- STATE OF THE EVENT -

WE ARE ALMOST DONE (2 weeks left as of September 1)

We are in the final legs of this race, and this is your last chance for useless stats until the event is all wrapped up! Since the 1/2 way mark, we have2 new participants (total of 71) and are up 17 vows (to 112), and have inceased our vowed points by 415 (to 4,167). We are bumped up our Master of the Forge entries from 10 to 12 and still have no Young Bloods. If you think I have missed anything or anyone, please let me know here or by message.

Leading stronghold in vowed points remains Heresy at 1369 (which is up 99 pnts). They also still have to 2 highest strongest subfactions in terms of vowed points - For the Emperor at 777 (up 68) and For the Warmaster at 592 (up 10).

Although its still anybody's game, Astartes has pulled into the lead in terms of percentage of points in completed vows, with 43,23% (up from 15.83), with Xenos close on its tail at 42.59% (up from 31.56%). Former leader the Imperium has slumped to 3rd at 39.38% (previously 32.06%) of pledged points completed, with Chaos and Heresy retaining their previous positions (Chaos is up to 22.42% from 7.01 and Heresy is up to 10.52% from 4.96%). So, an amazing rally by Astartes.

In terms of raw points of completed vows, Xenos maintains the lead at 436.5 (up from 287), still followed by Astartes, now at 311.5 (from 103), with Chaos rising from last to 3rd with 189 (previously 50), the Heresy at 144 (previously 63) and Imperium dropping swapping places with chaos and now in the rear with 82.5 (previously 67).

There are now two subfactions with 100% completion rates, both in Imperium - Deathwatch with 45 points in 1 completed vow, and Imperium of Mankind with 2 completed vows (from different members) worth 37.5. All factions have at least one member representing them except the same from last time - Genestealer cults, Sisters and Mechanicus. Imperial Knights have slipped out of the list, having obtained a supporter (but no vowed knights).

In terms of partipations, Astartes has the most participating frater at 24, followed by Xenos with 21, Chaos with 18, Heresy with 17 and finally Imperium with just 7. So, asides from poor Imperium, the level of participation (and least in terms of the number of individual members) is remarkably even. That said, individuals may participate in several strongholds - the Board champion at doing that remains @Dr. Clock, who has vows totaling 56.5 points (all but 6 points of which are completed) across all forums but Heresy - I guess the good doctor is strictly a 40K player.

In terms of total number of vows, Xenos leads with 32 (14 completed), then Astartes with 30 (14 completed), then Chaos and Heresy are tied at 22 (9 completed in Chaos, 8 in Heresy) and Imperium with 7 (3 of which are completed).

@SgtSharp remains since my first update the participant with both the biggest single vow and the most vowed points, all 419 of which are for the Emperor in the Heresy forum. He's painted a ton of militia this event, but still has a bunch more to complete his vow. @Antarius remains the member (again since update 1) with the most points in completed vows, with 4 completed vows across 3 strongholds worth 248 points (up 74 from last review), but still has 2 vows worth 49 points in the works.

Fantastic work by everyone so far - its always fantastic to see pictures of all the completed models. Just one last push - hopefully everyone can get their vows completed. And as a final reminder all vows must be submitted before the end of September 15 (Pacific Coast time) to be valid.
