ETL VII +++Space Marines Outpost+++

[Captain Semper]

Excellent to see progress and commitment here in the SMs Outpost!

 

@ Brother Argent: I will make sure to add your challenge in the next update! Very nice!

 

 

*snip* 5 intercessors of the Eagles Eternal Fifth company Third squad at 85 points (for now?). 

 

Just to clarify: 

 

The points values of a vow will not change retrospectively when the new Codex hits the shelves. Vows remain unchanged provided they are correct at the time of vowing. Only vows that are made after the release of the new Codex are affected by the new Codex' points.

 

Just want to make this point clear - it is also mentioned in the FAQs...

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[War Angel]

I mean yeah, for the ETL it’s 85 points, but for a game I play next weekend, I may be sitting at 90 ;)

[Leonite]

For a bit of good natured teasing from the Traitor side... we've overtaaaken youuuuu~

 

But seriously, don't just lie down after we have done so. A victory for Chaos is only a true victory if we have to fight for it! We'll still be fighting the Blood Angels, the Dark Angels and the Loyalists of the past, but to see you all down here? Never! Who were our most stallwart enemies for so many years? Who challenged us and tested us to our limits before? Rise up and show that you EARNED a rivalry with the Chaos Space Marine Forum. SHOW YOUR MIGHT!

 

And good luck!

[Captain Semper]

Well, to be fair, CSMs have overtaken the SMs by a mere 150pts... It's really close guys (of both sides). ;)

[MajorNese]

Well, then let's do something about that...

 

I, MajorNese, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX VII, on the side of the Adeptus Astartes and for the glory of the Iron Hands, Mars and the holy Toaster, vowing to complete one LandRaider (2x twin LC, twin HB) for a total of 297 points, before 1st September 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

 

 

Since FW discontinued the model (eliminating any hopes for AdMech rules), there's no reason not to give the good old Mechanicum LandRaider an astartes spin.

[Captain Semper]

+++THIS IS THE CUT-OFF POINT FOR THE TENTH WEEKLY UPDATE+++

ALL VOWS AND COMPLETIONS AFTER THIS POINT WILL BE REGISTERED FOR THE ELEVENTH WEEKLY UPDATE

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Jerethdatiger]

We have a completion

 

 Vow 4 is complete

 

[Jerethdatiger]

There will be a 5th and final vow made. Soon need to see what I have left but hey that's about 1k points done

[Apocalypton]

Vow 3 Complete!

[Marshal Reinhard]

4th vow complete:

Or is it? Holy Emperor is that camera closeup brutal. It made it painfully clear that I need to do some cleanup...

(Just to make it crystal clear to Captain Semper, I am still announcing its completion!)

We'll see if I make a 5th vow or not, its starting to cut it close.

[Captain Semper]

+++ETL VII - WEEK 10 UPDATE+++

[Canadian_F_H]

Reinhard. What paukdrons are those? The upgrade kit ones have a much more promenant cross if i rememver rightly.

[Captain Semper]

Good to see some solid completions from the SMs camp! Now let's see some more, especially completions among the first vows! ;)

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[thewarriorhunter]

Finally getting paint on my brush after breaking my arm, surgery, and some new hardware. I'm more space marine that some of you now!

 

Got all of the base colors and highlights done on my LT (and a couple intercessors, not part of my vow) and some details done. I should be able to finish my vow by the 1st, although I'm saddened that my injury means no other vows will have a chance to get done.

Deathwatch veteran ones

[Jerethdatiger]

Expect vow 5 by the end of tomorrow

[Focslain]

So after looking at what I had left I decided to try and take this nice a simple. Hopefully I won't shot myself in the foot for this.

 

I Focslain rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX on the side of the +Adeptus Astartes+ and vow to complete a squad of Aggessors of total value 111 on or before September 1st, 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Jerethdatiger]

Finish big..... With that said. Need to find a better primer paints beading off even after cleaning

[Brother Carpenter]

Use car primer.

Tha usually works and make sure all is degreased properly.

[MajorNese]

Well, then let's do something about that...

 

I, MajorNese, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX VII, on the side of the Adeptus Astartes and for the glory of the Iron Hands, Mars and the holy Toaster, vowing to complete one LandRaider (2x twin LC, twin HB) for a total of 297 points, before 1st September 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

Vow completed - same-page finish, yay...

 

 

To continue with a small vow 3 until the weekend:

I, MajorNese, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX VII, on the side of the Adeptus Astartes and for the glory of the Iron Hands, Mars and the holy Toaster, vowing to complete one squad of Intercessors (5x autobolt rifle, auxilia grenade launcher) for a total of 91 points, before 1st September 2019. Success will bring me eternal glory and failure will doom me to wear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

 

 

Enough to keep me occupied until the weekend. Then the trio of Moirax should have arrived, which will end up as vow 4.

[Jerethdatiger]

Current status

All infantry is primed based shade d and highlighted on torso

Cestus is built but priming is awkward

Stormeagle....

Yea striping it is hard due to 5coats of varnish. Dettol soak to loosen it. Alls good

[thewarriorhunter]

LT is coming along, just need to get his base sorted because I cut the rock off the model, and his knife sheath.
