+++E Tenebrae Lux II - Black Templars Strategium+++

[Firepower]

Yay, we brought Eberious out of hiding! :D

[redmapa]

I, DasPanzerIstUber, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to

complete 1 Predator Executioner of total value 185 points on or before August 15th. Success

will bring eternal glory to The Black Templars and failure will doom me

to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

 

Anyone clarify this one is legal? If not then I'll change to a Destructor.

 

it is legal, I also have a predator executioner on my vow and the captain hasnt said anything about it

 

 

The first subcategory is Forgeworld models that carry the “40k approved” seal. These must be entered as they are presented in the relevant Forgeworld publication and priced accordingly. It should be explicitly mentioned in the Forgeworld publication that the unit can be used by the Codex the participant is entering for. 

 

there's the rule for FW units, as long as they have the 40k stamp and not the apocalypse one then its fair game

[Captain Semper]

@ DasPanzerIstUber: the executioner is fine. In the experimental rules in clearly states it can be used in the 40k context and by the BTs. So good luck to ya! :tu:

 

@ ShottyScotty:  Exactly what Redmapa said. The T-Hawk is considered to be Apoc-only - hence incompatible with the ETL rules.

 

 

 

LIST UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

--Edit--

Adding my WIP thread here from post #18

[Dennis]

Long time no see, will always stay a lurker but I'm seduced into painting some templars once again (I'm purely collecting now, sold quite a bit of my 'unpainted' collection!).

 

I Dannis, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete:

 

- Emperors Champion [90]

- 5 Initiates /w Powerweapon + Flamer [96]

- Droppod [30]

 

 

from Codex: Black Templars of total value 216 on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to the Black Templars and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end

 

Edit:

Thread here

[Captain Semper]

Some crazy vows there from the most fanatical of fanatics! :lol: Good luck to all!

 

Well the BTs appear to wake up from their slumber and get some more participants in. Remember, this is the recruiting period; vows and more points you can add later but after June 15th no more can enter the ETL!

 

 

 

 

LIST UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Firepower]

Yay, and Dannis is back too

This is bull pucks I gotta be one of the only crotchety old buggers around here til a painting competition picks up. Then everyone comes back and I'm stuck batting for the Liber!

[Brother Virngrath]

Guys I'm getting a whole new set of paints and everything I'll need next weekend including some nice new bits so I'll probably join in then to add to the eternal crusade.

[redmapa]

A question for the good captain semper

 

regarding count-as units, lets say I have 4 leman russes with Battle Cannons, can I paint them with another paint scheme (red, metal and gold) and count them as BT predator tanks armed with something else? like an autocannon or a heavy conversion beamer? in reality these tanks are for my IG so thats why Im asking if I can count them as predators or not

 

Thank you.

[Captain Semper]

@ Redmapa: Sorry mate - regarding your Leman Russes: too much. What you effectively want to do (if I read you correctly) is work on two different armies and have BTs benefitting from both... I have to rule against it. Sorry - good try though!

[Brother Ulkesh]

I, Brother Ulkesh, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete 1 Emperor's Champion [90], 1 Marshall (terminator armour, thunder hammer, storm shield, adamantine mantle)[185], 1 terminator command squad (4 sword bretheren, 2 assault cannons, 1 chainfist, 4 crusader seals)[213] & 1 stormtalon gunship (skyhammer missile launcher) [125] from Codex: Black Templars of total value 613 pts on or before August 15th.

LIST UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Psykic_scribe]

This is definitely a challenge for me as due to other commitments, I am unable to make much progress on these until after 15^th June, so no chance of five vows. But maybe every little group of points counts.

@ Urkh: Well no, you do not have to paint bases. Frankly it's what YOU consider to be a finished model for YOUR collection. A single lick of paint is adviseable though...

@ Marshal Roujakis: Imressive... most impressive young Skywalker.. Paint in any order that you like!

+++FIRST WEEKLY UPDATE+++

[Firepower]

Looking good so far boys and grils, but not good enough just yet.

 

I've been told Jasper's keeping a paddleum on ice to add just that slight bit of extra cold stingage. ;)

[tvih]

Bah, so annoyingly delayed in my starting painting. Mostly because I have trouble getting Chaos Black spray to work on the infantry that I'd like to do first, but also need the spray for vehicles too.

[Mystech1]

So...

 

why haven't you posted a vow...

 

yes you...

[Dark Scipio]

Dont worry my brothers, My vow is nearly about to be vowed, I must just find this Contemptor I have....

[Brother Sellsword]

I'm moving on Friday. My vow will be posted as soon as I unpack.
