Thank you very much Chase
-
So, we're a week into month 1. How is everyone doing?
-
Haven't had too much time to paint yet, got 5 tac marines and a librarian painted so far. Luckily for me, Space Marines have higher point costs so I don't really have that many models for my first 500 pts :D
-
I took advantage of the warm weather and got some priming in. I was hoping to have my selections through April primed so I wouldn't have a issue with spraying in the basement.
Too bad I ran out of primer :(
I was planning on getting to Abington Saturday for a game or two but my family had other plans for my day.
All in all this week was less productive than I hoped
-
So, we're a week into month 1. How is everyone doing?
Have all my cadians primed and half have the foundation on. My chimera is halfway done. Now all i have to do is paint another 35 guardsmen. :P
-
Getting my beastmen / mutants in order then reviewing the rest of my renegades and heretics.

Pics or it didn't happen.

This work for you, Chase? ;)
Anyways, I think I'll start a thread for painting progresses specifically, since it's likely this thread will be reserved for scheduling games and what not.
Can't wait to start on the rest!
-
No pictures yet, Chase.
I've got finished (painted, not based. bases come at the end):
15 lasgun guys
2 flamer guys
2 vox caster guys
2 sargents
3 plasma gun guys
1 platoon commander guy
-
The gauntlet has been thrown down!
-
I may have started a bit early ;D but I have
1 Warboss
40 boys
2 Nobs
21 Grots
2 Runtherd.
As an added bonus I have 3 Objective markers a friend of mine gave me last Christmas.
I'd love to get a Noob friendly game going Either Friday or Saturday.
Maybe I can get some good picks then on a decent table... My painting bench won't hold it all.

Btw, after this first round, are we going up by another 500 points, or 250? I want to make sure I have my purchase orders lined up correctly.

Pretty sure the cap is at 2K, unless it was changed somewhere along the discussion.

I may be around i'm playing in the arena so i'll bring my 40K stuff just in case 1) I get killed early 2) it wraps up early and we have time for a game.
-
@Logan Those DK are coming along nicely. I especially like the way your bases are coming along.
@King Sounds like a plan. I will try to be there around 3-5
-
@King Sounds like a plan. I will try to be there around 3-5
Yea i'm not sure exactly how long i'll be there but a 500 pt game should go fairly quickly.
-
Im having difficculty with my color scheme. Ive started with Fenris gray as a base coat and went over that with shadow gray...they look to blue now :-/
-

Hey i was there but i didn't see you/ i finally got killed around 5 so you may have been gone. Mabey next time

LOL I was the guy in the baseball cap buying Orks that you talked to for a few minutes.
Next time I'm sure we will manage to get a game in.

Vallejo blue grey is the best color. If I didn't know better, I'd say GW used it for the Wolves in the codex and the boxes. When I painted wolves, that's the color I used. It's perfect.
There are pics of my Wolves in a Battleground FB picture album:

Here is a pic of them based with Fenris Gray and then a layer of Shadow Gray
(http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc373/okami-ventris/SpaceWolvesEIP001.jpg?t=1326603269)
-
I like Sean's blue / grey / whatever, I'm colorblind.
-
I tried a lot of combos with GW paint to get the codex color, but the Vallejo was great and covered in basically 1 coat. If you want the old preheresy look just use straight codex grey as your armor color.
-
It took a while to get the paint scheme the way I wanted. Guess I have to start moving faster now. Here's the first four, black gloves and boots are out now, going with the brown instead....
Squad markings will come later....

Sadly I dont have the time to wait to order Some Vallejo. I gotta work with the citidel stuff i got.

Steve-
is it next week the week that we start playing/ our painting for the 5 points are due. Or is it the week of the 30th? Also for the painting score is it a 3 color min?
-
its the last week of Jan so the 30th. If you mean minimum late score then yes 3 points.
-
There're 31 days in January guys. I know it's only a day, but for some newer players, it could be a big difference. ;)
-
Might I suggest that we come up with a good list of who is at the store when? that might help us schedule things later.
-
im usually there Thursdays and or Fridays
-
I tend to come in on Saturday or Sunday I can show up during the week if someone wants to set up a game around 6:30
-
Many of us were in the store on friday night. We played a 4v3 game which went on too long, but it was still fun.
Just for the record, my 500pts is 100% complete. Painted, highlighted and based. I finished my commissar yesterday. 41 Guardsmen that were only primed on the 1st of the month.
-
way to go dude. From the looks of things the rest of us have a bit of work to do

