THE DARK ANGELS PAINTING CHALLENGE

THE CHALLENGE

Honored Scions of Sigismund,

Your fervor in hunting down the Witch, the Xenos and the Traitor is well known and respected among all loyal forces. But will you be able to live up to your reputation against the full might of the First Legion? Will you be able to come on top when challenged by the Sons of the Lion? This is the time prove your reputation is well deserved!

+++ACCEPT ANY CHALLENGE NO MATTER THE ODDS+++

Welcome to E TENEBRAE LUX, the Dark Angels Painting Challenge. This Challenge aims to cultivate faction loyalty and tighten the relations of members of the various forums while getting miniatures painted at the same time. E TENEBRAE LUX is structured quite differently compared to the LPC that many of you might be familiar with. It is designed to play down the inherent disadvantage of low vow-count (that some forums seem to suffer from), evening out as much as possible the chance of victory for all. It also allows for the development of strategies such as to who’s going to paint what, under the coordination of moderators or other active members of your sub-forum. Even a last minute hero might tip the balance!!!

THE RULES

1. ELIGIBLE FORUMS: This challenge involves all the sub-forums that are associated with a Codex officially released by GW. See eligible forums in the “Important Stuff” section below.

2. VOWS: Each participant MUST declare the sub-forum (and hence the Codex to be used) in his/her vow. That’s how his/her allegiance will be defined. You cannot pledge for the Blood Angels sub-forum for example and use Codex: Space Wolves units as your vow. One has to make a choice. This is different from the LPC where people can paint whatever they like and pledge it for whichever forum they like. Here it’s about faction loyalty! So make your choice and support your preferred faction to the bitter end!

3. LEGAL ENTRIES: Each vow should be a legal unit from the chosen Codex. It can be upgraded with any legal upgrades but WYSIWYG is required. An exception is made for dedicated transports that can be entered individually as if they were standalone entries in any Codex. Furthermore Special Characters that are used as squad upgrades can also be entered individually and are worth the “upgrade” points. If in doubt of whether your vow is legal or not, feel free to raise the question (publicly or through PMs) and you will receive the ruling of the Inner Circle before you commit.

4. THE TWIST: EXPANDING THE VOWS: Here is the twist: once the vow is complete, a new vow with additional units can be added but they should also be legal entries from chosen Codex as described above. This new vow must be clearly made according to the same format of the original vow. It should be stressed that the participant is liable for all the vows he makes. Failing one is failing all. So think carefully before stepping-up your commitment, if you fail on the second or subsequent vows all is lost!

5. THE WINNER: The sub-forum with the most points (as per relevant Codex) in the end of the event wins. As simple as that. Those that complete their vows successfully will get an amazing banner declaring their success in the Dark Angels Challenge while those that vowed for the winning forum will get the “Dark Angels Challenge Champions” banner that can wear with pride until the end of their days! Those that fail will be branded with the banner of shame until the year-end!

IMPORTANT STUFF

Timing of the event:

E TENEBRAE LUX opening: May 15th
Vow submission period: May 15th until June 15th at 22:00 GMT
E TENEBRAE LUX ending: August 15 at 22:00 GMT.

The format of the vow should be:

“I [insert name here] answer the challenge of the Unforgiven and vow to complete [insert unit name here] from Codex: [insert Codex name here] of total value [insert point value here] on or before August 15. Success will bring eternal glory to [insert Chapter/Legion/Warband] and failure will doom me to bear the sign of damnation until the year-end”

Eligible Forums:

• Black Templars – Codex: Black Templars
• Blood Angels – Codex: Blood Angels
• Dark Angels – Codex: Dark Angels
• Index Astartes – Codex: Space Marines
• Liber Astartes – Codex: Space Marines
• Space Wolves – Codex: Space Wolves
• Ultramarines – Codex: Space Marines
• ALL Chaos sub-forums – Codex: Chaos Space Marines OR Codex: Chaos Daemons
• Ordos Inquisition – Codex: Grey Knights OR SoBs PDF.
• Adeptus Mechanichus – IMPERIAL TITANS ONLY! (more on that in the Forgeworld section below)

Forgeworld: Forgeworld entries are legal provided it is clearly stated that the unit can be used in the chosen Codex in the 40k context. They worth the points as depicted in the relevant Forgeworld publication. The only exception here is Imperial Titans. For people that want to have a go with Imperial Titans they can legitimately do so if the vow is pledged for Adeptus Mechanicus. That’s the only non-Codex entries that are legal in this Challenge and the only vows that can be pledged on behalf of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Only two pictures are required – one in the beginning (minis unpainted or primed or in very early stages of painting) and one for the finished vow. You are of course welcome to post as many pictures as you like in your WIP thread – but just two (one at the start and one at the finish) will suffice!

