Ask Auntie Bagger

[TWB]

A lot of People seem to have questions about the whole Warseers "project", so this is the place to ask them and, hopefully, get them answered.
I'll answer every question within reason (I'm looking at you niddy!).
I look in at least twice a day (although my weekends are quite hectic, and it'll quite random intervals, so bear with me.)
Ask Away.

Ok, I guess I will be the first to sully this thread.
How close are we to finding out "who will be what"? The badge and colors polls seem like they are close and might take a while yet, but the traits and divergences poll seems like it is pretty obvious already. I only ask so we can get started on our modeling/converting. For those of us who are hoping for different units, we cannot start until we know for sure.

Edit: Are we starting off with a particuler army list like say for example, 1500 points with specific points paid for each model or are we going for an overall force that models will be chosen from for games. I am sure it is hoped for the latter later on, but which are we starting with?

[neXus6]

Yeah answer that before this thread turns into "Ask Auntie Bagger if you can be the model you want to be" thread.

*resists temptation to ask, but Evil knows what I want*


But yeah, I'm not even going to pick a name until I know what I'm going to be never mind waiting for the paintscemes to be chosen.

Those of you who have arranged yourselves in groups will be able to get your modeling knives out as soon as you can agree amongst yourselves who will be doing what (remember, non guilders can only make standard sergeants), here is a quick rundown on how it works.

Most Groups will initially be asked to produce a Tactical squad and may then choose to build an Assault or Devestator squad if they have enough members.
After the groups are sorted the rest of the participants will be lumped together into squads to flesh out what is there already (Athough undersized squads supplied by Groups will not be bulked out).

As you hoped, it is the latter, with around 150 people signed up, any kind of sensible army list is nigh on impossible, for the time being we will concentrate on what I call a "disposition of forces list", meerly listing each squad and it's members.

Cool deal, I will scamper back to the Historical Weapons society to tell them the good news and break out the jump packs.

[Shas'o'Fior]

How about those of us that are participating that do not belong to a particular group? how do we divide ourselves up?

[immortal99]

are those transfer thingys (with the warseer logo on., please be 6 please be 6!) you are going to be making for free or can you buy them?

[Son of Morkai]

1) Are you going to bother spliting the squads up into different companies? Will you be including company colors? On the shoulder pad trim or elsewhere? (Looking at the lead two color schemes, I think that the left knee pad would be the best place...)

2) Squad Markings as arrows/chevrons/etc. or numerals? On the right shoulder pad or elsewhere?

[mattjgilbert]

I'm a guilder who request to be an assault marine. What should I paint up? A vet serg (like I think I read somewhere) with jump-pack or just a regular assault marine? Will a list be produced confirming what people are expected to deliver?

[kermit]

What happens if someone signs up to be a guilder any point before or after being assigned a troop type?

You'll be divided up into full 10 man squads in a fairly random manner according to when you first posted on the Stand and be Counted thread.

Please do feel free to make a group up for the purposes of this project though, the group does not have to be recognisedas a Warseer group to qualify, EVIL INC's group started only a week or so ago. Groups are basically a way of letting people arrange themselves into squads.

are those transfer thingys (with the warseer logo on., please be 6 please be 6!) you are going to be making for free or can you buy them?

We have yet to work that out, we are in communication with Griffon Games and depending on what deal we can work with them we will see. We aren't aiming to make a profit from them though, we have considered splitting up the sheets so as to diffuse the cost to each individual (nobody needs 20 chapter icons for 1 marine . . . )

Yes we are going to split the army into various companies, so far we have company commanders for the 1st,2nd,3rd and 10th companies. We'll be discussing the applications of company and squad markings when we are sure of what the Chapter colours will be.

I'm a guilder who request to be an assault marine. What should I paint up? A vet serg (like I think I read somewhere) with jump-pack or just a regular assault marine? Will a list be produced confirming what people are expected to deliver?

If you aren't part of a Group you will be given a choice depending on what's available when we get to your name on the Stand and be counted thread, I will be trying my best to put everyone in a satisfactory squad/troop type. As a guilder you'll automatically be offered a veteran model, be it a member of a veteran squad, a Terminator or a Veteran Sergeant.

What happens if someone signs up to be a guilder any point before or after being assigned a troop type?

Contact me if your guilder status changes after your troop type has been allocated and I'll try to re-arrange, this is part of hte reason that non group memebers will be arranged into full 10 man squads, to give us a little buffer if people guild up or drop out

Dear Auntie Bagger,

is this the final group registration thread? Because I remember there to have been another, which since vanished from my sight.

Also, when we register a group, and already have an idea about squad-type and organization, shall we just register with names and numbers, or also add all the details?

(nobody needs 20 chapter icons for 1 marine . . . )

who said i only wanted enough for one marine?

i might by a lot of them if we can (maybe for some extra cost because its for me not the project) because i am planning on making an army of them

You've not seen me try to apply transfers to my models...

same with me..............

[Wintermute]

Then I'll post a tutorial explaning how to apply decals correctly.

And not the way GW advocates which is complete nonsense.

Dear Auntie Bagger,

This is THE definitive entry thread, the others were full of people chatting on at random, so they got demoted to "discussion threads".

Also, when we register a group, and already have an idea about squad-type and organization, shall we just register with names and numbers, or also add all the details?

PM me about your ideas first so I know exactly what you're talking about, for the mean time just stick to detailing who's in the squad.

I might by a lot of them if we can (maybe for some extra cost because its for me not the project) because i am planning on making an army of them

I should then Direct you Here , Scroll down about half way down and you'll see the B&C transfers still available, I suspect this will be the case with our set.

2 Questions

1. Can a member or guilder be in a squad and have a position designated buy you

2. Can a member or guilder be in two squads?

just idle curiosity sorry if it has been asked before

2 Questions

I really don't understand this question. If you aren't in a group I'll stick you in a squad, if you are in a group let the group designate you, if you don't want to pick one for yourself, of course you could always volunteer to make a "mundane marine". Gah!

2. Can a member or guilder be in two squads?

Just idle curiosity sorry if it has been asked before

You can only submit one model, so you can only be in one squad.

If you don't ask, you won't know.

[DarkstarSabre]

This is probably an inappropriate question but hey...

Spoken to Zark yet? Just want to know if I have to prod him with a sharp stick again since 'Zark not believe in Democracy'.
