Sons of the Angel,

You have allowed the fanatics of Sigismund and your dark green brethren to capture this most prestigious of titles. But the time has come to reclaim your status as a painting super power in the sacred halls of B&C! So rise Angels of Blood and show that your true status, like when defending the Imperial Palace, is none other than:
 

PRIMUS INTER PARES!

 

++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 
Welcome to ETL III and the Blood Angels Strategium! Here is the home for those who want to participate in the ETL putting their weight behind the Codex: Blood Angels!

The rules of ETL III can be found below:
 

E TENEBRAE LUX III RULES

 
So what purpose does the Strategium serve? Well, its official function includes the following:

• Post vows & declare completions. This is very important as placing the vows elsewhere will create unnecessary confusion and lead to mistakes. Also if you do not report the completion here, I will not update your status.
• Participation tables. Here I will be updating the rosters of participation so make sure you see your name listed and that your status is correct - and if not, notify me.
• Post your pictures. Remember, we need two – one “before” and one “after” but feel free to post as many WIP pictures as you like!
• Weekly updates. This is where I’ll be posting every week an update of the event in general so the frater can keep track of what is going on in the wider picture.

You are also welcome to use this thread to encourage each other, devise strategies, discuss the developments of the ETL and of course ask questions. For the latter you can also PM me.


ALL WHO MAKE A VOW AND ARE LISTED BELOW HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO WEAR THE OATH OF MOMENT:

[Dolchiate Remembrancer]

FIRST!

As a repainting of my entire force is going on, I will begin modestly.

I Chaplain Blackord shall vow to paint and complete 20 assault marines by August 1st.
As my marines are not quite WYSIWYG, They shall count as the following:

2X 10 man squad with 3 plasma pistols

note: I have 25 in total, but 2.5 already painted. So to be fair, lets go with 20 and you will see more special weapons on them, but it wouldn't be fair/legal to vow them as such. Although they will be painted as such.

As they are from Codex Blood Angels, there value would be for 470 points.

Success will bring eternal glory to Sanguinius and the Ninth Legion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

EDIT: first ETL so I got inspired to edit based on Gondow's vow!

[Gondow]

I Gondow answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete Astorath, Scout squad 5+sergeant, Sniper rifles and Camocloaks, meltabomb and locator for sergant. Devestator squad (9+1) 4 Lascannons, Plas. Pist, meltabomb and powerweapon, and for them a Drop pod with Missile launcher. A StormRaven gunship with Bolter sponsons Lascannons and Missile launcher, from the Blood Angel Codex of total value 981 on or before August 1st. Success will bring eternal glory to Sanguinius and the Ninth Legion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

 

 

ed. and pics now uploaded.

[JamesI]

Since most of the painting I expect to do over the next few months is for my Thousand sons/Tzeentch Demons army and I have almost no unpainted Blood Angels units, of course my vow is for the Blood Angels.

 

 I, JamesI, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete 1 unit from Codex Imperial Knights of total value 375 on or before August 1st. Success will bring eternal glory to the Angels Vermillion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

  I may end up adding to this, but I'm not really sure what else I even have for Blood Angels needing paint.

[GrunTeufel]

Let's do this than.

 

 I, GrunTeufel, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete a Baal Predator with heavy bolter sponsons and 4 x 5 man assault marines (squad 1: sarge with powerfist, flamer. Squad 2: sarge with power weapon, melta gun. Squad 3: sarge with power axe, hand flamer, Squad 4: Sarge with a plasma pistol, inferno pistol) along with a 5 man combat squad (Sarge with a power fist) of total value 770 points on or before August 1st. Success will bring eternal glory to the Blood Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

 

I might expand my vow and add some other things along the way. We will see.

[A Son of Sanguinius]

Time for redemption after I failed last year.

 

I, A Son of Sanguinius, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete Mephiston, Lord of Death, of total value 250 points on or before August 1st.  Success will bring eternal glory to the Blood Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year end.

 

Keeping the vows small this year, better to add small groups of points instead of the big zero I added last year.

[marine7312000]

I, Marine7312000, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete a ten man tactical squad (sgt with combimelta and powerfist, plasma cannon and plasma gun), a ten man assault squad (sgt with power axe and plasma pistol, plasma gun and meltagun) and a BA Contemptor with Blood talons with heavy flamers and a magnagrapple of total value 675 points on or before August 1st.  Success will bring eternal glory to the Blood Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year end. I forgot the contemptor in the original vow. I hope it was ok to it.

[xmercx]

Alright, lets roll!

 

I'm setting a side goal for myself this year.  All my vows will be able to form up into a usable army by the time I'm done with all of them.  And to that end...

 

I Xmercx answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete [1 Captain w/ Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield and Jump pack (175pts.) 1 Ten marine Tactical Squad w/ missile launcher and melta gun (175 pts.) and 1 Ten marine Assault Squad w/ two infernus pistols on sergeant and two meltaguns in the squad (240 pts.) ] for the Nova Angels  [successor Chapter of the Blood Angels ] of total value [590 pts] on or before August 1st.

This is going great so far guys. At this stage (24hrs after kick-off) it's too early to make an meaningful conclusions but what is important is to keep the recruiting flowing in! It's not so much about the big vow at this stage, is about declaring your commitment.

[Tabgoi]

Okay, never done this before so lets go big or go home.  Except I am already home, so this is more like a kick in the pants to try and get a bit more of my army repainted, starting with the big stuff since it will help the board most.  Pics shortly, took a group shot, working on resizing it to fit the board without blurring everything beyond recognition.  Also, we could use a lot more vows, a Raven Guard player vowed close as makes no difference 11k points.  I manage to get this stuff finished and I'l work on some DC or Dreads.
