Captain Semper Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Congratulations Polythemus - well done! Another 300pts for the 1st Legion - we sure gain momentum here! Keep it up guys! Now I have updated everything to this point. Please cross check that your vows / completions/ point values are correctly updated - after a weekend that I did no updating the risk for a mistake increases materially! :mellow: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252368-e-tenebrae-lux/page/16/#findComment-3129475 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Wow, look at all those completions coming up! Well done Flint - excellent work with the speeders and the dread! Really love the red on the missiles! :D Do not vow again unless you're absolutely sure you'll make it and finish it your usual standards! So play safe! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252368-e-tenebrae-lux/page/16/#findComment-3129504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaM_TW Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Dont worry; I'll time myself on a proxy-terminator and see if it can be done like I want, in a decent amount of time... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252368-e-tenebrae-lux/page/16/#findComment-3129556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'm happy to report completion of my ETL vow. 855 points of Dark Angel goodness consisting of: Tac squad: Sgt with power sword and plasma pistol, marine with missile launcher, marine with flamer, 7 marines with bolters, and a rhino with extra armour Tac squad: Sgt with power fist, marine with plasma cannon, marine with plasma gun, 7 marines with bolters, and a rhino Dev squad: Sgt with power maul, 2 marines with missile launchers, 2 marines with las-cannons, 5 marines with bolters, and a rhino). Progress and photos are in my 3rd Company and ETL Thread A couple of days rest and I'll revow for an interrogator chaplain with jump pack which hopefully should take me over 1k in total points. Phew!!!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252368-e-tenebrae-lux/page/16/#findComment-3130207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucAvieux Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Pleased to report a completed vow. Thread containing the vow here. I'm not sure on my second vow. It will be no more than one model and I have little hope my Azrael model will make it in time. I might dig up a chaplain in TDA. I will get back to you about that in due time.

Captain Semper Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Well this is great <_< The DAs are striking back with alarming ferocity! Momentum has built up for sure and some very nice completions are coming our way. Now guys think carefully of your next vows and above all play safe. Vow again onlywhen you're confident of completion because the deadline is closing fast! Congratulations to both Louis and DucAvieux for making it in time for the weekly update. Any more? Update will be in a few hours... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252368-e-tenebrae-lux/page/16/#findComment-3130458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 E TENEBRAE LUX – 10th WEEK UPDATE http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/DA_Challenge_vs_DA.jpg This was a more subdued week with completions at the 8.8k mark. The characteristics of this week were the further increase of the average completion rate to 36% from 32% last week that corresponds to 76k points(!) and the still hefty (although diminishing) amount of 6.7k worth of new vows. The total points pledged so far stand at almost 214k. A point of particular interest is that this is the fist week since the beginning of the ETL that the Space Wolves did not report a completion! So week 10 is now behind us and just three more weeks to go! Plan your next steps carefully, because an unfinished vow could have multiplying effect as it will nullify all previous work too. If you are uncertain of your time, or your next vow depends on the speed of the postal agencies I say play it safe and be conservative! In the end is imminent! Now I would like to repeat some technicalities about the closing that I mentioned last week because they are important: 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 19th at the latest so 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 10: E TENEBRAE LUX – 10TH WEEK UPDATE Black Templars 102 41,811 410 18,255 44% Blood Angels 64 31,778 497 9,011 28% Dark Angels 86 43,057 501 10,815 25% Codex Space Marines 56 33,792 603 9,210 27% Space Wolves 48 32,637 680 11,160 34% Chaos 56 24,476 437 13,106 54% Ordos Inquisition 22 6,196 282 4,548 73% Total 434 213,747 493 76,105 36% Index Astartes 29 16,405 566 6,775 41% Liber Astartes 15 9,818 655 1,550 16% Ultramarines 12 7,569 631 885 12% Comments:The Dark Angels have still the lowest completion rate at 25% but are gaining significant momentum. They will still need some large vow completions to propel their position forward but things are promising. If the momentum builds up further we are looking at a magnificent turn around that will send shock waves across all forums! With 2.5k completed this week and some indications of even better performance next week I think we’re in the right path! So with 10.8k pts (less than 400pts behind the Wolves) but still in the 4th position, do we have what it takes to turn this around? The Wolves did not report a completion for the fist time since the beginning of the ETL! Wow. What could that mean? Out of steam? Fatigue? Or just coincidence and next week we’ll see two weeks’ worth of completions? Truth being said with an average burden of more than 900pts per participant they have put themselves in a very challenging position. Still they manage to maintain 3rd position with no completions! But now the distance to the second position has increased by 2k. In all fairness, the Wolves should aim at completion rates well into the 40s to shake up things – difficult but achievable!Blood Angels have managed to make some completions to keep them in the game, surpassing the 9k mark. However the relatively small points/vow ratio means that their completion rate should be much higher than average and at the moment is almost 10 percentage points lower. In principle they should be going the Chaos way, i.e. having among the highest completion rates to make up for their low points. As things stand now, they’ll require above 55% completion rate to beat the Templars. Difficult? Yes! Impossible? No! Just look at Chaos! Black Templars seem unstoppable! At a record 18k worth of completions and a 44% completion rate they have put enough distance between them and the rest of the forums to feel relatively safe. Despite their leading position, despite their considerable difference with the rest, they still reported the largest amount of completions this week at 2.6k! Frankly, they DO look like the favorites to win the ETL as they still have a large pool of incomplete vows to draw from. So let’s see as the sands of time draw all of us to the inevitable end, will they manage to maintain their position and become the heroes of E TENEBRAE LUX? Let’s see…Codex Forums are definitely responding to the challenge adding more the 0.5k points this week. Although they have 9.2k pts completed so far (more than the BAs) the certainly need to do more. There are some very serious vows out there with tons of points and I believe (hope) that after 10 weeks some of them will be nearing completion. You guys really need to start putting some serious pts forward. To put it simply, you need the samet amount of points that you’ve completed so far just to reach the BTs current levels. Or something in the order of 55% completion rate. Good luck! Chaos is second overall with more than 13k completed pts and a monstrous 54% completion rate. They do not have a high number of participants. They do not have a high number of total points pledged. What they do have is the tenacity and the drive to complete their vows consistently. Of course they have the Dark Pantheon to aid them but still! An excellent performance guys (and gals) keep it up! Ordos Inquisition did not report any completions this week. They’ve done it before but with a completion rate of 73% this seems normal to me. It’ll be great to see you guys driving for a cool 100% but no rush – none has shown the kind of commitment you have! Until the next weekly update, farewell and good luck to all!

