+++E Tenebrae Lux II - Liber Astartes Strategium+++

[Toxichobbit]

I figured as much would happen.... I should have just vowed the pods from the get go but thought I would want to do some infantry in there too.... Now I wish I had, cause quite frankly I realise all too soon that I need a break from drop pods....

 

You can always do more vows. Get the pods done for your first vow and then do infantry, other vehicles and characters for the remaining four.

 

 

 

 

I've done a bit of totaling of points values pledged so far. You'll all be pleased to hear that the Liber/Index/Ultra alliance is about 3.5k above any other faction. Still, it's very early days and we need to complete our vows for them to count, so keep up the good work and keep vowing :).

[Lord Lee]

Hi Cambrius 

The scheme is an adaptation of a way old scheme of mine, base black, dry brush bolt gun sliver, shoulder pads in khorne red, pad edges in white, the centre part of the back pack in khorne red, eyes in yellow, apply white transfers to both shoulders, gun case in white, paint the little details like pouches or purity seals, heavy wash with null oil, highlight the boltgun metal with a bright silver and base. 

See easy :)

Lord Lee.

[Brother Cambrius]

So like this then Lee?

Do they have a symbol or name? :)

 

Cambrius

[War Angel]

That looks really cool.....

[Lord Lee]

Thats pretty much it, as for a name I've gone for Heralds of Absolution but I don't have a symbol as such, just some of the chapter symbols from their original chapters. Ie  all of the dark vengeance marines have DA symbols, my chaplain is a former Ultramarine and my assault marines are former Blood Angels etc.

 

The Background ive done nothing on yet but once everyone's painted it will be fun :)

Lord Lee.

[Brother Cambrius]

Looking forwards to seeing it when it's all done then Lord Lee! Best of luck!

[Captain Semper]

War Angel, your vow is in - apologies... :)

[War Angel]

I know it's only 70 points, and may not count for much.... But to me it means a lot lol

[Captain Semper]

It means a lot to me too. Thank you for participating!

 

Besides how would everybody feel if Codex faction was to lose for 69pts? Everybody would wish for two drop pods then! :devil:

[War Angel]

If we win by anything less than 69 points, I'll feel like a super hero.

[Aqui]

I know it's only 70 points, and may not count for much.... But to me it means a lot lol

 

Points matter not, effort, participation and teamwork does ^_^

[Firepower]

I know it's only 70 points, and may not count for much.... But to me it means a lot lol

Points matter not, effort, participation and teamwork does

Wait a sec, this is gonna require effort? I didn't think this through...

[Captain Semper]

Well Firepower it seems the Liberites share your views and only the most brave have committed so far! C'mon guys, on Wednesday the first Weekly Update will hit - do you want to be the weakest link in the Codex faction?

GO LIBER!

EDIT: I'm talking about participation here - not points pledged... We have plenty of time for the latter!

[Vorganov]

Well, Space Marines Captain is finished and sealed now, 10 scouts waiting for some paints. Unfortunately i have decide that I have to wait for boonie hats for them, I hope they will come from good old England soon. As soon as I buy batteries to my camera, I will make some photos... Ineed to be finished fast to enter additional vows...

@ Lord Lee:

@ elohimalpha: Sorry for missing your vow before - my bad. I'll make sure to add it tomorrow in the Liber list! More to do with my reading comprehension than yours... :tu:

[War Angel]

What was the biggest vow last year?

[Captain Semper]

It was 3,999pts by WLK of  the Space Wolves.

 

It seems, this year things are going on a different scale! :D

[arizonajirt]
