Captain Semper Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Those completions are important for keeping the momentum going - but the weekly update will be upon us in a few hours and things do not look good...

Captain Semper Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 E TENEBRAE LUX – 12th WEEK UPDATE http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/DA_Challenge_vs_DA.jpg So Week 12 has drawn to an end. With almost 110k worth of completed points and an increased completion rate of 48.1% vs. 42.5 last week the ETL is now set for its final week! Week 11 was a fairly busy one with more some 15.8k pts completed in total and a sizeable 8.6k pts of new vows added still! This raises the total amount of points pledged in the ETL to an astounding 228k pts! Now this is the last week. THE LAST WEEK. Wrap it up guys – do not do anything to jeopardize your existing work and those that have still outstanding vows (especially those that are in their second or subsequent vow) focus of completing to preserve all your previous effort! +++EXTEREMELY IMPORTANT STUFF+++-This is the last weekly update. I will however keep updating the tables until the event’s official conclusion. On August 15th @ 22:00 GMT is the official end of the ETL. Please, PLEASE do not let things run to the last minute if possible. Missing the deadline for a minute will be a big let down and could leave a bitter taste to the participant in question – which will be a pity. Make no mistake I will enforce a strict deadline on the event. Completions reported at 22:01 GMT WILL NOT COUNT. In case of doubt the clock that matters is the B&C clock set to GMT time. (Remember GMT time does not change from winter to summer time so even London has an hour difference to GMT during the summer months).-Check out the tables to ensure your vows/completions are recorded correctly. I’m willing to examine any objections but that has to be done no later than August 16th. So any objections that have not been voiced by then (the next day of the ETL’s completion) WILL NOT BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT! Needless to say, the earliest one raises an objection the sooner the final report will get out. Which brings us nicely to…-THE FINAL REPORT!!! This is going to be full of data about the event as a whole, each forum’s performance and of course detailed lists of those that completed or failed to complete their vows. The “Victory Banners” will also be presented and the participants will be able to don the appropriate banner that will also represent the number of their completions.-For those that failed to fulfill a vow, even if it was the last in a series of successful completions, you should wear the Badge of Shame until year-end (or more if you feel the penitence period should be extended). So behold the Badge of Shame: http://www.fortressoftheunforgiven.com/ETL_02_Oathbreaker.jpgSo now for the usual update for Week 12 in more detail: E TENEBRAE LUX – 12TH WEEK UPDATE Black Templars 127 48,573 382 28,215 58% Blood Angels 65 31,973 492 11,451 36% Dark Angels 97 45,152 465 17,680 39% Codex Space Marines 58 34,082 588 11,195 33% Space Wolves 56 36,592 653 20,416 56% Chaos 60 25,794 430 15,955 62% Ordos Inquisition 23 6,226 271 4,938 79% Total 486 228,392 470 109,850 48% Index Astartes 31 16,695 539 8,355 50% Liber Astartes 15 9,818 655 1,695 17% Ultramarines 12 7,569 631 1,145 15% Comments:The Dark Angels managed to complete a 1.3k pts but the sad truth is that’s nowhere near enough... They are now in third position with a clear distance not only from the Templars but also the Wolves that are now clearly second. The only thing that can change that, is if the big guns appear. The DAs have a lack (comparably speaking) of the super-vow completions (i.e. vows above 1k pts). Unless these guys show up I can’t see the situation reversing... Let’s face it 38% completion rate in a 50%+ world is just not enough!The Wolves had their best week todate – even better than Week 11! With 5k pts worth of completions they are now north of 20k in total and firmly second with a clear distance of 2.7k from the Dark Angels. However they are still some 7.8k behind the Templars. This means that not only they need to complete their sizeable new vows (at 2.7k they still added less than the Templars this week) but most importantly get those that have yet to complete their first vows mobilized! Unless they give everything they have (first and subsequent vows) they will not be able to challenge the Templars for top position. All in all Week 12 can be called the Week of the Wolf! Congratulations guys – I have the feeling that more is yet to come!Blood Angels seem to get some mobilization late in the game. Still they may manage to end better than the Codex forums – especially as interest in the last days seems to be resurfacing. They have completed 1.6pts this week which, although not spectacular, is better than the DAs for example. Again the main objective here should be to get first vows completed rather than risk the pts of those that already have completions in their records. This is it guys – the last week. Make every point count! Black Templars have not relaxed a single bit – and rightly so it seems, Wolves with the that close behind you. The Templars had the most completions this week exceeding 5.2k pts. With their completion rate approaching 60% and adding the most new vows even in the 11th hour they have a momentum unmatched by any other forum. As the final week starts it seems they are the favorites to win this – and rightly so. They continued delivering sizeable completions throughout the ETL now, it seems, it’s time to collect! Or is it? Codex Forums seem to be completely out of steam. Despite some declarations of progress no solid results have been coming their way. Although the painting quality is generally of very high standard it seems their completion rate is currently the worse. So is the last position what you guys are shooting for? Because that’s where you’ll be come the 15th UNLESS you start delivering some results. All three sub-forums of your faction had a very silent week, with the UMs saving some of the honor with an, admittedly beautiful, but small vow points-wise. This is the time to rise again and give your rivals a nasty surprise – a last hurrah! Chaos is fighting the long war here and with more success than Abbadon may I add! They are 4th but with a completion rate of above 60% they can be really proud of themselves! More importantly they are only 1.7k pts behind the DAs! Hmmm… How’s that for a challenge? Regardless the Chaos faction is in a really good shape with some committed individuals still very much in the game – let’s see how this palys out! Remember, if you paint the points, you will win – as simple as that! Ordos Inquisition have a completion rate of 79%. CAN YOU MAKE IT 80%? This would be an awesome way to show to all who’s the most committed forum!!!So until the FINAL REPORT, farewell and good luck to all!

