Melete Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 ETL VI is conveniently starting right when I'm starting to paint my first army in 12 years. We'll see how much I can finish painting before May 1st but as of today I've got all these models ready for painting: 3 Riptides 6 XV15 Stealth Battlesuits 3 XV25 Stealth Battlesuits 9 XV8 Crisis Battlesuits 1 XV88 Broadside Battlesuit 40 Fire Warriors 10 Pathfinders 20 Kroot 5 Vespid 30 Drones 3 Devilfish 1 Hammerhead 1 Ethereal 1 Kroot Shaper The painting's gone pretty slow so far (I'm roughly 30 Fire Warriors in), but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I'm looking forward to ETL giving me an actual deadline to get this army finished and not just assembled/primed. Even if we are stuck working together with the flithy Greenskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying conservative on my vows when I'm in high gear towards the end of summer will be the tricky part here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shas O R'alai Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I’m so pumped for this :D So thankful to be a part of this community. Thank you for making it May 1st, only 8 more days! Also, I hope you got my Horus Heresy reference Elmo, I’ve been on a HH binge as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhorneHunter57x Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Well, there is word of difference, namely Faction vs. Forum. The Faction is Xenos. That means that the performance of all Xenos Forums will be added together to work out the performance of the Xenos Faction which will be compared to the other 4 Factions of the ETL (Adeptus Astartes, IFOR, Realm of Chaos and AoD). The winning Faction will be ETL VI Magister. However, the Forum that beats ALL other individual Forums (20 in total) will become Exercitus Dominus! Exactly! And here's the deal: All Xenos are in the same Factions so you need all of them to do well in order for Xenos to become ETL VI Magister, and in that sense you are all allies. So what you're saying is that all of the Xenos factions will be working together for the *ahem* greater good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Yeah, in a way... :D Yet each Xenos Forum will have to compete with every other Xenos Forum for supremacy within the Xenos Faction! :) And of course all Forouns compete against all other Forums across the board! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triszin Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'll pledge when it officially starts, but I gotta finish up this semester at college first. SO I probably wont start on this stuff until a week after the official start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 I have had to buy 2 sets of legs for my old suits as they vanished somewhere... should arrive by the end of next week ;) The legs turned up today so the bits are all here for the vows ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I still haven’t ordered my Kroot yet but I have my Commander built and ready. I’ll probably paint some Drones before ETL starts just to maintain the momentum on my T’au. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Only a couple of days to go before the start... Prep your engines ;) I will be initially vowing 2 units of 3 old style XV8s and will be working out points later (they are magnetised so I can use expensive weapon choices ;) ) I expect them to take 2-3 weeks as there are loads of bank holidays coming up in the next few weeks and that means that the wife will have things planned for me to do :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