Yea, from the looks of it i'm going to be late :'(
-
Every one will have until Friday Feb 3rd to get an on time paint score. Im going to say that each round ends by the first available Friday after month's end. This will give some of us a little extra time.
500 points in one month is not as easy as one may think when we all have other things in our lives going on be it school work etc.
-
Ben-
I got that tank tread bit I needed, Thanks!
-
Beastmen (worker rabble) are just needing some basing and are done.
The renegades need basing and are done.
Vehicles... well, lets see how that goes.
-
Most of my stuff is yellow.
-
Ben-
I got that tank tread bit I needed, Thanks!
No problem, Steve. Glad I could help!
I'll have pics of my army posted by the end of this week. Since finishing Lysander, I haven't had much time for painting, but I plan to finish most of it this week.
-
Most of my stuff is yellow.
For some reason this made me laugh.
-
Ok an anonymous person asked a question which I need a group vote for.
"If I have some one help me paint my stuff so its done on time is this cheating?"
Personally I say no since I know people who ask friends for help to get stuff ready for a tournament but for this purpose I think its a bit unmoral.
What say the group?
-
Seems like it's the opposite of what the whole thing is about to me.
Then again, there's little anyone can do about it.
-
That is what im thinking. While we can not do anything about it, its kinda shaddy
-
I agree with Chase. The point of us deciding that we only start with 500 for the first month was so that people could have the time to paint them, without needing to rush themselves too much.
-
Ok,
this is supposed to be fun and motivational. Personally if I'm late or not done, it is what it is.
Ideally, you started from scratch on Jan 1 and by Feb 3 you will have every model built and as many painted as possible. Next month you have fewer to paint and will be able to catch up if you need to.
If you are concerned over hitting the date on time, and getting help will stop you stressing, have at it.
Cheers,
Alan
-
My thought is that it would be one thing if it was a "If all your stuff is not painted by the deadline you get kicked from the group" but it's not. So if you don't get stuff painted, not the end of the world. If you do... good job.
-
I agree with Alan.
It's a casual thing. I know I started not from scratch so I suppose I would be "cheating".
-
Personally I'm going with the theory of if your happy with your army then its all good.
I'll be the first to admit that my objective markers were painted and given to me as a gift from a good friend of mine.
One top of that I had a couple of units painted when this started. I am using this as an excuse to paint the rest of the army and most importantly start playing not just painting 40k again.
Now should you take credit for your friends painting? No that is never good.
Perhaps you don't get credit for painting on time, but you can still get credit for playing the games using those points.
I'm going with the lets make this whole thing as "fun and productive" as we can.
-
Alright for the anonymous person the answer is you need to do your own stuff. ::bangs gavel::
-
Anonymous u slackin bro? I was done Jan 2nd /Gloat
-
Well on a gaming note is anyone up for a refresher game Saturday afternoon?
-
Hate....school....
Its a fair assumption that I'm not going to be done with basing at least.
-
Saturday, more yellow.
-
Artistic block met and beaten. I shall make the deadline!
-
One model away from completing my first 500 points!
-
Hey steve i have yet another question... let's say i want to do a baneblade (500 pts) in march, since then we are doing 250 a month and the baneblade is 500 would i be covered for march and april? Thanks
-
uh....how do you propose to play a normal 40k game with someone that didn't take a superheavy?
-
uh....how do you propose to play a normal 40k game with someone that didn't take a superheavy?
Good point i did not think of that.
-
uh....how do you propose to play a normal 40k game with someone that didn't take a superheavy?
I was going to just bring An'ggrath.
-
But still, if i where to find someone who would want to play with a superheavy and i did want to buy a baneblade for this how would the point- month system work
-
Honestly dude, I don't think superheavies/flyers should be allowed. They really don't fit in the points that we're all doing at this time.
-
Honestly dude, I don't think superheavies/flyers should be allowed. They really don't fit in the points that we're all doing at this time.
Yea i get what you are saying but for right now I am just asking in general, how would something like that work. For all i know i may not even buy one. All i am doing right now is asking. And is valkries/ sky talons flyers?
-
The general rules of fliers from Forgeworld being used in 40k are that they become skimmers. Valkyries become fliers in Apocalypse but are just skimmers in 40k.
A baneblade is 500 points so hypothetically, if they were allowed, would yes, then knock you up into 1000 points.
-
My 500pts of Guard can't handle 500pts of Marines. What would they do with a Baneblade? I think a Baneblade would cause guardsmen to run away at low points. :)
-

I think your 500 points of guard did very well against an equal number of points of marines, if you ask me (I don't remember exactly, but you had your plasma in your CCS squad right? not your PCS).
-
Plasma in the PCS. In the next 250, I'm moving some weapons around and adding some autocannons.
-
in the next 250 im getting some more heavy weapons teams (autocannons)

You guys are gonna love 6th edition.

