[Uprising]

Summoning ritual failed; FashaTheDog appears instead!

Daemons

10 Bloodthirsters - one with the Eternal Blade, although I didn't add the 30 points in since it was a gift and I figured it was not allowed to model random options anyway.

10!  10!  It took me five hours to assemble 1 today, you are a brave man.  Also who wants to burn some loyalist today? 

 

Keep up the good work everyone, I am vowing mine tonight, after I pack. 

 

@Semper:  This is our black crusade.  Also want to join the chaos side, we have a fallen robe for you?

[Kilofix]

Are we winning yet?

[Namia]

Hello everyone! I am a newbie here and looking forward to joining in on the fun of the ETL! I have quick question before I place my vow. I plan on painting up some skinks as my pink horrors. Can I do a "count as" for them?

[daveNYC]

I daveNYC answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete one Emperor's Children Sonic Dread and one Repulsive Grand Cruiser.

[FashaTheDog]

As Cultist-chan says above, the total for the vow is 10,341 points.  I still need to take pictures of the Screamers (only their tails are in the lesser daemon picture), Berserkers, and canon Plague Marines.  I should also probably take pictures of the unprimed stuff after I prime and sort it for ease as well, but for now I have two dozen greater daemons to paint as well a bunch of little things, so those starting shots can wait. 

 

As for pinning, who needs to pin models when God invented epoxy?  ...Well Thomas Zincke invented it, but when was the last time you said, "thank Thomas Zincke" or "Thomas Zincke Dammit?"  Besides, if you believe in God, then you could make the argument that God invented Thomas Zincke and Thomas Zincke invented epoxy so therefore God invented epoxy.  So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view.

Should be fine. Welcome.

[Chaeron]

@Semper. Black is so last season. Can't we have a magenta, cerulean, eucalyptus, ruby, scarlet, fulvous, gamboge, cyan, majorelle, byzntium, or anything other than black. Unless it's with pearls. Must be pearls.

 

A veritable technicolour dreamcoat.

Hey Captian, does this count as in the "very early stages of painting"? It's just the one side of the one wing that I've started doing the trim on.

That is an awesome pic Uprising, where's it from?

 

Dragonlover

[Forté]

@Uprising. Don't forget to remove the points for any upgrade that cannot be modelled under the standard WYSIWYG rules. No auras and rewards really.

[incinerator950]

I'm sure you could paint a sort of glow or use led glow.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Semper, I'd love to do a vow, but there's several FW Chaos units that have been 40k approved in the Imperial Armour Apocalypse book and I want to include them.

 

Why is the chaos section in *this* book not included in the legal list?

[Brother Heinrich]

Well I'm pledging a Chaos Contemptor from there and I think some other people have pledged Titans, so I would assume its legal man.

[Scribe]

Indeed, those arent lists but FW 40K Approved Units, if they arent on the list I assume oversight...as I complete my Decimator....

From the main ETL III post.

Forge World
Here we have three major categories: i) vehicles that are described in Imperial Armour books 1 & 2 (second editions) and are supposed to be used as part of the Codex’ army lists, ii) FW minis used to represent alternative versions of standard Codex units and iii) the FW Imperial Armour army lists that stand apart from any particular Codex. So here is how to deal with the above:

i) Forge World has produced the Second Edition of the first and second volumes of Imperial Armour (Imperial Guard and War Machines of the Adeptus Astartes respectively) as well as the various Apocalypse supplements. These books cover all the issues with vehicles that participants may want to use along with their Codex force i.e. point values and compatibility with certain Codices. Relic vehicle rules means that, vehicles that would otherwise be reserved for the Horus Heresy setting can now be used in the 40k context and to support your preferred faction!

ii) Using Forge World minis to represent alternative versions of standard Codex units is no problem at all. Feel free to use the DKoK to represent standard Guard if you want or the various SM armour marks (even those designated “Legion”) with the standard Codex of choice. Straight forward, no?

iii) For FW 40k army lists, things are a bit less straight forward – especially given that some armies integrate elements of various factions (as per ETL definitions). As such I have worked out a table where for each list presented in the Imperial Armour series is allocated to an ETL faction. The table is based on theme rather than play style or the actual miniatures used to represent said army – i.e. The Defenders of Vraks can be viewed as predominantly an Imperial Guard list which however is allocated to the Realm of Chaos faction.

[Forté]

Semper, I'd love to do a vow, but there's several FW Chaos units that have been 40k approved in the Imperial Armour Apocalypse book and I want to include them.

 

Why is the chaos section in *this* book not included in the legal list?

Because they are completely legal under the Escalation rules due to the various markings in the book already. If it says 'Warhammer 40,000' its covered by standard rules. Any of the others count as Lords of War for that army so you can use any of the Chaos ones. And use the Tyrants Army update list in the Download section on the FW site which gives access to a load of the IG Super Heavies too.

[Brother Heinrich]

Basically.... PLEDGE THAT DAMNED TITAN AUGUSTUS!!!

[Augustus b'Raass]

I, Augustus b'Raass, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX III.

Vow edited b/c I had to take out 1 unit of termies. It was in too advanced state of painting. Also after consideration with Semper I deleted the contemptor from the vow and added an extra raptor and a raptor lord.

 

 

 

Here's the E Tenebrae Lux III vow on my WIP thread.

[Brother Heinrich]

Awesome dude, are you planning on stripping/re-painting the termies and the cultists?

[Augustus b'Raass]

Awesome dude, are you planning on stripping/re-painting the termies and the cultists?

No. I plan to finally finish them. They've been on the shelf for ages and all still need a lot of work. The cultists have been magnetized to my lamp for two years almost. I now vowed to complete all these units. 

[Uprising]

@ Augustus b'Raass: I wish I could like this a million times, that lot look so impressive especially when their night lords. 

@ Dragon lover: I just Google khorne art, and it was their.  Its my second favorite khorne pic every. 

@ Forte:  I email semper, as I modeled the rewards by having scarifies on the bases.  I will take pics tomorrow once the greenstuff dries(That metal bloodthrister was a pain, taking a total of 10 hrs to assemble.) 

@Fasha: I envy you, 10,340 points is amazing. 

@ everyone else, continue the hard work, we will win this year.

 

p.s. I think I tick off the black templars

[Forté]

Fair enough. I still remember doing one of those in 8 hours. Start to finish. Those days are gone now though.

Try asking about Dornian Heresy versions of Dorn and Sigismund; that really gets their goat!
