Olis Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 [basicheader'THE LIBER STRATEGIUM'] THE LIBER STRATEGIUM[/basicheader] Brothers and sisters, Liberites and general members of B&C, it's fast coming to a time where we must do battle again. Paintbrushes in one hand, models in the other, we look to the next E Tenebrae Lux with anticipation. This year is the fifth anniversary of the inter-forum competition and, so a little bird tells me, Semper has something a little, um, different in mind. What exactly this is, we will not know until May. Not even I am privy to his plans, I'm afraid. But don't let that deter you. Down here in the Liber we will continue the tradition of taking part but not really competing. We truly will be doing it just for fun. It's all well and good for any of you to declare for another subforum - we will consider that your 'official' pledge. But here you can repost your pledge as an unofficial vow for the Liber, allowing us to see what we could do if we entered as a formal faction.We had some good numbers last year seeing as it was entirely a non-competitive exercise (as you can see in the link); we completed 7390 points worth of models. Out of the total pledges we managed to get a 85.6% completion rate, altering our final total to 6326 points. Not too shabby. Our completion rate was well above the B&C average from last year's ETL of 68.8% and, in fact, was the highest rate of the whole site! Something to be proud of! So, before the gates open once again, I call out to you, denizens of the Liber. You may pledge for other factions on B&C. You may throw in your lot with those you call brother elsewhere. Yet if your heart lies here or maybe mere whim carries you to this place then consider having some fun and vow not for competition, but for the joy of it. There is no grand prize and no bragging rights, there is no wooden spoon and no disgrace for failure. Perhaps, just perhaps, this may be the place where the purest form of the ETL's spirit resides... NOTE: Be advised, this is not yet a call to arms. You'll have to wait until Captain Semper begins this year's ETL in his own specific thread. If any of you who need a hand in knowing what exactly I'm blithering on about, here are links to the last four ETL's:ETL IETL IIETL IIIETL IV (Shout out to CommodusXIII, our unofficial unofficial faction champion last year. Yes, the two unofficials were deliberate. ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The games have begun, brothers and sisters! Let it be shown those who record their vows in the Liber!

Brother Argent Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Without a doubt I will be in for the Glory of Liber, as always. May even throw down a Deathwatch squad or two of Liber Chapters, as a tribute to the awesomeness that is the Liber. I can throw together a dodgy Liber version of the ETL Siggy when Semp releases one is people want too. Just to make a point that Liber is, without a doubt, the most awesome group of nuts in any basement across the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 The Brotherhood of the Angels that is currently running has had history with the ETL in the past. One of the reasons no model is required of the BotA is to inspire others to want to collect their own DIY chapter. When it is time to unleash the paint brushes, the work done on the BotA articles will give way to conversions and modeling of the new chapter so that they may be represented on the tabletop. With the BotA branching out to nearly every forum in the B&C, it is possible that the Liber Astartes can be delivering a rapid fire of victory tallies both on the BotA and on the ETL. For those denizens of the Liber Astartes that have signed up to the BotA, send me a quick PM so I can keep track of the victories of the Liber Astartes.

Ace Debonair Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have some grand plans for the ETL this year. In an ideal world, I'll be pledging one marine from each Chapter of the Liber Cluster, each with some fancy wargear. In terms of points vowed, they're probably just going to be little Assault Marine squads with vanilla loadouts, rather than gaming the system by painting Fifteen Captains. The colours won't be exact - I don't own any camo green, for example, and since I have jittery hands and limited patience I won't be putting the Chapter Symbols on them, but I'll do what I can.

Jolemai Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Brothers, last year I made a call to arms in the Liber, whereby I requested the aid of our respected LPC rivals. Those who heeded our call helped us cement fourth place, and this year we aim to not only improve on that but to again challenge for honours. As our campaign gets underway, I once more request your aid and implore you to throw your hat into the ring with us. Whilst your fluff is important and is something I respect entirely, for the ETL we just need you to tally up your points from our source books. In fact, we love seeing unusually painted/counts as Blood Angels over on our board so if you are undecided or feel like a change then please consider us! Thanks for your time.

Just to make a point that Liber is, without a doubt, the most awesome group of nuts in any basement across the net. While it is possible that I myself could magic up something, I am all too happy to hand the floor to you brother. A nice little ETL V ribbon or badge for the Liber would be welcome indeed. :tu: The Brotherhood of the Angels that is currently running has had history with the ETL in the past.

Of course brother - any back-to-back victories from our brothers should be rightly recognised. If you need any aid in this regard, feel free to contact me, brother. In Succinct, but appreciated. :lol: I have some grand plans for the ETL this year. In an ideal world, I'll be pledging one marine from each Chapter of the Liber Cluster, each with some fancy wargear.

Every little helps, brother. As this is the ETL, the aim is merely to paint. Pledge what you are comfortable with. :) Brothers, last year I made a call to arms in the Liber, whereby I requested the aid of our respected LPC rivals.

Any Liberites willing to stand with the sons of Sanguinius are welcome to do so. Every little helps, so they say. Good luck to you and your brethren, Jolemai. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 As ever, I'm continuing my support of the Liber This year, however I'm vowing for the Sisters forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madwolf Shadowmane Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I too will be vowing for the LIber, but my official vow will again go to the Wolves unless we Liberites are given our own subforum to compete from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I too will be vowing for the LIber, but my official vow will again go to the Wolves unless we Liberites are given our own subforum to compete from. We did in the first year, but because we were using many different Codexes, it was decided that we'd have to vow for the forum the Codex used was with. However, we decided to make topics like this to show our underlying support for the Liber and what would/could have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 @Olis - Point of Order the Iron Hands had a 85.71% completion rate! Ah, well, that is not mentioned in Semper's round up post at the end of last year's ETL. I'll pretend that that 0.11% difference isn't there... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 You could probably make a nicer one Olis. For me its just plugging something up in Paint. Looking forward to the ETL this year, actually. Intending on making small vows but multiples, so that I might actually finish this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Well... I could take a shot at it at some point... ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Debonair Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 OK, so I won't be able to go with my original grand plan for this year's ETL. I don't have enough spare bitz (or the right paints) to do the Liber Cluster Chapters justice, and if I'm going to do it, I need to do it right. Maybe next year! That said, I do have a whole bunch of assault marines that need painting, plus Captain Ambrose from the Lauss Rift. I meant to vow him last year but I haven't even settled on a weapon loadout yet, so... I guess the White Hawks will fly once more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Perfluous Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I don't know if I'll have time to vow anything for the ETL this year, but if I do, you can rest assured that the Liber has my sword, bow and axe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Perils Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm planning on entering my Shadow Wolves for the Chaos Space Marines.
