Russ Brother 92 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Have a nosey through the ETL I, II and III threads (all in Capt Semper's sig) or ask the man himself (he may be an Unforgiven but he's not a biter...) - all three successive have been run by Capt Semper, growing massively each year - the next is June-August '15 but there are often other painting/modelling/community events as well - we (Heresy Forum) have the Loyalty & Treachery challenge which may come back this year as well :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294979-etl/#findComment-3773540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It is a "Get Motivated" painting event that also serves as a friendly competition between the various subforums/factions of the board. The goal is to motivate as many people as possible to paint any models they've been procrastinating about while also encouraging others to get new models and paint those for their armies/collections. Participation is voluntary and it happens once a year from June 1 to August 1 I believe(clarify with Semper for details). The factions that have the most completed points after penalties, "wins".

Grotsmasha Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 As above , the E Tenebrae Lux painting challenge is a Codex/points based painting challenge from the Dark Angels forum to the other factions of the board. For as long as Captain Semper chooses to run it, it'll be annually in Q3. Also, atm, Loyalty and Treachery is currently slated to take the LPC's place in Q1.

Captain Semper Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hi MakoBoy88, The ETL is a painting event where participants are called to paint legal units as per Codex or other GW/FW army lists. The concept is to pit forum vs. forum, i.e. participants paint for a forum using the relevant Codex to "price" their entries. The participant has to pledge what units he/she are willing to paint - this is called a vow. Once a vow is complete the participant may proceed to make another vow. One can make up to 5 vows in total. If a participant completes all his vows, then he's allowed to carry a badge in his sig - the highly respected "Custos Fidei". Also the forum with the most points (adding up the points of the units of the vows of all participants in each forum) is ETL Champion and have a customised "Primus Inter Pares" badge, the ultimate honour that the ETL has to offer. So it's both about personal motivation as well as a collective one. It's really good fun. Have a look here you can find the links to previous ETLs as well as other events that take place in the B&C. And those do not include smaller forum-specific events that take place all the time. In any case feel free to PM me to discuss further!

Captain Semper Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 No, L&T is a motivational event only for HH armies. There is no competition, but there are some cool badges depending on what you actually complete... You'll find the link to the previous event in the link above. Again feel free to PM me if you need further info. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294979-etl/#findComment-3773816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
