Majkhel Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Are HH units allowed? ive got a unit of Dawnbreakers ready to go. and a Warder and a Apothecary. Codex units only (+Knights possibly). HH has its own section as Age of Darkness subfora. Apothecary is OK and Warden could pass for a Chaplain provided their wargear options are Codex-legal. EDITED: Dawnbreakers would fit nicely as Vanguard Veterans weather they are the spear- or dual swords-wielding versions.

What matters is they are pointed from our Codex and blatantly not something that belongs elsewhere (no Sanguinius as The Sanguinor for example).

Kaese Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Prepping for the first vow is done. Today I started the prepping four dreadnoughts that will probably be part of my second vow. Broke one badly assembled dreadnought to pieces and managed to get it back together with librarian face plate. Biggest challenge will be converting the halberd to work on right side, as I only have ccw arms for left side :( The other three will be DC dreadnought with fists, furioso with frag cannon and mortis with twin autocannons.

I tought about that first, but I don't really have any spare shoulders. With my luck the autocannon options are removed in next update and my mortis dreadnougt will be without arms if I break assault cannon arm. I have broken the halberd shoulder into small pieces and used most of it to make a right shoulder. All it needs now is a big piece of green stuff and a lot of patience before it will look OK.

Ornithologist Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I'll be in for sure, though I don't know if I will hit the scale of last year. On the plus side, I have aquired about 10+ more characters in the last year. And I have a small pile of Terminators to paint up. I also have a bunch of the new phobos stuff... but I am not sure how quick/painless those will be. I do have some dreads that I need to primer so, I should be able to get them in maybe...

Jolemai Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Current state of preparedness (including as per Prep thread): 9 HQ choices A unit of scouts A single combat squad (again) Total is at least 1100pts Pending: Another 4 HQ choices.

Jolemai Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Right, if it stays as three months, I'l go for the space marine side of ShadowSpear, see if I can re-catch the BA bug. It will always* be three months, with sign ups permitted in the first month only. How many models are in ShadowSpear again? *This may change but it would be a safe bet imo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/355690-the-blood-angels-etl-vii-campaign-awaits/page/3/#findComment-5309122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 What faction do the unnumbered sons count towards? Could we sneak them in here if theyre led by a blood angels captain? Successors of any colour are fine, before now we've even had blue or purple Marines pledged to our cause. What matters is they are pointed from our Codex and blatantly not something that belongs elsewhere (no Sanguinius as The Sanguinor for example). Unnumbered sons/greyshields are the collective primaris from the indomitus crusade, so dark angel, ultramarine, blood angel etc. In one unit. Theyre kinda all over the place, but if i led them by a blood angels captain and points costed them as blood angels? Mine will be coloured in the original 18 legion colours as everyone knows cawl has created them anyway. Otherwise i'll just keep it to my company and see if i can fit anything in to diversify haha Then it's BA I guess? As it's one of those cases where there are no rules, you can probably do as you wish however they may be more suited to Index (as it's a catch all) or Deathwatch (as they used mixed squads from other Chapters). If Semper were to rule in that direction, then I'd obviously prefer you to pledge BAs... What faction do the unnumbered sons count towards?

Apothecary is OK and Warden could pass for a Chaplain provided their wargear options are Codex-legal. Dawnbreakers would be a tough fit, as we have Cataphractii termites available, but with different loadout. And the wouldn't match the count-as Assault Terminators, as the lack thunder hammers to go with their shields. What are/how are Dawnbreakers equipped again? To add to what Majkhel has already said, it could be done (the lines blur somewhat between 30k and 40k) but it really depends on how they fit in with our Codex. @Ironandforge, would you be potentially doing any non-30k BA models?

Jolemai Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Another 3 Eliminators pre-assembled and primed. I've also started dividing prepped units to vows. Got 2 so far. Second one will be black-themed and will include the Shadowspear units as well as DC and Chaplain Dreadnoughts. Quite like your idea about having one detachment for definites and one for potentials on Battlescribe - unbound, obviously How much do the Eliminators knock you up to? I'm on 900 with the definites but think I need to crank it up a tad.

Ambitiously I have well over 2,000 points to play with over 3 months. However I dont think I will have near enough time. I want to paint some heavy flamer devs with a combi-flamer sergeant to stick inside my new bird alongside 10 footy DC. 1 to clear a line the other to charge through the Prometheum! LutherMax's 5 man DC squad have been a joy to field and I've found a home for them alongside my own boys in black. The sneaky units I'm wanting to do are some bikes with meltas and chain swords.

Demoulius Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Trying to figure out how I can join in? I got a few models lying around that I need to finish (as well as some that I still need to pick up) for an upcoming tourney. And some that I got as a gift from a buddy that I want to paint up. So far ive got to paint: Librarian dreadnought, slamguinius, terminator ancient with thunderhammer, 3 lietenants with different wargear. And I still need to get 3 Inceptors and assemble 5 jump pack assault marines with 2 plasmaguns.

Majkhel Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 ... I also have a bunch of the new phobos stuff... but I am not sure how quick/painless those will be. I heartily suggest that you leave guns for the Eliminators unglued before you paint what you want beneath them. Also the Phobos Librarian has some nice detail below his robes. Personally I'm keeping him in 2 halves (front and back) with hands already attached. Captain/Lieutenants can be fully assembled. Infiltrators I'm gluing without the gun holding hand, but they I think they are paintable fully assembled as well. As for the Suppressors, I can't tell. I'll be leaving them out this time unless I'm suddenly struck by an inspiration. -What are/how are Dawnbreakers equipped again? -How much do the Eliminators knock you up to? I'm on 900 with the definites but think I need to crank it up a tad. Ooooops, I've confused Dawnbreakers with Crimson Paladins Anyway Dawnbreakers are JP infantry with spears/dual swords. Both loadout versions could be painted as Vanguard Veterans Eliminators are at 72pts per squad. Not that much, but for me they are definitely less effort than say Aggressors or Inceptors.

My summer is already pretty full up, and I have my usual month away from my models in the middle, cutting ETL down to 8 weeks for me. I'll do a tot up of my current points in my plog, but I can't see myself smashing things this year.
