Kua Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I, too, approve of this idea. :) So I tried reading through those ETL rules and... for normal people, who don't paint entire apocalypse-sized armies in the course of an annual event, all the talk about points cost and whatnot doesn't really matter, does it? I'd say it depends. For me personally, no. I don't think I even participated in the ETL last year, but I will this year... for one unit, maybe two. I don't paint fast and it's therapy for me I'm not going to start rushing just for fake internet points. Others love it and see it as a huge motivation for them. It really depends on what your goals are. But... what is this motivation? Sure, you get an extra badge if you paint a stupendous amount of points, but we are speaking about normal people here. And then the competition between the forums: Does not the most populated forum win anyway? I mean, I don't see any xenos winning the ETL this year, next year or the years after.

Nusquam Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Everything is assembled minus the helmets in the mail: I'm excited to work on them. If there really is a "Gravis" wave I think I'll do Black Guard. I love thematic forces. Race Bannon, Dracos and duz_ 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorNese Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Currently I'm stuck concerning the non-primaris stuff I've vowed. Mastodon is progressing, though I haven't fixed the conversions in place yet - too many ideas I still need to develop further. At least the vehicle itself is almost done. Vigilator is ready for basecoating, but I won't assemble him before I do, so I can still cleanly paint the parts that are harder to reach. Just the rhino is an issue...by playing purely primaris, that thing is on the verge of being sold off to a friend. I have several (points expensive) squads of primaris ready for ETL and several primaris vehicles on the backlog, but the rhino is not on the list of things I'll do anytime soon. duz_ and Race Bannon 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longjohnsilver Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Very nicely done but isn't that going past the ETL starting point or did I miss something? Yeah but I've got special dispensation from the Chaplaincy for this mission. I'm even allowed to paint heretics... I've been slacking so only one assault marine and two Fallen done. This means I've got 20 models to do in 9 days. Trying to work out a timetable for that.. :S The shadow prize fund has grown to include 3 aggressors, a redemptor (2 issues), the librarian and the 3 ETB intercessors from issue 1. In case you think I'm a sicko who hates dreadnoughts I already have 3 in the queue for my army; a Venerable, an Ironclad and a later blue plastic remake of the AoBr dread.

thewarriorhunter Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Drum roll..... Finally Vow 1 is complete! Hidden Content I also finished priming the leg armor for my venerable and two new heads for my Shadowspear Captain and LT because I've decided I can't run marines without helmets. I'm counting my contemptor vowed as a Mortis with las cannons. I'll paint up the CC weapon, Kheris Assault cannon and Melta so I can run this in the Calth missions.

longjohnsilver Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 So I heard you wanted an Arch Heretic/ bad gunslinger/ evil dude? Had to kneel quite hard for one of those pictures which is awkward when you're chained to the painting desk. duz_ and Race Bannon 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracos Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 I apologize for my life issues interrupting the end of this event. I appreciate everyone's questions, participation, and appreciation of each of our Brother's hard work. Time for out banners to be taken into each of our Chapter Relic Vaults. We now have this badge to be copy and pasted in the signatures for each of you that have completed at least one project to a pre=ETL standard. Speaking of completed projects special kudos to thewarriorhunter who led the murder of ravens, edging out Ambit in reporting his progress. I completed my own vow and will post a pic in my Warhawk thread, but having issues getting my phone and computer talking to each other at the moment. Badge: Dawn of Shadows Anyone having issues getting it to work please contact me.

Hey Kua, I'm sure there is space if you get creative with the plastic Vindicator front plate. The FW Resin version is certainly "beefy" in the front. Grats to everyone with the event :tu: And a YUGE THANKS to Dracos for starting and running it :wub: I can see this as a continuing event going forward ^_^ duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracos Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 lol ... not on a technicality, per se, although you were the only two to send the PM of your points I asked for. :) I do look forward to seeing much of what was built during DoS painted in the upcoming ETL. MajorNeese and Race especially have some sweet looking vehicles on their tables. Same goes for your Contemptor WarriorHunter. :) duz_ and Race Bannon 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for your Contemptor WarriorHunter. I'm looking forward to painting it. I'm going to take a slight break from 40k and look into a WW2 system because I'm on a history kick, but my plans are to finish my librarians, then finish my mixed combat squad so I have those two units to field. After that I'll probably work on my contemptor so I have some more heavy hitting dakka in my army because that's a huge hole that I presently have. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajorNese Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thank you for hosting this event - it's a great reminder to not directly paint stuff, and get things going before ETL starts. I could see this getting a regular preparation event so we might show the other chapters how it's done. Well, it's official, my vow is definitely not completed. Due to switching over to primaris the Rhino got shelved, Mastodon has the main part done but no exterior addons, not even sponson guns, so it probably won't be used in ETL. The reivers are already painted, so they are out as well. Which doesn't mean I'm not prepared for ETL... Recent primaris buildup, for a total of...10p more than the Mastodon: 10 Infiltrators 5 Hellblasters 3 Aggressors 3 Eliminators 1 Captain in phobos armour 1 Redemptor dreadnought Does anyone know when ETL is starting? If it still takes one or two weeks, I might finish my second Repulsor, which will be on tracks if things work out. duz_, Shadow Captain Vyper, Dracos and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Quixote Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Thanks for running this event Dracos, while I failed to get all the stuff I wanted to done it has served to get progress rolling. I have now got undercoated ready to paint the Captain, Whirlwind and 5 Vanguard Vets. The librarian is almost there, I'm still toning down the amount of detail to my liking and testing my green stuff skills on a few details of my own. Failed to finish painting the tacticals. Just not feeling the love there and my time is being swallowed by real life at the moment. I'll do some pictures at some point...
