I need to paint them for the Independent characters oath anyways, so why not double dip?

Also, can I claim Fly Your Flag on this for the Slaanesh icon?

Kinda nice to be back doing these.

I think the plan is to scrap it? I'm not certain. But I do know that only 8 goons completed alt universe oaths in the last year's thread, and more than one survey response was against it.

I also promise to do my best to not quit 3 months in because of my retail job. I no longer work retail which means I actually have weekends and predictable spare time to actually work on this. The prize I won last year is unpainted, but I may do that next month, what with the summer theme and all.

Last season, it was just 1 figure minimum. I'd be surprised if it changed from that.

I think those orcs might be Mantic, as Reaper doesn't use hard plastic sprues like that.

I'm confused about a few things that's going on in here, probably because this is the first year I join in the oathing.
People talk about whale oathing. I don't know what that is, but since I'm Scandinavian, I assume it involves killing whales.

And I don't get this achivement:

quote:

Double the fun!
Do TWO Detectuv’s Jurnal/bonuses on one model. One Jurnal and one Bonus is fine too! Be sure to tell us which Jurnals or Bonuses you have completed when you post your Oath Complete picture.
I'm pretty sure the Jurnal is whatever's going on during a given month, like the 'take at least 3 Work In Progress pictures' that's happening right now, but I don't get what a bonus is.

I don't see the point given that 03 May in the UK can be anything other than May in Samoa. It is a stupid loving rule.

moths posted:

You won't be saying that when the blight of daylight savings time rolls around.

The rule is great to simplify deadlines. But it serves no purpose there. The date was fine either in UK or Samoan time as it was taken on the 3rd May. Unless Samoa is 72+ hours behind or about 28 days ahead the photo was taken in May. The exact time it was taken is meaningless.

Stupid loving derail and I will stop whining.

'Whales' is a shortening of '[I'm gonna] Save the Whales', which is when a person fails an oath in a prior month and attempts to finish it up in a subsequent one. It needs to be declared, and doing it allows you to requalify for some of the prize drawings/points/whatever that you would have missed had you just left the oath failed. I think there may also be a special Whales-Only contest draw.

Note: Often people will declare both an Oath and a Whales at the same time: The 'Whales' oath saves the credit they lost for the prior month, while the actual Oath gets them credit for the current month. I think we had at least one case last year where someone thought their Whales oath allowed them fix their failed oath AND to get prizes for the current month, and they had an unhappy surprise at the end of the month. :ohdear:

'Double the fun!' is do any two Jurnals or Achievements (previously called 'Bonuses') on the same oath. This can spread across different minis in the same oath, as well.

We haven't updated 'bonus' to 'achievement' in all of our documentation yet, so hopefully this clears up that confusion. :)
