No worries brother, 3 Grey Hunters unarmed are worth any number of the scions of the Lion. The strength of the oath-breakers is puny compared to the might of the pack! Forward, for FENRIS!

That way they'll work unit size wise, and give the Wolves tally a few extra points. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipherChost Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I altered my post so I have an actual unit sized pack. If by luck I can do more I will so this should work as a starting point, I hope to get moved and set up to paint another item or two by the end of it all. Maybe a whirlwind and or some Fen Wolves.

Captain Semper Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Updated everything to this point. The Wolves certainly pick up some momentum! @ Forte: You seem to have a friend in the shape of WLK. It's good to have one friend but do you have any other? Truth is if WLK delivers on his oath you've done your bit. But if he fails? You need some contingency plans! Bring in more Wolves to help - remember the point is not only for me to paint a squad pack of Wolf Guard (and whatshisname Arjac?) but to actually win the DAs as a whole! To present any real Challenge you need to submit some 5,000 points MORE. :lol: * Now I'm going to buy some grey paints, just to be on the safe side y'know?* @ WLK: WHAT A VOW! The largest so far! Good luck to you mate - but be careful: if you fail there is a long way to fall! ;) 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_SW.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...
Russ Brother 92 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've updated my vow (in the original vow post) to add in a Dreadnought w/ Assault Cannon, Heavy Flamer and DCCW he would be 115pts - thus my overall total would become: 1271 Points - albeit a way off from WLK's massive vow - but given time and patience I'm looking at breaking the 2k mark by mid-late june, potentially hitting 2.5k by the finish :tu: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have edited the above post after taking out the illegal extra arms ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hold your horses there Russ Brother! :D You cannot get additional points from weapons through magnetizing or not gluing. Each vow should be a standalone entry from the Codex. Work out the most expensive combo and pledge for it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Brother 92 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 fair enough - I'll stick to the basic purely because I've actually started on them, I've edited both the vow and post further up - thanks for the info and sorry brother :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Alright, so fortunately you caught me just as I was about to start repainting a good chunk of my army. I'll need a day or two to figure out how much I can paint in two(?) months, but expect a rather hefty vow. At some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been reworking my Wolves slowly but saw this and decided to speed things up slightly. the only question i have is how many more points am i going to add to this vow before i'm finished!

truesonofruss Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I the True Son Of Russ will take up the vow and put forth 1 10 man pack of Grey Hunters + 1 Logan Grimnar totaling 425 points to the Wolves. Also adding the possibility that I will add a Land Raider Crusader near June 15th if the first part of my vow completes as it should in my mind.

Captain Semper Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 OK, I updated the first page... You guys are doing great! You are now at 9,400 points! BUT the bet here is to deliver! So good luck to all of you! I also added a small (f) next to those vows that came in support of Forte's call! Well done Forte - but remember, these hefty vows carry a lot of risk - so bring in more... This is a marathon not a sprint! :) P.S. This Arjac fellow is costly no? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 You'll find there's as much competition between the Wolves here as there is between us and other chapters B) I've witnessed a lot of completed vows here and have a lot of faith in my brother's. I'll even let them have first swing in the next brawl. Won't promise not to launch them out the window after mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
