+++E Tenebrae Lux II - Black Templars Strategium+++

[Captain Semper]

@ Andhil: Well, I see the level of (baseless) confidence rising... :devil:

 

@ Castellan Cato: Your vow is in! Good luck!

 

@ ALL BTs: If you get 10 more brave Marshall's to join you'll have the same number of paricipants as DAs and Codex (give or take). Remember, on Friday the doors close! ;)

 

 

LIST UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[redmapa]

Outnumbered by 10? I like those odds

 

better get the 2013 primus inter pares banner ready captain, may I suggest using High Marshall Helbrecht for this year's image?

 

; )

[Captain Semper]

Well, it's actually 12 and DAs keep coming..

 

Here's the deal: If you have roughly the same amount of partiicpants you can still hope for your legendary high completion rates... But if you have a big disadvantage in participants numbers then no matter the completion rate, you'll be in an unwinable situation.

 

So bring in as many of your brothers as possible - Friday the doors close to newcomers!

[Deadman Wade]

I"m going to join those, who declared penance wovs. Should Black Templars gain less points than Chaos Space Marines, then I will assemble and paint four squads of eight Khorne Berzerkers and one Chaos Lord.

Edit: It's awesome that despite having the weakest and the most outdated power-armor codex Templars have more dedicated and loyal members than most other subforums B-)

[Lysere]

Since I'm once again a bit late I'll be upgrading my initial vow from what I was planning on doing, so here goes.

 

I answer the challenge of E Tenebrae Lux and vow for a total of 660 points:

Marshal with Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield, and Terminator Armor

 

Terminator Command Squad with:

Sergeant with Power Sword and Storm Bolter

Terminator with Chainfist and Storm Bolter

Terminator with Assault Cannon and Chainfist

Terminator with Assault Cannon and Powerfist

 

Terminator Squad with:

Three Terminators with Powerfist and Storm Bolter

Terminator with Chainfist and Storm Bolter

Terminator with Cyclone, Storm Bolter, and Chainfist

Terminator with Cyclone, Storm Bolter, and Powerfist

 

I'll also be painting a single Thunder Hammer Stormshield Terminator with them but since he's on his own I won't be able to count him.

[Captain Semper]

You're not late Lysere, you're on time! Welcome to this year's ETL and good luck - you're vow is in!

 

LIST UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Andhil]

Baseless confidence? That's what excessive Zeal does for ya!

[Brother Virngrath]

I Brother Virngrath am tired of Dark Angel numerical superiority so answer the call of E Tenebrae Lux II and vow to complete for a total of 400 points.

 

1 Marshall with articifer armour, thunder hammer, storm shield, adamantine mantle for 175 points

 

1 emperors chamion for 90 points

 

5 sword brethren with a power axe and pair of lightning claws for 135 points

[Andhil]

Welcome, Brother Virngrath and Brother Lysere! Your aid is most welcome!

[Captain Semper]

Good to see some activity in the BT strategium... Remember Friday is the deadline for new entrants while later today it's the 4th weekly update. So how many more participants can you add until then?

 

@ Brother Virngrath: Welcome to the ETL - your vow in! Good luck!

 

 

 

LIST UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

 

[Brother Christopher]

I'm glad to report that my first vow is now completed. Now I have to write like all my papers and pass all my exams in three or four days, but devoting some of my time to the Black Templar's cause and the ETL was totaly worth it! (yeah...)

 

Here's the completion picture.

 

So, I'm running of to complete the semmester successfully now, so that I can participate later in the ETL. For the Emperor!

[Andhil]

Congrats on your completion Brother Cristopher! and Good luck with your exams.

IF YOU WANT TO JOIN MAKE SURE YOUR FIRST VOW IS IN BY JUNE 15TH 17:00 GMT!!!

[Brother Darklight]

The High Marshal has taken notice of this situation, Brothers.  This Crusade has taken higher precedence over other current affairs.

 

(Message from Lord Helbrecht found here)

[jscolton]

The Calaheim crusade's fleet has been delayed by warp storms, but to those who made penance vows for the 15th, I will be ready, even if it's at the eleventh hour.

 

I found out last week that I was volunteered by my boss to go to canada for the next few weeks so I've been at work in all the free time I had set aside for painting, but I'm close with my vow.

[Larden]

[Andhil]

Late? No, Brother Larden, had you arrived after the deadline you would be late. You are precisely on time. And you are most welcome!

[Dark Scipio]

for a total of 2498 points on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to the Black Templars, and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

 

 

Excuse that I didnt took the time to translate it. I know that Cpt. Semper is very proficent in german, so I thought this will do it.

 

 

Further I vow:

 

 

Should the Templars not win, I vow to build and paint:

- A deathwatch libarian (!) as a member of that chapter that contributed the most points to the winning faction, named after the member who contributed the most points to the winning faction to lead my Deathwatch detachment

OR

- a Dark Apostle named after the member who contributed the most points to the winning faction to suppport my Thousand Sons Warband and their deamons

OR

- a Techpriest named after the member who contributed the most points to the winning faction to stand idle on my display board for all eternity.

[Firepower]

And Scipio earns himself one Get-Out-Of-a-Paddlin'-Free Card.

Note- cannot be used to get out of the paddlin' that will come should that vow fail to be completed.

[Captain Semper]

Ah, Herr Dark Scipio, vee meet again... A most imprezive vow zere.... vell dan.

As you correctly deduced from my reply I'm indeed proficient in German, but this does not let you off the hook... You need to translate this in English so other members can understand what you vowed... B&C is English speaking - so although the above is good enough to get your vow in, you still need to make it accesible to the rest of the Frater..

LIST UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Brother Darklight]

I understood what he vowed just fine!. 2500 worth! :D

 

Good to see some high value vows sneaking in here.  I'm starting think this is about everyone who'll be joining us, so these high value vows will be necessary to our victory.

[Andhil]

Awesome vow Brother Scipio. How come everything sounds much more badass in German? There's something about the "Sprungmodul" that sounds more....dangerous and agressive than a mere "jump pack". I'm just glad Belgium uses standard English codices, and didn't translate into Dutch.

But I digress! Your 2.5K pts may see us to victory Brother Scipio!

[Brother Virngrath]

A Crusade is never late, it arrives precisely when it means to. In this case our hour of need

[Brother Christopher]

Brothers, I had to visualise some data for a project for my studies. I needed some figures and tables and stuff, so I decided to make some ETL graphs (I hope Captain Semper won't be jealous, for it seems that making tables and graphs is his job... my apologies Captain!). Maybe displayingour progress on a coloured chart will show our condition more clearly? Who knows... If not, well - I had to do some graphs anyhow

So here are the results of my endeavours :
