Mike Zulu Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Thank you Semper for the Badge of the Artisan, and to all those who organised the event and participated. As for the Chaos forum, I'd say damn you but you already are. Well done.

Captain Semper Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I would like to thank everybody for their kind words and obviously for their time, participation and overall commitment to the ETL! Rest assured that whatever tweaks may come next year they will be marginal and in no way limiting the frater drive and appetite to paint! :) Now let's see your pics of your finished vows: make this the ETL pics depository!

Forté Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Oh and Semper: thank you very much for the Badge of the Artisan mate! I'm incredibly honoured! Hey Augustus, just wondering if it's ok for me to use that lovely Custos Fidei banner you're sporting? P.S.......I obviously haven't already added it to my sig, so lets talk about little tiny lightning bolts and how cool they are :devil: Check the Chaos Strategium. Malisteen has posted ones for use depending on how many vows you completed.

Augustus b'Raass Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm with Teetengee on the time-limit-per-vow issue. Part of the fun of the ETL is the strategy of vowing something huge and then being able to secure it with consecutive vows in the later stages of the event. A time limit per vow would take away that part of the event. In the end, who cares about super mega vows anyway? It's their choice, plus it would be impossible to make the ETL completely 'fair' with SWs and BAs having their own forum. I believe the ETL is mostly about challenging yourself on your wn terms (and the ETL restrictions), about the community and about fun. I like the group shot idea: here's my five vows together (already posted in the Chaos forum a couple of weeks ago) http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/temporary_zps78e60aad.jpg I have to say Augustus, that is one slick looking titan, definitely one to be proud of. If I may ask did you air brush the glow for the plasma gun or use a different method? Thanks HLVW! The plasma glow and all OSL has been done with an airbrush. First I paint the surface that is meant to give off light white, then I spray thin light blue, which I mix with white up to almost completely white. The more white, the less I let the colour 'bleed' on the surrounding surface. Hey Augustus, just wondering if it's ok for me to use that lovely Custos Fidei banner you're sporting? P.S.......I obviously haven't already added it to my sig, so lets talk about little tiny lightning bolts and how cool they are Hi Raz, sure you can - As Forte already mentioned, Malisteen has uploaded generic/Black Legion Chapos Custos Fidei with all the different rankings on it over at the Chaos Strategium. He's also offered to make personal ones with a pic of your choosing - he made the one you've already shamelessly stolen (like a true scion of chaos) for me personally, but I guess it could just as well work for all Night Lords players with five completed vows. If you want a Chaos Custos Fidei of your own -and I'm guessing as a Nurgle player you do- just drop Malisteen a PM (private message, not Plague Marine) Edit: links Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290369-e-tenebrae-lux-iii/page/22/#findComment-3766585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebaur Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 And the true scope of the Heresy is revealed! Semper appears to have been corrupted by chaos! Had he not sundered the forces of the Angels of Death they would have claimed victory! :lol: Seriously though I'd like to thank Semper again for all the hard work he puts into this event, it was a great time for everyone! I do find it a bit ironic that the Templars were split off in an effort to keep it competitive and it ended up being a blow out in favor of chaos. I'm certainly not blaming Semper as hind sight is 20/20 but I think it's something we need to consider for next year. So despite the official result.... I CLAIM VICTORY FOR CODEX:SPACE MARINES!!!!

Augustus b'Raass Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 @Acebaur: It seems not only Semper was corrupted this ETL... Chaos has corrupted ZEAL into ENVY. And envy leads to apathy. And apathy leads to defeat. ;) @kizzdougs: lovely ECs man, beautiful!

tvih Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 As for the whole factions discussion, looking purely at this year's completed points, it would've been a close race if you marged BA+DA+SW, and had kept BT+AoD together. However this would've left FoI and HH in the gutter. Even combined the two wouldn't have had a chance against the other groups. Hard to say which way would be the best, but stuff like having CSM+CD together while BA, SW and FOI for example are alone doesn't seem optimal from a fairness point of view. Despite all this it's still a great event, mind you, and no matter what form it takes next year I'll definitely participate again. Even if it's BT vs everyone else in one big group.

Not that they aren't a competitive faction, but simply that winning by such a margin involved an aligning of misbegotten stars not likely to happen two years in a row. The AoD just wants to gobble us up so we can do half the work...while arizona does another quarter of it on his own :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290369-e-tenebrae-lux-iii/page/22/#findComment-3766813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Steve, Arizona, Kilo, Tanyr, and myself can be one faction painting anything legal for any forum? Call it the Five Digit Forum or FDF. That should even it all out for next year, right?
