2017 Bartertown Members Assembly Challenge

[kturock]

The flood will be posted soon. I managed to build 2000 of marines for my brothers last month and actually painted 1/3 of the lot for Christmas for him. I failed to take pics though in the holiday frenzy so we will see if I can get pics before new year reigns in.

2000 marines or 2000 POINTS of marines?
If the former, dude, you have my admiration.
If the latter, you still do,but not as much.

Oh god 2000 marines haha. Maybe in my life time. No its like 11 terminators 42 marines a dread rhino pred razor speeder. I built some more stuff but I really wanted to get those as far as I could for my brother. He worked 60 days straight this holiday season.

[Irish1983]

OK this is my last hurah for the year.

Brothers shiny new 40k army:

34 marines (34 points)
11 terminators (22 points)
3 tanks off rhino hull (18 points)
1 speeder (5 points)
1 dreadnaught (5 points)





Auxiliary/support units for my vostroyans:

21 infantry (21 points)
4 Tarantula sentries (8 points)
1 Iron Clad Dread (5 points)
1 Custum Venator (5 points)
2 Manticores (12 points)
1 Taruex Prime (6 points)
1 Custom Gryphone Chimera (6 points)




MWO Battletech:

17 light/medium/heavy mechs (17 points)
3 Assault mechs "size of terminators/Primaris" (6 points)




So 84 points from marines + 63 points in auxiliary etc + 23 points in Mechs = 170 points total


I f I made anything else since my lat post I dont remember it haha. last month has been a blur with school and trying to assemble and paint as much of a 2000 point marine army as sanely possible before Christmas.

Last models I finished on Saturday. Didn't get chance to take pics.
6 Black Fang Indians for Shadows of Brimstone board game and 1 Feral Vampire Lord.
Sigmarite for scale.
6x1 = 6
1x2 = 2
total 8
Plus 103 from above post that hasn't been added,
111 to be added to my years total.

[Irish1983]

Those Black Fangs look awesome.

[Irish1983]

So how did we all do? Waiting on the points update. It looks close.

[kturock]

Close? I did some quick math and I see you, Irish at 555. Akum at 475 and me at 363.

Did I miss anything?

[Irish1983]

I didn't want to assume, and it seems sorta lame to proclaim ones self victor. Jeebus 555...... If I ever wondered what part of the hobby I enjoyed the most I know now haha.

[warlordgarou]

I need to catch up on some things and check the totals, but I think kturock is correct on the math. I need to start a 2018 thread, unless someone else really wants to do it.

[kturock]

I can do it. I volunteered last year, but you beat me to it.

[MagickalMemories]

I can do it. I volunteered last year, but you beat me to it.

If you start it, I'll "Sticky" it.

Any Idea on changing the points?

[Irish1983]

Is there a paricular aspect you wish to change in regards tonthe points?

[kturock]

Complexity of model vs base size. For example, I've built some models that were just glue to the base or glue 2-3 parts together first.
I've built others, that had about a dozen pieces and got the same points for them.
For example, Valkia the Bloody, a Chaos hero from GW. She's about 8-9 pieces and worth 1 point.
All of the models I've built for Shadows of Brimstone have been mostly simple; 1-3 or 4 pieces at most.

The new Necromunda models. In the box set, the Goliaths because they're on a large base are more points than the Eschers. Both have the same number of parts, and the Escher are actually harder to build, because of the smaller attachment points.

Also, all of the new Bloodbowl and Shadowspire minis are only 3-4 pieces. The new easy to build 40k models are only a few pieces.

Also, look at larger models, that have several different arms or weapons. Some of the extras are the same size or bigger than most infantry, and no points for building them.

[MagickalMemories]

One point per piece, with zero points for simply gluing it to a base?
So, any 1-piece monopose models are no points. The minimum point per model would be 2 points, then...
The benefit to this is that size won't be a factor. A 5 piece =I= model is the same points as a 5 piece 40k model. Would even cover fortifications, etc.

Just a thought.
