After reading the bit about how conversions are actually accounted for in the judging process I'm actually regretting using an awesome conversion I had planned out for my Grey Hunters this month. Oh well, it just means I'll have to use the one I had planned for my Blood Claws instead in April.

If you don't stop giving yourself such a hard time we will hunt you down and give you the biggest hug ever man. We'll do it.

On the other hand, it may result in an influx of dudes that are just here for the prizes.

Even if that's true, worst-case scenario we'll get more competition and more models every month. Best-case scenario we get another Bavius.

Well, I'm heading to my local GW tonight to pick-up the starter painting set (because I'm a lazy sack) as my foray back into painting. My first oath will most likely be one of the space marines that comes in the pack (even if it means that's not enough for an official oath).

I'm pretty sure my first efforts will be terrible, so be prepared to see some seriously crappy rear end space marines parading around in here.

Really looking forward to it!

Glad to have you, PMJ.

Just to point out since it seems like a few people got a little mixed up:
The most varied models in April is for a single Guild of Harmony: Steampunk Dorothy prize, not the monthly theme.

Oh I know, I'm referring to the general idea of not wanting to oath anything only to have the Irongob reveal work better with another model or somesuch. OR I could assemble all but one of the Blood Claws and have the last one wait out for the Irongob so I could figure out how to incorporate it in some way.

I hate to say it but I may just oath only a few Blood Claws this month, what with school starting to wrap up for me.

Between April and May I will have finished my original 500pt list, though.

Danger - Octopus! posted:

Seriously, this.

I got really disheartened the oath thread before last, because I'm not that great a painter and when compared to some of the people, my miniatures looked like they had been finger-painted by a child.

Once you stop taking macro photographs of your spacemans (and glaring at their flaws which are made SO OBVIOUS when you upload the image to SA) and instead actually see your fully painted army on a tabletop, getting knocked over by dice and suchlike, quality and detail becomes less of a concern and you can think "Hey wait, my fully painted army actually looks just fine when I'm standing over them with a beer and tape measure"

So you're saying the beer goggles effect extends to miniatures, eh?

Oath Complete! <-Click

All three Blood Claws, each with their own specialization!



Another Blood Claw wielding a shield; I'll probably add a few more before the entire 15-man unit is finished.



He also doubles as the Secret Ingredient entry: a bionic arm.



Next up is the berserker; his love for you is like a Trukk. I had bought some Chaos Warriors to eventually convert into 13th Company/TWC-counts as models and wanted to include some leather glove-wearing models. I'll probably add a few more, like with the shield models, before the unit is finished.



Finally, the Blood Claw with a Chainaxe. Not much to add except that I think he looks awesome; his model alone takes bits from several kits:

-Space Marine Tactical Squad (backpack, shoulder pads)

-Space Marine Assault Squad (legs)

-Space Marine Scouts Squad (grenades on his hip)

-Space Marine Sniper Scouts Squad (trophy Ork skull on hip)

-Blood Angels Death Company Squad (head)

-Space Wolf Pack (Chestplate, axe-handle and wolf-tail talisman)

-Khorne Berserker Squad (chainaxe head, holstered pistol)



I also decided to try using the new textured snow paint but ultimately feel like using sand and PVA glue will work better; I definitely foresee a use for the paint on, say, painting the treads/crevices on vehicles to represent accumulated snow.

I also finished waaaaaay earlier than I expected, so if I get bored I'll probably oath Njal as well since he's been primed for like a million years already.

Fake_EDIT: Also, if the models feel like they have a lot of blank areas it's because my decals from Forgeworld have not come in yet. They'll be filled as soon as I can do it, though.

Making a new post just so people catch this:

Oath adding note

If you add to your oath, please include your previously accepted WIP pictures, point them out as such, and say what they were. This will make keeping track of people's running oaths much easier. With so many people in the contest, it can get a little crazy sorting through everything.

Sure thing, I'm going to edit my Njal WIP post right now.

Oath Complete, Part 2: Revenge of the Stormcaller!



Fun little model to paint, but all the little ropes turned to paper-thin waifs and made it awkward to deal with. In any case, I have a 270pt model to throw in with my otherwise-miniscule army.

For the month of May, however, I - bhsman, oath to complete 4 Blood Claws.

I paint to my own level of satisfaction every month and have won prizes in the previous two contests; this was always about people getting paint on their models, even if it wasn't rendered in a perfect artistic expression of the grim, dark future.

The monthly prizes, though... Actually I think I've once won some bases from Dragonforge but you always seem to notice the misses more than the hits.

It occurs to me that a dangerous threat looms large over this thread...

It is a Great Devourer.

It will consume many of our participants.

It will destroy time itself.

I, of course, speak of Diablo III.
Say what you will about Blizzard games, but I know a bunch of you (myself included) are biting at the bit, counting the very seconds until 12:01 AM of Tuesday, May 15th rolls around at your local video games dealer. You scurry home to begin your seclusion from the world at large... And sadly, your oaths will suffer Diablo's wrath!

So, I implore all of you: resist the temptations of the very hells themselves, and complete your oaths this month! But, if you find that you, like the Dark Wanderer, are ultimately too weak of will to resist the call, ensure that your oaths are light enough this month that they do not become a regret.

I shall have to discuss this dark revelation with the other Prime Evils...

You're just making excuses for when you are unable to fulfill your duties as judge over playing your female Daemonhunter.

There are other bits but they were kinda fiddly and small and felt I just needed to get the torso and legs in. Let me know if you need another picture, Sushi.
