ETL VII +++Astra Militarum Outpost+++

[Captain Semper]

+++ASTRA MILITARUM OUTPOST+++

Welcome to the Astra Militarum Outpost. Astra Militarum belongs to the “Forces of the Imperium (IFOR)” Faction.

HERE IS WHERE YOU MUST POST YOUR VOWS

Here you must also post your “before” and “after” pics of your vows as well as any WIP you may want to share. You may also use this thread to discuss the progress of the event with your fellow participants, exchange ideas, offer and receive modelling/painting advice and generally have some ETL–related fun!

Here you’ll be able to submit vows that include the following units:
· Codex: Astra Militarum
· Codex: Imperial Knights
· Index Imperium 2:

o All units from the Fortifications list

· Imperial Armour Index – Forces of the Astra Militarum:

o All units with the Astra Militarum keyword

o All units from the Questor Imperialis list

o All units from the Adeptus Titanicus list

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE MIGHT OF THE IMPERIUM
As mentioned in the main rules, participants who pledge for Astra Militarum will also have the option to pledge units that correspond to any other IFOR Forum as well! However, the units pledged from other IFOR Forums may never be more than the units selected from the list above.

IMPORTANT NOTE: ALWAYS USE THE LATEST PUBLICATION TO SELECT AND PRICE YOUR UNITS
Army lists are constantly updated through a number of publications: new Codices, Chapter Approved, White Dwarf, Forge World PDFs (even experimental ones), Errata, you name it. You must always make sure that you use the most recent list to “price” your units.

That said, the original Indices that were released at the dawn of the 40k 8^thEdition, in some cases contain units that did not make it to the Codex (or any subsequent publication). In that case you may still use them and “price” them from the Index list. Note that this applies ONLY to the units that did not make it to the Codex. You may not use the Index to “price” units that appear in the Codex or any later publication. If in doubt, contact me to avoid confusion.

Before you post you vow make sure you familiarise yourself with the ETL VII rules. You can find a link below:

THE RULES OF ETL VII CAN BE FOUND HERE

Also, please take the time to go through the Spirit of the ETL to give you an insight of the “unwritten” rules. You can find the link below:

[WarriorFish]

A good showing from the Stormtroopers it seems, and I'll be adding more next vow :D Great to see :)

 

Priming has been delayed somewhat, as metal models have an aura of glue negation...

[tvih]

Let's start with something reasonably manageable:

I, tvih, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Astra Militarum and vow to complete:

- a Leman Russ Battle Tank with Battle Cannon, Lascannon, Heavy Bolters

for a total value 786 points on or before September 1st, 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

---

With that done, going forward I should have at least another pair of Russes, a Basilisk, a Sentinel, a Taurox, two infantry squads, two 5-man militarum tempestus squads, one heavy weapons squad, perhaps a command squad & commander, and a few missionaries to bring to the event. And of course the IFOR units, including probably at least one more Sororitas squad and more Deathwatch (bikers, terminators, and such), possibly some inquisitors, and the contents of the Start Collecting Skitarii box... probably some other odds & ends. How many of these I have the energy for within the limits of the event is another thing entirely!

[Arkaniss]

There is a lot of old metal IG so far! That's pretty epic :D

[Captain Semper]

Welcome Codystuart and all glory to the Psian Jackals! Good luck mate! :tu:

Celestine and Geminae picture will come later, I don't have piks to hand and this is an off the cuff vow

I have had Celestine and her Geminae assembled for a while, and as the Commissars no doubt remember I have also had the IG models undercoated for a while too... Nothing like an ETL to stoke the fires of hobbying!

Edit: Celestine and Geminae pik

I love how the theme for the Guard ETL is old metal models! Those OG Cadians are really cool and actually prefer them over the current plastic range. I wish there was a place to get hold of them.

Looking forward to seeing them all painted up :)

[Arkaniss]

Cheers Mordian Glory! Indeed, I saw all the old school cool on display and felt compelled to join in. Will be epic to see so many old models given some TLC! I was undecided about the ETL this year and pondering starting my Chaos Marines... I guess today is not the day I turn from the light of the Emprah
