+++E Tenebrae Lux V - Blood Angels Strategium+++


Recommended Posts

Let all witness this and know I make my second vow for E Tenebrae Lux for the glory of Sanguinius and my Brothers of the Blood. 

 

I vow to complete a Librarian Dreadnought, armed with a Power Fist, with built-in Heavy Flamer, Furioso Force Halberd, Psychic Hood, Smoke Launchers and Searchlight, and who is a Mastery Level 2 Psyker.  The total points for this vow is 185.  I make this Oath of Moment, and swear to have this model completed by or before the 15th of August, 2016.

 

Here is the proof picture:

Keep up the good work folks.  Take it easy for now. :)

Great Red Thirst - good luck. I noticed you said lvl 2 psycker there - keep in mind you need to convey this with your painting and/or conversions to receive the points! ;)

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Is he going to be fully blue or a blue/red hybrid?

Wow, everytime I look in here there's a new completion. Keep hitting em of the park guys.

 

Also, where the hell did we find ~80 participants last year?! And where have they gone!

A couple Several of the people that vowed last year have vowed different codices this year, but they didn't do it lightly me thinks.

Last year we were still riding the wave of a relatively recent model release and codex that hadn't yet been shown up as completely inferior to the codices that came after it. Thats how I remember it at least, keeping track of time and when things happened isn't my greatest attribute.

I never expect us to win this thing anyway, just go down swinging. Much like Sanguinius. The shift to factoring in completion rates helps, but, frankly, the combined Angels of Death, Heresy and Chaos forums are just too big for a single chapter sub-forum like us, DA, SW or GK to really stand too much of a chance of beating them. All we can do is enough to be able to say we gave it our best shot, sometimes that has to suffice.

How would one model/paint the difference being a Mastery Level 1 or 2 psyker? Hrm.. not exactly sure how to pull that off. I'll consider amending the vow, but went with that simply because I *always* run it as a Mastery Level 2. I'll ponder upon it.

I considered fully blue, but am going to go with blue on just the sarcophagus, with the rest of the armor being red. Essentially I'll be taking a page from the codex on color scheme with a few tweaks here and there. I will be using gold and other metallic colors to hopefully set the model off nicely. Fingers crossed, it'll look good. :)

Updates to come in short order. Take it easy for now.

Well, that's part of the ETL challenge! :D Don't change the vow, I'm sure you'll think of something - it doesn't need to be very elaborate, but something to give it the gravity lvl 2 implies.

Here comes vow number two!

 

I, Slothysaur, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX V and vow to complete one Blood Angels Captain armed with a Power Fist, Lightning Claw, Artificer Armour, and a Jump Pack (worth 165 points) on or before August 15th, 2016. Success will bring eternal glory to ETL Faction Blood Angels and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until my vow is complete.

 



Edit: corrected points values

To show I'm not slacking and that I'm working on completing this first Vow! I'm really enjoying painting him (for the most part) and He's turning out quite cool!

***DISCLAIMER***

PLEASE Don't look at the damned axe too hard, or it WILL fall off.

(Apparently I didn't drill high enough when pinning the model, and the tip of the axe broke off)

Tactical squad done.

I was slower than I wanted on these, mainly due to a house move and work being crazy.10 man squad vows are tricky.

I also unfortunately killed my librarian with a can of Mephiston red spray. It worked perfectly for the vanguard's, then after half an hour, turned my librarian furry. This means I have to go strip him back and hope he doesn't get ruined in the process...

Next stop, corbulo or a tank.

Yep! I did a lvl 2 libby in TDA last year and modeled the badge on the right shoulder. A skull bit and an iron halo are the pieces I used I think. Here is the best picture I have of it. The bits coming off the ends of the halo are foamcore.

Edit: The halo bit is actually off of one of the non-death mask Sanguinary Guard helmets.

I can't believe we're only at 10% completions. Seems like we've had way more ... With only 40 some participants 10% is only 4. We've definitely had more than that.

Good find! They don't show what the symbol for chief librarian is though. Anyone have any ideas?

I made a rubble base for my vowed Furioso dreadnought today.  It's my first time ever using using cork for making a base and I really like how it turned out.  I think I'm going to have to start doing this for all of them now.
