SEVENTH WEEKLY UPDATE

Now let’s see the weekly stats in more detail:

 

E TENEBRAE LUX V – Week 7

Codex	77	102	66,490	17,387	26.1%
Blood Angels	54	77	32,699	12,417	38.0%
Dark Angels	57	72	42,613	8,620	20.2%
Space Wolves	51	60	53,390	8,264	15.5%
Forces of the Imperium	44	58	26,796	5,256	19.6%
Realm of Chaos	81	104	95,144	26,497	27.8%
Horus Heresy	107	141	125,317	33,599	26.8%
TOTAL	470	614	442,449	112,040	25.3%

 

And let’s see each Faction one by one:

 

BLOOD ANGELS

OK completion rate remains the highest in the event at 38% - a substantial increase on a weekly basis. Also a staggering 43% have made at least another vow so the drive and enthusiasm is there and can be said that is way more than any other faction! So what’s the problem? The problem is the small average vow of just 425. It remains the lowest in the ETL and the worrying bit is that new vows are lowering it instead of increasing. The average second vow is just 303pts… Thankfully average third vow is at 508pts which is encouraging but the bulk of the follow-up vows are the second vows (16 vs. just 7 of the third vows). Still, don’t let this bring you down, the pace you guys are keeping is fantastic and the enthusiasm and interaction in the BA Strategium is spot on what the ETL intends!

 

If anyone wants to go through the funky maths to work out if we're in third, that would be much appreciated.

 

^^

Third. This is the what is currently in our grasp and if we can maintain it we'll have a record finish. Keep up the amazing work all!

[RedemptionNL]

First vow complete!

I'll try to set up my lightbox tomorrow so I can take pictures when the sun is out with my DSLR, hopefully that will allow me to take better pictures.

And now preparing Lemartes and a Jump Librarian for my second vow.

[Captain Semper]

Last 5 Vangaurd Vets finished.

Will make a 2nd vow soon, just need to dig out a couple of minis to prep first.

I take it that's a "Vow complete" declaration? Congratulations man, the BAs are really keeping the pace!

I, Arkaniss, rise again to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete the following:

Hidden Content

1 Baal Predator with Flamestorm Cannon, Heavy Bolter Sponsons and Storm bolter

1 Squad of 10 Assault Marines with Power Fist, 2x Meltagun

1 TDA Librarian ML2

from Codex: Blood Angels of total value 470 points on or before August 15th, 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to ETL Faction Blood Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until my vow is complete.

Vow 2 is go!

And another vow! Good luck Arkaniss! That libby especially looks very promising!

First vow complete!

Excellent stuff there RedemptionNL, love the snowy bases - not often seen in the context of the BAs! Look forward for your follow-up vow!

Third. This is the what is currently in our grasp and if we can maintain it we'll have a record finish. Keep up the amazing work all!

With all your completions after the update and all the completions of the Codex after the update, you lead by 706pts! So yeah, you're third. Just keep in mind that this is indicative and stands to change materially in the final weeks. But it's good for morale! Your completion rate has reached 41% btw!

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[RedemptionNL]

And second vow:

 

I, RedemptionNL, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete the following from Codex: Blood Angels:

 

- Lemartes, Guardian of the Lost

- Mastery Level 2 Librarian with Jump Pack, Force Sword and Grav-Pistol

 

This vow, totalling 250 points will be completed on or before August 15th, 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to ETL Faction Blood Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until my vow is complete.

It is - Sorry I didn't realise there was a specific wording that I needed to phrase that in.

 

Come on Blood Angels - Let's show B&C who the dominant forum really are!

[Father Mapple]

Ok, finished my ETL vow! Here's a Furioso with frag cannon and a Cassor the Damned from Deathstorm.

 

 

 

 

Sorry for the slight blurriness, my phone got replaced and this one's camera is not NEAR as good as the previous one. 

 

VOW COMPLETE. So, I am not re-vowing. Sorry, it took too long for this one to be done. ALSO - I got another probject I'm working on. But I will still be around encouraging my frater!

It's not so much a specific wording, but by saying that just the specific unit is complete, I need to go back, see what you vowed initially, search for your other updates to confirm that you've completed your other units and confirm that this is indeed your last unit. It's a lot of back and forth that can be avoided by making a clear statement of "vow complete" :D

Great completion Father Mapple - sorry to hear you'll not be re-vowing. Still stick around and encourage your Vampiric brothers - the BAs are doing an excellent effort this year! :tu:

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[RedemptionNL]

Likewise! That model just oozes grimdark. He's probably going to be a proxy for a generic HQ Chaplain mostly, but he's too handsome not to paint up. Now hoping I can give him a suitable paintjob. :)

[Aubéron]

Hello.

 

Always at the state of wip but progressing well.

[Captain Semper]

Damn impressive model this one... I really want to do one of those!

 

 

OK, guys, it's mid-week, let's see some completions for the Weekly Debriefing...

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Riot Earp]

Shame on me don´t got a progress on my actual vow. Tactical squad is still waiting.

Hope to finish them till Sunday. I´m waiting for 2 ebayed drop pods which i shall desmurf (they are actuall blue) in my third vow.

[Arkaniss]

Man, that Leviathan Dread looks awesome in red. I can't wait to see that finished!

[WarriorFish]

It is a great model, but looks even better in green You can't have too many Dreadnoughts and with the number the sons of Sanguinius can have I'm liking how many I'm seeing It'd be cool to see some more Sanguinary Guard too...

[Charlo]

Must. Finish (uhh start...?) First. Vow. So. I. Can. Paint. My. Leviathan.

[evildrcheese]

Great work Aub, you're a credit to the Chapter!

Don't make me get out the Disappointed Teacher voice, Charlo. I guarantee it won't be enjoyable.

[Boudan]

[Charlo]

PRETTY

 

Love the Kneepad especially.

[Damon Nightman]

Charlo if you don't finish your vow, I will forever lose faith in this forum! Lol or just lose faith in the ETL being taken seriously by BA...

[Charlo]

Oh don't worry I'll finish it :P

I know when I'm going abroad now so I have a deadline to get DONE beforehand.

[CaptainHelion]

Damn right you do.

[evildrcheese]

Love the use of the wing transfers.