Captain Semper Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Did I say momentum was building up? That was an understatement! THREE completions in quick succession, one super vow, one second vow and one third vow! Well done guys - you pushed the DAs to 3rd position (ahead of the Wolves) and only 600 pts behind Chaos that are currently second! This is great, if we keep up this rates we are still very much in the game! We are still 6k pts behind the BTs but our completion rate is only 29% vs. 45% of theirs. So while fatigue will be kreeping up the BTs ranks we still have our momentum going - get ready for an amazing finish! ^_^ Again congratulations guys!

I should get the normal dudes done by Sunday then only basing and PF to do next week once I'm home.

Captain Semper Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 That's the spirit guys! Two more completions with almost another 1k pts added to our total! We are now marginally second - but Chaos (which is only 200 pts behind) has a completion rate of 54%! We certainly have the advantage here! Still we are 5.5k pts behind the BTs - do you think we can turn the tables? hahahaha! Congratulations to both PyroX and Paul for their completions - love the old style LRs, but who doesn't!

Master Ciaphas Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hail! Just a quick update from me, so that my most honoured brethren do not think me idle! I have completed the promised Land Speeder Typhoon and the Drop Pod. The Rhino is about half done and Master Sammael is still in the box. A slight bit more than two weeks left, and I am still optimistic :-) And here are the two finished pieces: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Master_Ciaphas/Malenhandske-juli005-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Master_Ciaphas/Malenhandske-juli006-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Master_Ciaphas/Malenhandske-juli007-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Master_Ciaphas/Malenhandske-juli009.jpg Best, Master Ciaphas Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252368-e-tenebrae-lux/page/16/#findComment-3133544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bringer of Redemption Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Well, I've decided to go ahead with a small second vow. I vow to paint before the end of the contest both Ezekiel, Grand Master of Librarians, and Interrogator-Chaplain Asmodai (counting as a plain IC) for a total of 290 points. --BoR Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252368-e-tenebrae-lux/page/16/#findComment-3133648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have the before pics too! :) @ Bringer of Redemption: You are a brave one! I sure hope to complete it because you're worth quite a few points for the DAs cause... Good luck!
