After lurking in this thread for a long time, contemplating if my veeery slow painting can be of help, I figured if I don't use this occasion to finally splash some paint on some minis I never will! So I decided to make a vow as well:

 

I, BrotherSamael, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to
complete one Devastator Squad with 5 additional Marines, 2 Lascannons and 2 Missile Launchers for a total of 210pts on or before August 15th. Success will
bring eternal glory to The Dark Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end!

Fulfilled my second vow!

I, Master Avoghai, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete one deatwhing command squad with Company champion from Codex Dark angels of total value 225pts on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to The Dark Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end

Right. First-off congratulations to the two most recent completions. You guys you're doing the Lion proud!

Now the situation has changed. The teams are set. It's not about new recruits anymore, it's about completing the first vow early! Last year the DAs and the BTs had roughly the same completion rates in the first vow, but the BTs have managed the bulk of them in early July while the DAs did it much later in August. That meant that the multiplier effect of subsequent vows was much more meaningful in the BT camp, resulting in their clear victory. So coming in late and fulfilling your vow, although welcome, it deprives you of the ability to put in more vows and increase the DA total.

Thankfully, we already have 12 brothers (almost 20% of our total force) who have reported completion of first vow and 10 of them have already committed again for a second vow. Furthermore 4 have declared completion of the second vow and 3 of them have taken the brave step to make a third!!! Given that we are among the more numerous factions, such performace (if continued) can guarantee victory. If procrastination settles in, we will lose and we'll have no one to blame for it but ourselves...

BUT REMEMBER: IF BY AUG 15 YOU HAVE AN UNFINISHED VOW ALL YOUR PREVIOUS VOWS ARE NULLIFIED AND WILL COUNT FOR NOTHING!!!

So before you take your next vow be aware of the stakes... msn-wink.gif

Though it may cost me my eyesight, a lil more of my sanity, my loved ones, er no scratch that last one...

Tally Ho chaps, once more into the breach.

This is Vow number 3, Armour Support.

I hope you understand that I will post pics here in this post of the before pics, as I haven't finished building these yet.

Cod

Reason for edit, pic updates.

Well, that's all things built now. Not really sure about the storm eagle, it's ok but if I get time will play with it some more before painting.

Oh yes, painting... hmm gotta start sometime soon lol.

I HBMarley, he who is of twitchy hands and relatively sound mind, vow to complete 1 Master of the Ravenwing (Corvex) or else be eternally shamed as a Dark Angel, prodded with spoons and wear the Badge of Shame until the end of this year.

 

or not , just realised entrance has closed.

You can still play along as an out-of-competition entry. This means that your vow will be recorded in the list, you still have to meet the Aug 15 deadline, and you can post your pics here in this thread. It's just that the points of your vow will not be added to the DA total. Other than that you can enjoy the journey... So, shall I put you up for o-o-c? :)

 

Forgot to mention that you're eligible for the Badge of the Artisan and you can wear the Oath of Moment banner in your sig, as you will be eligible for the Custos Fidei banner if you make it, or the dreaded "Oath Breaker" banner if you fail.

Along with some assembly, I did some more painting but I need to go buy more green paint tomorrow.

 

I guess we are on top for the Penance Vows.

First Vow Finished!

As per the latest FAQ, sergeants now can't swap weapons so he is a counts-as SB&ES, meaning 5 less points than vowed. Whic should be 380 if I'm not mistaken.

 

Here's only Seraphicus. And here Squad Emziel.
