PATH TO REDEMPTION


The Shadow Guard

Recommended Posts

I am going to sit this out. At least until next month. I just haven't got time to paint...which really annoys me. I managed to basecoat every model for my vow, and even get colour on a few. It's a damn conspiracy...I pick up a brush and something comes up so I have to put it down again :(

 

11th company dark master - know where you are coming from but thats no excuse :) how about a 'basic' captain who can mysteriously become a veteran sergent later on?

11th COmpany Dark MAster, I sympathise with you and agree with lhg033 at the same time. But you are a dark Angel and you must try. Pick a model that is nearly complet, needs a base flocked, some decals inserted or a model that just eneds some aditional details added and make an oath with that. Keep it simple and stay the course. if you complete something for October you are indeed able to redeem yourself for September and then go on with the rest of the redemption seekers...if not forever be consigned to the bowels of Chamber 42!! :P

 

I am hoping that all 82 of the original oathmakers will somehow finally make it through the six trials of redemption and be by the side of the Supreme Grandmaster as the Unforgiven are unleashed on this universe!!

 

Was going to wait until I actually took a picture, but I'll just edit it in later :) I, Artemid, do solemnly vow to paint a Deathwing terminator squad, from Codex: Dark Angels, equipped with Thunderhammer/Stormshields all around and a Cyclone Missile Launcher, for 235 points, by the end of October.

 

 

I vow to build and paint 4 vets, a drop pod, and a company master for the month of october.

September vow of 5 gunslinger vets 175pts *completed*.

October vow of a DV company master 125pts. *working*

3 gunslinger vets, plasma gunner vet, and a droppod 175pts(addition to sept vow).

I still have to go get the vets but here are the company master and the droppod.

Artemid and cypherthefallenangel, welcom on your continued journey for Redemption..May the lion watch over you!

 

 

At the momen I am humbled by the dedication of this community to this little challenge/event. We now have nearly half the total number of oaths for September already pledged in October.

 

Forward Dark Angels, For the Lion and the Emperor!

October's path is gaining momentum guys, this is going great! Keep your vows coming - it's still early in the month! :yes:

 

Oh, and SG, my Deimos Rhino is worth a humble 45 pts (dozer blade+count as stormbolter)

I Darkangeldentist vow to continue on the path to Redemption and for the month of October will assemble and paint the tactical squad from the Dark Vengeance set. (Point cost 205.)

 

Since there is the option to add to vows, I'll be restrained to start with as I nearly missed Septembers. (Still need to take some decent photos of those models and put them up.)

 

I also need to sort out those snazzy banners you've made up Shadow Guard.

 

October vow completed...just I think?

I really need to submit these photos earlier.

Good to have you back my firend.... always good to have the Inner Circle also walk the path of redemption.... -_-

 

October vow complete, post #352 edited with finished pictures.

 

... and we have a second completion before the end of the first week. I feel the "redemption-fu" to be very strong at the moment.... Excellent work and that RW Attack bike certainly looks rejuvenated and means business. A hge differnce between the before and after images. Nice work!

 

Now do we think we could get some more of those who strayed off the "Path" in September to rejoin? If you know someone who did so, give them a gentle nudeg and let's see how many of our brothers we could lead to redemption.... :P

As I missed September by not being here I kinda want my first Pearl :P Can I add a extra vow to cover September too? Would that be allowed?

 

This is covered in the details of the event in the Path to Redemption October main page but in essence is as follows:

 

Newcomers who begin their oaths in October

Although you will not have been able to earn white pearl for the month of September as you are participating as a newcomer, you may still earn the September white pearl and also the much sought after Black Pearl. You will need to complete three task in order to be able to earn this final prize:

1. Complete one oath for October.

2. Complete one oath for November.

If you fail your October or November oaths you will not have a second chance similar to those who failed the September oaths.

3. Complete a third, small additional task by the end of December. This task will be revealed to you at the end of November once you have completed your October and November oaths of moment.

