 Oathbreaker Time I decided, with the narrative of Mr. Green, to go film noir with my oathbreaker theme. Thus we have our first month's avatar, ripe for picking:  Forget it, ya git. Itz Failuretown.

Leperflesh posted:I have the brands/manufacturers for your models down as "Zvezda" and "Battlefront" but I'm not sure if that's right. Can you confirm? As Thundercloud already said, that is correct. The P.IIIs are made by Zvezda, and the P.IV by Battlefront. Just wait until I start getting into PSC, Skytrex/Command Decision, Peter Pig, Quick Reaction Force, and if I get really ambitious, GHQ (6mm) and maybe a local company called Panzerschiffe (1/2400 warships). Really it's my goal to build a DAK force for as cheap as possible, loyalty to brands be damned.

OATHING: Vanessa treasure hunter, Taelor, some reaper mini I'm using as a Desperate merc, Pandora, and a Poltergeist taelor, vanessa, and pandora are Malifaux models. The poltergeist is.. A thing of my own creation to count as the malifaux model of the same name. I dunno if it counts as a conversion for the purposes of the conversion bonus, but here's a better shot of it.

Dr. Gargunza posted:
Please make sure to take a photo of the model after you complete conversion but before you paint. If you want to you could take photos as you do your conversion, but that's optional: the main thing is that I need before/after photos. Thundercloud posted:And a picture of the scouts as they are before the conversions start. Same thing, please make sure to take photo(s) of your converted models, so I'll have before & after. quote:If I do counters, do I have to do the parts as an additional oath? quote:Related question, has the quality of my pictures improved to an acceptable level? They're looking a lot better to me. The lighting is good, anyway. You have a bit of blur on the second photo that is caused probably by the camera moving a little, but possibly also if you are using your camera's Macro mode combined with optical zoom (when using macro you must not zoom the lens, just move the camera closer), or possibly being inside your camera's minimum focal length (you can look that up in the camera's manual). When you go to take final images of your painted work, light it well and if possible use a tripod or at least steady the camera against something. This is all of course just bonus, the photos you have right now are above the minimum for me to see what you're doing at least. Zhent posted:My Alternate Universe Oath: As sushi said, we need the timestamp. It establishes that you're starting with an unpainted model this year, as opposed to maybe using an old photo you took three years ago and you already painted your miniature and are cheating. Which I don't actually thing you're doing, it's just the rules.  Signal posted:I Signal, being of frail mind and full of self loathing, do oath the following models: No, you don't have to declare those now. Also, hey everyone I am quoting Signal's post here because I like how he is showing his conversions. I can click the links in the text and clearly see images of the converted models, before painting, so I can see what's converted even if I'm not familiar with that particular model. Also holy poo poo you converted epic-scale infantry, that's nuts! Ledgem posted:The poltergeist is.. A thing of my own creation to count as the malifaux model of the same name. I dunno if it counts as a conversion for the purposes of the conversion bonus, but here's a better shot of it. Absolutely. Scratch-built is the ultimate level of conversion.

Dagon posted:I, Dagon, oath 15 sprues worth of these mysterious ebayed ruined buildings That's from tehnolog (that's how it's spelled...), a Russian toy company. Their website is only available in Russian, but you can buy them from a single ebay seller. Not gonna link it though since it seems to also sell illegal copies of Forgeworld bits. At least it seems shady that they've sold exactly the same bits for years now. Fun bonus fact: Tehnolog is also the original creater/producer of Imex/Hexagon/Conflix/syberclicks stuff. It's just rebranded and repriced for the western markets. Avenger_Mullah fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Jun 2, 2013 |

I'll get a better picture of this guy when I complete my pledge (the dark color scheme is not playing nicely with my low ambient lighting right now), but I think I just accidentally speed-painted this guy:  I love painting zombies.  While I'm here, could I also get a rules clarification? I'd like to get the point for basing this month, so would adding just a single figure to my pledge (assuming I put effort into the base) be enough to qualify? As my original pledge is all board game pieces, I'm purposely painting the bases as solid colors to make them easier to ID on the board. If it's expected to base my entire pledge (instead of just one fig), then I'll just deal with losing the point for June.

I, Fuegan, oath to paint 4 Seekers of Slaanesh, one Herald of Slaanesh on Steed and one Eldar Guardian. I would like to nominate the Seekers and Herald as a Themed Group. I couldn't figure out a way that I'd want to do battle damage on Daemons since I imagine they're pretty pristine what with being warp entities that disappear when wounded, so I thought I'd throw in the Guardian as an excuse to try out the Alaitoc colour scheme.

