Now for Vow 3,

 

I, Brother Tancred, answer the challenge of the Unforgiven and vow to complete a Vindicator from Codex: Dark Angels of total value 130 points on or before August 15. Success will bring eternal glory to the Dark Angels Chapter of the 1st Legion and failure will doom me to bear the sign of damnation until the year-end.

 

Cheers,

Brother Tancred

E TENEBRAE LUX – 9th WEEK UPDATE







This was an excellent week. First of all the total vows pledged for the ETL breached the 200k mark! This is some commitment guys – I’m very happy that the event has such a high involvement. Another interesting feature is that the total vows are now north of 420!!! So despite the 40k 6th Ed. release that unavoidably (and rightly) took much of the attention of the gaming community, the ETL continues strong. Total completions stand at 67k points or 32% of total points pledged. So we are 2/3 down in terms of time and 1/3 down in terms of completions. I believe the completion rate in this last month will climb significantly as new vows will either be moderate in size (as to avoid being left unfinished) or will not be made at all. Interestingly in a week where completions exceeded 13.2k (the highest amount of completions since week 6) the new vows pledged exceeded 11k! Wow!

So two months into it already. Two months come and gone. We are now effectively entering the last month of the event and the stakes are high. Remember: IF BY AUGUST 15TH ANY PARTICIPANT HAS UNFINISHED VOWS THEN ALL HIS/HER PREVIOUS VOWS WILL BE NULLIFIED AND WILL COUNT FOR NOTHING. So make sure you finish up your outstanding projects thus protecting your previous effort!

Now some technicalities about the closing:

On August 15th at 22:00 GMT the ETL ends. That means that by the B&C clock any completions that are submitted after that time will not count towards the total points of your faction. Please make everybody’s life easier and avoid submitting in the nick of time – a discarded completion for just a minute could create unnecessary aggravation and leave people with a sour taste from what should be an enjoyable event. I plan to enforce the firm deadline so yes, 22:01 submissions will be discarded.

The final results will be announced on Sunday, August 19thso I will have time to process all the results, double check everything and present them in an esthetically pleasing manner. This is a big event guys so I will need some time to make sure things are in order. Just a small request: The logistics of ETL are very demanding, so if you guys cross check your status in the tables occasionally and find something that doesn’t match please bring it to my attention so I’ll act on it.

So here’s how things look at the end of week 9:

E TENEBRAE LUX – 9TH WEEK UPDATE
Black Templars 98 40,123 409 15,633 39%
Blood Angels 62 29,533 476 7,741 26%
Dark Angels 82 41,872 511 8,490 20%
Codex Space Marines 56 33,792 603 8,665 26%
Space Wolves 48 32,637 680 11,160 34%
Chaos 54 22,892 424 11,041 48%
Ordos Inquisition 22 6,196 282 4,548 73%
Total 422 207,045 491 67,278 32%
Index Astartes 29 16,405 566 6,385 39%

Ultramarines 12 7,569 631 885 12%


Comments:

The Dark Angels have the lowest completion rate at 20%. Although at face value this might look as a bad thing it also means that there is huge potential in the coming month to flood the ETL with completions driving completion rate towards the average and gaining significant momentum towards the finish line. The opposite of course is also possible so now guys is the moment of truth: Can the DAs see this through and emerge victorious? We’ll see…

The Wolves with 1/3 of their vowed points done, which translates to more than 11k pts, they are now second. However they do have some mega vows in the making and I’m sure they have not said their last word yet. The important thing here is tenacity. You guys really have to fight against fatigue and keep delivering because this is it: Just one month to go and you’ve done admirably well so far! Keep it up!

Blood Angels are struggling to keep up despite some serious completions this week. They have the lowest score so far (except the Ordos) at 7.7k pts despite having more than ¼ of their vowed points done. However there is the same principle as with the DAs here: the last month could see a sharp convergence to the ETL average completion rate thus having significant upping to their points’ total. Nevertheless this’d better start soon because time is now the primary parameter. Just to put things to perspective, in order to get to the BTs level of completed points the BAs should aim to convincingly beat the 50% completion rate. Good luck!

