+++E Tenebrae Lux III - Dark Angels Strategium+++

[FarFromSam]

I have only just gotten my DWK from a friend.  However, I will not falter. I have only a small vow so I WILL finish.  Though I may not shine as bright as my brothers, do not count me out!  Great work guys, keep it up!

Now I know I've not yet completed my 1st vow (home stretch, honest), but I still intend on honouring bu Blood Oath.....

 

I've 30 Terminators primed and ready to go, just need to find a few more models to round out true vow.

 

Cheers,

Jono

[Captain Semper]

Great completions there for the both of you! :tu:

 

@ Jeff: Beautiful retro force you've build there - sure btings back memories! :)

 

@ Grotsmasha: Well, we all look forward Champ! ;)

 

@ Tanyr: With this completion you've exceeded 10kpts making you a prime candidate for the title of DA Champion for this year... However it's not over yet! Congratulations!

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[JJD]

Vow complete

[Chaplain Lucifer]

Those colours just pop out so nicely! Great job!

[Cod]

Yay the DA's keep pushing on! Nice completions appearing now^

Although RL has been draining, just didn't feel right without doing a vehicle (to make that Ironwing just a little bigger), so...

I Cod_lover [Cod] answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete:

1 x Predator (counts as Deimos) with conversion beamer, lascannon sponsons, dozer blade and hunter-killer missile, plus the Legacy of Glory: Schism of Mars, for a total of 220pts, from Imperial Armour Vol. 2, 2nd edition on or before August 1st.

Success will bring eternal glory to the Dark Angels and the Lion and failure will doom me

to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

After seeing some space crusade figures appear in this thread I thought hey, I have a conversion beamer from a space crusade dreadnought somewhere! I thought the size was about right I will do my best to get this done.

[Spaced Hulk]

Third Vow Complete!

Really happy with the Vet. Sgt. in this squad. I am paying tribute to the Dark Millennium cover. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/JeffJedi/Vow3/ETL3Devs2a_zpsb7ed4537.jpg

Loving the Dark Millenium sergeant mate! If I could paint white better I'd try that scheme out myself!

Anyway, finished my 4th vow:

http://i1372.photobucket.com/albums/ag344/mat_at/ETLIII%20Vow2/Completed%20Vow/CIMG7237_zpsba09a4e0.jpg

And I'm going to risk a final vow:

I, Spaced Hulk, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete:

1x Company Master, equipped with Foesmiter, Monster Slayer Sword of Caliban, Melta Bombs & Artificer Armour

For a total of 180 pts from Codex: Dark Angels by August 1st. Success will bring glory to the 1st Legion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame til years end.

[Captain Semper]

@ JJD: That is so dark and so bright at the same time! Awesome stuff man - love the purple lining too! Congratulations...

@ Cod: I sure hope you'll make it - the clock is ticking. On the other hand I really want to see the end result of this painted with your style!

@ Spaced Hulk: Well done mate! Some very scary Chaplains there - as they should be! ;) Good luck with your final vow - let's see it done before the deadline!

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Politix]

My unit was abruptly sent to the field. Hopefully make it back before Aug 1st and finish my 3rd vow.

[Captain Semper]

Hopefully - or all the previous ones will be nullified! So make sure you get some time to do your third one and thus seal the success of the previous ones! ;)

[Captain Semper]

Aaaand first (and only) vow completed!

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Larhendiel]

Double satisfaction from updating, heh?

[Captain Semper]

Quite!

 

Still only 245pts... :(

[arizonajirt]

Very nice semper. What chapter are they?

[Captain Semper]

Thanks man, they are Disciples of Caliban... I got a blog somewhere I need to update but I'm dead tired now. Tomorrow I guess...

[arizonajirt]

Very nice indeed. How does their ravenwing look?

[JeffJedi]

Quite!

Still only 245pts...

But they are some tough highly detailed models to paint. I never would have finished my squad without the ETL.

[Captain Semper]

Very nice indeed. How does their ravenwing look?

Well only the DAs have special colours for their DW/RW... The rest of the Unforgiven Chapters just use the Chapter colours. In this case a combination of green and black...

[Pbenner]

Keep pushing guys.  We're counting DAYS at this point.  If you are close, FINISH.  If you are on an additional vow, SUCK IT UP AND PAINT.  FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!

 

Painting is fun, and once it's done, you have something much nicer than sprue gray / primer white/black for your overall look.  I'm still painting, even if I'm done with the competition for now.  This Drop Pod is a fun project.  

 

This is an older picture, but this is the state of it's paint job before I started last week (or close enough).

This was right after priming last summer, I wanted to look to see how much I liked the Green against the Bone and I think I'm  going to be happy with this overall.  

 

Not a vow, just a picture, Cap'n.  

 

Paul  

[Master Avoghai]

Quite!

Still only 245pts... :(

I know a guy (capt something.... I'll remember later) who used to say that every points count...

 

Heard of it?

 

:D

[Captain Semper]

BROTHERS

 

IT IS NOW THE TIME FOR THE FINAL ASSAULT. DO NOT LET THE LESSER CHAPTERS AND THE TRAITORS TO ASSUME THE INITATIVE! LET'S SEE SOME COMPLETIONS BEFORE THE WEEKLY UPDATE ON THURSDAY AND SECURE OUR ADVANCE TO THE TOP!

 

HONOUR YOUR BLOOD OATHS!!!
