Indefragable Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I Indefragable rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Blood Angels forum and vow to complete the below listed "Vow 1" units of total value 1622pts* on or before September 1st, 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end. *due to Red Thirst-like zeal on my part, I forgot to take pics before actually starting on some of them. As such these units marked with a *unit* will have their points value reduced by 25% for the purposes of scoring in ETL VII. Remember the lessons of Dante, fraters: bloodlust is useful so long as it does not take you out of position, for an early charge can be just as disastrous as a failed charge.

Indefragable Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I see the conversion world Spears are making their rounds! I have a bunch of their stuff. They strike the right balance of elegantly lethal aesthetic to me....just the way the BA should be. Jolemai 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indefragable Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 What a vow, Indy! Wish me luck. It's going to be a tight one, but I need to get stuff done. Kid on the way, due in October, and likely to be moving to a new place over the summer as well, so if I don't get this stuff done now, I may never. #holdthegates #notonestepbackwards #darkestbeforethedawn #finesthour Jolemai, Zebulon, Majkhel and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Been away from awhile and I didn't notice the ETL was going on while I finished my BA Librarian Dreadnought and Captain. But I'm assembling a unit of Suppressors at the moment. I can still make a first pledge? And Vanguard units are legal I assume, even though the Shadowspear units are not listed in the first post? I won't be able to do much in terms of models/points, but every little bit helps right? Yes, yes, yes Alright then! I, RedemptionNL, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the Blood Angels forum and vow to complete a Suppressor Squad of a total value of 105 points on or before September 1st, 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end. Not a big fan of the models, especially the wonky poses and the flight stands. Tried to alleviate it a bit by using some bits of scenery instead of those flimsy flight stands. Not totally happy with it, but it's the best I can do without totally cutting up and reposing the models - which I am no expert in - and risk making it even worse.

Captain Semper Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Welcome to the ETL RedemptionNL and Indefragable! It seems the BAs still have reserves to throw to the fight!

Glad to have you on board Red :) As stated, every little helps our cause and helps clear your backlog too :) As for the models, anything you do will improve them as it's your take on the models and with paint they should look better too - there was a time when I didn't like my Sicaran but I love her now having constructing her (twice), painting, and playing her on the field.

Slothysaur Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Got a little bit of progress going on. The libby dread is starting to take shape, one arm is just about done and the halberd arm is about halfway done. The main body has gotten a little bit of work on the not-armored-frame. Additionally I finished airbrushing my Astraeus so it's ready to get the brush once I've finished up the libby dread. Hoping to get a little more progress done this weekend, fingers crosed.