This thread is the “Chapter House” for this event. All vows of this sub-forum should be posted in this very thread in order to be valid. This is also the place to declare vow completions and/or vow renewals. Finally posting your WIP thread links in your vow post will be tremendously helpful! This is a big event guys, so making life easier for me, will help avoid confusion and backs ‘n forths…

You can also use this thread to gauge the progress of your forum (I’ll update often) and compare it with other forums in their respective threads. It will also be a good place to talk to each other as how to go about it, and organize your forum effort.

I am Captain Semper and the Inner Circle has given me command of this event. I’ll be glad to answer any questions as we go along and I will keep track of all forums’ efforts. So I’m the person you need to talk to for anything regarding the procedures of this competition but Moderators still have full control of the Meltas, Flamers and Blades of Reason. And they will gladly use all of them given half a chance...

May the best forum win!

[Brother Richard]

Brothers! Last night I received a vision to expand my pledge...after much contemplation I have brought forth from the armory the strenght of my arsenal to meet the Angels challenge. Though it will require much dusting, repair, and replacement. These hollowed machines desire only to serve in just such a challenge.

I Brother Richard of the Black Templar answer the challenge of the Unforgiven and vow to complete one Master of Sanctity on a Bike, One bike squad (plus goodies) with Assualt Bike, one Predator, two Land Raiders, and two Crusaders from Codex: Black Templar of a total value 1642 pts on or before August 15.

That's great Brother Richard! However let me suggest you go for a Master of Sanctity (110pts) and if you want to add wargear, be more explicit so you'll benefit from the extra points - WYSIWYG should be upheld however (within reason obviously). :D

I guess this would be the venue for all those fully upgraded Helbrecht cmd squads :D

OK guys - in the first post there is now a table(!) that is a snapshot of the overall situation of the BT forum. Please check your vows and let me know if there is any mistakes so I can fix them - tables are a difficult bussiness to master. ;)

EDIT: My apologies, Brothers. My Righteous Zeal got the best of me and I started the two front Assault Brethren before I remembered that I needed to take the picture! I'll add more vows upon completion to repent!

P.S. BT are second on the second day... lets see where this road will lead to in the end... I may regret this...

P.P.S. Captain Semper: You are "unfair" - I guess this has been discussed on the "rock" for quite a time... in some dark corner...? ;)

 

edit P.P.P.S: No offense meant, it simply looked a bit strange having the angels put up the most points... ;)

[Captain Semper]

P.P.S. Captain Semper: You are "unfair" - I guess this has been discussed on the "rock" for quite a time... in some dark corner...? :D

 

Unfair? How so? :)

 

I know this is a lighthearted comment but I'm making a big effort here to keep everybody on even ground and frankly "fairness" is all I have on my side. This is an unprecedented event and far more complicated than it looks on paper. However if you do have a complaint by all means bring it to my attention - transparency is what drives this forward. Hence the tables where all can see each others vows and also contribute to friendly competition.

 

You are right about dark corners though (DAs are DAs after all), but those that were in those dark corners are not alllowed to participate. Me included. ;)

[The Shadow Guard]

P.P.S. Captain Semper: You are "unfair" - I guess this has been discussed on the "rock" for quite a time... in some dark corner...? ;)

 

 

Hello Lord Exedore,

 

I will back up Captain Semper here. No one bar the members of the Inner Circle and some admins of the B+C (no choice there! ;) ) were privy to the nature and intent of the contest. All other forum members were made aware at the same time.

 

If you are worried about the Dark Angels forum members preparing in secret... well, while we do like to do things in secret, we like it better when even our own chapter brothers are kept in the dark! ;) Remember circles within circles and secrets within secrets... ;) ;)

 

SG

[Captain Semper]

... we like it better when even our own chapter brothers are kept in the dark! B)

 

Hahahaha!!! True that!

 

Just to point out that BTs are doing a terrific job coming up with vows and remain true to form! This is going to be closely fought brothers!!! :D