Black Templars had the best week any forum had since the beginning of the ETL. They completed in excess of 5.5k pts solidifying their lead at more than 15.5k completed pts so far. Furthermore they re-vowed 3.8k pts which means they still are intent of growing this sum even more. Their completion rate approaches 40% beating the average of the ETL, leading the way to the finish line. Is there anyone that can stand in their way? Let’s see.

Codex Forums added 860 pts to their total and it appears that it’s getting its engines started. With Arizona’s contribution reaching an end, it’s up to the rest to carry on delivering. Some of the work I’ve seen is exquisite so I believe the wait is worth it! Keep in mind guys there is only one month to go! Lets see if you can turn this around – you have the resources to do it – and with more than ¼ of your total vowed pts done you have a very good starting point. Just double it and you might be leading this!

Chaos carried on its great performance driving their completion rate even higher to 48% and total completed pts to above 11k! Wow! Well done – nothing more to say! The 2.8k completions this week were replenished with another 2.7k new vows, so the drive is still very strong. And still there are some seriously large vows in the pipeline that could (if supported by smaller vows as is the case so far) turn the game to their advantage. It appears the Dark Gods are looking favorably to their champions!

Ordos Inquisition continue to drive their completion rate higher reaching a record of 73%! The commitment that this group is showing coupled by some seriously nice models (not to mention RedemptionNL’s LR with real lights!!!!) is awe inspiring! Continue the Emperor’s good work guys – you are setting the standards on commitment!


Until the next weekly update, farewell and good luck to all!

Deathwing squad complete!

I may make a new vow... I'll let you know this weekend. (or maybe earlier if I get froggy!)

 

Respectfully,

--Unforgiven

Wow, those are some pretty Terminators!

 

Vow 2:

 

I SnaRf.za answer the challenge of the Unforgiven and vow to complete 1 Ravenwing attack squad consisting of 3 bikes and 1 attack bike from Codex: Dark Angels of total value 220 points on or before August 15.

Success will bring eternal glory and failure will doom me to bear the sign of damnation until the year-end

Sorry, SnaRf.za, your entry should be legal units... As far as I recall attack bikes can only be upgrades in a RW squadron. Before I update the table, you have to either edit it out or add the appropriate amonut of bikes in your vow.

I have the honour to announce to my brothers that my ETL part 3 is now complete

More pictures on my DA and WIP threads.

 

Now to get on with part 4

Command Squad (210 pts)

Company Champion: Combat Shield; Bolt Pistol; Power Weapon

Bolt Pistol (x3); Chainsword (x2); Plasma Pistol (x1); Power Fist (x1); Power Weapon (x1);

Melta Bombs (x5)

 

 

 

For the Lion

Before I update the table, you have to either edit it out or add the appropriate amonut of bikes in your vow.

 

I will put the Land Raider on the wish list for now.

I have edited my entry to make it legal.

 

 

Yeap - looks fine to me. Am I right to assume PF for the sergeant, and plasma /melta for the other two?

 

Unfortunately due to a technicality from my end I won't be updating the tables until Monday... <_<

Vow Secundus!

 

My second vow: Belial

 

“I Unforgiven2544 answer the challenge of the Unforgiven and vow to complete Grand Master Belial from Codex: Dark Angels of total value 130 points on or before August 15. Success will bring eternal glory to Dark Angels and failure will doom me to bear the sign of damnation until the year-end”

Nickels and dimes... I know... but any little bit helps, right?

 

Respectfully,

--Unforgiven

Going for Vow #3!

 

I, Pbenner, as my Third vow, will be painting:

 

(1) 5 man Terminator Squad with, 2x Thunderhammer and Stormsheild, and 3x Lightning Claws with (1) Cyclone Missile Launcher - 235pts (Pictured in the first post in my thread)

(1) 5 man Terminator Squad with, 2x Thunderhammer and Stormsheild, and 3x Stormbolter and Chainfist - 250pts (pictured primed in the post with this Vow of my thread!)

 

I vow to complete the paint jobs on these models before August 15th or I will bear the banner of shame until at which point Captain Semper release me. For the Glory and Honor of The Lion!

Excellent skink! Another 270 pts for the First Legion! I suggest you lay back and watch the finish of the ETL - you've done more than your fair share. The risk now is just too high.

 

Well done - I'll update the table in 10 hours or so... ;)
