Clearly the Chaos faction will have the most oath breakers, seeing as they all betrayed their vows to the Emperor...

We only had three true oath breakers: they Vowed their Souls to chaos and failed to deliver. Their souls are forfeit and in the hands of the true gods now. Lucky bastards.

We don't need oaths to show our dedication any more. It's can be seen in our flesh and our actions.

AoD had 33 Full /5 Partial Oath Breakers, out of 95 Participants.

We had 37 complete 1 vow (3 of those had a second, incomplete vow), 18 complete 2 vows (2 of those had a third, incomplete vow), 4 complete 3 vows, and 5 complete 5 vows.

Five of our completions were full 3,000 pt vows.

Section 5 – Captain Semper's closing notes

This was it for the fourth ETL. I'd like to thank each and everyone of you for taking part and maintaining the high level of commitment, camaraderie and, as usual excellent, conduct! The B&C is indeed the best 40k community by a huge margin! To those who completed their vows, hearty congratulations, you can now put on your Custos Fidei! For those who failed, it's the equally cool (if not cooler) badge of the Oath Breaker and of course next year!

This year has been special in many ways. First the Primus Inter Pares was again Chaos for a second time running! Secondly we saw a new faction coming to life: the Adeptus Mechanichus. Thirdly there have been releases of new Codices (SMs and DAs) and a HH book during the life of the event, the fist time to face such a situation. Thankfully this did not disrupt the flow of the event and everything went smoothly to the end. Lastly the HH faction has emerged as a dominant power, that although it did not win this year it is bound to make its presence felt in the future as the ultimate ETL power.

Furthermore we had the new mechanics that led to the completion rate to become a factor to determine each faction's final score. As it happened the impact of this new twist in the rules was minimal this year but the potential is great. HH almost lost second place to IFOR because of that. So the rule remains as it adds an extra incentive for completing. Combined with the limitation to each vow to 3,000 pts or less the system performed very well. Overall I'm quite happy with how this ETL played out from the mechanics perspective.

Here I'd like to extend something of an apology. This three months were extremely difficult for me from a real life perspective (those who follow the news in Greece will know what I'm talking about) and I did not spend as much time in the boards as I'd have liked. I was not commenting in the ETL threads very often and when I did it was usually laconic. This hopefully will not repeat itself again and next year, with the glorious fifth ETL everything will return to normality.

Before I close I'd like to thank the Admins (Kurgan and Brother Tyler) for allowing the ETL to run again and for supporting the concept. I would also like to thank the Supreme Grand Master of the Inner Circle The Shadow Guard himself for giving so much of his time to shape the imagery of the ETL! This event would be nowhere without him! I also would like to thank Forte for giving me much needed support.

I would also like to thank all the Frater and Mods who put an extra effort to create an environment of friendly rivalry - too many to list individually and missing one would be too unfair! These are the frater that rose to the challenge to lead the ETL effort in their respective forums and with wondrous results! Thank you and BRAVO!

Looking ahead, there are other events in the pipeline, like the Call of Chaos and the Loyalty and Treachery and who knows what else... But ultimately it's the monumental ETL V that looms over us. Half a decade of ETLs should make for a very special event, so I expect to see you all and then some in this ultimate Clash of the Forums!


So until next year, farewell!

Lies and slander! How could the Codex lose, when I devoted a whopping...180 points to the cause?! Although I do appreciate that you marked down my entry and those of my brothers as being from Codex-BT msn-wink.gif

Those participation numbers hurt. Less than half of last year. Just...blech.

Ah whatever. Well done on all counts, especially to the three winners of the Artificer Badge. Beautiful models. thumbsup.gif

I think I speak for all the members of the forum who took part by saying a massive thank you to you, Semper, for running the event, it must be a nightmare to keep track of. Lots of fun, hopefully I can contribute more in the future! :)

Lies and slander!

 

As I learned from J. Jonah Jameson, slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.

 

*ahem* Anyway...

 

A sleeping dragon has only just begun to awaken in the Age of Darkness! The Emperor himself leads us into the stars to reclaim a lost empire and a universe that is rightfully ours! The foul forces of the immaterium might have carried this day, but naught can stand before the might of the Legiones Astartes!

That list of oath breakers is far too long for my liking! Honour must be redeemed for next year...

Is that code for summary executions, followed by tea and crumpets in the Commissar bunker?
