Captain Semper Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 ..so the forum with the most points painted wins? Yes as long as they are "legal" units from your Codex. Simple, no? But be careful: if you make subsequent vows (which you can if you complete your initial vow) and fail to complete, then the previously completed vows are nullified as well. Only raise the stakes if you are confident! Only the brave will emerge victorious! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxes Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Would anyone have a problem on vow entries based on either FW Mk:IV or FW Chaplain dreadnought models as foundations for Furioso's? If it's a green light, I might get in on this action. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Would anyone have a problem on vow entries based on either FW Mk:IV or FW Chaplain dreadnought models as foundations for Furioso's? If it's a green light, I might get in on this action. Cheers! FW is covered in the Challenge Rules. Power armour Mks are most welcome - we really like to see people painting up a variety of marks. Dreadnought Mks are also the very welcome provided they have loadouts that are allowed in the Codex or the rules of the FW mini clearly state they can be used as a Codex entry. Now if you want to use a Chaplain Dread that "counts as" a Furioso that's dead simple! enter a vow for a Furioso (load outs, points costs an'all) and you're good to go.

TheHarrower Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I already did my vow, but I was wondering if I made a Las/Plas Turret for my Razorback if I would net us an additional 35 points?

MadGreek Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Sorry, quick question. I have never participated in one of these before, and am thinking of getting in to motivate myself to paint.

MithrilForge Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 @ Captain Semper, can you update me into this pls, i have added my vow a few posts from the start of the thread(it was a reserve post at the start,so it would have been overlooked) cheers mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Everything is updated to this point - excellent stuff guys but you are still behind BTs (not to mention DAs) and only marginally ahead of the SW that actually begin to mobilize! @ Mythrilforge: thx for the heads-up! I updated the table accordingly. Sorry, quick question. I have never participated in one of these before, and am thinking of getting in to motivate myself to paint. We make the vow here, and then start a topic in our Subforum (Blood Angels for me) where we post the pics? Well as one mad Greek to another here's how it works: You make a vow here. If you make it anywhere else it won't count. Here is the "Chapter House" of the BAs. There is a similar thread to all eligible forums. Then you can make a new thread with your WIP (either here in the BAs forum or the the WIP forum in the PCA section - your call). But it will be helpful to make a link to your vow post post so we can keep track. Alternatively you can post the pics straight in this thread. It's a bit messy but legit. Hope this helps. Feel frre to ask further questions or PM me. Look fwd for your vow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 E TENEBRAE LUX – 1st WEEK UPDATE http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/DA_Challenge_vs_BA.jpg This is the first weekly update of the ETL Challenge. In this update (and the ones that will follow) I’ll try to compile the overall picture of the ETL and how it’s developing so all can have a quick understanding of the overall situation. So with no further ado and as at 16:00 GMT here’s the situation: E TENEBRAE LUX – WEEK 1 Black Templars 18 6,451 358 Blood Angels 17 5,878 347 Dark Angels 27 12,020 445 Index Astartes 8 2,075 259 Liber Astartes 3 1,325 442 Space Wolves 12 7,225 602 Ultramarines 5 1,994 399 Chaos 16 4,281 268 Ordos Inquisition 5 1,203 241 Total 111 42,472 383 - - - - Codex Space Marines 16 5,394 337 Some early comments:The Dark Angels have the highest number of vows and the highest point-count with significant difference from the second (currently the Wolves). This raises the stakes for the competition. Obviously it’s completed points that will win the day but number of participants also carries significant weight to achieve that. So people need to flock to their favorite forums/Chapters and pledge vows – it’s still early on, everything can change!The Wolves have highest points/vow ratio and currently they are second in total points pledged. That means that those committed have done so with big vows (in true Wolfish manner), which also entails big risks. It also means that if they maintain their average at 600 they’ll require another 8 participants to reach the pledged points of the DAs (assuming no more DAs submit vows – yeah right!)Black Templars mean serious business. With fairly high points/vow ratio and some serious commitment they have managed a very respectable 3rd place for far. Look forward to see what else they have stored for us – one has to remember their strong performance in the LPC to realize they are a force to be reckoned with! Well done guys (so far :tu:).Blood Angels are also strong in the game with the third largest amount of vows. However their points/vow ratio is lower than the Templars and it shows on the total point count. But here we have the Champions of two consecutive LPC’s and a Chapter known for its artistic inclination – so I think there are some Aces in their sleeves yet. What they basically lack is a couple of hefty vows (close or above the 1,000pts mark) to tip the balance.Chaos is also putting up a fight with 16 participants but they also lack a couple of super vows (something close to 1,000 mark) to bring them at par with the other forums. As it happens is has lowest points/vow ratio among the big players. Codex Space Marines forums are showing a significant lack of vows among them although from what I’ve seen there is no lack of talent. LA sports a fairly high points/vow ratio but with only 3 vows so far it can be misleading. On the other hand if all the C:SM forums were put together as one the picture would be much more competitive: 5,394pts and 16 vows between them – they are certainly not far from the other forums. Hmmmmmm… see where I’m going with this? ;)Ordos Inquisiton has an aura of heroism about it. Only 5 vows but very brave to face the challenge of the other mega-forums! Kudos to you purest of soul! You make all of us proud!Before I conclude this first update I need to make a special mention to the two participants that already completed their vows, namely ZAChos from Index Astartes and Yogi from the Chaos forum. Furthermore ZAChos renewed his vow making him the first participant to raise the stakes! Congrats to both of you guys [but ZAChos is still in the game – so be careful mate! ;)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Deceit Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 “I Imperial Deceit answer the challenge of the Unforgiven and vow to complete Death Company Dreadnoughtwith heavy flamer and blood talons from Codex: Blood Angels of total value 135 points on or before August 15.

Captain Semper Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 So, the Angels of Blood... The once dominant power in the painting front... Guys the BA forum has currently pledged 5.6k points. This means you are behind the DAs (12.7k), the SWs (11k), the BTs (9.5k) and the forums that use the C:SM (6.5k). Remember the old days where you were the painting forum, winning LPC after LPC (well two LPC's actually :unsure: )? Are you going to stand by your legacy? Or are you going to throw in the towel? I think it's time for a counter attack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Guard Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hey Captain, looks like the Sons of Sanguinius are yesterday's champions ... a bit like when ol' Sangi got his back broken by a bloodthirster !! :P ... ;) May be the fire has gone out... perhaps the Unforgiven are the true Angels of Death!! ;) SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Ok - could this be a comeback? Could this be that the BAs still have it in them to claim the position of the Champion? Well done Taz and good luck! I'll update the front table later today (in 8 hours from now give or take ;)) EDIT: Sorry Taz I didn't read your vow carefully before - you can't claim points for multiple loadouts or magnetized bits. You need to choose a paritcular configuration. I will upadate your vow for now but please work out the new point value and PM it to me. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
