Brothers, I can already report some progress.

I took the time tonight to paint a bit and even live streamed to whole process.

 

A new update will follow soon.

Librame coming in hot!  Stop reading this post bud and get back to painting.  Looks like you have your work cut out for you.

 

Excellent dark lining, and I really like the way the green tabard looks Stuka!  That guy is going to look great when he's all done up.

Excellent news!

 

Brother Belial of the First Company has joined the ranks of my fully painted miniatures!

With this, my first vow is complete!

Now, it is already 4am over here, so I will make my seconds Vow tomorrow, after I had some time to think about what I want to work on next.

Alright. Time for my second Vow.

This time it is themed "Heroes of the Chapter"

 

I, stuka06, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX IV and vow to complete the following units from Codex: Dark Angels, to a total value of 610 points, on or before 1st August 2015:

 

  • 5 Company Veterans with 4 Combi Weapons and a Heavy Bolter and a Razorback 
  • 1 Dreadnought with Assault Canon and Powerfist in a Drop Pod
  • 1 Dreadnought with a Twin-linked Laser Canon and a Missile Launcher
  • 1 Venerable Dreadnought with 2 Twinlinked Auto Canons

Success will bring eternal glory to the First Legion, whilst failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end!

 

Couple of notes. 

I will restart on the Dreadnoughts. I started painting them before I tested my new colors. They are all messed up. I will also finish the 3 other company veterans, but I didn't calculate any points for them, since they are so far along. I have 2 more vows planned, but I have to see how this one goes.

 

Edit: 

So I just realized, I forgot to post the before picture...

Time I showed that I haven't been sitting on my hands whilst all this mega painting has been going on round here.

 

I think that I will give setting up my own WIP stream a go - I would appreciate some C&C as this will be the first time I have really painted any RW!

Greetings, brothers.

I have completed vow #1 to what I consider to be a respectable table top standard. Two full trips to chamber hot tub 42 (filled with Simple Green) were required to determine how to properly apply the base coat and wash, both which were new techniques for me. There are some undetailed bits which will require further attention; however, I feel these warriors of the First Legion meet the spirit of the competition.

- Surrounded by the Chaotic forces of Acrylicos Vallejo, a Deathwing Terminator Squad teleports in to support elements of the Ravenwing -

Years of pent up 40k hostility from lack of painting cannot be contained. Let slip the pigments of war!

I, FinylCut, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete:

Ravenwing Attack Squadron - with 3 additional bikers (No options as they will be used to complete two existing squadrons.)

from Codex: Dark Angels of total value 161 points on or before August 1st, 2015. Success will bring eternal glory to the First Legion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

These bikes have been assembled for years. Hopefully, I can keep going strong, and paint them quickly.

@ Stuka and Fynilcut: Well done brothers, you've made the Lion proud! Good completions and immediate re-vows? Great stuff! 

 

@ Verizel: Welcome Brother! Your contribution is sorely needed and appreciated! For the Lion! :devil:

 

 

As we enter Week 3 we come face-to-face Week 3 Blues! That means that there is a sharp drop in new recruits before it speeds up again in Week 4. Now if we can maintain the flow of new recruits and avoid the blues we'll be in a much better position once Week 4 hits! Keep this in mind!

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

@ Angel Veto: Welcome to the ETL - it's indeed time to atone! :P Good luck with this hefty vow! 

 

@ GrandMasterSapphon: The vows must be made sequentially. You are not allowed to submit a new vow until you declare your previous vow complete. 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Are we allowed ro make a second vow and come back to the first later? Curious cause I just picked up a Belial and I wanna paint him with a DW squad...

However, before the end of the month Grandmasttersapphon can modify his original vow can't he? ...and include Belial so he can paint what he wants and yet be within the rules? Is that doable Cap?

Normally we can allow small alterations in the vow (something like a piece of wargear or possibly another marine in a squad that's less than maximum size), but making such large additions like a special Character sort of defeats the point of having more than one vows to play with. 

 

Now if Grand Master Sapphon claims he was confused by the rules and given that's his first ETL, I will allow, this once (and without it becoming a precedence), the alteration. 

 

@ Grand Master Sapphon: I would suggest however that you complete your existing vow as is - no alterations. Then proceed to a second vow to include Belial and anything else you may want. Remember there is no time limit for you making another vow other than the end of the event in August. This way you get to paint everything you want and still comply fully with the ETL rules.

Thanks! I plan on doing as you said and completing my first vow now, before I start the second. Thanks for the clarification!
