Right folks, so basically I messed up. This should have been up yesterday but I forgot it was Monday and fell asleep having had to re-settle one of the kids :blush.:

 

It will be up momentarily.

 

Have been told this happens a lot at easter when you pack ~9kg of chocolate into a ~23kg child... 

So you didn't count Arkaniss's Land Speeder as completed after all, Jolemai? Thought it was good - the crewman was there there. Only "cargo" was missing from the picture. But cargo does not make a transport, only an ability to carry one, doesn't it?

Oh? I didn't know about this. Where can I find all the stats for the stratagems for B&Z?

Jolemai - massive props for running the event. I’ve got at least 15 models built that I otherwise wouldn’t have at this point.

 

I may have accidentally gotten excited and painted my scouts and captain before etl... but definitely got a lot of valuable push out of B&Z even beyond etl. Many thanks for the nudge.

sml_gallery_62972_10568_1098.jpg Summary

Blood & Zeal was one of first build events to appear on the B&C. As an ETL-prequel event, it's goal was a simple one: to get our models build and ready for the ETL, and to have some fun along the way. In this regard, the event was a success with the two Factions amassing just shy of 1700 PL of models ETL ready! However, the event has had a few teething problems, one of which being the lateness of this summary and for that I cannot apologise enough.

Blood & Zeal was split into seven catagories. Each Faction vied to win a category, with the competition winner being the Faction with the most category wins. How did you Faction get on? On to the scores where each category winner is highlighted red:

HQ

Black Templars: 311 - 419 :Blood Angels

Elites

Black Templars: 207 - 344 :Blood Angels

Troops

Black Templars: 133 - 149 :Blood Angels

Fast Attack

Black Templars: 18 - 97 :Blood Angels

Heavy Support

Black Templars: 18 - 48 :Blood Angels

Dedicated Transports

Black Templars: 16 - 15 :Blood Angels

Flyer

Black Templars: 0 - 15 :Blood Angels

The winning Faction for Blood & Zeal 2018 is the Blood Angels!

This was an extremerly hard fought event and as you can see, the Blood Angels were pushed hard for every victory to the point where the Black Templars were finally rewarded with a category win to stop a Blood Angels whitewash.

Total PL score

Black Templars: 703 - 988 :Blood Angels

These numbers are seriously impressive. There was a small core of Frater (on both sides) that kept grinding out models to keep the motivation going for others and this paid off with the sheer amount of models on display. Whilst I haven't got the exact numbers, it was brilliant to see so many of you attempt conversions to grab the bonus points and the stratagems from both sides were amongst the most inspirational of threads I've seen of late.

It wasn't just glory and banter the Factions were fighting for, but some snazzy signature bling. For Blood & Zeal, we have opted for the modular badge - first pioneered during ETL III the modular badge is a solution to the cramped space of our signatures.

The idea is simple, it's a badge of two halves (a top and a bottom). On top is the Blood & Zeal banner and is 400x50:

The bottom half is modular and consists of many 50x50 badges that can be used to keep your track record as well as some blank ones that can be used to complete the space and have a proper rectangular shape.

Champion:

From here, you build your own banner. Take the banner top and then on the line underneath - with no spaces or pressing enter on the keyboard - add the categories you completed, any special badges, and the blanks to complete the rectangle.

For example, here's mine. I only completed the HQ, Troops, and Elites category so I get to use those category badges, the champion badge, and four blanks to make up the banner:

It should look something like this:

... and with that, Blood & Zeal is brought to a close. I hope you enjoyed the event and thank you all to those who participated and made the event fun. All being well, Blood & Zeal will return new and improved in the future and who knows, will the Black Templars come out on top this time? They have to beat the Blood Angels in the ETL VI first!
