I, Pash, have completed Speed Painting!  Also what is with weather in the Midwest recently. Like half my state got a ton of snow in May... I might as well include Part's List: 1 Foundry Men at Arms 1 Gale Force 9 magnetic base Base was does with medium and small grit and small grass patches from the Gale Force 9 "Summer Pasture" Basing Kit Citadel Static Grass Citadel Paints: Waaagh! Flesh, Kislev Flesh, Caledor Sky, Runefang Steel, Hashut Copper, Leadbelcher, Ceramite White, Mournfang Brown, Skrag Brown, Mephiston Red, Abaddon Black, Macagge Blue, 'ardcoat, I also used a X-acto knife and the Citadel clippers I used Floquil Silver Fox/Renard Argente Brushs Since these were both done on the same model this means: Double the Fun! Unless someone tells me otherwise I will post these against when I complete the rest of my Oath. Also can I make a alternate universe oath before I have finished the rest of my oath? Just got this High Elf Loremaster who wants me to paint him... Pash fucked around with this message at 03:19 on May 5, 2013 |

WIP 1. Oh God, What was I doing yesterday? I know I was tired, but I just seem to have slapped the paint on like a three year old. thankfully, its nothing that can't be easily fixed, but its odd to come downstairs and look at your models and not remember doing that much. Colour schemes looking good though.

It's come to my attention that in order for my Nemo model to be qualify for extra points during our FLGS' league, I'll need to do some minor conversions. Do I need to repost my oath if I'm adding a shield to his arm?

I'll assume that because you posted in the Battletech thread that Battletech mechs are allowed this year? Since i'll likely paint one, or at most two, at a time and dont really care for the rewards/prizes and thus points, do i really have to follow all the officialness like "aww its a baby" and 'saving da whales"?

So, I intended to take my time this month but last night I got bored, sat around, painted and smoked cones... OATH COMPLETE   FLY YOUR BANNERThis is my banner of devastation. It isn't how it is in the codex because I am too lazy for that poo poo. I just got a grey knight terminator banner. Shaved down the hand a bit so it was the size of a power armour hand and sculpted some pretty basic flames on the front to cover the Grey Knight dude. I just by picking at the green stuff with my scalpel, pulling it up to get the effect.  Da Detektuv's Jurnul

I would say you don't need to repost (I'll leave the final word to Sole.Sushi though), but it would help us if you quote your original post when you post your completed picture.

If you really don't care then by all means post an oath and just get some painting done, but apart from encouraging people to paint part of the fun of this thread is that we've set up lots of prize drawings that everyone's eligible for, even if you don't think you'll be in the top ten at the end of the oathing season (next April). krushgroove fucked around with this message at 16:30 on May 5, 2013 |

 Detektuv's Journal 2: That... went a lot faster than I expected. The linked image is huge. But the base colors are done, and I just have a few comments about that: First, the colors look lighter than you'd expect. That's because I used the highlight color and will darken them with washes and inks, letting the model do most of the painting. After that, I'll detail with webbing, canteen covers, backpacks, hair, and fix any additional details. Second, that's a lot of white guys. I'm usually conscious of stuff like this and try to avoid it - but the actual US army was segregated until '48. Black and white soldiers couldn't 'officially' fight side-by-side until December '44, when Eisenhower allowed black soldiers to reinforce the lines in the Battle of the Bulge. (I learned about that this morning, this hobby owns.) Parts List Vallejo: 983 Flat Earth - leather and wood parts (scabbards, shoes, 874 USA Tan Earth - trousers 994 Dark Grey - metals, hoses 887 Brown Violet - painted metals (helmets, equipment) 927 Dark Flesh - skin 878 Old Gold - ammo belts Citadel (Games Workshop): Death World Forest - Jackets

Sorry I haven't piped into the thread yet--it's been a busy last week. I, PierreTheMime, oath five Pink Horrors of Tzeentch and one Skull Cannon of Khorne!  These models are of a Games Workshop variety. I intend to complete a Backstory for this oath. Also while I'm sure I don't get a point for it since I'm an oath vet I couldn't resist adding Awwww! a BABY!  My wife and I just had our first kid last Saturday.

Zhent posted:So I understand that models need to be only basecoated or primed to qualify as starting oaths, but what if I've primed different parts of the same model white and black? So I need to prime it all black and then re-prime the wings of my model white again? I didn't include these in the original pictures, and I'm not sure if it actually makes any difference to the oath, but since they are a sponsor of the entire Thread and the bases are great, I wanted to include a picture of my Dragonforge bases that the attack bikes will be based on. These are going to be consistent throughout my entire Ravenwing army.

Congratulations Big Willy Style! You are the first goon to complete an oath this year! You've also claimed points for basing, a one-time point for doing a banner, and two points for doing this month's Detektuv's Jurnal. You now have 10 points, putting you in the lead! However, you did miss one possible point for putting your username into your Oath Complete photo. If you do go back and edit one in, please post again so I know to credit you for that point. Kommando posted:I'll assume that because you posted in the Battletech thread that Battletech mechs are allowed this year? It's worth mentioning that battletech mechs were also allowed last year. This year, though, a minimum oath would be just one 'Mech, so it's a bit easier. You can just say "aww it's a baby" when you post your oath and you get a free point. Not that hard! The 'saving the whales' thing is an optional thing you can do if you fail an oath but decide you want to finish the models you oathed later. It's up to you if you want to do that!  Zhent posted:I didn't include these in the original pictures, and I'm not sure if it actually makes any difference to the oath, but since they are a sponsor of the entire Thread and the bases are great, I wanted to include a picture of my Dragonforge bases that the attack bikes will be based on. These are going to be consistent throughout my entire Ravenwing army. It's fine, but next time do include your fancy bases in your oath post if you've got them handy. It helps us to see you didn't paint up some bases in a previous month and then use them for finished models, for example.

I'm glad this is back! Since I'm not in the military my chances of surprise deployment has dropped sharply, so I can actually commit to things! This'll be a great opportunity to (re)paint my Templar army and finally get it 100% painted, and add a few more toys.

Im playing conservative as its my first oath ever and this is a busy month for me and I am awaiting delivery of the MDF bases to put them on (they come with bases in the pack but they are metal and I dont like them- so so fussy).
