+++E Tenebrae Lux IV - Blood Angels Strategium+++

[bushman101]

@Captain Semper:

got a question about a future vow. I have some Terminators on square bases that i use for Space Hulk (they fit on the board better and it's easier to tell facing). Could i use these as a vow? I don't see anything saying i had to use round bases but maybe i missed something

[Captain Semper]

Yes you can! :)

 

I'm also known as Semper the Square... :D

[Theduke08]

I have a quick question for my vow as well... Can we use counts as models for the challenge?  Such as using the new Sanguinary Priest as Corbulo?

Let me refer you to a relevant quote fro the rules (So I will not have to repeat it :P)

 

 

Special Characters and “count-as” Special Characters

Special Characters are kind of a problem for ETL. They usually cost more than normal characters of similar stature due to their special rules or stats – both of which have no bearing in the ETL. However, such Characters exist in all factions so the effect is averaged out while the extra detail on the miniatures themselves ensures the effort to paint them is worth the premium. But what about Special Characters that do not have an official miniature out (tons of them in FW lists) or what if participants want to make their own version of a Special Character that may already have an official miniature out?

 

In that case we expect people to play in the spirit of the ETL and do the extra effort to present a miniature that will unmistakeably represent the Special Character in question. Kit-bash/convert the mini to the best of your ability not only with the correct loadout but with the extra attention that will make them stand out as true heroes of the faction. You also need to comply with the “irregularities” that certain Special Characters have. For example a DIY Azrael is expected to have the Watcher (apart from a combi-plasma and a cool sword) and Redmaw must have both the Werewolf and the “normal” version… If in doubt feel free to raise the issue with me before you commit.

Sign ups end in three weeks!

 

After that, you are only entitled to submit out of competition vows until ETL V. If you are still pondering, now is the time to act. If you can't begin painting until mid-July, now is the time to get that vow in. All it needs is one small unit that you can find the time for; it doesn't matter how little it seems, every bit helps us.

 

For Sanguinius!

[keeblerartillery]

Alright, so I have completed part of my vow and am on to the tactical squad!

[Jolemai]

How am I supposed to follow that with my SG? :( :( ;(

Success will bring eternal glory to the Blood Angels and all their Scions and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of Oathbreaker until the year-end.

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[The Milkman Of Baal]

Hey guys I'm stuck on how to do the banner thought I'd ask you guys? What do you think? I could just rip it off..

[Jolemai]

Toss in some highlights and add a transfer for whatever company/squad the sergeant is from in the centre circle?

[The Milkman Of Baal]

Was thinking more along the lines of

colour mate

[Jolemai]

Perhaps a bone colour? A light, neutral canvass that will make the detail "pop"? Perhaps with some gold and/or purple embroidery thrown in? Just yesterday I asked a similar question regarding a banner and I got a couple of replies which may be of some help :)

[gav1892]

I gav1892 rise to the challenge of E Tenebrae Lux and vow to complete Mephiston, Librarian Dreadnought, Librarian, Terminator Chaplain and Brother Corbulo from codex Blood Angels with a total points value of 690 POINTS on or before August 1st, 2015. Success will bring eternal glory to the Blood Angels and all their scions, and failure will doom me to wear the badge of Oathbreaker until the year end.

 

 

FINGERS CROSSED i might have some Forgeworld stuff to add onto the list as well cash allowing.

[Dolchiate Remembrancer]

Hey milkman!

bone, white, black and gold are the usual suspects. However if you want something that will pop the complimentary to red is green.

[chaplainmikey]

Okay so I've decided to do 5 Death Company for my first vow. Going for something small and easy to ensure completion as I'm having a bit of a 'hobby wobble' at the minute and so don't wan't to vow something I'm not sure I'd get done.

I Chaplainmikey rise to the challenge of the E Tenebrae Lux and vow to complete 5 Death Company with Jump Packs, one armed with a Power Sword, from Codex Blood Angels with a total points value of 230pts on or before August 1st, 2015. Success will bring eternal glory to the Blood Angels and all their Scions and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of Oathbreaker until the year-end.

okay did i do it right this time?

For Sanguinius!

Is that for additional vows as well or just for people who haven't started any vow?

More to the point, if I'm still working on my first, in 3 weeks I won't be able to submit a second?

Thanks for clarifying!

time limit is just for the first vow and subsequent registration into the ETL.

[Captain Semper]

@ gav1892 & ChaplainMikey: Welcome aboard gentlemen! Good luck to both! :tu:

 

@ Just4uCupCake: Perfect! 

 

@ Orogen: People can sign up for the ETL until June 1st. The way to sign up is to submit your first vow by that time. After that, you have until Aug 1 to complete it. If you manage to complete it earlier then you can vow again and so on. You can vow 5 times in total. Hope that clears it? 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[xmercx]

small update from me while I actually have internet at home (had a few issues the last week or so).

Have the upper part (i.e. the cannon) done on the plasma obliterator.

Finished off my take on Captain Karlaen

I'll post some more pics of him to my thread when I get the rest of the vow finished up.

[psychodough]

Oh man! I just moved and all my stuff is in boxes I don't want to miss out on this years event! I'll have to do something small to lock in my vow.

 

I Psychodough rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete 1 5 man squad of scouts with bolters from Codex Blood Angels of total value 55 points on or before August 1st, 2015. Success will bring eternal glory to the Blood Angels and all their Scions and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.
