Still doing final touches on the tacticals and the champion. Should be ready later today. I have also already started the terminators, so the situation doesn’t look that bad, yet. :)

 

The lack of speed is basically a result of my size 0 go-to brush starting to break. It has lost the tip completely, and starts to split in two if I use too little paint on it. It really makes it difficult to do the tiny details with it, and it looks that I will not have a replacement in any time soon. Probably need to learn to paint everythin with a size 1 brush.

Ok. I'm gonna do it.

I The4thHorseman rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Blood Angels and vow to complete 2 Armiger Helverins with Heavy Stubbers for a total value of 348pts on or before August 1st, 2018. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

ETL VI - WEEK 12 UPDATE

 

THIS IS THE LAST WEEKLY UPDATE BEFORE THE OFFICIAL CLOSING OF THE EVENT

+++ETL VI - WEEK 12 UPDATE+++

 

THIS IS THE LAST WEEKLY UPDATE BEFORE THE OFFICIAL CLOSING OF THE EVENT

 

As per tradition, there is no Weekly Update for Week 13 as it is so close to the end of the event. The ETL VI officially ends on August 1stat 17:00 GMT, so keep that in mind and organise your work accordingly. 

 

So this is the end of Week 12 – the most productive week of the ETL so far with 50.5k pts added leading to a total of 205k pts. The overall completion rate stood at 48%.

 

On a Faction level, the Astartes lead mostly on the back of the BAs spectacular performance with the AoD coming second (with a big margin) as the Loyalists are narrowing the gap with the Traitors – the latter having one of the highest completion rates in the event. Realm of Chaos is in third position as the Chaos Marines strong performance is still hampered by relatively low first vows completions and the Daemons and the LatD have yet to reach the desirable completion rates. IFOR is in fourth position led by the Astra Militarum and the AdMech but kept back by the Imperial Agents and the Deathwatch – while the Grey Knights have already achieved the 100% completion rate! Lastly the Xenos are a bit lagging behind despite the strong completion rates of the Necrons and the Orks. However the Tau are very close to register a significant jump in their score – it just did not happen by Week 12 – so some surprises may still come…

 

An overall advice at this point of the event: Forget strategy and long term planning, now is the time to act! Complete your outstanding vows and see what happens – completion rates is all that matters right now!

 

I will now further analyse Week 12 results:

BLOOD ANGELS:

And excellent performance throughout the ETL this year – but it’s not over yet. The BAs have by the end of Week 12 the highest score in the ETL if by only a SINGLE point ahead of Chaos Marines! This close a competition has never, ever occurred before in any ETL! No the truth of the matter is, that the BAs have expended more of their resources to achieve this with a completion rate of 63.6%. Still there is a lot of firepower still available to see them through in the next few days! Also, your position as leaders of the Astartes Faction seems pretty safe but it is not unheard of to have great fluctuations in Week 13 of even in the couple of days following Week 13 until the end of the event. Especially if your rival is the SMs that should they flex their muscles could have the tables turned. So keep the pace and never relax until it’s all over!

 

 

One point. That is how close it is going into the final week. For the ETL we have never been in this position before (and on the years Chaos won the event, they have never been second going into the final week). Not only are we still in the hunt for this year's triple crown, we are on course for our best ever ETL showing regardless of how it ends.

 

Before I go on, I must praise the phenomenal effort shown by our forum so far. We have dug deep and produced the goods and that is only down to you, the Frater. You have got on board with this project and let it get under your skin; you have helped and encouraged your fellow Frater; you have once again answered the call and shown what an amazing place our little corner of the B&C is and for that, you have my respect.

 

The event isn't over and now it where it counts. During ETL V we were cruising in third at this point of the competition, only to finish fifth despite registering our best ever ETL score and completion rate. However, this time out we're in a stronger position but it will count for naught if we don't get those vows in. Do what you can to finish. Not only will you feel great about having another completed model in your collection but can you imagine the euphoria if we break Chaos' stranglehold on the competition? The feel-good factor will last for ages! It will also go a little way towards our revenge against them for what they did to our father....

 

All I've ever asked is that you do what you can. Lets finish the job together.

More progress... nearly there...

Coming along nicely, you should have it done in a week :thumbsup:

 

Right, that's another 5 marines painted. Just another 5 to go, then bases on them and we're done. No idea if I'll manage, but we're on our way at least.

 

Five models, seven days, I have faith in you :smile.:

 

(remember that the bases aren't strictly necessary, that one is down to you and what you find to be complete. As mentioned before, if I manage a quick character vow, he'll have a temporary base to match my other temp-based models as I bulk base paint)

 

Still doing final touches on the tacticals and the champion. Should be ready later today. I have also already started the terminators, so the situation doesn’t look that bad, yet. :smile.:

 

The lack of speed is basically a result of my size 0 go-to brush starting to break. It has lost the tip completely, and starts to split in two if I use too little paint on it. It really makes it difficult to do the tiny details with it, and it looks that I will not have a replacement in any time soon. Probably need to learn to paint everythin with a size 1 brush.

Again, a completion depends on what you're happy with (within reason, obviously) so if you get everything to the point before using that brush and you're satisfied, then it's done. If not, try the old brush/bigger brush as see what happens :smile.:

 

I'm certain you'll get it done though!

Oh man, I'm catching the last minute vow fever too!

I, Slothysaur, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Blood Angels and vow to complete a Relic Sicaran Battle Tank armed with Lascannon Sponsons of total value 215 points on or before August 1st, 2018. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

gallery_85034_14559_294443.jpg

I've got the next four hours freed up and a new set of brushes. Painting ahoy!

Edit: Lascannons, not Twin Lascannons.

Doable in a week and a nice little follow up. Hope your painting block went well! :smile.:

Hmmm...to Final Vow or not to Final Vow?

 

Well, it's probably best to play it safe and do something small at this point...

 

Ok. I'm gonna do it.

 

I The4thHorseman rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Blood Angels and vow to complete 2 Armiger Helverins with Heavy Stubbers for a total value of 348pts on or before August 1st, 2018.

Whaaaaat?!? :jawdrop:

 

Tell me you have an easy scheme to do and some time off work/family/sleep/etc? All the best with the vow and I do believe it can be done, but you're going to have to motor some. Can't wait to see it though :tu:

Keep going guys, the Chaos Marines are in full speed! And don't forget your second and subsequent vows - they are way more important to you than they are for Chaos Marines...

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Yea. Just a Simple Malinax type scheme, and I had ordered Resin Bases Yesterday so they won't be here in time for the ETL so I can't exactly do the bases. But yea should be fine.

It went well! I have most of it done just have to hit some lenses on the turret and paint the left treads. Outside of that weathering will come much later (Maybe rts....).

On the same topic, the treads are not fun to paint.

What is this? It's so cool, I'm guessing Forge world.

Edit: OK never mind I saw the name and checked Forge world. Are they pretty effective on the table?
