Wow, great progress brothers - we're seeing three completions and a new participant in the space of twelve hours. Welcome, by the way, ZsoSahaal. ;)

 

Rest assured the Daily update will note the days occurrences. :tu:

[coabeous]

Hail, Scion of Ferrus,

 

It is a power fist off of a early blue, plastic, Beakie Marine.

 

It's pretty much intact, if your talking about the knuckles, that's just the way it came.

 

Thank you for your kind words, I wish my painting skills and eyesight were equal to these fine figures.

Sicaran Battle Tank "Murmillo" of the XII Legion World Eaters

 

Encountered in the ruined city of Appia on the devastated world of Ulixes during the Shadow Crusade, Sicarans such as this example were used by the World Eaters to spearhead their assault on the Ultramarines. Favored for their potent combination of speed, firepower, and armor, the III Echelon under the command of Centurion-Captain Voss committed over one hundred vehicles to the surface, alongside two to three times that number of Predators. While the lesser tanks suffered significant attrition despite the use of infantry screens, Sicaran losses were minimal. The size of this deployment indicates that at least some of the units were, in fact, former Loyalist vehicles captured or salvaged in the Isstvan System. 

 

This particular vehicle was known to have accounted for at least seven Loyalist tanks by the time this pict-capture was recorded, as indicated by the kill-marks painted on its left flank. Later committed to other battles of the Shadow Crusade, Murmillo was confirmed to have been destroyed during the Purge of Nuceria, incinerated by a Reaver-class Titan of the stalwart Legio Oberon.

[daemonclaw]

great sicaran relict i am out of likes so have a

[Relict]

This is the my first try at painting a tank. It wasn't as scary as I'd thought it would be. I had to get creative with some hard-to-reach spots but I think the end result looks decent enough. 

[Captain Semper]

Amazing work guys - the HH forum has always been famous for its quality, now it's also about quantity.

@ Coabeous: Fantastic work! Go XIII!

@ Chaplain Morits: Those dreads man... Stellar work down to the bases!

@ poom: OK, this skill level should be illegal in some countries... Fortifications are totally acceptable! Go for it!

@ Packe: As long as it's a legal unit from a HH list, you can paint it anyway you like. It's your model. May I suggest pink with little blue elephants?

@ Daemonclaw: You're making the Dark Pantheon proud. And Lorgar at that! Well done mate! :tu:

Oh, yes Iron Bars. Loving the Volkites. In fact I'm loving the overall aesthetic for your Ultras. Have a thumbs up to represent the second of two likes I wanted to give you. :tu:

Sicaran Battle Tank "Murmillo" of the XII Legion World Eaters

 

Encountered in the ruined city of Appia on the devastated world of Ulixes during the Shadow Crusade, Sicarans such as this machine were used by the World Eaters to spearhead their assault on the Ultramarines. Favored for their potent combination of speed, firepower, and armor, the III Echelon committed over one hundred vehicles to the surface, alongside twice that number of Predators. The size of this deployment indicates that at least some of the units were former Loyalist vehicles captured or salvaged in the Isstvan System.

@Relict - Nice/Nay Great Model there (Out of Likes)

 

As an aside reference the above underlined: For a bunch of Blood-thirsty Maniacs that battlefield looks immaculate with a few odd buildings in the background!

Indeed, glued to the backpack at the time of the picture (the model has now fallen from a bookshelf and is currently lying in half a dozen pieces, awaiting repairs).

Oops a Suicidal Space Marine?

 

ATSKNF!

[Flint13]

^^ Won't exist for another 10,000 years or so, Sir :D

[Olis]

A fair bit of activity in these, the closing hours of the recruitment phase. I am very impressed at the momentum, brothers and sisters. :D

 

After my last daily update there has been five new participants: Arkangilos, ZhoSahaal, The Or, helterskelter and Skalpynock has joined us in fighting back the hordes. Welcome brothers! Welcome to the Team. We are very happy to see you here. :tu: 

 

We also saw Rage of Khorne, Coabeous, chaplain mortis and Iron Bars complete their vows. Very well done to you, brothers! The Team is proud of you. With these finished vows our completion rate is nearly at the quarter way mark. That's an astounding achievement in the dying days of the recruitment period. Here's hoping for some revows. ;)

 

And finally, the actual total of points we have. We're four and a half thousand points away from 100,000 thousand points. We have just under twenty hours to find those points. Remember the closing of the gates is at 17.00 GMT. If you need a time relevant to your own time zone, here's a time-zone converter. What I want to ask is - can we do it?

 

Here's the numbers for today:

 

• Pledged total: 95,530 points 
• Completed total: 22,860 points 
• Vows completed: 24
• Completion rate: 23.9%
• Number of vows: 109
• Average vow: 876 points

[Laborious]

Well, May has flown by really fast. I was delaying pledging for this until I finished updating my project log with the backlog of completed models that I still haven't found the time to finish writing the fluff for, and now a whole month has vanished Oh well, never mind. Prepare yourselves, brothers, for the mother of all vows. Never in the history of the ETL have so many witnessed so much being pledged by so few, or something . . .

I, Laborious, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete 1 Legion Rhino with pintle-mounted Heavy Bolter for a total of 50 points on or before August 1st, 2015. Success will bring eternal glory to The Emperor's Children and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year's end.

I hope the fact that is has been pre-shaded doesn't count as too much paint, Semper? I've looked but I can't find the pictures i took of it before I primed it. All the work on it was done since the event started and It's been sat like this now for the last few weeks.

[Olis]

Nah, you're fine, brother. Welcome to the Team. :tu:

[SalvationOfReason]

If it's not too late , I, SalvationOfReason, rise to the challenge of E Tenebrae Lux, and vow to complete 1 Legion dreadnought with twin-linked autocannon (130 pts), 1 Legion Apothecary with artificer armor (55 pts) and 1 Legion Tactical Squad (9 members + sergeant), sergeant with Power Fist and Artificier armor (175 pts), for a grand total of 360 pts., or before August 1st, 2015.Success will bring glory to the Fifteenth Legion, and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until years end.

I, Kor'Vesh, true Son of Vulkan, loyal servant of the Emperor, rise to the challange of the E Tenebrae Lux for a second time, and vow to complete:

One Contemptor dreadnought with graviton gun and Kheres Assault Cannon for 205 points from the Horus Heresy Legion list.

I will aim to finish this task by the 1st of August, success will bring eternal glory to the XVIIIth legion and the forces of the Age of Darkness, and if I fail I will be known as an Oathbreaker and will wear a badge of shame for a year.

 

I'll add a pic tonight, just wanted to get in before the month is out to help towards the 100K...

 

Edit: Here is the Contemptor before I get started...
