Finished this Bastard. Did you ever have a model which just refused to be painted, this guy fought me tooth and nail, I nearly threw him against the wall on five seperate occasions.

Because I'm Insane and riding on a High of Red Bulls and Monsters.

 

I, The4thHorseman, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete 1 Counts as Captain Karlaen from Codex: Blood Angels of total value 160 points on or before August 15th, 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to ETL Faction Blood Angels and failure will doom me to the Death Company.

 

ALL IN WITH KARLEAN!!!

Horseman you are a crazy person, but such a model will surely inspire you to complete...

I agree, the BA have gone above and beyond this year - makes me want to paint some red! I am sorely tempted to do some librarians now, the stubbly looks really good and makes him look a lot tougher

[LutherMax]

Agreed, I like the beardy Libby!

[Xenith]

4th Horseman you nutter, get it done!

I declare my 4th (and final) vow complete. I had wanted to get through these guys quickly and make another vow, but ultimately they were too much fun to paint and I got carried away.

So, my final offering:

Chaplain

Jump pack detail

Dante

Detail

The Sanguinor

Jump pack detail

Vial Detail

It’s been a (n exhausting) blast, but I’ve never painted so much, so quickly, while only sacrificing a little in quality. I think I’ve put it where it counts.

I come out of this knowing I am capable of painting 1000pts per month, and with almost 2500 pts of freshly Blood Angels for the collection.

Thanks to Semper for running this, and Reclusiarch Jolemai hor hassling, harassing, poking and prodding.

Til next year!

Awesome completions everyone. It's a peculiar feeling but I'm looking forward to Monday (for the results at least, not the nasty work bit).

 

The4thHorseman, you're mad but that's a beautiful mini, get some paint on him!

[LutherMax]

Good work guys keep em coming!

 

Is there a thread showing the ETL winners / results for each year?

 

If not why not? :D

[Damon Nightman]

Vow complete:

 

 

Will get better pics later, but for now i rest!

 

Great work everybody! Some beautiful completions coming in!

My vow is now complete. I posted photos of the Terminator Captain earlier in the thread, and here is a crappy cell phone photo of the Terminator Squad done to a tabletop standard.

It's not my usual standard but with a relapse, lack of energy and lack of time it's the best they'll be for now. I'll be going back to finish them to my usual standard and posting new photos of them soon.

There are many who would be very happy with this standard mate. Great work here and in the previous effort!

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

Superlative work, brothers! I'll be joining you in a few hours. I have just some final touches to out of my 4th vow ASM after I've got my children to bed and I'll be done.

 

@The4thHorseman -- you're a mad man! Godspeed!!

[The4thHorseman]

Ok so I think I drank a good portion of my paint water. My eyes and fingers hurt and I'm tired as hell, plus I have work tomorrow. But its done, bases be damned at this point. I'll probably wake up and look at it tomorrow and hate it.

 

Vow 2 Done. Good Luck everyone. I'm off to bed.

 

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

Well, I'm finished my 4th vow and even getting to bed at a decent hour!

[Nicodemus Doloroso]

@The4thHorseman: Amazing -- very fast vow, and he looks good! Also, did anyone tell you that your avatar looks like (a young) Rutger Hauer in Blood Angels assault marine armour?

All previous ETLs can be found here. Also wait for this year's Final Report. ;)

I think you mean your 3rd vow? You're welcome Zenith, it's been a great year for the BAs! :D

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Xenith]

 

I think you mean your 3rd vow?

 

What, you didn't record that cheeky 3000 pointer I dropped mind July?

[Xenith]

Only 5-6 spots left in the Baalite feast of Blades, enter your ETL champion now!

[LutherMax]

I make it 15 vows yet to be fulfilled - come on brothers you can do it!

[Lostiris]

Vow Complete

Is there a link to updated ETL stats?

12th week is the latest update (http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322374-e-tenebrae-lux-v/page-8?do=findComment&comment=4460282)

 

List of our vows / completions as of Semper's latest 'updated to this point' post are on page one of this thread.

[Xenith]

They're staying hidden until the finale, as per Semper's message last weekend, to maintain suspense :)

[The Unseen]

Ohh hell.

Is it the 15th already?

Life decided to kick me in the balls, but that's no excuse, since I've had a month.

Looks like I'll be staying up even later this morning to finish my vow.

Sleep can wait.

[Arkaniss]

Aww yeah! More completions rolling in keep up the excellent work peeps! :D

 

Cheers for the compliments, I've been experimenting with stubble for a while. Can be tricky but it really helps break up a blob of the same flesh colour as so many Marine heads are bald! I'm looking forward to fielding my new models next game I have.

 

You can do it The Unseen, where's the fun in it not being a last minute hurdle to challenge you? The tougher the journey the more rewarding it is to emerge triumphant at the end ;)
