Dark Angels,

The Inner Circle is calling again for this year’s E TENEBRAE LUX Challenge. Brave warriors of the Lion, we’ve been through a lot together! We triumphed in the LPC-12 reaching an unprecedented 81% completion rate. We came second in last year’s ETL painting a hefty 34.7k points between us. We took the Path to Redemption for six consecutive months and triumphed again in this year’s LPC-13!

Brothers, we have proven that we are a force to be reckoned with and others rightly fear us. But the big prize eludes us. We have yet to win the ETL.

So are we going to draw on the might of the Unforgiven and utterly destroy our rivals? Can we beat last year’s 34.7 pts? Can we become Primus Inter Pares?

TILL THE SWORD IS REFORGED!

 

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

Well, this is the return of the ETL. There is some streamlining of the rules compared to last year so please read them carefully veterans and new participants alike. The rules can be found here:

 

ETL II RULES

 

 

This thread is the “Strategium” for this event. All vows of this sub-forum should be posted in this very thread in order to be valid. This is also the place to declare vow completions and/or vow renewals. Finally posting your WIP thread links will be tremendously helpful! This is a big event guys, so making life easier for me, will help avoid confusion and backs ‘n forths…

You can also use this thread to gauge the progress of your forum (last year’s veterans know I’ll update often) and compare it with other forums in their respective threads. It will also be a good place to talk to each other as how to go about it, and organize your forum effort.

If you want to refresh your memory of what happened last year, see the ETL I - Final report

I’ll be glad to answer any questions as we go along and I will keep track of all forums’ efforts. So I’m the person you need to talk to for anything regarding the procedures of this competition but your forum Moderators still have full control of the Meltas and they will gladly use all of them given half a chance... So be aware of that!

to keep in character, a small group of participants should decide the DA strategy in secret and then never tell anyone else but try to enact it by pulling strings from the shadows.

How do we know they haven't begun doing this already?

I, pbenner, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete (1) 10 man Deathwing Terminator Squad, Composed of;

 

1x Sargent with Stormbolter and Powersword

2x Powerfist and Assault Cannon

7x Powerfist and Stormbolter

 

for a grand total of 480pts on or before August 15th.  Success will bring Glory to the Dark Angels Chapter, and failure will force upon me the Badge of Shame until the end of the year, or the inquisitors release me.  

 

Okay, so...

 

I think I'll start here.  This is the first of two "complete" 10 man squads I have.  I only have one Assault Cannon painted and assembled, so this is good.  My 2nd vow will be that next squad and it should weigh in at around 500 points.  If I get both of those done, I will reward myself, and my 3rd vow will be Contemptors x3.  Hopefully work doesn't bite me, but it usually does.  

 

Good luck all, paint well, and hopefully no more broken bones for this forum!

 

Paul

Can I just get some confirmation on the end date? Is it settled now on August 15th? With 5 weeks I can contribute at least a thousand points but my impending tour of Australia is putting the brakes on anything further

Just wanted to wish the Dark Angels Forums great luck.  My support goes with my fellow dark angels.  Sadly I wont be participating with you guys in this challenge, and my Angels of Vengeance are on the back burner.  Itching to paint my sisters instead, and although I would have had vastly more points to paint up for the Dark Angels team, I am just going where my motivation lies at this summer.   

Can't wait to see all the awesome Dark Angel Units get painted.   

 

Again,  FOR THE FIRST!!!!!

My first is going to be a small vow so I can test out my airbrush. But I want to get my foot in the door so I can vow later, and I also figured since I'm doing the work it might as well count towards something, right?

 

Anyway,

 

I elphilo answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete 2 Whirlwinds from Codex: Dark Angels of total value 130 on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to Dark Angels Chapter/Legion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.
