AgentP Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Escalation League - Week 1 For those of you considering playing in the Ordo 40k Escalation League, here are the league points available at the first game session, beginning January 13, 2014. Because you can gain league points for painting during the month of December, I'm posting this information now. Mission To ease everyone into the league, the opening week we will be playing Maelstrom of War: Cleanse and Control from the basic rule book. Depending on attendance, we may play on full size tables, or play on 4x4 tables. Players should plan on bringing their Maelstrom objective cards, if they have them. (If you don't, you might want to pick some up, as we will be playing a lot of maelstrom missions throughout the league). Special Objectives for the Week Not in the Face!: If your warlord survives the battle not only do you deny your opponent the victory point for slay the warlord, you gain +1 league points (not victory points) and next week (if you play the same warlord) you get a re-roll on the warlord trait table. Secure Objective X: At the beginning of the game, after objective markers are placed, roll a dice. The objective marker that corresponds to the dice roll has special league significance. Whoever controls that objective at the end of the game gains +1 league points. Note, this is not a victory point. Holding this special objective has no bearing on who wins the game. It gives a bonus only to league points. BATTLE LEAGUE POINTS Win the mission +4 league points Tie +3 league points Loss +2 league points PAINTING LEAGUE POINTS - Painting points are awarded for models that are painted to a three-color minimum and based. A maximum of 10 painting points is available each week. Beginning the league with 500+ points painted? +5 league points (regardless of when painted) Models you've painted since December 1 in anticipation of the league: +1 per infantry model +2 per bike base model +3 per 40mm-50mm based models +5 per vehicle, flyer, or 100mm base models FOOD LEAGUE POINTS Did you bring food for the group? +2 points Was it homemade? Bonus +1 COMMUNITY LEAGUE POINTS In the week prior to the match did you post on Ordo or blog about your army? +1 point 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I`m guessing the start time is 6:00?..or has the Tues evening group been starting earlier... Either way I should be there by 6:00:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentP Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 It will depend on the week, but in general I should be able to be there to unlock the place by 5:00. It's not uncommon for someone to be there earlier on Tuesdays however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm having trouble deciding on a paint scheme for my Tau. But I'm toying around with this idea. Now my whole army is unpainted, so hopefully this will work out well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm torn between trying to do a harlequin themed joint eldar list… or a FW Corsair list… Paint scheme for the harlequins would be dark…gothic DE styled Harlequins. Corsair - DK.Grey (PMS Black 7) /Red (PMS 7559 ish…maybe) /Yellow (more of a golden rod… PMS 130 possibly)… details in bone.. gems in teal/ice blue… Tanks blackish … with white/grey void lines. Just not sure yet - I don't want to match my blue/teal wraith army that I have been doing for a decade lol. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 To be honest, I didn't even see that. However, upon further reflection, it sort of fits with the whole "greater good" theme. I'm keeping it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 you could either "modify" the tau logo… or super-impose a hammer and sickle over it… :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 first test model painted. We'll see how it turns out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm keeping it! I did figure it was innocent. The constant TAU joke is what they do when their firewarriors "retire," think animal farm.

AgentP Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Who else is getting excited for the escalation league?! I know I am! Just a little over a week away. I'm busting out the paints this weekend to try and grab some league painting points. Hope to see a good turn out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
