Captain Semper Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 OK that's all very nice and witty, but how about some completions here? You guys are doing OK so far but you need to keep a close distance to the leading forums if you are to remain in the game. BAs and Chaos are ahead of you by 600- 800pts - a couple of completions and the distance will widen in excess of 1,000pts! Not to mention the BTs that have already 4.8k points under their belt. Step up the effort and your lack of numbers won't be as much a handicap. Let the difference widen and you'll be hard pressed to catch up!

Captain Semper Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Congratulations Rayray - your huge vow have turned the tables - currently the wolves lead the ETL with more than 6k points and are 1k points ahead of the BTs that are seconds now. Even more encouraging is the hefty second vow you put there - a true hero of the Fang! Congratulations again. Table updated for your completion and your second vow!

I Stormdragon answer the challenge of the Unforgiven and vow again to complete one pack of 8 Grey Hunters (with mark of the Wulfen and power weapon) and a Wolf Guard Battle Leader (with wolf claw and combi-flamer) from Codex: Space Wolves of total value 250 on or before August 15.

Captain Semper Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 E TENEBRAE LUX – 6th WEEK UPDATE http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/DA_Challenge_vs_SW.jpg So, six weeks have come and gone and the situation has changed and changed again. Right now E TENEBRAE LUX keeps adding to its total pledged points but also completions are rising steeply! This is full blown war!!! People should remember that this is not a static event i.e. you made your and all you have to do is complete it, but rather a dynamic event where the standings can change materially from week to week and the final outcome will depend on the ability of the teams to keep going until the last day. So here’s how things look at the end of week 6: E TENEBRAE LUX – 6TH WEEK UPDATE Black Templars 74 32,226 435 7,468 23% Blood Angels 51 26,977 529 3,600 13% Dark Angels 71 38,747 546 4,910 13% Codex Space Marines 51 31,652 621 2,747 9% Space Wolves 42 28,604 681 6,393 22% Chaos 43 16,956 394 4,751 28% Ordos Inquisition 19 5,591 294 3,408 61% Total 351 180,753 515 33,277 18% Index Astartes 26 14,610 562 2,612 18% Liber Astartes 14 9,663 690 135 1% Ultramarines 11 7,379 671 0 0% Comments:The Dark Angels had a sluggish start. They are no longer leader in terms of vows and are significantly lagging in terms of completions. Right now they have a completion rate of 13% still lower than the average of the competition of 18% and significantly behind the leading forums. However they added the highest amount of points on a weekly basis showing a tendency for a comeback. Is there a new momentum building up? It’d better be… A few things the DAs still have going for them is a reasonably high average vow, and the highest total vows pledged. But rivals are not sitting idle, so the legendary single-mindedness of the Green marines must emerge.The Wolves are fun! I never thought I’d say that but there you have it. At one point they seem lagging hopelessly behind – you’d think they are written-off – the next minute a super-vow gets completed and they lead the ETL! This is how the Wolves roll in this competition so they are the most unpredictable bunch. It’s possible next week they be last and the week after first again. Although some more reasonable sized vows are trying to regulate the pace, to me it seems they are like a giant that takes too long to make a step but one he makes it he’s very far ahead! Keep it up guys – if you can keep delivering you have as good a chance to win this as any! Blood Angels deflated badly. They added the least amount of points this week compared to ALL other forums. This performance has left them in a difficult position because they do not have the pledged points that the DAs have (hence with a similar completion rates they are more than 1k points behind) nor do they have reliance on super-vows like the Wolves that could give them hope of closing the gap with a couple of completions. Guys there is no going around this – you have to get stuck in – start painting in earnest and put some serious completions behind you. To those that think “we still have time” the answer is: “so does the competition” and yet they have completed more than 20% of their pledges so far… Black Templars play the game as it should be played and they rightfully lead the show! They have a perfect mix of low/high value vows and keep production steady. With 7.5k completions and the highest number of vows (exceeding the DAs) seem to be in top form. They are currently second in total points pledged but with an average vow significantly lower than the ETL average. That means that on average, vows are manageable, do not require huge amount of time to complete and do not intimidate. This strategy works if you keep pledging new vows which the BTs tirelessly do! Keep it up guys and there’s no stopping you! Codex Forums are the worst performers in the ETL so far. If it wasn’t for one player’s super-mega-vow, the performance would have been beyond disappointing…. Thanks to Arizonajirt 2k+ completion the weekly additions resemble normality but the completion rate of only 9% speaks for itself. Get some completions done guys, and then start vowing again! I know it’s tough but the competition is ruthless at this stage and you run the risk of being left behind. There is immense potential here, don’t let it wither…Chaos has surprised positively big time. With a completion rate of 28% (!) demonstrated the commitment of the Chaos team to be a force to be reckoned with! However the low average vow and the low total points pledged means that the significantly high completion rate translates to “only” 4.7k completed points. Which frankly is not bad at all. Chaos, being Chaos, is fairly unpredictable and who knows? Now that they tasted blood they might go for it all the way! Remember as long as you complete vows your chances are as good as any. Ordos Inquisition are doing a magnificent job! At more than 60% completion rate they stand defiant in the face of the First Legion! Congratulations guys! Now can you achieve 100% completion rate on the first vow? That’ll be a feat to remember! Until the next weekly update, farewell and good luck to all!
