So I primed my models for this month early on, and just painted two of the three, but I've discovered the third is missing an arm - if I paint him in his box color scheme but he's, uh, partially disarmed, can I still claim the box art bonus?

Oath Complete One GW Ork Battlewagon Detektuv’s Jurnal: Weathering This wagon has lived a tough life. Its paint is scratched and peeling, and that mud needs cleaning off Because it can be configured with either a ram, a deff-rolla, or just as-is, I had to make use of the montage rule to show everything off. Hopefully this fits with the intended spirit/purpose of this rule.

OATH COMPLETE Aurora, Numen of Aerogenesis and a Skorne Titan Cannoneer The lights on Aurora were the first time that OSL really clicked for me. I think they look pretty good, though it's hard to see in these photos. I then did the titan and tried OSL from the torch (on his hand), which came out pretty good too. Still working on photo quality, but getting better I think.  Aurora   Titan   Detectuvs Jernal is the powder residue on the front of the cannon barrel.

OATH COMPLETE      Detektiv's Jurnal: the Weathering Both tanks got mudded-up pretty well. I did the paint weathering slightly differently on each tank. On the Renault I used a lot of washes, then fixed the colors by re-applying the base color before highlighting. On Char 2C (green one), I did the same thing but also vertically streaked the highlight color (mixed with the base color) to break up the huge flat surfaces and make them more visually interesting. There are chips and flakes throughout. This is a Themed Group (  )The gun and muffler on the Renault are Conversions (scratch-built). Backstory: I originally posted this in the modelling / painting thread, but here's the Poitou's non-fiction story:  moths posted:It's a French FCM 2c super-heavy, the largest operational tank ever. Only ten were produced, and each was named after a region of ancient France. This one is No 90, Poitou, which had a sweet olde-timey skull and crossbones painted on the fore turret.

I promised these sooner than this, so many apologies. I've got some goodies coming in sept/oct so I'll see about setting up a little something special. And if I'm lucky, grabbing another sponsor! Was really disappointing going through the thread seeing some amazing projects that never got finished in the end. Save those Whales people! Let Ye Be Judged!!! 1 point: Bucnasti  I've seen this guy painted up lots, but you really drove the rocky look home. But it's the bits of grass about it and the great shading that I'm tossing you the point for. 2 points: SRM  Lateral thinking earns you points! Cybernetic troops as plague marines works really well creatively for those Iron bros. 3 points: Android  Papa Nurgle loves you so loving much. Bonus Point: enri  I really love the idea of using a 40k tiny ripper and converting it into an Epic big beastie. Lots of great work as usual! Really makes it hard to narrow down to a lucky few!

I hope so: On the small beige tank, the muffler and machine-gun are both bits of sprue that I cut, drilled, and stuck paperclips in to build. They weren't parts that came with the kit - it originally had a 37mm cannon (which I didn't attach) and no exhaust. I could take a photo similar sprues and a paperclip if you need that, but I thought they were common enough materials that it wouldn't matter; Like submitting a 'before' photo of the green stuff blob before you sculpt something with it.

OATH COMPLETE   The jurnal entry didn't come out so great in the photos, but his lower half and elbow pads, as well as the Tractor control device were liberally drybrushed a pale brown to represent general wartime dustiness. Asphyxious fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Aug 27, 2013 |

moths posted:I hope so: OK, that's good enough. I didn't notice that some parts of that tank were scratchbuilt. (Generally for conversions I'm looking for a specific "this is the model before conversion" and "this is the model after conversion (possibly painted or just naked)" photos. I can figure it out if people get me something reasonably decipherable, though, and you've done that.

I think Warmahordes is 28mm the same way GW is, i.e. some of them are about that tall... I'm more-or-less finished. I need to base the remaining 3 guys then varnish, but I reached the stage of 'gently caress it, Devlan Mud' at this point. Should be finished Wednesday (given time to glue on basing sand, let it dry, wash it, let it dry, then varnish). Then, boooones motherfucker.

It'll be a race to the finish for me again, I've finished the Grels and just have lenses to do on the Aegis defence line, but I've got eight more minis to finish, with only the Aspiring Champion with base coats at this point.

oath complete! I'm so sorry about the quality of these pictures. I got stressed out due to a long trip for work for the rest of the month, and I haven't had time to set up a photo space in my new apartment. With that:  8 15mm samurai, with spears and swords  8 15mm samurai, with arquebuses, decapitated head or in the act of becoming casualties. Again, sorry for the bleurgh photo quality.

Yeah I was hoping to do something funny with the cough-drop bag but have spent the last several nights cleaning up pet corpses and blood because of terrible bad luck so I'll probably just end up painting and flocking the drat thing. Just be happy to finish my actual oath in the next few days. sheesh.

Well, it's a small OATH, hardly worth mentioning, but it is ... COMPLETE. Got the test model for the color scheme on my Nurgle CSM/Daemon army done. Had to strip it and start over, but I think it'll work now. I'm considering going back to hit the wounds, pustules, and maggots with some gloss varnish, but I'm not sure. The bases turned out OK, as well - I got a whole slew cast up for the army. My Weathering for the Detektiv's Jurnal entry is the rusted plaguesword. I've never painted rust before, and I've got to say, I'm happy with the effect!

