[Captain Semper]

OK our baz and Synthos, you're both in - good luck, the IG forum is building up it's strength big time! :tu:

 

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Sinthos117]

Hey Captain, hate to be a bother but the name is Sinthos, not Synthos.  Thanks

[march10k]

I give you Knight-commander Pask in a Vanquisher with hull lascannon (the squadron mate -painted years ago- is NOT part of ETL, but is included as a reference for Pask's paint job)

Before:

After:

WIP pics can be found in my PLOG (numerican night watch, in this sub-forum).

I hereby suspend my first vow, since my super-heavy is not scheduled to arrive until Friday (and the bonus sponson sprue is back-ordered), and declare a second vow:

avenger strike fighter with dual missile launchers 190

ten stormtroopers with dual melta 150

stormtrooper command squad with four plasma 145

two valkyries 250

an autocannon heavy weapons squad 75

For a total of 810...

[Captain Semper]

Sorry Sinthos - corrected now! :)

 

So March - this substitutes your previous vow - correct? Will update tomorrow...

[Sinthos117]

Thank you my good man.

[march10k]

Captain,

 

I'll be completing  both vows, I'm merely moving on to work on the new vow while I wait for the shadowsword to arrive.  I'm not sure that it makes any difference whether the new vow becomes the first vow and the original vow becomes the subsequent vow...it's your contest, I'll abide by whatever makes the most sense to you!

 

March

 

/edit/  It looks like the backordered baneblade sponsons are now back on offer...I might be able to get them at the same time as the rest of the model...failing that, a week later.

[Cap'm Heckus]

Hi Cap'm Heckus, good vow there... I work it out to 301pts. Just a couple of things to clarify:

 

1. The "two more" I assume refer to a future vow.

 

2. Make sure that both the Forward Sentries and the Demolitions doctrines are properly represented as only things that can be phsically represented will earn you points. So melta bombs and demo charge should be there... (they may already be - can't tell from the pic). ;)

Yes. Sorry. The other 2 refers to 2 further vows. Tanks most likely.

 

As to the demolitions, one of the vets has the demo-charge arm from forge world (I apologize for the black primer). As for stealth gear on the forward sentries, the majority of the squad has night vision goggles from the SM sniper scout sprue. If that is insufficient, I inderstand.

 

Edit: Sorry for the double post. Not used to posting from my phone

Here is an example:

 

 

2 models close to done in my 1st squad.

You cannot have two vows running in parallel. It has to be a linear progress, moving to a new vow only after you have declared completion to the previous one.

Now given the above and the baneblade sponsons availability, I suggest you amend the vow that I have already linked in the first page to include everything you want to do... That'll be the easier way - just give me a heads-up when you do so that I amend the first page points' value.

Sounds good to me!

I have also added spafe's vow (good luck ) but let me know when you come up with a total value. Same applies with Walter h. let me know when you work out the value of your vow!

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Kierdale]

Nothing completed, but a WIP update:

Through the Warp, to near and far,

To Tallarn, Lethe and Ultramar,

The Emperor points and we obey,

Through the Warp and far away.

Decided to do the four flamer-wielders, Lord Solar (thought not in quite the `official` colours) and the skull-kisser (as Elmo named him) first. Should have them finished this week.

[Frater Cornelius]

Soon done. Only the last layer of rust and damage left. You know, the (painted) holes, the blood and rust and the Chainsword and gun powder on the Battlecanon. Also the decals on the crotch flag, but I am still studying the symbols in the Knight Companion so give it a bit. Then there's the terrain and he's done. Give it a few more days.

Started on the Vets and Tanks already. They should be done soon enough to get the 2nd vow rolling

[firewind]

I firewind answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete the following units from Codex: Astra Militarum of total value 455 points on or before August 1st. Success will bring eternal glory to the Catachan 516th Artillery Regiment and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end

 

Company Command squad with bolter and carapace armour on the colonel, 2 sniper rifles, missile launcher, officer of the fleet (100 points)

Ministorum Priest (25 points)

Techpriest Enginseer (40 points)

Heavy Weapons Squad with 3 autocannons (75 points)

Heavy Weapons Squad with 3 missile launchers (90 points)

Basilisk (125 points)

This basilisk didn't strip that well, but I think it will turn out all right with a coat of primer

Hopefully it will stop snowing soon so I can prime these guys, since I need them for a tournement on June 7.  Also, bonus points for anyone who can identify the model I'm using for the officer of the fleet.

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Hmmm....didn't know that was possible...if you can amend the original vow to add stuff, the limit of five vows seems superfluous...but ok, I'll just add the second vow to the first one, it's all the same to me...Ok, updated...total 1590, details are in the original vow post.

Normally, when you make a vow you cannot change it (apart from some fine-tuning). You have to finish it and then move to the next one. However in this case it seemed to me there was a misunderstanding of the rules, and since we are still in the recruiting phase of the event I did not want to constraint you that way. I want people to vow what they want - not be entangled to technicalities.

So now your first vow is in - if you want to do more stuff you have to declare completion to this vow first.

@ firewind: Welcome to the ETL and good luck with your vow!

AS THE FIRST UPDATE APPROACHES, PLEASE CHECK THE FIRST PAGE TO MAKE SURE YOUR STATUS IS CORRECTLY REPRESENTED. LET ME KNOW IF YOU SEE ANY DESCREPANCIES.

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[spafe]

I've updated my post above with the total points (540).

[WarriorFish]

Fantastic stuff everyone, I was wondering what I'd return to after being away for a few days and I was not disappointed! Keep up the excellent work, I'm off to continue my Baneblade as soon as I've finished catching up on the B&C - I'm all fired up!

edit: Here is my WIP topic

[Captain Semper]

OK spafe, your vow is updated!

 

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!
