Captain Semper Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 +++TYRANIDS OUTPOST+++ Welcome to the Tyranids Outpost. Tyranids belong to the “Xenos” 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: Tyranids· Codex: Genestealer Cults· Index Imperium 2: o All units from the Fortifications list · Imperial Armour Index – Xenos: o All units from the Tyranids list IMPORTANT NOTE: ALWAYS USE THE LATEST PUBLICATION TO SELECT AND PRICE YOUR UNITSArmy 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 8thEdition, 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: THE SPIRIT OF THE ETL +++…!+++ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356316-tyranids-outpost/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filkarion Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Oldschoolsoviet, great vow! I love your conversions! I will do some myself also mixing cult with delaque models, as they fit very well my idea of a mad sientists based cult! In the last days I have brought together my tyranids backlog and got more than expected. Still my first vow will be mainly cult converted characters. I will probably have news tomorrow (today was family and friends), glad of not being alone!

Rogue Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Feels a bit minimal after the above, but I guess it all counts. And there'll probably be a second vow down the line. I, Rogue, rise to the challenge of E Tenebrae Lux on the side of the Genestealer Cults, and vow to complete a single Clamavus (of total value 55 points) on or before 1st September 2019. Because if I don't manage that in the next three months, getting a badge is probably the least of my problems.

oldschoolsavant Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Nice to meet you guys. As a veteran of the ETL (those Khorne Knights in the vid were mine last year, White Scars company(!) before that), I can say that 100% completion can be the proudest achievement we can aim for, whether it's one 50pt model or 1000pts of Neophytes. We're never going to challenge the big three (Codex, Chaos, Heresy) so do everything you can to complete vows. Glad you like the conversions, but there's more to come ! The cloaks on the Sanctus were Mechanicus Skitarii with a bit of tidying with GS, and it's easy once you match up leg shapes (as if the GW CAD uses similar templates lol). (still not looking forward to painting my own Neophytes however) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356316-tyranids-outpost/#findComment-5324324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlover Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I came very close to vowing my GSC this year, then the new Chaos range dropped and the Dark Gods tightened their grasp on my soul once more.

Captain Semper Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Well Filkarion, this year it appears that the Nids got those reinforcements after all! Currently Tyranids have the most points pledged from all Xenos forums (although the ELdar still have two vows to calculate points for)... Welcome to good luck to all! :) UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Filkarion Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Sorry for double posting, but as I am in Bruxelles for a two days business trip, I am away from my paint and minis (and my wife and children, but that is another matter ) So I am using this post to take notes of ideas for the next vows; I like to alternate conversion and painting during ETL, also to benefit from the comments and critics of you fratres! 1) I have a "Duster and Stetson" Kelermorph... as he has 3 arms... I guess I will call him Trinita'... This gives me ideas for a Bambino Abominant, the left (Upper) hand of the devil (I still have an ogre body somewhere). 2) I will give the "Hello my baby" stick and hat to one of the aberrants...in some way... 3) an albino Trygon with lots of "power harpoons" on it and a one legged human chained to it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356316-tyranids-outpost/#findComment-5325757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecow Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I like your idea for putting a hat on the kelemorph. I want to find a cowboy hat now for it :p Make him a proper gunslinger :) Also chuckled with the idea of a trygon dragging his lunch along. Very creative!

oldschoolsavant Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Day 2 - my first Sanctus reports for duty. http://i.imgur.com/Hf2VFH3.jpg My Magus and Locus to focus on tomorrow. http://i.imgur.com/39yF6T5.jpg Basically testing the waters with the various characters, and I'm settling on a scheme and paint order as I work through, so the rank and file should be a tad easier to deal with. As for future plans, something like this: http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/nazi_germany/Armored_Cars/Kettenkrad/kettenkrad_eastern42_HD.jpg :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356316-tyranids-outpost/#findComment-5326690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
