THE BLADES OF ALARIC ISSUE A CHALLENGE

 

Paladin of the Unforgiven Challenge. Paladin Lanzo stood on the dais in the Leviathans main training hall, Brothers from all members of the Unforgiven stood to attention. Some of the best swordsmen had answered Lanzo’s call. Lehah of the Guardians of the Covenant was one to watch thought Lanzo, the warrior was a veteran of their 4th Company for over 100 years and had served as their Company Champion over half that time. He carried a massive two-handed blade that could be the twin of Lanzo’s own blade but he wielded it with ease. Lanzo had sparred with the Champion to first blood, Lanzo was fast but Lehah was his match. The duel attracted the attention of Lothar Arkley himself the combatants fought for over fifty minutes ending in a draw, to most in attendance the fight was almost art, both warriors were breathing heavily. 

Lanzo spoke first, ‘You do your company proud brother it has been a honour to duel you.’
Lehah replied ‘The honour is mine Paladin, I hope we can have another opportunity to fight again.’
Lanzo reached out with his arm as Lehah returned the gesture in a warrior's handshake he said. ‘You can count on it Brother.’

[FlamingDeth]

Big thing before I throw a champion in the ring...dates?

[Brother Captain Arkley]

15th October - 15th November its on the banner and same as Covenant of Caliban :)

[FlamingDeth]

Oh, banner was getting cut off on the mobile website for me. Thanks!

[Darkn3ssF4lls]

Glory to the children of the Lion!

[Greenz]

Brother Arkley, would an assault squad veteran sergeant with a power sword count?

[Brother Captain Arkley]

Yea:)

[Greenz]

Fantastic, thanks for the quick reply! I've got some planning to do. I'm really looking forward to this

 

Edit: just re-read the rules. Can he be already assembled for this challenge, or are we starting from the sprue?

[Brother Captain Arkley]

Ready built is fine

[jbaeza94]

Ok so I want in, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to have my stuff sent out to me by then... I really hope I will. This is really exciting

[Interrogator Stobz]

I'll have to see, my 'ready' to paint dudes don't include a sword fighter.

 

If I can get my RWCS done with time to spare then I want to vow a Sword wielding Libby, is that ok?

[Chaplain Raeven]

Oh my, now what? Terminator Champion or PA Champion? Decisions, decisions...

[Captain Semper]

I'm in - it will be the Champion of my 5th Comp Desciples of Caliban Command Squad I'm pledging for the Covenant of Caliban! 

[dalleron]

How,fast are you sticking to the sword/shield thing. I've got a TDA master with a sword and power maul, or a power armour dude with a Thunder hammer and Corvus hammer?

[Chaplain Raeven]

I believe the minimum requirement is one sword. You'd probably have to ignore the other weapon.

[Brother Captain Arkley]

Sorry if this is too restrictive, I wanted to do just swords and shields or a combination of them .

@Stobz I hope you can man :)

If the people interest to put the oath I can add them to Oath Makers :)

[Brother Captain Arkley]

I Brother Arkley, with all my strength, honour and faith in the Lion, pledge my Champion Lanzo Mattias. Failure of my oath is not an option.

 

[Grotsmasha]

Although assemlby is yet to begin, I'll leave this teaser...

[Malcifer]

I Malcifer, with all my strength, honor and faith in the Lion, pledge my Champion Malcifer. Failure of my oath is not an option.

[Lostrael]

I Lostrael, with all my strength, honour and faith in the Lion, pledge my Champion Adrian. Failure of my oath is not an option.

(I cannot resist a challenge once uttered )

[Grotsmasha]

Plan A is out

The torso from the Interrogator Chaplain *ONLY* fits his own legs, it is literally so tight that it snaps into place, no glue required....onto Plan B

[jbaeza94]

I Brother Arkley, with all my strength, honour and faith in the Lion, pledge my Champion Lanzo Mattias. Failure of my oath is not an option.

 

Bah! I was going to use those arms! Lol on to plan b ha. Updating my shopping list :)

[Tygwyn]

Might have to rethink my Covenant vow then... But that's ok, it might be more realistic to expect myself to finish one PA bloke not something bigger...

[Captain Semper]

One of the three handless minis will be turned to a mighty Champion of the 5th!

[Grotsmasha]
