ETL VII +++Adepta Sororitas Outpost+++

[ThePenitentOne]

Alright, making my first vow today. Before I do, I want to be clear:

 

Can each vow include more than one unit?

 

If not, then max sized units are best for the challenge because of the five vow restriction, right?

 

Thanks

[Shard of Magnus]

A single vow can include any number of units. How you want to spread your planned units across the 5 allowed vows is a personal preference.

[ThePenitentOne]

Last question: How do I hide my pics with spoiler tags again? 

 

Sorry to be a pain- someone already told me once, but I never got around to actually posting the pics, so I forgot. Thanks in advance.

[Captain Semper]

Unfortunately, I have decided that I shall not be participating in ETL this year. Despite a little bit of a painting bug beginning to bite, I just cannot commit the time or finances to it.

A number of the paint I need have dried out and require rebuying which means an hour drive to the nearest place with paint.

Add to that a lack of painting space and a handy 2 year old and a very busy work period; it's going to be more stressful to try and make time for painting.

 

Next year.

 

No worries Atrus, take your time to replenish your hobby materiel and there will be other opportunities (possibly earlier than the next ETL )

Shard of Magnus' response was bang on!

You're not a pain at all! 

 

You just put the spoiler tags before and after the content you wish hidden. 

 

and [/spoiler[ 

 

I've typed the second tag with the second bracket inverted on purpose so it will not activate. You do it the correct way. ;)

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Studio Silvernale]

Update 01

Final scheme is white-blue-black, like my favorite MtG deck. There will be some silver & gold for detailing, but this is my three color standard.

 

[Captain Semper]

Looks pretty good! Can't wait for the final result! :)

[ThePenitentOne]

Sweet! That is the Raging Heroes War Pulpit! 

I want this model... A lot.

 

I was going to use the Warglaive rules, but make it a part of my Penitent Legion. I wasn't sure how I felt about it's legs, so I figure I'd use Warglaive legs, and since I'd have to buy a Warglaive to do it, I'd probably use its arms too, just to make it more consistent with the rest of the army.

 

Only thing is, I wasn't sure about scale, and it would be one heck of an expensive model. As someone who's familiar with the model, do you think the conversion idea would work? I know we're on a tengent, so if that's an issue, just message me instead.

 

Looks great and can't wait to see it finished.

[Studio Silvernale]

I don't know anything about warglaive

[ThePenitentOne]

My first vow:

 

I, ThePenitentOne, shall paint the following 14 models by September 1, 2019 for the Sisters of Battle faction during ETL 2019:

 

Mistress of Repentance, 35 Points

 

Mistress of Repentance, 35 Points

 

Repentia Squad, 5 X 15 = 75 Points

 

Repentia Squad, 7 X 15 = 105 Points

NSFW

 

 

Notes: All 14 of these models are part of a story event in the Chronicles of Saint Katherine's Aegis Campaign. They were once pure and loyal Sisters of Battle, part of the Mission defending the Chapel for which the Chronicle is named. Throughout the campaign, they are likely to come into close contact with a Cult of Slaanesh, where they will see things that no man... Or woman, should ever be forced to see.

 

After establishing the level of the threat, the Mission will be required to contact the Inquisition for guidance and back-up.

 

When this happens, Inquistor Greyfax will insist that contaminated Sisters take the Penitent Oath. She will order reinforcements from the Order of the Bloody Rose, and when they arrive, they will take control of these sisters, providing two of their most experienced Mistresses. These units will henceforth be known as the Daemon Marked, and they will enter battle with the rest of the Penitent Legion.

 

This is particularly important with the second ETL mistress above, because she may be more than merely base coated, but I will be re-basecoating so that she can have a Bloody Rose colour scheme.

 

If anyone is interested, many of the Penitent Legion Models are already painted; you can find the current detachment roster, as well as pics of the already completed members of the Legion in the Chronicles of Saint Katherine's Aegis thread below.

Excellent vow ThePenitentOne, I work it out at 250 pts in total - let me know if I got this wrong. :)

Also, if you fancy writing a story about your ETL vow, maybe you want to visit this thread here: ;)

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Dread]

Hmm, so I guess I've been away for way to long. I sooooooo miss the ETL! Glad to see Captain Semper is still up to this. So that being said....

 

I, Dread, pledge to complete Saint Celestine and her Gemenia, Varidyan and Greyfax before September 1, 2019. Pics and points coming soon!

 

 

I believe it's 336 pts. Celestine=160, Gemenia =42@21 each, Greyfax=85 and Veredyan (canoness) w/power sword=49

Hey! Dread is here! Now the party truly begins! :D 

 

Good to see you again mate, best of luck with those most impressive minis! :tu:

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[ThePenitentOne]

Well Cap, I haven't made a lot of progress on the painting front yet, but I have just penned the first draft of the story for the Mark of the Liber. Should be revised and posted by the witching hour tomorrow.

 

In the original pics for my vow, I didn't bother zooming in on this conversion:

 

She is the narrator of the story, and it explains where the skulls come from and what they mean.

 

I can't post the story in the Chronicles of Saint Katherine's Aegis thread until we hit this point in the campaign, but writing it forced me to give her a name... Andaya Rayne. Also helped me put a few other pieces of the story together.

 

Thanks for the push  ;-)

Yes. And you may even vow them in this forum provided the vowed units do not exceed in number the SoB's units. ;) Also, redheads? Good taste! :lol:
