ETL VII +++Astra Militarum Outpost+++

[Captain Semper]

Yes, of course, you are right! And I had also marked it as such in the front page... I must be losing my mind. Sorry for that mate - I'm amending the post above accordingly...

[Colonel Bindoff]

Vow complete:

The two that I vowed for points, And below a group shot for the honour vow of tidying the rest up:

Touch and go there!

[Colonel Bindoff]

Meant to add my apologies for being incommunicado: had to travel to Middle East on short notice and have been flat out with work. Had a shadow sword to vow but I think three hours to deadline means it isn’t going to happen!!

 

Well done everyone.

[Captain Semper]

And the Colonel delivers! Well done Bindoff- RL puts obstacles to our hobby all the time, but it appears you've overcome it! :tu: 

 

Now any news from gilt_imp?

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Captain Semper]

3HRS TO GO!

[gilt_imp]

Vow Complete!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Colonel Bindoff]

Gilt, awesome. And a man with my own approach to timing at heart too

[gilt_imp]

^Thank you. I didn’t mean for it to get so late though, just been pretty crazy lately.

 

 

Well done to all on your completions and commiserations to those who wanted to but couldn’t.

 

For anyone still missing in action, I guess we light a candle for you 

[Captain Semper]

ETL VII IS OFFICIALLY OVER!

NO NEW COMPLETIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED PAST THIS POINT!

 

That was the most savage ETL that I can remember!!!
 
Now I will go through all the Outposts to make a LAST UPDATE later toady. After that, I need to compile the results and present them in a meaningful manner in the Final Report. This will come in a couple of days along with the relevant badges.
 
What I need is, after the LAST UPDATE, for each participant to check his/her status in the first page of his/her Outpost and notify me if there is something amiss so I can correct it. Do that publicly in the Outposts as my inbox is filled and I have no time to clean it up.
 
Once you check your status lay back and wait for the final report. If you have any questions feel free to raise them. You can freely discuss the event in your Outpost, post pics of your vows and generally have a great and relaxed time until the Final Report.
 
Congratulations to all!

[Captain Semper]

FINAL UPDATE

Please check your entries to make sure things are as they should.

[WarriorFish]

More fine work here comrades, excellent! Especially the last minute completions Another year of great models

 

We'll prepare a gun salute for Semper's heroic deeds in organising as thanks, scheduled to begin at 0600 and continue to 1000. Attendance is mandatory.

[Arkaniss]

Well done everyone! Even if you didn't finish - putting yourself out there to compete was a worthy deed, regardless of the result :tu: What matters is that we all got a bit further in reducing our hobby backlog I enjoyed vowing with the IG this time round, perhaps next time I won't have lots of infantry to do and can instead do some bigger models.

 

As always many thanks to the venerable Captain Semper without which there would be no ETL!

To celebrate, the Commissariat will overlook appropriating Chimera fuel for the purposes of distillation.

[WarriorFish]

No we won't. Latrine duty for you, soldier!

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

We'll prepare a gun salute for Semper's heroic deeds in organising as thanks, scheduled to begin at 0600 and continue to 1000. Attendance is mandatory.

 

Which means you better be there at 0515 and expect to stay until 1130.

Hi all.

Now that my mum is home recovering from her cancer removal, I have had time to take some better pics, something I wanted to do but the weekend was a bit rushed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really enjoyed this ETL you guys have, and I learnt so much as well. As it progressed, I was inspired to do and try things I hadn’t before. Even so much part way through I decided to try combine it and work towards an Armies on Parade also.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, here is a small diorama with Knight from Vow 3, Skitarii from Vow 2 and even metal skin Bullgryns from Vow 1 (tucked in back, waiting for the counter-charge).

 

 

 

I planned to use Astra Militarum with some Ad-Mech as support for Knights. I need a new board/base to hold the intended display, but this is part of the ‘House’ if you will.

In the desert everyone can hear you scream!

 

 

 

Thank you to the good Captain Semper for the mind-bending task of running and maintaining the ETL, also to those in the background who helped too, even if it was just to push each other along. All good guard help push each other along!

 

May your brushes hold fast and stay true! For as long as they can 

[Arkaniss]

Fantastic pictures gilt_imp! You should be proud of your ETL achievements, it was a pleasure serving with you :tu: Best wishes to your Mum too!

[gilt_imp]

^Thank you so much, that means a lot! I have to take her back to see the Dr on Thursday.

 

 

Everyone who participated should feel pretty good, whether they finished or just started 

[Captain Semper]
