Acebaur Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Brothers! The good Captain has made an announcement regarding our status as part of the AoD forum. From this point forward we shall stand alone as our own ETL faction! It seems the Dark Angels fear our combined power and look to weaken us. But we will only grow stronger from it! Remember the words of Grimaldus, the Heraldic cross that stands proud on your chests where the Astartes of the lesser chapters where the Emperor's Aquilla. WE DO NOT WEAR HIS SYMBOL, WE ARE HIS SYMBOL!!! So what does this mean for us? Well we must work that much harder to ensure victory. Do not let up this great pace we have achieved so far. Keep up the good work brothers! THE EMPEROR'S WILL IS YOUR TORCH. WITH IT, DESTROY THE SHADOWS!!! NO PITY! NO REMORSE! NO FEAR!

Andhil Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Deathspectre: We got you mobilized. It is time you and your Codex adherent Brothers stand alone, unsupported by the Eternal Crusade. Go forth, and do not disappoint your Primarch(s). TEMPLARS! We can still do this. Our greatest challenge is to up our pledged points. We outnumber the DA, yet they have already pledged more pts than us, by quite a margin. Now, we must, all of us, continue to keep up our pace. Our Vanguard has been successful. We have completed 4000pts in the first week. 4000! This is something to be proud of. We must maintain this lead, so we are not caught up by the completion of a single mega-vow by members such as Jirt(AoD) or Steve shields (CSM). I will up my own game as well, I have already decided on buying Sternguard and Vanguard, which will be vowed as 2 units of Vanguard (as I need plastic SB's for my Crusader squads), this will be combined with the Talon I have left into my 4th vow. This leaves me another vow to fill over the course of the event. Brothers, to victory.

deathspectersgt7 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I think it was the other way around Templar The Excoriators were calling the Chapters to action !!! WE will Stand firm as Always.

Brother Christopher Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Betrayal! As to the great news, this will in fact make things much more interesting. Every Templar now should rethink his vows. I, for instance, wanted to make a number of small vows. But now I see that I probably should merge my 2 planned vows (which I'm sure I will be able to complete) into one bigger one to leave room for future ones (if the time allows it). Ace, I love the tag :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290813-etl-crusade-of-zeal-the-templars-now-stand-alone/#findComment-3679664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhil Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I agree, the AoD faction was way too big. It wasn't even challenging anymore. Now we just need to step up to win this by ourselves. I'd hate to lose this after I'd already set my mind on a nice little "Primus inter Pares" banner.

Acebaur Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yes, I will also have to rethink my future vows. There was some doubt whether I wanted to try and paint everything that I listed was possible(a total of 2K remaining points). But now I think that I must try. I will certainly have to think about the break down of each vow as well.

Andhil Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Try not to overdo it either way. We've got plenty of time, but we want to stay one step ahead of RL intervening.

Andhil Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm not sure, I dropped the same question in the Rules/Update thread in the PCA. EDIT: Answered. Semper's gonna set us up with our own BT Strategium, but until then, AoD Strategium's the place to go for pledges and completions. C'mon fancy artwork!

Terrified Templar Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 You might be able to roll the Black Templars into the Space Marine Codex but try to roll us into the AoD ETL faction and our ZEAL will be too much for the rest to handle. Anyway I got a LRC and some crusaders lying around that seem like a great second vow once I finish up my first one. Also where is our resident Master of Sanctity Brother Honda? I demand he make a stirring speech here to send our already overwhelming ZEAL to new heights!

Marshall Bretton Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Remember brothers what it is that makes us different from our cousins! They stand and defend the Emperors realm! They hold the line, protect his people and remain stalwart and unyielding in defence of His realm! And their cause is noble and pure! BUT THAT IS NOT OUR WAY!!! We attack! We Advance! We never falter, we never take a backwards step, always moving forward in the Emperors name! We are the Eternal Crusaders! The last and final remnant of that most Holy and glorious undertaking, The Great Crusade!! Where there is darkness, we bring fire! Where there is ignorance, we Bring faith! We shall return the Light of the Emperor to those worlds lost to His sight, and find those that have never had the belssing of it's magnificence! We shall hunt down the traitor, the heretic and the xenos, we shall purge their worlds until there is nought but ash remaining! We shall advance eternally, uphold the honour of the Emperor, AND WE SHALL ACCEPT ANY CHALLENGE, NO MATTER THE ODDS!!! NOW ON YOUR KNEES!!!! REPEAT YOUR VOWS AFTER ME!! O, EMPEROR, IN WRATH REJOICING AT BOODY WARS; FIERCE AND UNTAMED, WHOSE MIGHTY POWER DOTH MAKE THE STRONGEST WALLS FROM THEIR FOUNDATIONS SHAKE. ALL-CONQUERING MASTER OF MANKIND, BE PLEASED WITH THIS WARS TUMULTUOUS ROAR. DELIGHT IN SWORDS AND FISTS RED WITH ALIEN BLOOD, AND THE DIRE RUIN OF SAVAGE BATTLE. REJOICE IN FURIOUS CHALLENGE, AND AVENGING STRIFE, WHOSE WORKS WITH WOE EMBITTER HUMAN LIFE!! NOW BROTHERS, FOLLOW ME! IN THE NAME OF SIGISMUND AND THE EMPEROR!!!! CHARGE!!!!!!

Eberious Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Epic stuff Gaius Maximus. Dark Angels, those treacherous dogs. However it matters not, this proves the others tremble in the shadows of our might. Come the end of this Crusade of the ETL, we shall be victorious. The DA are all taking vows now to double their points of their first vow by the end of the ETL. HOW SHALL WE ANSWER? With more ZEAL THAN EVER BEFORE!

Honda Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 The Men in Skirts were already in the process of wetting them before this. They were kicking around ideas like including weapons with their vow (totally awesome idea, wonder where that came from?) and saying "inspiring" stuff. Now they are desperate. Now they are doubling down. It does not matter how much you vow. The only statistic that matters is how much you complete. Other factions are going to learn about this the hard way. Right now we just have to keep doing what we are doing. Complete our vow, but more importantly, continue to recruit new people. The path to victory comes from finishing the most points. The more people with ZEAL you have, the more points you will finish. We have already jumped ahead of the pack. Our goal is to keep doing what we are doing so that if any of those super vows come in, it won't matter. All they will do is spare those factions total humiliation. I am excluding AoD here because they are still our brothers. In fact, we are a "Band of Brothers" united in pushing the Emperor's vision for humanity to the fore. AS BROTHER TRIG HAS STATED, NOW WE HAVE A CHALLENGE WORTHY OF OUR FULLEST EFFORTS. NOW WE KNOW WHAT IT TRULY MEANS TO BE A TEMPLAR. NOW WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO UNLEASH A FULL MEASURE OF OUR ZEAL! IT IS TIME TO UNCHAIN YOUR WRATH. IT IS TIME TO TAKE A STAND AND LET THE GALAXY KNOW THAT WE ARE THE HOLY SERVANTS OF THE EMPEROR AND WE ARE THE MASTERS OF THIS GALAXY. LET OUR BOOTS DRIP WITH THE RESIDUE OF THEIR FAILURE. LEAVE NO DOUBT IN THEIR MINDS THAT A TEMPLAR HAS PASSED THROUGH ALL THAT THEY HOLD DEAR AND THAT WE LEFT NOTHING STANDING. I CALL TO YOU BROTHERS, UNLEASH YOUR WRATH, UNLEASH YOUR FURY, UNLEASH YOUR ZEEEEEAAAALLLLL!!!!
