Wow. OK. Some seriously amazing stuff coming through :)

I'm at the Nurnberg Toy Fair this past week so I haven't had much time or internet connection, but I'll give you this next month's Inquisitor's Journal theme, which is 'break the 4th wall'.

Like last year, this involves somehow adding something to your model, paint or base that is outside the normal genre of any model you Oath this month. You can sculpt it, add a bit, do a conversion, paint it, or whatever.

There are a lot of cross-genre models and game settings out there, so there's a LOT of leeway for this Journal. If you have any questions just pipe up, it's OK.

I'll update this post with SRM's fantastic art and the storyline as soon as I can.

Would real-world references qualify here, or are you looking for elements from other fictional universes?

Like thespaceinvader says, basically anything can qualify here. If you want to throw in a Matrix reference on a Mars Attacks model, go for it! It's really not strict at all: mix Scooby Doo with the Aliens universe, blend Doctor Who into 40K, whatever. Paint Tony Blair's face on a Land Raider, if you want to. This is limited only by your creativity, so I'd expect a LOT of pretty wild entries this month vying for the Judge's points! Painters and modelers go wild :) Just have fun with this one.

Also, I clarified the post to say that you only have to do the Journal one any one model you Oath this month, it doesn't have to be on more than one model unless you want it to.

Base coat the entire model in the same color as the torso? That'll make it legal to oath, if I understand the rules correctly. Then you can just continue painting them whatever.

Hi guys, late night before I leave for the UK but all the Oaths so far look good, get started on them! I'll look at them closer when I get home and settled, plus post the link to December Oath Photo Album, which I didn't get to do before I left.

I did get it, haven't had a chance to reply to it yet, sorry! I haven't had a reply from Dragon Forge on prize info I've sent to him in at least a few months, (as well as the ongoing incommunicado from Games'n'Gears) and I really don't know what to say. During the summer Jeff was emailing me shipping confirmations CC'd to the prize winners but that has dropped off now. I will send the latest prizewinner info and ask what's happening with anyone who's piped up with missing stuff. It seems I'll have to drop two sponsors soon.

Well it would probably win you the entire month if you do it as well as that guy! But yeah, depending what you put it on it'd definitely work as a Journal. Put it on a gritty space marine or even a modern-day character or vehicle, etc., and I'd say worlds are colliding!

It's not that, just the one guy that does everything is really busy and really behind on things. Games'n'Gears is always pushing out new product and that keeps them super busy. Expanding your business in one way can hurt it in other ways, unfortunately. But we'll see! I am on the verge of dropping G'n'G, it's just very very hard to get what was promised from them.

I was thinking of doing it on some Relic Knights figures (which is kind of an anime-esque setting but the official paint jobs are fairly standard, e.g http://sodapopminiatures.com/relic-knights/diamond-corps), though possibly will do a practice run on some other guys first. Doubt it'll be anywhere near as good as Gundam Guy's stuff though.

Sadly not, will need to do some more research first. I'll try remember to write up my findings.

ASK ME ABOUT HOW SCOTLAND'S PROPOSED TRANS LEGISLATION IS DIVISIVE AS HELL BECAUSE IT IS SO SWEEPING THAT IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY ABUSED AT A TIME WHERE THE LACK OF SAFETY FOR WOMEN HAS BEEN SO GLARING
Just wondering as I don't see it in the rules, but is there a limit on how many Jurnals you can claim for a single oath? For example, if I were to come up with something that had a custom banner, freehand details adorning its body, and moody object source lighting casting dramatic light upon its fourth wall breaking madness, would I be eligible to claim four jurnals at once?

I'm not sure I could manage all that, but if I did.... ;)

afaik you only get the 1 point for doing any Jurnals in a month. Multiple achievements can be claimed though.
