Vorganov Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Right, you said 6 Fallen (CSM) and an Aspiring Champion. I counted 6 CSM and an Aspiring Champion (plus some other CSM to boot - brill btw :devil: ). What is the problem? Don't they add up to the total that you promised? I'm accepting your completion - it is not clear to me what the problem is... If there is a problem with the points let me know. Yeah the overall points and number of models is OK, the problem is, that I included model where there is no "prove" i finished it during my vow... I am to honorary overzealous :-D Thanks. I have hoped I will have time to add some new units to vow, but unfortunately dont have the time...

Jay Taint Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I've been kind of lucky with job hunting. Also, I'll fight a small-scale escalation tournament at my local gaming group. Everything's got to be painted WYSIWYG, and I'll take the chance to finish a couple of projects. There's a simple Rhino with havoc launcher that was assembled after May 15 on my bench. I'm close to finish and thus I vow it. (I'll also finish 4 havocs, 2 with autocannons, that'll go with the Rhino. But they don't form a legal unit so I can't vow them -- right?) Long story short: I vow a Rhino with havoc launcher! It's worth some meager 50 points only. But it's more than nothing, and I can't offer more ATM. I'll post assembly and finish pictures in time.

Cheers, JT Hmmm... At the time of making a vow minis should be unpainted or primed or in very early stages of painting as it mentions in the rules. So if you have already started (and are close to finish) the Rhino it's not a legal entry. If you mean you are close to finish your other stuff and therefore have time to vow for the Rhino or if I misunderstood what you said in any other way, please clarify.

Jay Taint Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Sorry, Captain, At the time of making a vow minis should be unpainted or primed or in very early stages of painting as it mentions in the rules. you got me right and I got the rules wrong. The model was unprimed/-painted on May 15, but it has been painted (and almost finished) at the time of my vow. I got that wrong and I'm sorry for that. I didn't mean to cheat.