You guys are gonna love 6th edition.
hmmmmmm I'm curious what that meant.
The guesses I can make are
A. Less vehicles.
B. More and bigger vehicles
-
You guys are gonna love 6th edition.
I have a bad feeling about 6 edition... no more tank armys :-[
-
Is anyone be interested in a 500 pt game tomorrow?
To be fair its been a while since I played so I'm a bit rusty.
-
Sorry for the late reply. No supper heavies and or fliers are allowed. If any one after we have accumilated 2k point armies wishes to invest in some after the tale feel free!
-

I like the idea of no tank armies. I have always been partial to tons of infantry anyway.
-
Great tactic. Look like you buy all these transports and tanks and oh wait they are bad now. Looks like you need to spead more money on dudes.

To be honest the only reason i went for IG is for the tanks.

I don't think you'll ever be able to beat a couple of lumbering Leman Russ tanks. I plan to use them anyway. Infantry always need a bit of support.

Lamenters are moving slowly. Depending on how much phsysicizing and mathematicology I have to do, I should be on time or a little late. These vehicles are killing me. So much Iyanden Darksun!

I won't be in Boston when you guys have the deadline, so I figure I'd just post my completed force here on the boards.
-
Looking good, Mike.
-
Can't wait to play against them! Outnumbered 2 to 1?! Who cares?! For the Emperor! :P
-
im doing my damnest to get these Wolves done in time. Ugh Blue gray is a hard color to work with especily with tons of little trinkets hanging off the armor
-
Transports are still worth it. The main job is to add an extra layer of defense and mobility to your troops. Which they still do. They may have been nerfed, but they remain viable as always. Besides chimeras are the mainstay of imperial guard lists to begin with so you will stay fine. Your other common tanks didn't lose much either. Honestly nothing did, gw just made you rethink your investment into a transport/tank. Overall 6th edition will be the same for most armies and even make them better, the army rankings will not change at all.
-
Do you guys know something about 6th Edition I don't? Because I don't know anything about 6th Edition, at least until it's here in my hands.
-
The only 2 rumours that are going around is 1) Much like in WHFB, GW is thinking about having a percentage rule where instead of a Standard Force Org, it would be like only 15% of your army can be tanks and 50% of your army has to be troops (these are just random % by the way) and that could really mess up people (like me) who play mech guard. The other one is that diffrent kinds of infintary can move diffrent lengths. Hope i help and sorry for all the spelling mistakes ::)
-
I think you're under estimating how cheap and valuable a chimera can get.
Ben, beasts of war has an interview up with gw on their site. Nothing is final but alot was confirmed/denied from the current leaked rulebook. For example the turn order will remain the same (move shoot assault). Oh... And no evasion crap.
That's about all we'll really know until very close to release. On a side note a gw store employee leaked info on black Templar playtests: a biker character and the oldest emperors champion (forget his name) with eternal warrior and a "lash-like ability" to call out challenges/beat face, etc.
-
the rumor going around is the heritic rulebook which is a downloadable document which is 6th edition.. or is it. the turn sequence is really different. it is worth looking at.
-
alright guys final paint jobs due no latter than this Friday 2-4-12. If you cnat come or post pics please use the honor system.
Every one has until 2-4-12 Friday until the next Friday to play games.
Late Scores will be taken as of 2-5-12 until the next friday

Chad!!!! After the arena your going down!!!

I'll try to make Friday after 6 pm.

Hey i just got a idea, what if right after this league is over we have some sort of "tale of 16 gamers finale tournament" Where, it would be in abington, we could open it up to just those 16 people or to everyone, the point value could be what we ended with, and (at lease for the 16 people) you have to choose the army you did for the tale. It was just one of my ideas and i think it would be good for the 16 gamers to "show off" thier armys.