Rules question regarding Get Based Out:The OP rules posted:...you can submit ANY base you do this season as your Get Based Out entry - you don't need to do a separate base just to qualify. Your Get Based Out entry may be part of any oathed model, however it should be completed as part of a regular oath or an oath addition - NOT as part of an Alternate Universe oath vvvv Makes sense, thanks for the clarification!

Blimey. Loads of action in the oath thread since I was able to log on last! Deanut Pancer posted:Rules question regarding Get Based Out: This is the perfect opportunity to do the base and 'complete' your model with a sweet base Since you're the first to ask questions about this specific mini-competition, it's a good opportunity to clear up the wording of the rules for this. You make your normal model oath, or oath the base on its own, and then complete it before the end of the current month. When you post your finished pictures, make the declaration that this is your entry for the Get Based Out competition. It has to be a PLAYABLE base for whatever rule system you're doing (so no 5" high plinths for a 40K model, for example). The judges will look at the base with the completed model you've done the oath with. I've updated the rules for Get Based Out slightly: quote:0 points for completing, AND you can earn a sweet prize for having the best base, based on the judges' votes!

Mt. ORourke posted:Speaking of conversions, does this count? I'm inclined to say, yes, that counts. It's on the edge, though: I'd like krushgroove to confirm. Big Willy Style posted:I Oath 5 Ravening bikers and a kit bashed Belial. Take closeups of your kitbashed guy, get credit for doing a conversion! Iris of Ether posted:
The spirit of the rule is that every miniature that, in normal practice, has a decorated base should have a decorated base. If you do this, you earn the basing point. This definitely applies to most tabletop wargames, and also to most figures used in roleplaying games (e.g., your D&D figures for table/mat combats). It gets a lot fuzzier when we start talking about board game pieces, because as we've seen, some board games are designed using transparent bases, some assume you'd never paint your figures, etc. In this particular case, I don't know anything about the game so I can't really judge whether those bases "ought to be" decorated or not. If they are normally decorated, you can't earn a basing point unless you do all the ones in your oath, regardless of what else is in your oath. If they aren't normally decorated, you're fine and don't need to add anything (although you always can if you want!). You could corroborate your argument by pointing to other online cases where someone's painted the figures but left the bases a solid color or unpainted?

The slideshow is finally ready to view! Check it out here: https://plus.google.com/photos/101792256154658567736/albums/5884929453098956369?authkey=COTc1qXJvpKL2gE Please check it out and make sure your completed pictures and any Detektuv's Jurnals pictures are included. Because the pictures are in random order (but grouped by participant), you'll have to look to find your group of pictures you posted earlier in the thread. I'll give everyone a day or so to make sure they're pictures are in there and any user names are added to the first completed picture before handing the slideshow over to the judges. Leperflesh posted:I'm inclined to say, yes, that counts. It's on the edge, though: I'd like krushgroove to confirm. Yeah I'd say that counts - it's adding stuff to the model to customize it. Iris of Ether posted:I'll get a better picture of this guy when I complete my pledge (the dark color scheme is not playing nicely with my low ambient lighting right now), but I think I just accidentally speed-painted this guy: To add to what Leperflesh posted as his reply, I would say that if you paint all the bases of the figures you've got there in whatever color you like, that's good enough for the basing point, you don't need to do glue/sand/paint/flock to just one (and the way we've got the rules set up right now is that yes you should do all the bases for an oath to get the point). These sorts of things are going to come up with the variety of new board game models we've got so we appreciate you asking before going through with your plan to base just one guy.

I, UngorEatStefan, oath this Dark Sword Miniature's Dwarf Miniature (totally not Bruneor from The Crystal Shard btw), and this Reaper Miniatures Valkyrie  The shield in front of the dwarf belongs to the Valkyrie, I just haven't attached it yet because I want to paint the Valkyrie first. I also plan to go all out on the base for the Valkyrie. Getting the oath in early and having not a lot of commitments this month should HOPEFULLY provide for much better oathing/painting/photos on my end. Looking forward to try some battle damage in this one!

These sorts of things are going to come up with the variety of new board game models we've got so we appreciate you asking before going through with your plan to base just one guy. Great, thanks! The flow of the game has each player controlling only 1-2 heroes, with all the zombies (up to ~100 in my case) being controlled mechanistically after a round of player turns, so it's convenient to have the hero characters 'pop' in some way that doesn't require visually hunting for a single sculpt on the board every single round. Board games can drag enough as it is. Plus, the character sheets are color coded to match the original plastic color, so that's convenient.As for what the community's doing, it doesn't look like there's any single convention, judging from the pictures on Board Game Geek. Some added extremely fancy bases, some painted them solids like me, and some just play the game unpainted out of the box. Iris of Ether fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Jun 2, 2013 |
