Vigrid Of Asgaror Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 So pumped for this one. I hope we do a bit better this year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 To be honest that won't be hard... This year you should refer to yourselves as the Repentia! Good luck to everyone participating and remember that completions are what counts, so even if you only vow a single model that's still good for the cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naminé Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I've already got my repentia soaking in fairy power spray, ready for this to begin :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreaper84 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Just when you though it was safe to be an unpainted sisters army.......i need this precisly to get my gear going. We can use minis that are just primed right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The starting WIP shots can be primed so you're good to go The ETL is great for motivating you to paint so this could be perfect timing for you, I look forward to seeing your vows being completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yay! I have repentia waiting...and more transports. And a squad of battle sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xFallenx Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Nice! I have an Exo, 3 Melta Sisters, an Immolator turret & some priests that I can work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Sadly, it's been ruled that I can only enter on behalf of one faction. And entering sisters would be like voting for a republican in Chicago, a complete and utter waste, since there's zero chance of a respectable outcome. I guess I have to decide between DA and IG... Marines have always won in the past, but with stormtroopers counting for IG, and the codex being brand new, they should get a serious boost, so...I'd really want to do all three, though.

Captain Semper Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Sisters, IG, Mechanicum and Grey Knights combine their forces for the ETL and are a single faction... Besides this is not about being in the winning team, it's about painting the minis you want to paint anyway, while supporting their faction at the same time. And remember, the ETL rewards individual performance aside of the collective one. If you complete your vows you will be awarded the Custos Fidei no matter what the overall performance of the faction is, while if you fail you'll carry the Badge of the Oathbreaker even if your faction becomes Primus Inter Pares! So think what you want to paint the most and go for it. If it's Sisters, it's Sisters! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 We're all in this together There's always rolling some luck cubes to settle it if you can't decide. It's what we do after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigrid Of Asgaror Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I am going to start small like last year, but I have my whole army to paint, so provided when I finish it all there should be a nice amount of points. Not a ton, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Most of my army will be repainted. I have been holding off until ETL was announced to get started but there is a fair bit I needed to paint anyway to play some games with. With some of my army being Imperial Guard Astra Militarum I will have to see the rules about how they fit in. Just as a guess I'm thinking about 3000 - 3500 points total still needs to be painted.

Malus Trux Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Sisters, IG, Mechanicum and Grey Knights combine their forces for the ETL and are a single faction... Wait what? I just play tested a Guard list with allied Sisters. Would that mean I could submit the Guard half for one vow then the Sisters for another? Also would the Inquisition be part of that faction? The IG/SoB list is an Ordo Hereticus taskforce in fluff so would have an =][= in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yes well, no... Although a single faction for the purposes of the ETL I'll ask the Imperial Forces to pledge their vows to one forum... To tell you the truth it is just to make my life easier rather than any other deep rationale... As the B&C is structured now, I have to operate in 4 Strategiums for the Imperial Forces faction and hence having people moving around it'll add another layer of vigilance for me to avoid mistakes. As you'll see in May 1st, the ETL is now fairly complicated anyway (as I try to keep up with the developments of the hobby) so I'm not feeling overly brave to add some more... I did think about it though, I just though t of playing it safe. Even I have limitation in the time I spend online! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Allies aren't part of the ETL, so no sneaking around it - pledge your allegiance to one codex only. Otherwise how could your allies trust you if you've a foot in another camp? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malus Trux Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Fair enough. Hmm in that case I still need to see which side to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanska Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hmmm.. ETL.. I think I'll have to enter as I've done in the past. After last years unforgivable failure I must. But what to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 But what to do... Well, you could paint something. That would be a decent start :teehee: More seriously, if in doubt, start with the basics (in this case, some Battle Sisters)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a decent start :teehee: More seriously, if in doubt, start with the basics (in this case, some Battle Sisters)! The most horrible thing is I realised I've been on a break from the hobby since ETL II... I have the same w.i.p. Jacobus sitting there taunting me just as it was when ETL II ended...

Dosjetka Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Well, start by finishing him off, then move onto whatever else you have lying around/would like to paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Indeed, what better way to atone for the failure of last year? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanska Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yes.. That I shall do. Then maybe priests or a tank, Emperor be willing both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Well guess this will be my motivation to work on my SoB army. I've got quite a few to work on. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I started sorting through my minis getting ready for pics. It's harder than I thought to get it all lined out. I want to make sure all my unpainted stuff gets included so I'm worried about left over special weapons, too many superiorsor not enough bolter girls At least the priests will be easy. Any group of 1 to 5 is a legal unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
