Aspecti Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I finally had some time to prep and prime my tanks, so this is my oath: I, Aspecti of the Ultramarines make an oath of moment to face my brothers from the Dark Angels Legion in an honourable contest of strength and will. I vow to complete 2 Predators, 2 Rhinos, 2 Whirlwinds, a Razorback and a Vindicator by the set date! The Whirlwind turrets are still soaking in fairy power spray, they had so many layers of insanely thick paint that I believe the previous owner just dipped them in paint... >_< http://koti.mbnet.fi/aspecti/kuvat/figut/tankit.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282690-bellum-aeternus-currus-belli-make-your-oaths/page/2/#findComment-3529945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Guard Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Courage and Honour!!! What a mighty oath. welcome to the challenge Aspecti, those vehicles do look impressive even with just the blue spray on them. Tanks tend to be impresive like tat when displayed in numbers. Excellent news for our brothers in blue. Now we are in to double figures of vehicles. Ultramarines, you can give the Sons of the Lion a run for their money! Do not heistate, draw in your reinforcements and join the fray!

The Shadow Guard Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Coverting Dark ANgel Rhinos to Ultramarines in a contest between DA and UM ... How ironic.... Go for it man Aspecti... We may need to award you the Spear of Macragge award..... I may have to create a "Spear of Macragge" award just to recognize your efforts if you end up completing ten or more points/tanks for this event!! :) SG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282690-bellum-aeternus-currus-belli-make-your-oaths/page/2/#findComment-3536686 Share on other sites More sharing options...

After much consideration the Inner Circle has decided to make available a short extension in order for our battle brothers to bless the machine spirirts of their vehicles and make them available for the contest. I hereby declare the Currus Belli closure date to be extended by 14 days to midnight Sunday the 19th of January 2014 (B+C time) I highly recommend you to use this time to complete your oaths and keep faith with the primarch.

The Shadow Guard Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 http://www.fortressoftheunforgiven.com/Currus_Belli_Header_02.jpg + + + BELLUM AETERNUS: CURRUS BELLI ENDETH + + + The first of the events that we had hoped would make up the Bellum Aeternus has finally ended. I would like to thank those of you amongst our blue armoured cousing who supported the event in spirit and in action by at least making their initial oaths. Sadly none of the four particiapnts representing the Sons of Guilliman were able to complete their oaths for various reasons. So it is time to take stock of the concept of this event and learn from the mistakes. I feel that I owe you all, particpants or not, a more detailed explanation as to why the Unforgiven chose to challenge the might of Ultramar. Is the DA Forum an unbeatable painting juggernaut? The answer is a definitive NO. Until two years ago the DA forum did not do well on the main interforum contest, the Librarium Painting Contest. In 2010 and 2011 the Blood Angels were the clear leaders in that endeavour. In 2012, the enthusiasm of one brother, namely Captain Semper, revitalised the DA Forum in to action. It was a great example of how one person's enthusiasm could catch on and the DA forum emeregd victorious for the first time and again in 2013. Based on the revitalization of the DA forum after the 2012 LPC win, the ETL was created as described below. However, the first ETL, based as a DA Challeneg of all other forums, was convincingly won by the Black Templars with the DA forum only winning the second ETL in 2013. So the DA Forum is really far from being the painting jugegsrnaut everyone appears to beleive. Evolution of the Bellum Aeternus Series: Not too long ago, the main cross forum painting competition within the B+C was the Librarium Painting Contest. Two years ago when the DA Forum won the LPC for the first time Captain Semper and I felt that we could capitalise on the revival of enthusiasm within the DA forum to create a different event and the E TEnebrae Lux was born. This was styled as the DA Forum challenging every other forum to a contest. That theme has remained a great success. It was in the spirit that the bellum Aetrnus was conceived but at a smaller scale pitting single subforums against the DA forum and focussing on a single aspct of the spacemarine armoury. Why challeneg the Ultramarines Forum? The big question was that for the first event, should we have gone with a safe challenge such as the BT, BA or SW (from the so called Big 4). That would have been the easy route to have a successful event, if success was measured in terms of two sides duking it out. It would make the larger forums even stronger by their participation. But our assesment of success was aimed at stimulating the smaller forums in to greater vibrancy, hence we took the decision to challenge the UM forum along with their successor chapters in LA and IA. The reali aim was to increase participatin from our brothers in blue. Other reasons for picking the UM forum as the target of the challenge was the recent release of Codex Space Marine with lots of new goodies; The recent publication of the "Unremembered Empire" which got even myself thinking about an UM force for myself, albeit in the 30K universe; My own potentially flawed impression that the UMs had a large following. How did we try to balance the apparent inequality in the contest? A lot of thought went in to this. The event was discussed at length with our administrators and the UM, IA and LA moderators as well as the DA Mods and PCA mods. We were acutely aware of the potential mismatch which might kep people away. So we came up with the CB point system and the specific focus on tanks. had we ratined the gaming point system the difference between a rhino and a landraider wouldbe a massive 200 points; In our system the difference was 1 point. We expected the land raider to be the most painted model in this contest. It also allowed one or two enthusiasts to paint up the FW tanks and score massive points of 4, 5 and 6 points. I'm pretty sure this was a good balance set between the two forums. Awareness of Misconceptions I was particularly aware that there might be those who will misinterpret the intention of the event regardless of how much we explained out motives. It was always a danger that we might be construed as challenging a weak forum with the express intention of lording it over that forum. This was more so with the final trophy of the "Pearl of Ultramar". Shabbadoo in his post gave voice to that misconception in a very eloquent and civli manner. That lasy ascpect had the potential to galvanize or demoralize a forum and we took the chance to try and give a focus to the UM forum to fight this battle tenaciously Success and Failure In the Dark Angels forum 29 participants submitted a total of 55 tanks as oaths and 40 tanks were completed. My any measure thevent in this regard was an astounding success. On the otherhand we had only 4 participants who submitted an astounding 13 tanks as oaths. That was initially verye xciting for me because it would have only needed another 3 or 4 participants to make this a viable contest. Sadly no one managed to complete any of the tanks. From that point of view the contest was an abysmal failure. I am truly sad that due to whatever reason (real life issues, lack of participants, misconception of our intentions) that we were unable to inspire the Sons of Guilliman in to a frenzy of participation. I just want to be clear that the intent was solely to stimulate greater participation in your forum and nothing else. The future: The Belum Aeternus will continue to challeneg other forums, moving back and forth between the so called "Big Four" and the smaller sub forums with the same intent. We may tweak the rules further to balance the unique features of each forum and hope that we will return to challenge the Sons of Ultramar in the future to give you the chance to win back the Pearl of Ultramar. My thanks to those four participants who made their oaths and I look forward to seeing your completed tanks posted in thsi thread when you get a chance to complete them Sons of Gulliman: Total participants: 4 Total Points Pledged: 14 Total Points Completed: 00: Total Vehicles Pledged: 13 Total vehicles Completed: 00 SG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282690-bellum-aeternus-currus-belli-make-your-oaths/page/2/#findComment-3578628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ultras had some of the best looking miniatures last year. I look forward to serving with you once more. @The Shadowguard: I reckon the The Raptors on site could beat you Dark Angels in a scout challenge!
