++ LION’S VENGEANCE – HUNTER CLASS DESTROYER OF THE CONSECRATORS CHAPTER++

+THE BRIDGE+

 

Master Enoch looked intensely at the pictogram. The skull visage of Chaplain Amadis was clearly shown on the screen.

 

- Brother-Chaplain, report!

- We are defending the perimeter Master Enoch. So far we are successful, having secured more than 1/3 of our objectives. However all this has come at a cost. Squad Baphomael is at 70% strength while Khadmiel had suffered 40% casualties as he took most the burden of close combat. In fact only the timely intervention of Oertha’s squad managed to push back the enemy and keep Khadmiel at fighting strength.

- I see…

- I’ve ordered Oertha to conserve his strength and remain stand-by for rapid counter attacks and to plug any holes in the perimeter. Things seem quiet for now but we won’t be able to resume the offensive unless reinforced. I have 7 marines that require medical attention.

- Understood Brother-Chaplain. You will be reinforced in two phases. Firstly I’m sending my Command Squad in. Sergeant Neria will report to your position in three hours and sixteen minutes. Apothecary Verchiel will aid the wounded and make them battle ready again. That will help you stabilize your perimeter defence. They will also assist Khadmiel’s squad once close quarter combat resumes.

- Understood Master, this will help consolidate…

- The second phase, Enoch interrupted, will consist of Brother Zadakiel and Brother Rhamiel! This will put you firmly to the offensive again!

- Our venerable brothers will join us in this mission? You honour us sir.

- You know full well the importance of LPC-12 Brother Chaplain! No room for laxity! However the rites of awakening will take some time. You must hold your position until then.

- Will do Master! Amadis out.-

 

The whirring and soft mechanical noises came from behind Enoch’s ears. Without turning, Enoch addressed the senior Techmarine who stood behind him.

 

- How long will it take Anon?

- The rites have already started Master Enoch, a metallic voice replied. Our Venerable Brothers will be awakening in the next two standard days.

 

Enoch turned to face the Techmarine in his enormous servo harness with the menacing mechadentrites in constant motion.

 

- Inform me when they are ready for transportation! And turning to the bridge communication officer he said: Get me in contact with Brother Zaul the Master of the 8th; I want to speak to him!

 

 

<_<

 

First off, all hail Stobz – a Hero of the Chapter, the brother that put us to 33% completions! The big guns are here people – you can all breathe now! :)

 

Just don't forget to post your completion and the link to your WIP thread here once you get the final pictures uploaded!

 

 

And now for a little spy work:

 

The BAs have officially reported just 6 completions or 10% of their vows so far. Given that last year they made 24 completions in what I can only assume were fewer than 60 vows (no data for me to compare so I’m just guessing here) we must expect that the bulk of the completions will come in the latter part of the LPC, closer to the deadline! That means that the toughest battle is still ahead of us brothers – we need to keep going!

 

 

We on the other hand have completed 1/3 of our vows so far. This is excellent progress – the best among all our “rivals”. ;) But with a month to go, the luxury of time is no more! Now is the time to push the engines to the red! We need to become relentless in our pursuit of the final goal in true Dark Angels’ style!

 

To this end we need to target the next milestone: 50% completions! This would imply a total of 26 or 9 more from the current balance! When we manage that we would have achieved the following:

 

1. Beat the UM, SW, Legio and LA subforums EVEN if they manage to complete all their vows!

2. We would beat last year’s DAs total vow completions by more than 150% (!)

3. We would beat last year’s BA total vow completions – and recall that they were the winners!!!

 

Will that be enough to win the day? I’m afraid not.

 

My feeling is that as far as BAs go, last year must have been fewer vows compared to this year (if anyone remembers exact numbers please let me know). If true that means that even assuming similar completion ratios, last year’s result would be easily beaten this year. So expect a strong finish from their end.

 

Hence I do not believe a 50% completion rate for the DAs will secure us anything. We need to strive for higher completion ratio – like 98%! :)

 

 

For the Lion and the Emperor!

 

 

 

P.S. Some may have noticed that Amadis got demoted to just Chaplain. I think it’s better for the story… :) I’ve gone back and retconned everything! Mwahahahaha!!!

Another Hero of the Chapter! MadDoc completed his vow to 100%! The 4th has now a brand new (and limited edition) Master! :tu:

 

Congratulations MadDoc - a great mini and a great log!

With 4/10 models done and the rest well begun (two are complete but for arms and backpacks, the rest at least have torsoes/legs basecoated), call me 50% done....

 

...

 

 

Dude...awesome sig, LOL! Especially appropriate for LPC...
