Hey, what's your favourite Clash song? No not that one... Or that one... Scratch, that, what's *a* Clash song? Four Horsemen plus a spare

I Weirdo Oath to paint these five Chaos Knights, Games Workshop 28mm, to use as four psychopomps, with the additional horseman acting as a "dark rider". If anyone has any suggestions for great colour schemes for Chaos Knights, please share them! I'm not constrained by an army theme, and am fine with 4 clashing-coloured NPC/boss battles :black101:

Welp, left for the weekend to see my bitch Mom for Mother's Day. Dog tried to kill my cat, wrecked my painting table, broke my new airbrush, shattered my 90% painted oath model, can't find his arm now, then succeeded in killing the cat. Sooo... At least I have enough time to order another one to finish the oath this month? How's everyone elses' May treating them?

Aww, that sounds like you need a warm bath and a cool beer. I just need to retake my Oath photo :doh:

They haven't been primed yet since I'm still adjusting to pacific weather, but we've got a clear day so I want to prime my chaos horses.

Oath Failed! for May

I had the 10 Kasrkin done on time but I underestimated how long the Inquisitor would take to paint. Oh well at least I've got some painting done and that's what it's all really about right?

Indeed, I still have one or two unfinished sets from last year and now I've got a new army of mantic dwarves to start :psydwarf:

I might put a counter on this one, too, though I'm not quite sure what for as it's not gonna be flying or losing heads.

You might want something for a fiery aura, or a spot for swallowed minis :getin:

Edit: Also for what it's worth, I'd love to oath some figures and try out some zenithal priming on them.

Question to anyone with experience on the matter - can I, a Canadian in Vancouver, ship a can of mini varnish through the mail? It's in near-mint condition, but is it likely to get stopped at the border?

Hey, Army Painter got back to me with a PDF of the MDS for Quickshade! That was quick, haha.

First off: this is not nice stuff. Don't breathe it in. It's flammable too. It is irritating to skin, can seriously damage your eyes on contact, may cause lung damage if swallowed(!), and is harmful to aquatic organisms so don't pour it into a river.

Section 14 covers transport information, and it says:

As a Class 3 flammable liquid, you must label your shipping box with the appropriate hazard label. FedEx and UPS will both ship Class 3 materials, ground, with the appropriate labeling. I think they may require you to qualify in some way before allowing you to ship hazmats, though. These items also require specific packaging, for example UN POP is a packaging standard which FedEx requires you comply with, with some exceptions, and with additional requirements: " For packages weighing up to 20 lbs. the outer package minimum requirements will be a 200 lb. Bursting test or 32 Edge Crush test package."

They provide additional guidelines for paint, which a quick reading says basically you have to have clips on the lid, and pack using absorbent material.

here's FedEx's shipping guide (PDF)

So...

My advice is to contact Canada Post or check out their website to see if they'll ship it and if so, what the reqirements will be. Or, maybe this is too much hassle to ship a $20(?) can of paint to America or the UK...

Wow thanks! I'll have to look into mailing it to krushgroove in a week or two when I've got more time, but mad props for this post. Honeslty, if anyone in the Vancouver area needs some dip give me a private message :haw:

Finding out you need urgent surgery will do that to you. Wasn't able to sit at my desk in a way that facilitated painting.

Woof, best wishes to you. I'm a little annoyed at myself for sitting on my butt last month, it's always good to get some perspective on things.

Unfortunately you forgot the American Samoa time - sorry to be a stickler about this but don't want to let things slip too much! if you can re-take the Oath photo with whatever progress you've made you'll be fine.

Whoops, keep forgetting that :doh:

Oath Complete! :hellyeah:

Three Mantic ogres (who ended up much redder than I planned) and ten Abyssal Dwarf Immortals (a.k.a."the Bucketheads"). I followed the basic Mantic pattern for painting Abyssal Dwarves.

Also I'm loving the Dale Gribble for Mars Attacks.
