+++E Tenebrae Lux IV - Horus Heresy Strategium+++

[Olis]

Yep, spotted it. Ready and raring to go by the looks of it. :tu:

[Chaeron]

Once again, it's the daily update.

• Pledged total: 67,090 points
• Completed total: 4,897 points
• Vows completed: 5

You have such good momentum here! I believe we're heading for about two-thirds of your total currently, it's great to see those completions rolling in already!

Long may it continue :)

[heshman]

I Heshman, swearing upon the Book of Lorgar, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete:

• Legion Tactical Squadx10, Sergeant w/ Combi-weapon for 160 points,
• Rhino for 35 points,
• Legion Sicaran Battle Tank w/ Lascannon sponsons for 175 points,

From Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes Crusade Army List (FW), of total value 370 points on or before August 1^st, 2015.  Success will bring eternal glory to the XVIIth Legiones Astartes: Word Bearers, and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

 

 

Primed and ready to go, except...ran out of spray black...the Ruinous Powers will not be pleased.

 

[lionofjudah]

I, Lionofjudah, pledge to build 1 Deredero dread with missile launcher and currently twisted auto cannons  to be painted at some point this ETL...

ok, I just built it while watching daredevil;)

Now I am raring to go and needing to do some work on my airbrush as the hose totally blew out after I got the whole shebang set up today. Mildly frustrating but I did primer prep some of my terrain as I wanted to practice with the airbrush before working on the Raptor. Also, there are some great youtube videos on airbrushing...gotta thank all the artists out there taking their time and energy posting tutorials!

[Smokey Panda]

I Smokeypanda rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete

One Questoris knight Magaera

from The house of Aerthegn in Book 4 of the Horus Heresy for a total value of 800 points on or before August 1st, 2015. Success will bring eternal glory to The Warmaster, and House Aerthegn. Failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end

**Edited to add**

The promised picture of the Mageara knight:

A picture of the Magaera will come in the morning when I get some better light. Also please excuse the random knight paladin he was to show off the size of the Cerastus to a buddy of mine, although it might get stripped and repainted at some point to match the rest of House Aerthegn.

[Captain Semper]

@ heshman: Welcome to the Heresy team - there is no such thing as too many Traitors! :lol: Good luck with your vow! 

 

@ lionofjudah: It'll be great if you edit the pics in your original vow since it's linked in the first page.

 

@ Smokey Panda: Well that is impressive... :o Good luck Panda! :)

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[GhostMalone]

Keep the heresy train rolling;

 

 

And if we keep this up

[StruManChu]

Welcome to all of our new playmates! If we keep this up, we'll smash everyone...

Speaking of which...

Allow me to very gently nudge us over the 5,000 points threshold...

Vow complete!

Well that was fun! There's still 12 days till we move too, so I'm looking pretty good for Vow 2.

[chaplain mortis]

@Stru...simply awesome from start to finish.. Great modelling and painting! Well done on vow complete mate ;-)

[GhostMalone]

And yes, the pledge is open on my iPad there ^^
I aim to get photos up when I start working on stuff.
Rhino chassis were stripped... Kind of badly

I'm already halfway through finishing the first 20-man tactical squad, getting there already!

[Olis]

And another big one from grand_master85. Fantastic! Great to see you pledge, brother. :tu: 

[nevindar]

@Olis Well, think the expression goes something like this: go big or go home... ^^

@grand_master85 Nice pledge! :)

Aaah... best part with big pledge: the futile hope of having it easier when knowing WHAT to paint rather than miniature-jumping on 6 different projects 

[Rejects of Anvilus]

So here are the starting pictures of my vow, showing what i have already got built, and the start of the Warhound.

Group shot of the Iron Hand models.

Close up of the Primus Mediace (which i forgot to add 7 points to my vow for the combi-flamer, nevermind)

Ten undercoated Tech-Thralls

One part built Cerastus Knight Lancer with panels left off for easier painting.

The start of a base for the previously mentioned Knight.

And some feet.

Most of these baring the feet have now been undercoated, and the painting progresses slowly. More info when i get some more done, and good work to everybody else who is involved in this adventure.

Cheers

[Flint13]

Spinitron, question for you.

 

Where did you get that sweet looking stone flooring that's on your Knight's base? That looks awesome!

[FashaTheDog]

Grand_master85, I like the use of Enkomi's helmet for the Moritat.

 

Also, without his scythe, Mortarion looks like he is dancing.  Probably to Footloose since we already dragged Kenny Loggins into this.

[Brother Dallo]

I Brother Dallo rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete One Praetor with powerfist to the value of 120 points (I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong) on or before August 1st, 2015. Success will bring eternal glory to the Emperor of Mankind. Failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year end.

 

Dallo

[AlphariusOmegon108]

Second pledge almost done, got the models I have for my third pledge (coming very soon) build actually today (2240 pts)

[Rejects of Anvilus]

Spinitron, question for you.

Where did you get that sweet looking stone flooring that's on your Knight's base? That looks awesome!

It's Wills York Stone Paving as seen here: http://www.antenocit...one-paving.html

 

I used one sheet for the knight base, with a few bits left over, and it come with four bits in the packet. You should be able to find it at a good Railway model shop.

 

Cheers!

[Kor'Vesh]

I was just about to write my casual challenge update, when I looked at this thread. Inspiring stuff everyone!

 

My paint brush is in my hand...

[Olis]

Greetings, brothers and sisters. A reasonable jump in numbers today thanks to heshman, Smokey Panda, nevindar, grand_master85 and Brother Dallo, pushing us well beyond 70,000 and making ground towards a really major milestone. Some of these are entirely fresh pledges, welcome to you brothers, and some are second pledges. Props also go to StruManChu for his completion, nudging us over the 5,000 point mark. 

 

• Pledged total: 74,270 points 
• Completed total: 5,097 points
• Vows completed: 6

 

So, by the look of things, we are still firing on all cylinders with more to come over the next two and a half weeks. Remember - try to rope in whomever you can. Once the recruitment window closes, we are relying on repeat pledges to increase our total vows. The more the merrier, as they say. ;)