Captain Semper Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 @ Sword Brethern: these are some fantastic minis there mate -well done (more so considering the rough time you've been trough)! I work out your ammended vow to be 400 pts - let me know if you calculate a different number. Once more, well done! :yes: @ Jay Taint: You didn't cheat and you didn't mean to cheat either! I know because you told me of your situation up front. It was a matter of rules clarification which is now done. In any case, do paint the rhino anyway as an out-of-competition item (i.e. no points awarded for it) but let us have a look at it! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252375-e-tenebrae-lux/page/17/#findComment-3135625 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 E TENEBRAE LUX – 11th WEEK UPDATE http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/DA_Challenge_vs_Chaos.jpg Week 11 is over. This has been the most productive week so far (and by far) with total completions at almost 18k pts! Total completion rate increased to 42.5% vs. 35.6% last week and total completions reached 94k pts! Predictably the new vows stood at 6k which means that risk appetite is diminishing as the ETL approaches its conclusion. The total pledged points reached the 220k level!I would like to draw everybody’s attention to WLKs 4k pts completion – the largest single vow in the ETL! And on top of that he re-vowed for another 1k+ pts! Way to go WLK – well done! Only two weeks remaining until the conclusion. There will be another update on August 7th but I will not make an update on August 14th as it will be only one day before the end of the event. I will strive to give you guys the final results as soon as possible after the 15th but, just to play it safe, I would like to set a self-imposed deadline on Sunday August 19th. It will probably be sooner. Now a few points I’d like to make:- 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. - The concluding report that will follow the completion of the ETL will have a lot of data and statistics for the event in total and per forum. It will also have detailed lists of all the participants, the completed vows and points completed per participant! I also am willing to give out other information that might be requested on a case by case basis. One of the major aims of the ETL was transparency, and I intend to serve this aim to the end! - In case you fail to fulfill a vow, even if it is your 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 if you feel you can do without this banner in your signature, get cracking! If on the other hand you are sure you won’t make it, be my guest and put it on right away… - Now I can also reveal some details regarding the banners for the victors. These are the banners to be worn by those that completed successfully ALL their vows. Why am I using plural for the “banners”? Because the banners will have an indication that will correspond to the number of completed vows for each participant! This would be subtle but clearly visible feature! I believe it will make for a great account of the ETL and people will wear it with pride! - Also the winning faction will be getting an “add-on” banner commemorating their victory that will be designed to be placed next to the victory banner with no space between them so it will look as one. So the participants of the winning forum will retain their “victory” banner along with the vow-count feature (like everybody else) but will also get another banner to commemorate their dominance in the ETL! - Lastly, you may have noticed the new banner in my signature. This is my personal banner in relation to the ETL – It has nothing to do with the Winning or the Champion banners – so don’t get any ideas! :) So here’s how things look at the end of Week 11 in more detail: E TENEBRAE LUX – 11TH WEEK UPDATE Black Templars 113 45,254 400 22,984 51% Blood Angels 65 31,953 492 9,861 31% Dark Angels 91 43,877 482 16,365 37% Codex Space Marines 58 34,082 588 10,935 32% Space Wolves 50 33,917 678 15,459 46% Chaos 57 24,504 430 13,941 57% Ordos Inquisition 22 6,196 282 4,548 73% Total 456 219,783 482 94,093 43% Index Astartes 31 16,695 539 8,355 50% Liber Astartes 15 9,818 655 1,695 17% Ultramarines 12 7,569 631 885 12% Comments:The Dark Angels are getting their actr together and have managed to complete the most points compared to any other forum this week. This momentum that started building up since the previous week certainly delivers results as completion rate jumped to 37% from 25% the previous week. However, as the opposition was not idle either, the average completion rate of the ETL also increased leaving the DAs again to below average levels. That also can be interpreted that the DAs could more easily repeat this week’s performance compared to other forums that are gradually reaching their limits. The key to the DAs plan for victory now is for the big tickets to weigh in. There are a few mega-vows that are running for 11 weeks now – undoubtedly some of them are nearing completion. The momentum has been regained – all that’s left now is carry one and complete the vows! The Wolves managed to get back in the game dynamically with a large number of completed points including the largest single vow in the ETL: WLK’s 4k Mega Vow. But he was not alone. After a sluggish Wek 10, the wolves are back in business having the second largest amount of completions this week. But now the situation is dire! Given the weight of the average vow the burden now falls on those 2nd and subsequent vows, the completions of which serve two purposes: 1) validating the previous precious completions (losing them would mean defeat) and 2) adding the new point-rich vows (that are necessary for victory). So the subsequent vows are especially important to the Wolves both as a shield to previous completions but also in their own right as they carry the weight necessary to win! Blood Angels had a very timid week, adding a meagre 850 pts to their total. Things look grim for them as time is running out as they need not only to flood the ETL with completions but also to proceed to second and subsequent vows to raise their total points pledged and bring their required completion rate closer to a more normal 50% rather than the demanding 70%+ that is currently required. So remember: it’s not over until it’s over – keep delivering on your vows and everything is possible! For Sanguinius! For the Emperor! Black Templars continue to deliver on their oaths in true BT style! Despite having a comfortable lead they added 4.7k pts maintaining their difference to the DAs at a sizeable 6.6k pts! And, being BTs, they pledged another 3.4k pts so most of the completions have been re-filled. Here I need to mention there are already two BTs in their 8th vow already (and there are bound to be others too) but be careful guys, the stakes are now very high! Just as a side note, 57% of all new vows (point-wise) in Week 11 were made by the BTs. Fanatics? Damn right! Codex Forums are in three distinct speeds. First we have Index Astartes that are delivering 50% completion rates (above the ETL average) and contribute 76% of the total points of the Codex bloc. Alone they are threatening the BAs (!) and I believe they still have some aces up their sleeve! Then we have the Liber Astartes that they contribute 16% of the total points of the faction. With completion rate of 17% way below the average of the ETL they have the potential to really make the difference for the Codex bloc! In fact I believe this is the Codex best chance to leap forward and challenge the first positions! Then we have the Ultramarines. The lowest contribution to the Codex total of only 8% and total completions of less than 1k. Hmmm… here there must be some progress as we reach the deadline because although the Ums are not many, they have some hefty vows there… And with completion rate of only 12% there is only one way to go! Honor & Courage – you have the power to turn the tables and give the opposition a run for their money! Chaos after some fantastic performance in Week 10 has slipped from second position to fourth as 1) their smaller numbers begin to show and 2) other forums have mobilized their resources gaining momentum. BUT Chaos still has a few rounds of heavy artillery in its arsenal and their position, although 4th, is not that distant from the rest of the forums in terms of points. Chaos is determined enough to see this through – they have proven it already with a completion rate approaching 60% - by far the highest (excluding the Ordos)!!! Ordos Inquisition had a second week in a row with no completions to report. Frankly with a completion rate in the 70s it looks as they have won the Dedication to the Emperor award … I woul urge the three participants that have 2nd and third vows unfinished to make the effort to complete them in time – just by tying the loose ends your completion rate will jump to the 80s!!! Until the next and last weekly update, farewell and good luck to all!

I cannot see the pics currently (am at work) but I'll reserve the pleasure for later tonight. The tables are updated for your completion and your new vow. I will not comment on who hasthe most points completed until the ETL is over however I can tell you that your completion pushed the total value of completions in the ETL above the 100k mark!