Hey i just got a idea, what if right after this league is over we have some sort of "tale of 16 gamers finale tournament" Where, it would be in abington, we could open it up to just those 16 people or to everyone, the point value could be what we ended with, and (at lease for the 16 people) you have to choose the army you did for the tale. It was just one of my ideas and i think it would be good for the 16 gamers to "show off" thier armys.
I would rather do an apocalypse battle :)
+1 to the Apoc game!
-
Apocalypse would be awesome!
-
wait.. you can do a apocalypse with 2500 points.... than yea!!! Bring it on!
-
Well, the recommended point amount per side is 3K at the minimum, but if we're playing teams, then that'll obviously not be an issue.
-
My new physics TA is some kind of time vampire. She wants me to write my lab reports in a completely different way than the previous semester, make them longer, and introduced a new graphing system for data. I may end up failing this month. This weekend, the Darksun will be flying all over the place but no promises.
-
I will also be late but that's because I was hospitalized. (cue sympathy)
I may not be though. I will however, be submitting pictures instead of in person because I'm kinda stuck in the house.
-
I will also be
late not done because mid - january i said to myself "painting will only take like 2 days max" It takes a lot longer than that. And i have no idea on how to do basing. It's not looking good for the guard
-
Basing is easy, just spread some Elmer's white glue a little thinned with water on the base, submerge base into sand basing material. Wipe off the edge of the base with your finger so the only basing substance is on the top of the base as intended. Do it with all your dudes, then paint the basing material (once it's dry) with a thinned paint, calthan brown works well for this.
Make sure the base is neat and you are done.
-
thanks

Ok be honest guys who finished on time? I admit I did not. I fell short by 2 transports and 3 marines. To my understanding not every one fared well to get 500 points painted in one month. I thought of granting a courtesy extension or we can just call this the day its due and take it like men. What say the group?
-
I say for this month (talking about january) extend and feb extend because of 500 pts. the elf has spoken!
-
In my opinion it would be silly to extend a deadline after it has past.
People may have worked hard to meet that deadline. Why extend it to give the people that failed to meet it a chance at "full credit" when the guys that were on the ball get nothing for doing what they were supposed to?
My $0.02
-
I agree with chase and I barely got my stuff primed. I think deadline should stick for first 500 but could be extended for next 500
-
This tale of X is pretty bad when the person running it can't paint 500 points of marines in a month. Maybe you should just restart. Or call it...
-
Honestly, I've been so busy that I got like 7 marines done and that's all. I don't think we need to extend the deadline however. I'm sure some people spent alot of time trying to meet the deadline. I'm just glad I wasn't the only one that failed. Haha.
-
Stick to the rules! Even if EVERYONE is late except Sean.
-
I don't have an appendix, on pain medicine and haven't showered in 3 days. I will finish today and take my punishment for doing so.
Man/Woman it up people!
-
Ok then no extension! This is my ruling! ::bangs Gavel::
-
Are we turning in our results in this thread or another?
-
I finished on time.
-
If we are posting here, I finished on time also.

-
I'm not finished but damn close. Since I'm already late, I'll submit pictures tomorrow of it done. All I need to do is finish the basing but that can wait for my submission tomorrow.
-
Turn in results in this thread and there eventualy will be score cards at the store. Chad im looking at you for that board ;)
-
In that case.
Painted on time and Tied result.
-
ill be around thursday or friday with a late painted army if any ones to play.
-
Not finished. But i will be there tomarrow, tuesday and mabey friday.
-
I did finish as well. You can find the pics of my army on the thread I started named "Army Painting Progress". :)
-
I will not be finished on time.

Cheers,
Alan

EDIT:
Sorry for the bigfoot-esque images as well, I'm not all here as far as painting and camera holding. I'll post better pictures later as I'm pretty happy about my weathering I did.

Pretty sure that's the plan... :D
-
This week looks super heavy, so mark me down as incomplete with 2 wins and a draw. I'll be picking all my big stuff like Stormravens so I can catch up this month. Even with foundation paints, yellow is roooooough.
-
My next 500 is looking like Demolisher, Vanquisher and possibly some more mutants and another priest. This may change though...
-
My next 500 is a Wolf Lord, Wolf Guard, and some Thunder Wolf Calvery

Sufficient assault cannons.
-
Can I bring 2 Lysanders? :P
-
Mine is pretty simple a Executioner with all the big guns, Guardsman Marbo (more like guardsman Rambo) and Commissar Yarrick. With upgrades on the tank its just 500, and best of all only 2 men to paint!

