CURRUS BELLI


Recommended Posts

Currus Belli...Oh god emperor, is this gonna be an ETL for vehicles only?  

 

Suffice to say, for now, you have my curiosity, come the 11th, we'll see if you've earned my attention. 

 

 

 

Seriously though, aren't we a little eager for the revenge of the templars for ETL 2? That date means a lot of christmas crusaders gunnin' for ya

Google translate says that means "Car war"

So, count me confused teehee.gif

Currus is more like cart or chariot. There's a print in The British Museum entitled Currus Belli, or Chariot of War. In modern terms, I guess that currus would be car, but then latin isn't really a modern language.

Arise angels to battle we gather

To face the mighty legion of our brother

A test of arms, strength of will

Drums of war beat their tune together


Remember those who saddled in leather

Sped to war like birds of feather

On the field of battle the lords shall untether

Their glory shall remain etched forever


Come from far and wide to conquer

Travel the distance to honor your father

Win or loose you will always remember

Today you stood and faced your blood brother


 

+ + + Prepare for War! + + +


 

+ + + For the honour of your primarch and his legion + + +

It's more than afraid, they're giving themselves three whole months to sit on their fat, swollen...laurels, along with the ultramarines and their ilk. Meanwhile they think it's prudent to give us a one month only handicap. And deep down they still expect to win, it's balancing between tragic and humorous.

Oh well, those who can do, those who can't wear bathrobes into battle; clearly.

Also, why the heck aren't there points for things like storm ravens/eagles? I can understand bikes as they're technically "infantry" but you're limiting the motor pool!

Sorry you feel that way. The current competition is only TWO MONTHS. The elad up time of three weeks will be there for all the subsequent months. Given the fact that this is the first event of it's kind and that all subsequent ones have been given a some advance notice, ie, they will follow the release of the relevant Codex Supplements a ONE month event instead of TWo months was felt to be appropriate.

And deep down they still expect to win, it's balancing between tragic and humorous..!

We are the Sons of the Lion, Progeny of the First Legion, Original bodyguards of the emperor and the legion that commenced the great crusade with the emperor at the head... We ALWAYS expect to win... Nothing tragic nor humerous about it! tongue.png

Oh well, those who can do, those who can't wear bathrobes into battle; clearly.

or perhaps there are those who challenge their brothers and win ..... and those who just complain? msn-wink.gif

Also, why the heck aren't there points for things like storm ravens/eagles? I can understand bikes as they're technically "infantry" but you're limiting the motor pool!

This event is all about "Armoured Tracked Vehicles" as the event design states. Storm ravens and eagle don't have tracks last time I looked.... the follow on events (if this current one meets its expectations) will have different themes... they are not all about armoured vehicles!! :)

Hope that helps clarify matters...

Oh they will be safe... the aim is to get everyone painting their wagons! :) Every tank painted is a WIN.... you can only make a second oath once the first is complete but the first is locked in regardless of the second oath.
