With all the love for Reaper paints, here's a good a place as any to mention I just finished securing Reaper Miniatures as a prize sponsor for next years Oath thread. Another small spoiler: We'll be opening the contest to pretty much all lines of miniatures, so time to dust off those Infinity, Malifaux, etc. sets you've been meaning to take care of! edit: VVVV At the moment I have my hands on a big cash gift certificate that I can buy stuff with, divide into smaller gift certificates, or cause a single goon's head to explode by giving it away as is. Discussing some options with one of my judges, but odds are it'll be gift certificate prizes in the end. That way people can get paints, minis or bits as they like! Reaper offered me even more 'once I go through that' but they can only give away so much at once. While I'm tempted to ask for more later, I don't want to kill a generous sponsor off the bat. Whoever takes over after me will likely be able to get -much- more. thiswayliesmadness fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Feb 10, 2012 |

Anyone have any tips for making bases/terrain that looks like it's had a recent rainstorm? Like, not "raining right now, let's jump in puddles while shooting dudes!" but "Great, it rained two days ago but it's still muddy as poo poo." Here's (a lovely photo of) where I'm at right now:  There's some rocks in there that need picked out to break up all the brown, but since the dirt itself is so dark, I'd I like to try and make it look like a muddy foxhole. Is it just a matter of adding some water effect puddles after a coat of varnish at this point?

This is fantastic and I think you should get as many gift certs as possible, screw the next guy. Having great prize support will make the thread more popular right now and grow it, we can worry about future prize support in the future. Growing the thread's base and the contest will make it easier to get other sponsors the year after anyway.

If you thought the gift certificates we're awesome, you should see what they're debating offering as (their own words) "a Grand grand prize". You guys will flip your poo poo and goons will start painting their pets just to participate.

If you want to paint a bunch of epic minis, a bust of Darth Maul, your motorized WWII Tiger tank, or anime magic girls we'll find a spot for you. Pretty much anything goes! Just expect somethings to be harder to do the monthly theme with than others. Edit: And before I make another post about the contest, I'm accepting donations for the goblin grab bag if anyone wants to contribute. Since we're widening the categories, almost any mini can be donated (just please don't use it as a dumping ground for wrecked stuff).

So for this battalion challenge I'm taking part in I have to convert a general for my army using only pieces from the box and also representing any magic items they might have. This is my attempt at a Slaughtermaster with Hellheart and Greedy Fist! The apron is made from a modified Ogre banner, while the Hellheart is a spare section of arm with a bit of green stuff to tidy up. I added the chef's hat and massive cheeks and double chin just to give him some more character. Also it's hard to make out in this photo but I painted the veins on the heart in a deep purple. The only bit I want to work on some more is the shading on the apron's overhang but it's past 3am and I can't be bothered right now.

My most recent painting:    Mantis Warriors Rhino I painted for a broham. In total I'll be doing ~12 Rhino chassis vehicles for him. He's doing the MW logo with a custom decal, to be added to the side hatch.

I kept wanting to join in the oath thread but I kept getting confused. If when it says like, paint x for this month, would people mind me saying I have XXXXXXX which of these is suitable? I don't actually play any games I just paint so when someone says a warcaster or HQ I just try and find the most pointy model or the angriest looking one.

Well, in the past it was a warhammer only thread but the new one will be open to any minis so I assume that means the whole structure with the force org stuff will be changing. That said, if you want to have a few options and ask the thread what to oath I am sure no one would have a problem with that.

All will be made clear in the new OP that Thiswayliesmadness is working on; if you're still unsure, feel free to ask the judges if your piece is a valid oath (it probably will be).

edit: /\/\/\ Missing out on a month or two is perfectly fine. You might not have enough points to go for some end year prizes, but I'm working on monthly and special prizes you could still get. Depends on what I can get for/from sponsors. There might even be something special people can do if they fail their oath...  PaintVagrant posted:When does the new one start? Plan is to start it around the beginning of April. The current Oath Contest ends this month, and there'll be a month hiatus for people to recoup and buy more stuff. More details as things get closer. Throw out almost everything you know about how the current contest works. The system is being gutted and re-tooled to work better for everyone. We'll find a home for almost anything you want to paint! Edit 2: I need art help!

Bad Munki posted:Seconding this, I think that's what we all really want to know. The old one worked where each month you could oath something (usually according to a monthly theme like, this month is elites and this month is troops or whatever), and you would get points for showing a WIP pic, finishing on time, or incorporating an Iron Chef style theme ingredient (like, say, freehand designs or lettering or whatever it was that month). If you skipped a month, all that happened is that you weren't eligible for a prize that month and you didn't accumulate points. You weren't eliminated forever or anything.

I can also help write the rules or monthly "requirements" in regards to what people need to paint for various systems, since I am a game whore and have basically played almost everything at some point. Assuming you need that sort of help, I have no idea what sort of structure you are using

So the GW basing kits come with resin bits for decoration. They are very thick chunks of resin. Should I just saw off the bottom centimeter and be damned if it's not even?

I'm still slowly working on my Vampire Counts. I would love some feedback on them. Especially on how to finish the bases. I'm also considering painting Fleur-de-lis on the shields. I also have to fix the metallics. (sigh)    Click here for an actual size where you can sorta see my highlights!
