+++E Tenebrae Lux III - Imperial Guard Strategium+++

[Dark_Apostle_XVII]

Apologies for my absence, been collecting all of this together for my last (5th) vow. Hopefully it is sizeable enough to inspire the rest of the forum to pick up the pace and continue in our last push.

I Dark_Apostle_XVII answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete:

Next lot is done. Would have posted last night out I was tired.

[Captain Semper]

@ Dark Apostle: Are you sure mate? If you fail your vow then all is for nothing... :unsure:

 

@ Arizona: You are the most productive of the IG lot!

 

Now the rest of you bear in mind that the BAs have overtaken you (by a small margin really) and have a good momentum! You'd better get back on track because I feel procrastination settling in! 

 

 

Now let's see some action!

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Dark_Apostle_XVII]

Is it too late to knock some points off Semper? I think you might be right mate, and I don't want to fail, was just trying to rack points up.

I can edit my vow with a new total :)

[Captain Semper]

Just make the fine tuning you need I'll adjust the front page.

[Dark_Apostle_XVII]

Cheers mate, think I'll play it safe with stuff I can paint fast and go with two tanks and a Knight totalling 805 points. Vow is now ready and I'm happy for it to stick now, I'm confident I can get this done :)

[arizonajirt]

And finished the lot.

Ooc vow complete.

[Captain Semper]

Hahaha!!! Arizona you should have vowed for the Guard all along! :lol:

 

Excellent effort mate - you're a daemon with the brush!

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[CaptainHelion]

You're an inspiration to us all, indeed. Guardsmen onwards!

[spafe]

I have finished my vow, but finding time to photograph it is hellish. Actually finished it about a week ago, and had time to move 3 bases from one suface to another since!

 

Will try to get pics of the enxt couple of days though, scouts honour!

[Kierdale]

Through the Warp, to near and far,

To Tallarn, Lethe and Ultramar,

The Emperor points and we obey,

Through the Warp and far away.

My first vow is complete.

All together:

And close-ups of the units I have not posted so far:

The two infantry squads.

Sergeants.

Melta command squad with officer with blade of conquest and tactical auto-reliquary of Tiberius.

And finally the standard bearer.

My first vow complete,...

I, Kierdale, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete 2 lord commissars, both equipped with the Emperor's Benediction, 1 equipped with a power scourge [power weapon] from the Imperial Guard of total value 155pts on or before August 1st. Success will bring eternal glory to the regiment and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

Vow 2:

1 lord commissar

- Emperor's Benediction (heirloom of conquest bolt pistol)

- Power weapon (scourge)

85pts

1 lord commissar

- Emperor's Benediction (heirloom of conquest bolt pistol)

70pts

If I fail to complete all my vows I will assemble and paint a statue of the blessed Father Kierdale...desecrated.

WIP thread is the same as my first vow.

[march10k]

Kierdale, the freehand on that banner is first rate!

Here's my latest completion, I still owe one valkyrie on my vow:

[scatmandoo]

Squad looks awesome. Looking forward to the bird.

 

All of you are giving me inspiration to get going again and finish my vow.

[Captain Semper]

I see momentum picking up! You guys managed to break the 10k threashhold!

 

@ spafe: I have recorded your completion but noted that the pics are pending. When you do take the pics edit them in your post above and let me know so I remove the note. If you do not provide the pics by the end of the event the vow will be nullified!

 

@ Kierdale: This is fantastic! :o The banner especially! Wow! This is an inspirational army you built for yourself there and you should rightly be proud! And a brave thing to move to a second vow too! Good luck! :tu:

 

@ March 10k: Niiice! Look forward for that Valkyrie though! ;)

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Ldorte]

Undercoat is on the last 6 models so my vow will be done soon, then it'll be time to follow Dark Apostle's lead and put all of my points on the line at the last minute for a last push to glory

[Dark_Apostle_XVII]

[CoffeeGrunt]

Looks a bit heretical for our thread!

[Dark_Apostle_XVII]

Yep! ;) Fortunately, as I am using the AM codex, and Knights can be used anywhere, I can paint my Chaos Knight and Traitor Guard to support the Imperial Guard's ETL push

[Cap'm Heckus]

Doesn't that just make you twice the traitor?

[Dark_Apostle_XVII]

Probably, but I am cool with that. Word Bearers CSM are my main army and my traitor guard and knight are very much themed around them - as I'm sure my name suggests. Therefore, it's only fitting I'm more of a traitor as I am one on the first heretics ;) I'm surprised no one has noticed my blatant chaos stuff throughout this, I'm on vow 5 now.

 

Saying that though, I have only been here a year and the guys in this forum have been so great in encouraging my progress with this army I wanted to support them all back in the ETL with my contributions. And to be fair, there is a guy in the chaos forum who painted a company of grey knights as counts as chaos terminators - that's probably as heretical as you can get ;)

[CoffeeGrunt]

Bowing to heresy to gain favour in a competition gains no favour with the Emperor! :P

 

It's an excellent army, and as a player of Traitor Guard of a different flavour, I'm fairly jealous of your paint work so far.

[Dark_Apostle_XVII]

Hahaha :P

 

Cheers buddy, I love what you have been doing so far too.
