Excessus Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Aaaah, finally put together my five marines again after a catastrophic date with the gaming board(it seems the glue I used was extremely weak and they just fell into bits as soon as they touched the board). Stronger glue purchased and now, finally, on to the painting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 HJL, that's beautiful! Awesome work. Â Captain Semper, would it be possible to make a vow for terrain (e.g. an Aegis Defence Line)? I should have my Sternguard done this week and an Aegis set is about the only other thing I have that I can make as a third vow for Chaos once they're done.

Captain Semper Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hey Kierdale, I have been asked this question before and I'm reluctant to alter the rules at this advanced stage of the ETL. So I'm afraid the answer is no fortifications and no allies. Â EDIT: Cheers HJL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HJL Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 thanks daemonclaw. Â i spent about 3 hours on it the first day and about 4 the next, so about 7 total. I think it seems fast because most people dont 7 hours of time in 2 days to paint warhammer :P i just don't have a lot happening until school starts next week.

zyl- Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 OK this is it! I'm starting a Chaos army once the ETL is over! These are truly inspiring stuff guys! Good luck deamonclaw! I thought that's why we all played chaos in the first place. The sheer spectrum of conversion work available to us is by far the greatest, be it Fasha's idea with the bitz box and rubber cement, or a fully customized Black Legion rhino. It definately wasn't because I thought it was the codex containing the best army setup. Â On topic, I have at least a base coat on my entire prince by now, but I want to 100% it before posting my declaration of completion. I'd say mid week I'll have it done, which means it's time to think on another vow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akylas Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Pure awesome  Great Hellblade! I love the script and ghostly looking pilot.  Also, very cool conversion, daemonclaw. It's just that sort of thing that made me a fan of Chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 E TENEBRAE LUX – 8th WEEK UPDATE http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/DA_Challenge_vs_Chaos.jpg Eight weeks into the challenge and the B&C community has painted in excess of 54k pts with the last week adding 12k pts a 50% rise compared to the previous. Interestingly new vows amounted to 7.5k continuing to add to the total points vowed that now approaches the 200k pts mark! The average completion rate kept climbing to 28% from 22% in the end of Week 7 while the value of the average vow was moderately trimmed to 500 pts from 512 pts the previous week. Next week we are going to be 2/3 into the competition. Things are getting serious, and frankly time is now an issue! So finish up your current projects and look around to see what else can you do for your faction! Just finishing your initial vow won’t be enough...So here’s how things look at the end of week 8: E TENEBRAE LUX – 8TH WEEK UPDATE Black Templars 86 36,246 421 10,109 28% Blood Angels 54 27,737 514 6,095 22% Dark Angels 79 40,267 510 7,980 20% Codex Space Marines 54 33,487 620 7,795 23% Space Wolves 47 32,017 681 9,788 31% Chaos 51 20,197 396 8,250 41% Ordos Inquisition 21 5,921 282 4,008 68% Total 392 195,872 500 54,025 28% Index Astartes 28 16,255 581 6,085 37% Liber Astartes 14 9,663 690 825 9% Ultramarines 12 7,569 631 885 12% Comments:The Dark Angels Recovered some momentum and raised their completion ratio to 20% - still lower than the average of 28%. However the 20% completion rate correspond to almost 8k pts which puts the leading forums within their sight! What they need now is a couple of really large vows (1k+) complemented with an array of smaller vows before we enter the last month of the E TENEBRAE LUX. Not that difficult in principle since we already have a good 2 months behind us. Frankly the more completions we get this week the more our hands will be freed to paint small but point-rich vows as we approach the finishing line. Guys, we really need some really big vow done this week...The Wolves. One might thought that fatigue would have crept in by now but one would be wrong! The Wolves delivered a strong 1.8k of new completions this week securing second position with only some 300 pts behind the BTs that still lead the ETL. Furhtermore they have pledged another 1.8k pts of new vows declaring their strong commitment to win this! Their Completion rate is unavoidably higher than average though at 31%. Not that much I hear you say... Well, given the small amount of participants, the average pts/ participant is by far the highest in the competition at 890 pts (!) Good luck – that’s all I have to say. You’ve made it thus far, can you keep up for the next month? As I said before, if not the Wolves then who? Blood Angels with 1.2k pts completed this week, their overall performance should be considered anemic at best. The BAs have a decent amount of participants and a decent mix of high/low value vows… So what is going on? Procrastination is going on. Taranis is a shining example among the Angels of Blood, pledging his 5th vow already but really guys this week should be very productive for you to get back into the game. Remember: Completing your first vow on time might not be enough! Your 22% completion rate may seem OK at face value but you’re kind of left behind in total points pledged. And the only way to increase that is to vow again – which is only possible if you get some completions underway! Right now you are last – the worst performing forum (excluding the Ordos that are somewhat special). Would you let that pass?Black Templars completed roughly the same amount of points as last week and retain first position. However, the strong performance by other forums narrowed the gap significantly, with the Wolves being only 300 pts behind! One might say that the Templars suffer from fatigue but the addition of 6 more vows worth 2.3k (their weekly completions were 1.3k) underlines that the commitment still burns in their souls! They are the first forum to cross the 10k level of completions and still seem the favorite to win. A word of caution: you need to get some high pts vows done from your First Vows stock because the Wolves have tons of points coming your way... The odd Marshall or Emperor’s Champion won’t save the day for you. Bring in the big guns!Codex Forums seem to getting mobilized. Some more completions from the IA, LA and UM forums this week which is good news. However 68% of the completed points come from one person: Arizonajirt who 1) can’t win this on his own, and 2) he’s done with super vows (after three consecutive ones!). So it’s time to assume responsibility and start delivering large, medium and small vows to fill the gaps before things are irreversible. Because on paper they are not. You still have the completions to keep you in the game (compliments of Arizona) and you can challenge the first position – all you have to do is keep painting! Chaos has an exceptional performance! Although only 530 pts added this week and a very high completion rate of 41% the Chaos faction is keeping 3rd position! However the gap with DAs that have 4th narrows and although Chaos makes new vows these are not large enough to create confidence that they’ll defend their position successfully. Their average vow dropped (!) this week to below 400 that compares unfavorably with the 500 pts average of the ETL. So as was the case in the previous week, you guys got to lower your completion rate while increasing completions – i.e. increase your denominator more rapidly than you increase your numerator... Good luck with that!Ordos Inquisition moved their completion rate from 61% to 68%! The completion rate of their first vows is 74%!! If those percentages were even remotely approached by any other forum… well you do the math! Keep going guys you’re doing an honorable and inspiring effort here! Until the next weekly update, farewell and good luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Guys that's fantastic! You know what? CHAOS IS NOW LEADING THE ETL!!! :) It's true - well done! Â @ Steve: you've painted so far stuff that others (me included) will take years to paint! Bravo! Now regarding your new vow, make sure you represent the iron hide somehow. Add metallic to your paint job would be enough but it's up to you - I just need to see justigfication to award the points. Also (since I'm on holdays and therefore away from my personal black library) could you remind me what is the deathstrike? Remember only items that can be physically represnted somehow wiil earn you points. Â @ zyl-: This is some Slaaneshi Deamon Prince alright! ;) Good luck with your termies - judging from your work so far, I just can't wait! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