Louis Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 *face-palm Well I feel like a :( ing idiot, just finished getting the first layer of colour on my Angel of Redemption Master and discoved I'd put the green/bone on the wrong sides...gaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!! What's the plan Grotsmasha, are you going go for a different successor and leave as is, add some fluff about this Master reversing the scheme (as a mark of shame maybe?), or try and correct the error? Best of luck with whatever you opt for! Next on my painting bench is a break from the Third Company, it is a nice Relic Contemptor with a pair of Kheres Assault cannons. I'm going to get this done before the weekend, and to make sure I do: I Louis answer the challenge of the Unforgiven and vow to complete a Relic Contemptor pattern Dread with a pair of Kheres Assault Cannon from Codex: Dark Angels of total value 180 points on or before August 15. Success will bring eternal glory to the Dark Angels and failure will doom me to bear the sign of damnation until the year-end. That is if it is ok to include a Forgeworld model?

Grotsmasha Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 @ Louis: Repaint, I've already re-base coated the colours correctly, but instead of finishing them tomorrow (Thurs) it'll be more like Friday arvo now, meaning its more likely for a single mini 6th vow. Cheers, Jono Actually, if I skimp, I could do AoV's, which are plain black, leaving plenty of time for a double, maybe a triple? Depends on all those back-banners I guess...

Gillyfish Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Land Raider and scouts are coming along. It'll be tight, but they're nearly there. Scouts need bases and boltgun details doing, plus the eyes. They are otherwise finished. The Land Raider needs to have the tracks, guns and doors stuck on (I'm painting them separately). All iconography needs a little more in the way of painting, including lenses, FW doors, purity seals etc. But the tracks are painted, as is the hull. Weapons need a highlight for the black parts, but they are otherwise complete. Gold still hasn't been done. So coming along, but still a bit to do.

Louis Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Finished up my Contemptor last night, although I can't get to a camera until Sunday as I'm away from home for the next few days. Not sure if I can re-vow before posting the completion pic for the Contemptor, if I can then I brought paints and an extra model away with me... A Venerable Dread with Twin-Linked Las-Cannons and Missile Launcher, 175 points of DA goodness :) So if I can then I'll vow to complete the Venerable Dread for my 4th vow.

Captain Semper Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Sorry Louis, you have to post both the "after" pic of the finished vow and the "before" pic of the new vow... I'm willing to update the table with your Contemptor completion on condition you will post "after" pics soon but I cannot accept the new vow just yet. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252368-e-tenebrae-lux/page/19/#findComment-3145825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Captain Sharp Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 You should amend that Chaplain to an Interrogator-Chaplain on bike. Easy way to pick up 25 points.

pueriexdeus Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 You should amend that Chaplain to an Interrogator-Chaplain on bike. Easy way to pick up 25 points. Thank you for the intel. I do however always cost out my Chappies as the Interrogator type. Being a particular type of person, I have the never used a Chappi without the Int designation, so to me their is no other Chaplain except an Interrogator, unfortunately I just call them "Chappies". So my 150 points per "Chappi" stands And you right I should be more specific in the 40K universe.

Captain Semper Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 That's fantastic Pueri, your completion was badly needed - as is your next vow! Just a point I'd like to clear regarding the points value of your first vow. Originally you pledged 770 - now you are reporting 670. I assume the 670 is correct but let me know if there is a typo...

The Shadow Guard Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Well done Puriexdeus, much needed points and a balm to salve Captain Semper's anxiety!!! ;) May I suggest that you give both your sergeant's plasmapistols (replacing bol pistols) and meltabombs for an additional 80 points in total all you need to do is stick a PP and an MB on the side of the bike in stowage. Dat's wo I did... er..am doing... ;) Well done on the brave new pledge..The Lion will be watching!
