Well I’ve finished my Deathriders!

 

That’ll be another 10pts on the board!

 

Heres the proof :

I'm going to be busy tomorrow, so here's an early Sunday WIP:

 

 

These have been a fun little crew. My objective for the week is to get the other 5 to this standard and based alongside my Astartes vow by Friday... then finishing touches (e.g. hair, flames blue wires, scroll/book text) on all 12 on Saturday and Sunday next weekend to complete the vow in next week's update. 

 

Cheers,

 

The Good Doctor.

-  STATE OF THE EVENT -

WE ARE NOW 1/2 WAY DONE (as of August 1)

 

 

Half way into the event, and its time for some more stats!  Since the 2 week mark, we have 9 new participants (total of 69) and are up 25 vows (to 96), and have inceased our vowed points by 660.5 (to 3,752).  We are also doubled our Master of the Forge entries (to 10) 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 is still heresy at 1270 (which is up 103 pnts).  They also still have to 2 highest strongest subfactions in terms of vowed points - For the Emperor at 709 (up 93) and For the Warmaster at 582 (up 10).

 

Although its still anybody's game (such that it isn't particularly meaningful at this point), the Imperium still has the highest completion rate of 32.06% of pledged points completed, though Xenos is close on its heels at 31.56%.  The other 3 are far behind at 15.83% (Astartes), 7.01% (Chaos) and Heresy in the rear with 4.96%).  In terms of raw points of completed vows (rather than %), Xenos is in the lead with 287, followed by Astartes at 103 and the rest still in the double digit - 67 for Imperium, 63 for Heresy and Chaos at the tail with 50.

Deathwatch in the Imperium forum is still the only subforum with a 100% completion rate.

 

@Antarius still has the most completed points, having completed 3 vows in two strongholds worth 174 pnts (up 61 points and 1 vow from the 2 week point).  In terms of vote diverstity, however, @Dr. Clock is in the lead, with vows in 4 of the 5 Strongholds - the next closest are the 10 members with vows in 2 strongholds.  Highest total vows is still @SgtSharp, with his massive vow of 419 for the Emperor in the Heresy forum, followed by, in the same stronghold, by 365 for the Warmaster from @GodEmperorOfMankind.

 

All the subfactions have persons vowing their models to them, except Genestealer Cultists, Adepta Sorroritas, Adeptus Mechanicus and Imperial Knights. 

 

Is great to see all the fantastic models being painted, and I look forward to seeing what all comes out by my next update a month from now!

Sunday update with Vow Complete:

 

 

Also, turns out my calculation on the points here was off... I didn't realize:

 

1) the cherub is not a 'model', but a counter 

 

2) The Priest is a Character. 

 

I had the group all together as 12, but after -(0.5) and +(4), it comes out at 15.5.

 

Looking forward to getting these on the table with full Agents list this week! 

 

Cheers,

 

The Good Doctor.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

@Dr. Clock - your new calculations make sense, and I'll change your vow when I do my weekly update.

Here’s the second part of my vow, a Krieg Artillery Team :

 

Krieg Artillery Team 

 

Next up will be 10 more Korpsmen for the grinder!

[Dr_Ruminahui]

I missed the proper time to announce this 10 days ago (sorry about that), but better late than never.

WE ARE NOW 2 MONTHS [and a bit] (and 2/3 of the way [and a bit]) INTO THE EVENT

THERE ARE NOW 3 WEEKS REMAINING

As a reminder, all vows must be completed on or before September 15, 2025.

[Karhedron]

Well, the summer holidays are drawing to a close and the end of the event is now in sight but I think there is just time to squeeze in a small third and final pledge.

 

I, Karhedron, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint 6 Tempestus Scions (counts-as Voidsmen) for 6 points for the Glory of the Imperial Knights and the Imperium Stronghold on or before 15th September 2025, or bear the badge of failure until year's end.

 

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Reporting Page updated - please review to ensure your entry is correct (subfaction, link, models vowed, point value, entry into Master of the Forge).  There are now 2 WEEKS REMAINING - all completed vows must be submitted on or before September 15.

 

I will post my end of August summary tomorrow.

[Dr_Ruminahui]

-  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.

[The Pounder]

Here’s the last part of my vow!

 

Death Korps of Krieg 

 

@Dr_Ruminahui, I can only claim 9 pts for this completion as I used the test model I finished before the event.

 

Thanks very much for running the event, it’s helped me no end with motivation!

 

Did you want me to take a pic of the whole vow?

[The Pounder]

@Dr_Ruminahui, here’s the pic for my Sentinel and Lord Solar.

 

I will claim only 1pt for the Sentinel as part of the short fall on my Infantry.

 

I will also vow to complete my Lord Solar before the end of the event.

 

He will be worth 5pts if I’m not mistaken?
 

 

[Dr_Ruminahui]

For clarity, what is occurring is @The Pounder painted one of his vowed infantry models prior to the event, so I'm allowing him to swap his sentinel in instead, without a points increase of his vow.  That's what I did when something similar happened in the Chaos Stronghold, as it seems the fairest resolve for all participants.

 

The Pounder, I'll add the sentinel to your first vow and add your second consisting of 1x Lord Solar (for 5 points) when I do my regular update on Monday.