 

This will earn you the September White Pearl as wellas those for October and November. If you then keep it up for another three months (ecember, january & February) you will be eligible for the sought after Black Pearl!

 

Hope that helps... :lol:

Honoured brothers,

 

 

It seems I fell to the sin of pride, believing myself to be fit to return to battlefield before the apothecarion declared me fit to return to service. Therefore meaning I rushed at the last moment to gain praise in the eyes of the Lion, and in doing so shamed his name and my own.

 

I have understood my own failings, and will seek the path to redemption in the eyes of the Lion and my brothers.

 

Brother Hermanista.

 

 

 

So in short, deciding to join up 7 hours before the September vow deadline, with a recently dislocated shoulder wasn't the greatest idea I've ever had. So, bearing the mark of shame, I've got my inspiration to catch up :lol:

 

In which case,

 

September Oath - Captain + demi-squad of Tactical Marines

October Oath - Deathwing Squad. Redemption Oath - demi-squad of Tactical Marines

November Oath - Undecided. Redemption Oath - Deathwing Squad.

 

As for the shoulder, x-ray results should be in tomorrow, to see how bad I tore out the muscles/ligaments, then hopefully back to painting fairly soon.

Welcome back to the fold Brother Unforgiven Angel,

 

In order to join the rest on their Path, you only need to complete the vow you made for September and a separate oath for October. if you complete them both you will be givena small redemption task to complete in November which will earn you your September White pearl along with the october Pearl and the chance to continue onwards towards a Black pearl! :P

Path to Redemption: October Week 1 Summary

 

http://www.fortressoftheunforgiven.com/PtR_Return_to_Redeem_Banner.jpg

 

Well, the first week has nearly passed and it appears that our walk down the Path to redemption is very much in good health! I would like to thank the unforgiven who have remained faithful and continued their trudge from September to October and the high spirits and enthusiasm shown so far.

 

The event remains storn with 45 participants making their Oaths of Moment in the first week.

 

Of the 82 battle brothers who started their journey in September 53 completed with their honour intact, of whom 39 veterans have continued their journey so far in october. I hope the remaining 14 brethren will remain strong and participate in October.

 

I would like to officially welcome the four New battle brothers (Abraxus, AngelVeto, Arkle & Sargon29) who have stepped in to the path in october and would like to remind them that they do indeed be given the opportunity to earn the White pearl for September providing they complete their October oath and continue in to November. details will be forthcoming in the coming months.

 

A special mention must go to Archangel and hermanista who have taken a massive oath of moment to redeem themselves and earn two white pearls for September and october. May the Lion guide their path and their brushes!

 

Below is a summary table of the event so far for comparison:

On a side note, I still would like to drill out the bolters (and possibly the exhaust pipes) but have yet to track down bits to do so.

SG, can we add to our current vow? The reason I ask is that I have a tourny the 27th that I need to finish painting my army for, and I figured I may as well go big or go home and vow the rest of the army ontop of my current vow.

 

Yu certainly may do so. The rules state that once you have completed your firs vow for the month you may add second or third vows... but if you want to increase the size of your first vow that is fine too as long as the original vow elements remain. ;)

 

SG

I'm not sure where this months original vow is, so here is my expanded vow for October:

1 squad of RW- 6 bikes, 2x meltaguns and sergeant w/melta bombs (original) adding a attack bike with multi-melta for a total of 295 points

1 squad of DW-sergeant w/ AC&PW, 3x SB&PF, & 1x SB&CF(original) for 250 points

1 Belial w/ TLC for 130 points

1 squad of DW-Apothecary w/ TLC&CML, Standard Bearer w/ TLC, & 3x TLC for 290 points

1 Squad of DW- sergeant w/ TH, SS&CML, 4x TH&SS for 235 points

10 man tac team- 1x PG, 1xPC, & sergeant w/ melta bombs for 200 points

1 land raider crusader for 250 points

1 agies defense line w/ quadgun for 100 points.