-
He isn't Space Wolves are like, Tier 453. I mean, they're AWFUL against mass AP3. He's a bold man.

I may be changing my list up after consulting with the resident IG genius.
-
This weekend I hope to get a bunch done, but I have Necromunda/Warmachine fever, so we'll see what actually gets painted.

Hey guys i have some rather bad news, i have to quit the tale of 16 gamers. Well with school not getting any easer it's getting harder for me to find time to paint. Also with a small paper route & GWs rising prices, it's hard for me to come up with the $ for 250 points each month, while still trying to save for stuff like drivers ed and hanging out with friends. I am still playing 40K but i will be expanding at a "slower pace". I am sorry to just drop like that but i gotta do what i gotta do. And sorry for the long post.
-
Well, I would say sorry to hear but it's good to do things out of the hobby. ;)
I'm just glad you are part of the community.
-
I'm just glad you are part of the community.
Looking for some help with your superheavy?

lol! I think it might be little bit before i get one of those, i want to get really good at painting/ modeling before i take on one of those. But i hope i can field one at the megabattle, and yes i thing when i do get one i will need some help. ;)
-
Speechless... ::)
-
Well I officially have a 1000 point painted army. I'm hoping to get some pictures of my army.
How did everyone else do?
-
I'm pretty late. I kinda got distracted with painting other crap for the same army :P.
-
Still working on my 500. :-\
Too many projects, too much school. I'm going to keep trucking, though.
-
I'm late too -- I figure i'll just add the extra 250 into it and get the 1250 painted by the end of the month.
-

Sean's in good shape though, interesting to watch the boy working on his marines!

Glad you're feeling better now, Steve. :D

I did not get a chance to get to the store or post pics. Here is how I finished my Feb army.
(http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx205/Randll/Orks/IMG_0100.jpg)
Here is Snikrot on his own.

-
Nice! Snikrot is one of my favs.
-
wow, thats really good! Nice job!
-
I will be at BG thursday and prob friday as well this week if any one wants to play. Hopefuly Nurgle wont bless me again.
-
I notice things are quiet how is every one coming?
-
Painting wise I've been doing good.
Gaming wise, Not so good never got a game in for March.
-
Slowly plugging away.
-
Don't think I'll be making this month's deadline on time either. Hopefully I'll have it all done by the middle of next week though. Pics to follow soon after.
-
im way behind myself Ben. I have a convention this weekend and ive been busy all month getting ready for it.
-
It's all cool, Steve. Life happens. :P
Enjoy PAX Con!
-
Chug chug, waaaaay Behind, but this is good motivation.
Is anyone actually on track?

Got a little more held up this week. I'm about 50 points away from the end of my 250.
-
How many points are we up to?
-
1500 by the end of April.
-
I shoujld be at 1500 or close end of april. Things are behind as I get ready for Adepticon.
-
My second and third games and due dates are 0's :( ill try to shift gears and finish the 1500
-
This actually still happens? What does that even mean?
-
it means who ever has the highest score at the end will get something from me.
-
So take that as a warning!
-
Ive accumulated enough points but im behind on my painting and games so lots of 0's for me :(
-
Steve, is this still a real thing?
-
I'm not steve but as far as I'm concerned it is. Even with the beating real life has been giving my hobby time.
-
Steve, is this still a real thing?
Yes it is. Ive just been very busy irl life lately.
-
well it seems to me every one has given up on this. Oh well.
-
well it seems to me every one has given up on this. Oh well.

-
Dude, I'm still on track for finishing my 2000 in time. Just b/c people are taking their time with their armies isn't reason to just throw in the towel. Let it ride out to the end, and see how it goes.
-
well Ben no one is reporting in their on time paint scores and battle points.
-
Well I've been slacking on the reporting but painting I have been doing.
Thanks to family and the rest of real life games have been outside of the realm of possibilities. So I have a lot of 0's there. But I was never in this for the prize. I just was hoping this would spark Some games in Abington and I would have a nice Ork army.
I'd love to get a game in with any of the 16 who are still taking part. I may be a bit late but I will end this thing with 2000 points of orks. Once I get one of those new fliers the points will go up :)
-
Well my space wolves are not fully painted im always up for a game on thurs. or Fri
-
If we can say next Thursday or Friday I'm all there.
This week is a horror show thanks to the holiday.
-
My schedule mutated a bit we just lost ANOTHER staff member so I wont be around Friday i may be around Thursday. But I got Sunday and Monday Free
