squads, it gave me a great 'excuse' to convert the extras. Built a Nexos and Clamavus from the Neophytes and a Kelermorph from an Acolyte. Next up is a Locus I feel Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354006-rise-children-of-the-four-armed-emperor-etl-prep-thread/#findComment-5261518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Nice! Got any pictures of your conversions to share with us? I'm curious to see what others have done with regards to these new characters.

anarchistscourge Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I haven’t but I’ll take some tonight and get them up. For the Nexos I used a rhino hatch and an upside down tau drone (likes like a hive) and then also used the scion voxcaster arm. Very similar to other people’s Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354006-rise-children-of-the-four-armed-emperor-etl-prep-thread/#findComment-5261630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runefyre Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I'm pretty stoked about the new codex and I've got a whole lot of assembled GSC that need painting...maybe I can squeeze this into my school schedule...

SwashBuccaneer Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Oh, damn, you're right. I took part in my first one last year for my Deathwatch (and still haven't finished that army) and it was a lot of fun. Maybe I will hold back on doing anything with my GSC lists until it drops soon. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354006-rise-children-of-the-four-armed-emperor-etl-prep-thread/#findComment-5265560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droz_64 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I'm thinking about starting small. ~500ish points of GSC, including Neophytes, a (Possibly kitbashed) Primus, Kelermorph, and some yet to be determined kits.

Marshal van Trapp Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I bought tooth and claw as well as several other boxes of genestealer cult models. With the release of the codex I'm finally going to be assembling everything to get games in and hopefully when ETL rolls around I can get some painting done Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354006-rise-children-of-the-four-armed-emperor-etl-prep-thread/#findComment-5266063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I have my DW just about finished I have more free space on the table for new freshly unpainted plastic.
