I thought I'd do a quick colour test on the Judwan team I'm painting this month, and then I thought I could make it a quick colour test and do some speed painting. So, yesterday afternoon-  And this afternoon-  With a not-backlit, almost useful light source-    The yellow backplate is for the player number decal, which I'll be adding at the end. Parts list, while I'm at it- Eyes- Vallejo Foul Green + GW Nuln Oil + Vallejo Foul Green + Vallejo Sick Green Teeth- GW Screaming Skull + GW Skull White + GW Agrax Earthshade Bodysuit- Vallejo Sombre Grey + GW Nuln Oil + Vallejo Sombre Grey & Vallejo Stonewall Grey Skin- Vallejo Stonewall Grey + GW Nuln Oil + Vallejo Stonewall Grey & GW Skull White Suit Plating- GW Enchanted Blue + GW Asurmen Blue + GW Enchanted Blue & GW Ice Blue Backplate- GW Iyanden Darksun + GW Flash Gitz Yellow + GW Seraphim Sepia Metal- GW Boltgun Metal + GW Mithril Silver + GW Nuln Oil

I, Illudere, oath that I will paint the original (they've since been resculpted) starter box for Thaniras Elves from Spartan games for the month of June! The set consists of 10 ships in all including 6 frigates, 3 cruisers, and 1 battleship. The scale is 1/600.

Sole.Sushi posted:3 Points: Germ! Holy poo poo! Thanks a million for the kind words and for the vote of confidence! I'll be oathing a bit late this month, not because I'm not working on it, but because I have a bit of work to do before I can have an unpainted oathable model to photograph. I may be being a bit ambitious, but I'm going to try scratch-building, molding, and resin casting my models before painting them. Perhaps a bit stupid, but this month's Detektivs Jurnal inspired me.

It is well deserved. Your scythes are incredible and I am sorely tempted to rip off your color scheme in its entirety. If I were not already trying [failing] to replicate the Maynarkh colors out of IA12 I would be.

Grey Hunter posted:I am also claiming the Sins of my youth bonus, this is made up personal thing that gains me 0 points, but 100 self esteem points. These are from my childhood, I was about ten when I painted these the first time, and I need to atone for this. Luckily, I'm a packrat, and found a load of arms and weapons that go with these guys. If I had a 10 year old I think I would be pretty proud if they were able to paint a group of guys as well as the first picture. That being said I am pretty sure I would have their vision tested if they painted the second. I say save at least a few guys from your childhood just the way they are.

Yeah, I think some of my orks will stay unstripped. The second paint scheme I think comes more from limited resources - I only had one yellow paint, and wanted to do a desert scheme. Shame that paint was Bad Moon yellow or something like that.

Ah you are so right. I considered doing more detail, actually painting clouds and grass and what not, but I was so terrified of ducking it up so close to the end of the month and having to submit it being all rubbish  To be fair, most games will take place on green felt, so at least it will fit in  Thank you so much for the kind words! Really keeps me going. Having said all that, I had been debating doing a melty chrome thunderwolf like the T1000....

Gak! Thanks, Fix! Hmm... seeing those pictures again makes me think that I need a bigger lightbox. An army eventually gets to a size that makes it pretty hard to photograph en masse. I do wish I had known how big the new wraiths were going to be - I modeled my wraiths to be a similar size to the older ones.

 OneTrueBru, Oath Complete!  Unfortunately I'm stuck using a borrowed ipad camera again, so these aren't the best photos. I tried using a backdrop but the lack of exposure (or is it aperture?) control meant that everything just got completely washed out, so I just stuck with the low-effort option. I did remember to re-size, at least.   I've missed out on the Jurnal points this time around, as battered wargear would make him look out-of-place next to his squadmates. I briefly considered scuffing up his chainsword, but figured that would be a bit too lazy to count.

He could probably use a bit more contrast in general, but I'm fairly happy with how he turned out. May as well just do this here: I, OneTrueBru, wish to declare an alternate universe oath. I promise to complete these 4 dark angels at some vaguely-defined point in the near future!  Honestly, they should be done fairly soon. I'm just playing it safe as I need to order in some more green paint and miscellaneous supplies.

Well, I was considering for a long while wether I should do an oath this month or not, seeing that I'll be abroad for most of this month. Then I realized that from a pure points perspective, making an oath, even though I'll probably fail it, is worth more points than not making one at all. With that in mind I, Lord Hypnostache, oath to paint this one veteran guardsman with a plasmagun, made by GW.

OneTrueBru posted:
Your paint jobs are sublime. There's lots of June left, so if you're pining for those points, you could always try oathing additional models. Another option is to recycle a previous month's Jurnal. It's only worth 1 point instead of 2, but 1 is better than 0! counterspin posted:I think it would be awesome if there were some way to oath the construction of a light box, just to encourage lazy asses like myself to step up their photography as well. You know, I think we actually considered photography-related points/contest/stuff but we ultimately decided it might be unfair to folks who are basically stuck with their phone camera or whatever. But a light box is still a pretty significant advantage in terms of claiming Judge prizes, I feel: it's just really hard to notice a good paintjob in a poor photo. Even without a light box, though, OneTrueBru's photo here is an excellent example. It's well lit, the model is in sharp focus, and there are no sharp shadows (the light is diffuse). Those are really the three key elements to a quality photo of a miniature, and the results speak for themselves.

Then I realized that from a pure points perspective, making an oath, even though I'll probably fail it, is worth more points than not making one at all. With that in mind I went and did a bad thing, I didn't even wait for an approval before announcing that OATH COMPLETE  I'm also claiming Speed painting, Detektuv's Journal and Double the Fun! Here's a close up of the battle damage. Since he's using a plasmagun prone to overheating, I wanted his arm to look it's been badly burned. I couldn't get the sleeve to look as scorched as I wanted to, but I'm really pleased with the skin. I just basically had no plans and just experimented, and turns out a little red wash gives that nice pinkish scar tissue look.
