Tale of 25 Gamers Pledge Thread!

[ChaosJedi666]

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

Wow, 1283 models over 6 months...Would be so cool if we all lived in the same area, then once it was done we could all get together, and take a massive group shot of ALL the models.

Oni, or any Mod, can you adjust my pledge.
GG are Mantic models.
Also, add on 10 skellies (again, mantic)
Wight King on foot (Revenant King from Mantic)
Wight BSB (Revenant BSB from Mantic)

Also, LoTR Range here, Dalamyr Fleet Master of Umbar
Bullroarer Took
and an Orc Captain w/Standard

Might get Empire Wizards x 5
and Brettonian Knights x 4 done
Probably wont get these last ones painted. Putting the LoTR mini's in as I have had them for years, unpainted, and this way I have to paint them Still waiting on the 10 skellies and the 2 Wights to arrive. If I can, I'll get a start on either my HE or IG. That won't be pledged, so dont worry. I'll get the above done in 6 months.

Cheers,
Chaos

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

OK, so assuming it is not too late, and having been a little overambitious last time, I will go for completing the following, all from the Mantic range:

Malak's Legion of Death (ordered on pre-release)
Malak, Vampire Lord on Pegasus
Revenant King
Necromancer Lord
Female Necromancer
Undead Standard Bearer
Revenant Knights (5 Cavalry Figures with Command Group)
2 x Undead Skeleton Regiment (40 Figures with Command Group)
2 x Undead Revenant Regiment (40 Figures with Command Group)
2 x Undead Ghoul Troops (20 Figures)
2 x Balefire Catapult with Crew
1 x Undead Wraith set (5 Figures)

I will also try to do (bonus wish list):
Undead Warhost
1 x Undead Skeleton Regiment (20 Figures with Command Group)
1 x Undead Revenant Regiment (20 Figures with Command Group)
1 x Undead Ghoul Troops (10 Figures)
1 x Balefire Catapult with Crew

These are all currently on order (Malak's Legion of Death) or boxed (Undead Warhost), so no pressure :zombie:

 

[Order of the Blood Dragon]

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

Ok I was hoping my pledge would be changed to this:

Vampire Lord (gonna use +3 A sword, red fury, infinite hatred, ghoulkin, strength potion and some more stuff)
Vampire (gonna use +2 A sword, red fury and some more stuff)
Konrad
60 Ghouls (20, 20, 20)
22 Dire Wolves (6, 6, 5, 5)
8 Blood Knights (4, 4)

Base Cost - 1,546pts I think

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

Updated model count as well but didn't include Skaramak's bonus list (though I did copy it into the first post)

IG Storm Trooper Squad (Storm Trooper Sergeant with Plasma Pistol and Power Weapon, Storm Trooper with Grenade Launcher, 8 Storm troopers with Hellguns, deep strike beacon)(190 pts ELITE)(11 Models)

IG Platoon Command Squad (Platoon Commander, Guardsman with Medi-pack, Guardsman with Platoon Standard, Guardsman with Vox Caster, Guardsman with lasgun)(80 pts Troops)(5 Models)(Leads Rifle Platoon)

IG Infantry Squad (Sergeant with ccw and laspistol, Guardsman with Grenade Launcher, Guardsman with Vox Caster, 7 guardsmen)(60 pts)(10 models)(Rifle Platoon)

IG Infantry Squad (Sergeant with ccw and laspistol, Guardsman with Grenade Launcher, Guardsman with Vox Caster, 7 guardsmen)(60 pts)(10 models)(Rifle Platoon)

IG Special Weapons Squad (3 Guardsmen with Flamers, 3 Guardsmen with lasguns)(50 pts)(6 Models)(Rifle Platoon)

IG Platoon Command Squad (Platoon Commander, Guardsman with Medi-pack, Guardsman with Vox Caster, Heavy Weapons Team with Mortar)(70 pts Troops)(5 Models)(Leads Fire Support Platoon)

IG Infantry Squad (Sergeant with ccw and laspistol, Guardsman with Grenade Launcher, Guardsman with Vox Caster, Guardsman with Missile Launcher, 6 Guardsmen)(75 pts)(10 models)(Fire Support Platoon)

IG Infantry Squad (Sergeant with ccw and laspistol, Guardsman with Grenade Launcher, Guardsman with Vox Caster, Guardsman with Missile Launcher, 6 Guardsmen)(75 pts)(10 models)(Fire Support Platoon)

IG Heavy Weapons Squad (3 Autocannon Teams) (75 pts)(3 Models)(Fire Support Platoon)

IG Veteran Squad (Sergeant with Power Weapon and Plasma Pistol, Veteran with Sniper Rifle, Veteran with Missile Launcher, Forward Sentries Upgrade)(120 pts Troops)(10 Models)

Thats 98 models at 930 base points. A note of warning, some have more than the allowed amount of paint on them, but I am willing to (and tempted to) re spray all of my minis black and starting their paint job over again if neccesary. (Am tempted to start afresh on them anyway)
This will basically take care of the infantry contingent of my IG army. After these are all painted, I will be painting my tanks and maybe some of my VC, but those models wont be part of the Tale of X Gamers.

Wow, I think Santawraith just broke the most points pledged! Woohoo, any challengers? . We must be getting close to 1600 models by now. *drools*

It is for TWO people though... and it's a very high character ratio in there too (60% points in characters).

Nice pledge though!! Looking forward to seeing some of that!

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

I couldnt get my pervious pledge edited.

Ill update the first post now, I was lazily trying to avoid the job but I guess I'd better do it.

Edit: Updated.

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

Thanks rubber Duckie.

 

[Sanai]

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

Ducky, you probably should put them all into alphabetical order too. *laughs evilly*
Thanks for updating it.

 

[Kalandros]

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

I'll also pledge in the new starter warhammer boxed set - island of blood, only the High Elf models however. We don't know how many models will be in it though ]:

And I'll pitch it 'if time permits':
- 2 Black Coaches

 

[uga bug]

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

Now I've read more about 8th Ed I've changed my pledge, here is the new one:

 

[IvorTangrean]

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

I need to edit my pledge as well:

25 Grave Guard 330pts
60 Skeletons 540pts

Just upping the numbers

 

[Shane]

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

Due to the evil nature of the jobcentre staff my painting time has been reduced to almost none-existant. So I'm gonna have to pull out of the Tale. Sorry to anyone I've dissapointed.

I'll still try and paint up the dwarfs I'd pledged to do but it's going to have to be a long term log now

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

Ok then, so we are slowly approaching the start date! I hope everyone is getting ready!

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Tale of X Gamers Pledge Thread!

Mostly primered and eagerly waiting the start.

 

[Big D Von Carstein]

20 Warriors w/HW and Sheilds + f/comm 20 Warriors w/GW and FC

BSB on Oath Stone BSB on foot
12 Miners w/FC + 2 x 4 man unit fillers
