Marshal Mattias Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Brothers, rejoice! At last, a battle worthy of our chapter! Unfurl the banners and gather the Neophytes, the time is at hand... Sadly the great rift stands between me and my paintbrushes this year, so all I can do is cheer you on. I look forward to the first completion of many vows!

Enuncia Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Is this a painting challenge? I'm new here =\ If it is, I have been trying to find motivation to paint the marine in my profile pic and his buddies.

Starting June 1st, you can make a "vow" to complete just about any model you wish as long as it is a valid, playable loadout. The models you paint and finish are worth their in-game point value, and everyone who vows for the same army (which is determined by Codex) accrues over the course of three months, and winning factions get special badges and bragging rights.

Eberious Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I've got enough built to get started and keep me busy. With more on the way, trying to crank out made models so I have a good supply to vow once i've finished the first wave/s.

+Chaplain Matthias+ Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I'm about to build some sternguard. Is this also a modeling competition or is it ok to glue them together right now while I wait?

Marshal Laeroth Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Well, considering I am painting nearly 2000 points between now and July 20th...hopefully I'll be able to put in some of my tail-end projects into the event.

Build and basecoat is the max allowable for entries, so get prepped and get that black paint out! +Chaplain Matthias+ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 The Templars mobilize! That’s awesome! For people that are new to the ETL here’s last year’s event. Go through it and feel free to ask any questions. :) http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346705-e-tenebrae-lux-vi/?do=findComment&comment=5067601 Eberious 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Vespasian Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Till when do I have to upload a picture of my first pledge? Because I am going to be busy the next few weeks. I am not sure I can build an prime my pledge Till june 1st. Let alone clean my workbench tbh. But I guess a picture of the sprues in question is alright too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Yes, sprues are fine. Now the event kicks-off on June 1st, but the cut-off point to declare participation (which effectively happens when you submit your first vow) is a month later, July 1st. So you don't have to produce pictures of your vow on day one, you may wait until you're ready. After July 1st however, no new participants will be allowed in (unless for out-of-competition entries). Those who have entered though, can submit a second or subsequent vow at any point until the end of the event on September 1st. I hope this is as clear as it sounded in my head?

Marshal Vespasian Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Ah so it is even more doable than I thought, I hope to get colour to Model before july 1st. Thanky cptn semper Captain Semper 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Vespasian Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Alrighty then slightly converted a HQ I still had kicking about yesterday and ordered a box of assault terminators.

TheOneTrueZon Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 I think my first vow is going to be the 20 (probably more) Neophytes that I've had primed and based since last year. Since they're still overpriced, I'm going to strangely use it to my advantage in the only way possible - points for ETL!!! Now do I also wrap in two Land Speeder Storms as well....

Paladin_61RUS Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Greetings, crusaders! What is ETL? Is it painting or modelling event? I have a starter set "Dark Imperium" and want to convert all Space Marines from it to Black Templars. I`m familiar with modelling knife and know few tricks, but I`m not a painter.

Captain Semper Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It is a painting event. Is kind of a big thing too... Check last year’s event here to get a feel for it: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346705-e-tenebrae-lux-vi/?p=5067601&do=findComment&comment=5067601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in the right place. There's a multitude of resources and people here to help and ETL is a great way to get motivated! My best advice right now would be to get those marines off the spure (if not already), and base coated black (or white, or zenithal pre-highlighting via airbrush - ya know, you do you). In essence, taking those two steps means you're already HALF DONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