Display board is done. Served me well at the OFCC earlier this month, though it barely fits in my lightbox.Germ posted:From my reading of the rules, the display board isn't part of your monthly oath, it's just a seasonal thing, right? If I'm wrong let me know, and I'll post a full oath (that I can always add to later). However, for now I REALLY need to get a display board painted for this weekend. Therefore: And, all finished-like.

Raphus C, Oath complete: Detektiv's Jurnal: There is scratched paintwork all over the bike and dirt plastered everywhere.   This marker also has rust:  I rolled a 6!...or a 20...or maybe an 01 - There are 6 vehicle damage markers. I have craters and removable weapons for the rest.

OATH COMPLETE School has started back for me so I'm glad I only had two models oathed this time. Both are GW Chaos Terminators from the same unit as my July Oath and painted the same way, with an exception for the DETEKTUV'S JURNAL. I didn't want to try anything too complicated, or do something that would require extensive repainting of last month's models, so I tried to create a verdigris effect on their brass sections with layers of dark green->green-> green+blue washes on the appropriate metal bits. Hello!:  Side View:   Rear View:  Banner:  For next month, I can either work on some GW Fantasy Beastmen I bought to represent lesser demons years ago but never got around to, or finish a handful of my plague marines, but I haven't decided yet.

Oath Complete! 3 Cryx Bonejacks, 1 Slayer Helljack, and 1 Deneghra  Bonejacks  Slayer Helljack  Deneghra  Skarre, Queen of the Broken Coast  10 Tactical Marines  Sergeant Dantalion alongside the heavier firepower  Librarian Ipos  Crashed Thunderhawk terrain  For some inane reason I have Skarre, Queen of the Broken Coast in my original Oath post but didn't bother to list her as to what models I was painting. I'm hoping that isn't going to be a problem. And now the Strike a Pose bonus:  Sergeant Dantalion's 4th Company squad arrived at the crash site before dawn. The billowing smoke choked the sky, blocking out the waning rays lighting the up the broken, rotting landscape of Solaris IV. A cursed world, once a mining operation for the ever-valuable adamantine, but now was wasting away from the repeated incursions of Nurgle. His pustule-covered servants had laid waste to the local PDF and were running wild, infusing the local landscape with disease, making even the simple grass a deadly encounter. The Angels of Absolution were the only ones within close proximity, and sprung into action. The 6th Company Thunderhawk Gunship had promised reinforcements to the beleagured troops fighting to clear the corpse-jungle five clicks south when it was shot out of the sky. Giant, bulbous flies had swarmed from the steaming jungle, latching on to the outer surface of the hull before exploding into burning acid, burning through the hull in seconds and causing a catastrophic engine failure. By the time Dantalion and his crew arrived, there was little left to salvage; most of the crew were dead, yet few of their fellow marines were left as casualties. Deep grooves in the dirt told that a Rhino APC had been here, and not too long off. Librarian Ipos--dark, brooding Ipos, whose fiery temper was kept in check only by the cranial implants of his psychic hood--ran a hand over the acid-splotched hull. The faint glow of an exposed engine panel drew the attention of Brother Leraje, and upon further inspection found that the plasma coil had been removed. Something was off here. A faint psychic trail lingered; this, coupled with the missing coil and marines, gave the marines a new purpose. Perhaps there would be time to save their brothers, before whatever evil these Nurglites planned bloomed to fruition. - - - Well, I had fun this month! The Librarian especially was a joy to paint--even the banner wasn't too obnoxious, in the end. I'm a bit unhappy with the gunship terrain pieces though; for some reason it came out really washed-out, more than I intended, but I think that's just from the water I used when I 'salted' it. Bonuses for this month: Detectuv's Jurnal (Weathering) and Strike a Pose.

Oath Complete! Jurnal and Strike a Pose 28mm Zombiesmith and Spartan miniatures  Jurnal rusty tankette and smokey barrel  Strike a Pose! Rytt had just about enough of this war. Good thing he was only 2 days from the end of his tour, all he had to do is get through the next 48 hours and go back home to his kit an kin. The moth-wing wine would be much the sweeter from his own porch, instead of hold up with 9 other Quar in their trench bunker. Of course that is when the orders came in, one more recon mission, there is always one more mission it seems these days. This time his luck had run out, just like his fuel. But the war was over for him now, by the time he got back to the trenches he would be a free Quar, or a dead one. Packing up his last termite hardtac and his trusty Doru SMG he started the treck back to camp. And was that thunder he heard on the horizon....  And my Quar tank driver for when it get all blown up.

It's going to be a challenge to say the least to get my oath finished, Finished my yellows on the tank just need to mask it off and do some blue details and detail and base the dire avengers. The orc and goblin are pretty much done just need based. Deadline is midnight on the 31st?
