[MegaVolt87]

I haven't forgotten you all guys, just need to finish up some touches to my vow. BA has a titan eh? I won't leave my BL brothers hanging for some support. This changes what I am vowing now. Adept Volt-87 has opened the depot and getting ready the fire support from the Iron Warriors, stay tuned...

[Captain Semper]

Welcome Rednekkboss - the ETL wouldn't be the same without your weird contraptions! :lol: Good to see you again mate - best of luck!

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[MaliGn]

Hi Cap, just had a thought, as the etl progresses and the outposts get longer and longer would it be possible for you to add a link back to the entrants post of each thread when you do your updates? It would make navigation and checking of totals/progress a lot easier on mobile views of the site.

 

Just a suggestion, I know etl is a lot of work as it is, keep it up. :-)

[Sagentus]

@Captain Semper - I aim to join the ETL shortly (even though I currently have no paints lol), but i have a quick question. I want to pledge my new Khorne army that will contain  Berzerkers, Khârn etc. But I also wish to add bloodletters, will they count to my chaos pledge or would they have to go in the Daemons section? 

 

Sorry if this has been asked before, I havent had time to read everything

[Captain Semper]

No problem Sagentus,

 

The bottom line is that Bloodletters are included in the CSM codex, so there is no conflict to get them into the same vow.

 

Greater Daemons are a different story though... ;)

[Sagentus]

Thank you for the the quick response Semper!! 

[Darnok]

41 people in so far, the Legions are marching strong! Excellent showing so far, and we are not even one week in - I hope for many more to join.

 

Now get the painting done everybody!

[Machine God]

Hello Chaos team.

 

How's this for quick? ETL VII Completions so far:

 

Grotsmasha in Dark Angels has completed 3 Vows of single models totalling 222 pts, his first Vow took him 3 hours and 27 minutes to complete.

 

Ace Debonair in Aeldari has completed 1 Vow for 45 pts.

 

Edit: Typo.

Slow and steady wins the race my friend.

 

Actually, that's a good point in general: this is a marathon, not a sprint. Doesn't matter if you get five vows done with a month to spare, or one vow that squeaks in 20 minutes before the gates close. It's easy to get a bit caught up in the whirlwind (especially in more... zealous factions such as ourselves) but at the end of the day, win or lose, complete or not, if you got painted models out of it then you have won the ETL.

 

That said, if we don't at least finish higher than the Blood Angels this year I will be slightly grumpy for about a minute, so get cracking! :p

Most impressive for sure!

 

Grotsmasha is a machine though, and both cases are - while truly laudable - not something I would strive towards, or even call a good example. Why rush to something with almost three months of time still ahead of us? And why waste vows on such small units?

 

As mentioned above, and using a 40K rule as a metaphor: slow and purposeful crushs your foes!

[Captain Semper]

OK, I suppose you didn’t mean it that way, but I need to say a few things just to make it absolutely clear:

 

People paint at different paces and have different pipelines (and miniatures’ stash). Furthermore we don’t know what RL obligations one might have during the ETL and what drives one to complete his/her vows early or late in the event. Also, how people want to utilize their vows is totally up to them: every vow is valuable and appreciated.

 

From what I gathered Grot (a veteran member of the Inner Circle and instrumental in the making this year’s ETL) never suggested that his way was preferable nor that he was setting an example. Not even that this was “his way” in general. He just felt like painting three minis fast in three separate vows.

[Excessus]

Everybody has their own ways and speeds. 

[noigrim]

Cultists done! See, it wasn't that dramatic

[Darnok]

Nicely done, and properly chaotic. Me gusta!

[Captain Semper]

Welcome MegaVolt, quite a vow you got there! :tu: Best of luck mate!

 

Now, do I sense fatigue in the Chaos camp? Things have slowed down somewhat in the last couple of days...

 

BTW, If you want your vow to make it in the first Weekly Update, you need to make it by Saturday! ;)

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[jkoczan42]

Started my vows today with two plague marines. Got the green layed down on them (the most time consuming part), and should be able to finish them in the next few days. So excited to work on these bad boys.

 

[Dragonlover]

Fatigue? Nothing of the sort here, the weather just decided to imitate November for a few days so my lighting was absolutely garbage.

 

Dragonlover

[KrautScientist]

Wonderful work and great enthusiasm so far, everyone! Let's go do this! :)

 

A small update for today, as I have finished the first part of my first vow: Here's the "Not-Hamadrya" for my Khornate take on Huron Blackheart:

 

 

 

 

More pictures can be found in my WIP thread.

[Darnok]

Well, the CSM participation numbers rise about as fast as the DA ones over the last days - we are just so much more already, so in relation we grow "slower".

 

Painting makes daily progress on my end, and the next vow is WIP as far as building goes. So all is well for me.

 

How are others doing?

[Excessus]

*sigh*

 

The weather is wonderful, perfect for sitting with a nice open window and paint stuff...but I'm still waiting for those new colours... :P

[Dizzyeye01]

Thankfully, I'm just finishing up college work today so a lot of time is going to free up over the next couple of days. I have managed to get some guys undercoated inbetweeners work so they'll be first on the list.

[ChazSexington]

Question; the dog chewed up my Greater Possessed's leg, can I remove him from the vow? I'm gonna get a replacement, mind.

Question; the dog chewed up my Greater Possessed's leg, can I remove him from the vow? I'm gonna get a replacement, mind.

:rolleyes:

 

There is always a crazy event...

 

Here’s the deal: find a replacement first that should be very close in points terms and then we’ll do the substitution.

 

And DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT DOG! :P
