The cause of the recent problems has been identified by Veneralble Brother Argos and the problem is being fixed. A faulty RAID card apparently infested by Dark Mechanicus Scrap Code was the cause for the recurrent crashes. Blessings of the omnissiah have been acquired and data restored from the lst safe back up. There may be a short down time in the future when the new RAID card is being installed. + + + ETERNAL VIGILANCE + + + + + + EMPEROR PROTECTS + + + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 The Baneblade may be hot air as the magnetisation will be time intensive I will not be building the Baneblade for this vow. It has turned up but due to family commitments over Xmas I just won't have the time to magnetise/complete this to the standard I want in the limited period. I have to have my vow completed by mid Dec. Just the Ares and a Rhino then :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grotsmasha Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Previously the Pearl was to be awarded to those who completed 10 points worth of vehicles, is this stipulation still in place? Meaning for me to claim it DA have to win with me completing at least 10 points and have no outstanding vows? Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Jono Times change..and the battle ground changes... and the victory conditions change! Great that you noticed that little anomaly.... The answer is that the incentive of only one faction carrying the badge is far greater than a badge being worn for 10 points, so there is no longer any need for the points stipulation. One just needs to complete all their oaths and help their flegion win this event...then you get the badge of the Pearl of Ultramar! Of course, all participants will get to wear the Carrus Belli Banner.....to be revealed soon... :) SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 So it seems what this all comes down to is that you...Angels of Darkness, are incapable of painting unless someone kicks you in the rear all the way to the end. How...typical. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader_91 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 This is a challenge I have been waiting for! Ever since the Ophidium Gulf! My Black Templars and Imperial Fists shall be waiting. Although, I wish this was a battle report type of competition. My Imperial Fists love kicking those Dark Angels around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interrogator Stobz Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Nice Pearl...shiny. I might be able to sneak in a tank or two, I've got a couple of Preds and the odd unpainted Raider laying around, no promises but it would be nice to get one of those new shineys Some Mod somewhere would have to teach me how to join current banners together so they only count as one line in a sig, otherwise the board won't let me add a new one despite them being relatively small. I'm not really prepared to give up the well earned and cool old stuff just for a 'shiney'. Any thoughts? stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Shadow guard I had a couple questions if you don't min fielding them about future challenges: If you were to make a vehicle like a land raider with multiple load out options (god hammer, crusader, redeemer, etc.) how would that be entered and scored for completion? Also thunderfire cannons and rapier batteries, will those be featured at any point with score values because technically they are tracked vehicles.

madman2980 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 What level of painting would the models need to be at?

Any thoughts? stobz All the types of pearl awards furtively fit in with the Path to Redemption Pearls in one way or the other so that without your knowledge you edge further towards redemption. As each Belli event unfolds the awards are likely to be incorporated in to a single 100 x 100 honour badge that should cater for all the differnt award options.... just have to find that shop on the edge of known space to buy a commodity called... what do you call that again?... ah yes ..it's coming to me... ahh... Time!! Shadow guard I had a couple questions if you don't min fielding them about future challenges: If you were to make a vehicle like a land raider with multiple load out options (god hammer, crusader, redeemer, etc.) how would that be entered and scored for completion? Also thunderfire cannons and rapier batteries, will those be featured at any point with score values because technically they are tracked vehicles. A landraider regardless of load out will score the same points in the belli event.... It will score for one vehicle's worth. As for Thunderfire Cannons and Rapiers they are not tracked armoured fighting vehicles.... However they do fall udner the purview of SiEGE weapons.... don't be in rush because you may well be painting them up sooner than you think with one of the upcoming Belli Events... The Belli series will cover virtually all unit options for the Dark Angels as we will be the common denominator for the series.... and our opponents will certainly also have a reasonable variety to choose from. Let's see how the rsponse is from the Sons of Guilliman as at the moment it appears to be very muted so far! SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 @ Madman2980: Any level of painting is acceptable, it is subjective and up to you the painter to decide when you are finished. Three colour table top to Golden Daemon is the usual range around here ;) It's all about participation and supporting each other. :D stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhg033 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Times change..and the battle ground changes... and the victory conditions change! Great that you noticed that little anomaly.... couldn't help but think of this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088286/quotes?item=qt0358661 anyway... got up in the loft today and managed to find out my non-current models/bits boxes up there including my unloved landraiders. my choice is now between: Landraider Prometheus Landrairder Terminus Whirlwind Rhino/Razorback there can be only one! well maybe two but that might be pushing it. leaning towards one of the raiders though neither are in my AoV list and the rhino chassis are. the Prometheus needs pulling apart though as its not put together well, it also has DA doors which don't match the theme.

Then in Windows (Vista or 7) basic picture viewer cropped off the excess image and manually adjusted the pixels to be correct. I found cutting and pasting the numbers into the resize produced a higher quality result for whatever reason. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
