Proud warriors of Fenris!

You have been hibernating for too long. Last year you astonished the Galaxy with your tenacity and determination – indeed the Champion of Champions came from your ranks. But the big prize eluded you... Will you allow the lesser Chapters to hold the title or will you take this opportunity to strike back?

Last year the performance of the Space Wolves was breath-taking. With fewer participants than the other top-ranking Chapters, and with one Mega-vow after another, you climbed to 3rd position with an impressive 27.4k pts. But can you beat that? Will your individualism prevail and become at last Primus Inter Pares?

FOR RUSS! FOR THE WOLFTIME!
 

 

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

 
 
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 entrants alike. The rules can be found here:
 

ETL II RULES

 

This thread is the “Chapter House” 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 in your “completion” post 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!

[stinkenheim]

I, Stinkenheim, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete a Wolf Lord, Rhino and Land Speeder Typhoon from Codex: Space Wolves of total value of 325 pts on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to Bjorn Stormwolf and the Space Wolves and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

For Russ and the All-father!

Point breakdown:
Wolf Lord, TDA, thunder hammer, storm shield, wolf tooth necklace and wolf tail talisman- 195pts
Land Speeder Typhoon- 90pts

Rhino with dozer blade- 40pts

[Captain Semper]

That's great stinkenheim - last year the wolves made an admirable campaing - let's hope they'll repeat it. This year's format is actually more friendly to SW style of few but point-rich vows... Let's see! Oh, and just realised, oojimabooj is not recognised as a number by the xls... funny that!

PLEASE NOTE: I'VE MADE A TYPO IN THE VOW (CORRECTED NOW). THE ETL ENDS ON AUGUST 15TH - PLEASE AMEND YOUR VOWS ACCORDINGLY!

[Rune Priest Jbickb]

I Jbickb answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete Arjac Rockfist and his 9 accompanying wolfguard terminators from Codex: Space Wolves of total value 610 on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to the Space Wolves and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

[WolfLordSam]

I, WolfLordSam, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete the Wolf Lord Harald Deathwolf and his unit of 4 Thunderwolf Cavalry from Codex: Space Wolves of total value 600 points on or before August 15th. Success will bring eternal glory to the Space Wolves, and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

 

Wolf Lord on TW + runic armor + SS + WC + 2FW + Wolf tail talisman + Wolftooth Neclace = 250

4x TWC + 4x SS + TH = 350

 

I may sub 3x Melta Bombs on the TWC in place of the talisman and necklace if my modeling abilities fail me.

[Captain Semper]

Very slow start Wolves... What happened to your heroes then? No match for the might of the First Legion?

@ WolfLordSam: Great contribution Wolf Lord - I just want to underline the fact that we need a measure of WYSIWYG. So all those talismans and necklaces - they better show up on the finished mini - not to mention the runic armour!

[Grimtooth]

Wait till you see the roster output options I am working on with Army Builder.

[Captain Semper]

Well I'm impressed Brother Ramses! This is some vow - both in size and presentation!

A few of you keep the banners flying - but where are the rest? Last year you lost second (and maybe first) position due to lack of resources... If you had deployed 3-4 more of your brothers you'd brobably have beaten the DAs to pulp... So rise Sons of Russ! Time are you Primus Inter Pares or not?

LIST UPDATED TO THAT POINT!

[SW1]

I, Riftblade, answer the call of the Tenebrae Lux & vow to complete Canis Wolf Born with 2 fenrisian wolves, 4 Swift Claw Bikers with an Attack Bike with Heavy Bolter & a Predator wit twin linked lascannons & sponson lascannons for 475 pts. I vow to complete this by August 15th.

[ErikThunderclaws]

Go, brothers! For Russ and the Allfather! I'm going to ask Captain Semper a couple of questions and then I'll know if I can join you.

[Captain Semper]

@ Rift Blade: It seems SW1 is right - you're penalising your vow by some 25 pts... I have amended it in the list - feel free to amend your vow too. :tu:

 

 

 

 

 

LIST UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Rune Priest Jbickb]

It appears that stinkheim was shorted 100 pts on the main list at the top.

[Squark]

So, before I make my vow, just confirming I understand the rules correctly; I vow to complete a number of complete units, and state their point values. I then post a before picture showing that they were unpainted before I began the vow. when the vow is completed, the point value of my value is added to the base Space Wolves total. If I fail this or any subsequent vow I make, all the points I earned for the chapter are lost, Correct? And everything has to be WYSIWYG, of course. Any critical things I've missed? Assuming I understand things correctly, I'll probably have a small vow of my own to make- Also, just checking- I've got a fair number of models with only the basecoat of Fenrisian Grey (or maybe not even the full coat). Those models are not eligible for this vow, correct?

[Captain Semper]

A perfect summary of the rules! :)

 

Go ahead sir!

[Squark]

So, with that in mind, I'll start small.

 

I, Squark, Answer the call of E Tenerbrae Lux and vow to complete a Wolf Priest and 7 Grey Hunters on or before August 15. Success will bring eternal glory to Vlyka Fenryka and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

 

Points (255) Breakdown

7 Grey Hunters -140 points

-Plasmagun, Power Axe, Wolf Standard

 

Wolf Priest -115 points

-Saga of the Hunter, Wolf Tail talisman

[Captain Semper]

It appears that stinkheim was shorted 100 pts on the main list at the top.

 

He was indeed - thanks for pointing it out. Corrected! :)

 

 

 

LIST UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Russ Brother 92]

I'm not vowing as yet but if work settles down, I have very nice new Thunderwolves that need paint haha - and I like painting fur :) - so you may well see some hefty points with few models coming :D
