duz_ Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Heads up soldiers with the pending release of the new codex expect a barracks hobby event to follow closely! @GreenScorpion will be assisting with the logistics. Details to follow, but start figuring out what you will be pledging in the name of the Emperor! sairence, Slave to Darkness, Focslain and 10 others 11 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Looks like more Space Brits are on the menu. Better stock up on tea and crumpets to get me through. duz_, The Pounder and greatcrusade08 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenScorpion Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 It will be my first time assisting with such kind of event, so hopefully everything will go alright. Still discussing some stuff with duz_ but we should have the final plan soon. In what relates to the participation, I think I will go with something a bit different and work on some terrain. I have a group of fortifications built with stuff from Mantic that I think will suit this event quite well Nyx of the Night and Harrowmaster 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 In events like this, do we tend to start from sprue, or built models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenScorpion Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, apologist said: In events like this, do we tend to start from sprue, or built models? The plan is to have the possibility of building+painting or merely painting models, so you could start with sprue pics up to already assembled models, similar to what was done in the last event. For reference on the last event: https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372810-sally-forth-hobby-challenge/ Once some final preparations are done we should have a thread with all the necessary information in terms of rules timelines and such for the event.

commissar_roach Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 hmm, I have been wanting to do some custom rough riders lately, I may have to jump on this to push me to actually get them done. duz_ and Slave to Darkness 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best order now I suspect guard release box orders are around the corner and we'll be starting once they hit the shelves GreenScorpion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechCaptain Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I don't have money for new models but hopefully my kitbashes and still works in progress on my table will qualify, if so the combined might of the Various Ishtarian Astra Militarum Regimentums will be standing ready. Lunar Venatorii Cavalry have bikers that need paint, the Cogger Hive Guard have been getting reinforced with former Cultists and Hive Scum for their Penal and neurally programmed troops, the Innanis Thrashers are always down to dig in, getting dirty in the process. Ishtarian Rangers have snipers in the wings. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 @TechCaptain post what you were thinking. Building is not a requirement but ideally minimal paint is. Eg. Primed or based Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaipii Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I've already started if that's ok! A Volpone Bluebloods Command squad inbound! apologist and SteveAntilles 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechCaptain Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 So this is an example and I have a few on the spruce for Eschers that I am still converting. But you see three without bases so far and a few that is only primed. I have been lagging on my Astra Militarum due to lack of space in my display shelf . duz_ and GreenScorpion 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get too far ahead @Jaipii! We normally prefer unpainted models for pledging, plus you might finish the squad before the event starts On 11/3/2022 at 9:48 PM, TechCaptain said: So this is an example and I have a few on the spruce for Eschers that I am still converting. But you see three without bases so far and a few that is only primed. I have been lagging on my Astra Militarum due to lack of space in my display shelf . As long as you can make legal unit entries out of them, I am not concerned about what models you use. As long as they fit in the ragtag Imperial guard aesthetic somehow. As for everyone else: Event start date will be the 26th of November! Yes I know its late, but blame GW. With a 2 week pre-order window from next week, that means we won't have the books and models in hand until then. Since the rumours indicate that there are many changes afoot, we need to make sure we are pledging legal units for the new codex. The event will run for 2 months with no pledging restrictions.

Slave to Darkness Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Just ordered another box and a spare sprue of the WGA space Brits just for this, even though I have a box unopened already... You can never have too many guardsmen. duz_ and TechCaptain 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave to Darkness Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Time to check I have enough bases, glue and basing material ready. Then I need to decide what Im doing, I have 54 Space Brits on sprue, 40 WW1 French with enough German heads to make another platoon for my Stallenberg and 22 Cannon Fodder (10 male and 12 female) for my Penal Legion. Plenty for me to choose from. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenScorpion Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 The event thread should be published some time this week in advance for the start of the event next Saturday. Please start preparing your pledges so we can have an interesting event. Once the thread is published you will be able to review the event rules and format in detail, so hopefully by Saturday any major doubts or issues will be addressed apologist and duz_ 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
