Leperflesh posted: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! I'll maybe dig out some of the DV Chaos stuff, they would certainly make a nice change from painting DA/Deathwing and they're easier to scuff up. I just need to decide which chapter I want to plonk the traitor marines into. Germ posted:The miniature is in focus and well-lit. You have nothing to apologize for, and I'm impressed that you got this out of an iPad! The little camera on it doesn't seem too bad, it just flips the hell out if I try placing models against a background that's too light or dark. With no way to easily lock exposure without screwing up the focus, trying to photograph miniatures can get a bit temperamental. And thanks for the kind comments, all.

Indolent Bastard posted:Did your primer skunk? It all looks rough and textured. The model itself is pretty textured, but I did hit it with three types of primer in an attempt to do the zenethial thing, which brings that out more. The white was pretty spotty, but I decided to try and run with it by doing really thinly layered paint to use the varying sized white spots as a sort of natural texture. So far, so good, actually, though it's going to be an exercise in madness to have to keep painting and re-painting the edges of this monstrous metal thing, since I can't actually mount it to anything in order to paint. And yes, it is the base extension to end all base extensions.

 Judge Time!3rd Place, 1 Point: Matgash  Super clean paint job. Edge highlights are awesome and consistent. 2nd Place, 2 Points: Fuegan  Not only did the slime effect turn out awesome, but from top to bottom the other parts of the models are just as cool and filthy. The horns/teeth/claws, the open wounds, the skin, all of it maintained a consistent tone. 1st Place, 3 Points: Red Shoe    Love the wide variety, all painted to the same high standard. Great bases, all the bases are super complimentary to the figures themselves. Like the restrained use of the static grass on the Trollbloods, combined with the little bits of lichen here and there. Great snow on the big buy, really goes great with the browns on the figure and the rest of the base. Detektuv's Jurnal Bonus, WIP Shots, 1 Point: Deanut Pancer  Nice, crisp pictures. Like the pictures of the paints in with the models at the various stages. Great job everyone else. Lots of good stuff.

I figured it out, these are Privateer Press, but this year we're asking folks to put the manufacturer of their models into their Oath posts, because there are some manufacturer-specific prizes going on. I'm heading out of town for the next ~48 hours so please don't anyone panic. Also Lord Hypnostache has taken the lead, with 23 points! OneTrueBru is right behind at 21, and Pash and Slimnoid are tied at 18 each. Red Shoe rounds out the top five at 17 points.

Waiting on Kommando to respond to my question about the terrain piece, and also waiting for another shot of the barrel that is part of Under 15's oath. Lethemonster has been approved just now  and I completely missed MSP somehow. I seriously have no idea how I keep missing people--it's become a problem for me, honestly, and I hope it's just the volume of posts that cause me to miss them.

Is it too late to add in speed painting? I'm like an hour into painting and done with both special weapons, and I'm starting on the 4 normal guys (which won't take too long). e: gently caress it.  OATH COMPLETE Original oath pic: Squad completed:  Plasma gunner:  Melta gunner:  4 standard stormtroopers:  Speed painting clocks: Plasma and melta gunners finished:  Right before visors on the 4 troopers and final touch ups for everyone:  Backstory: ODA 7134 was about to drop behind enemy lines, once again. This time they brought a plasma gun (unreliable as they are; venting the plasma into the gunner's face never ended well for anyone) and a melta gun, for anything big and gribbly that was hanging out on their LZ. Normally they brought 2 meltas (the time they burned down a Traitor Land Raider full of terminators and then ran off howling with mad laughter is a favorite squad story to tell), but this time was different. Rumor was orks and tyranids are in the area, and they were being sent to find out the particulars of whichever xenos had dared to step foot on a planet that belonged to the Imperium. Greenskins could be bargained with, and even encouraged to fight each other; the useless shiny trinkets they had used to bribe a warboss before (and then recovered once a fight broke out over them, and the troopers got to witness how an ork boss really keeps his WAAAAGH together) could be handy again, but tyranids...tyranids just eat you. Nothing personal, just a gnawing hunger and a will to consume anything and everything. 7134 realized the kind of shitstorm they were jumping into once they realized that finding a WAAAGH in progress was their best hope for survival. Can I get a speed painting, themed group, and some backstory going here? e: adding in the all based out pic.

Okay, this thing with the pieces on the sticks? I need to do this. I realized with my failed oath that the reason why it took so long was because I put everything together ahead of time, and this seems to be a way smarter way to go about it. How are you doing this? Blu-tac and sticks? How do you make the things stick to the sticks?

The blu-tac blobs are useful to keep everything organised. I can prime/basecoat something, stick it in a blob, grab the next piece...and so on. For brushwork, I just slot the cocktail stick into a wine cork and use that as a grip.

Some wip shots of part of my Oath. This used to be an Ork Dakkajet but after seeing a very nice looking mustang conversion in the 40k thread I decided to convert it into an Imperial Guard Thunderbolt. Still need to do some detail work and weathering but I'm pretty pleased with how it looks so far.  Looking at the two valkyries I have left to do for this month, I kinda wish I had an airbrush.

Not only is this my first oath, it's the first time i'll have painted anything in 20-odd years, so I'll be keeping a record of all the things that go wrong (that and I have no idea how to do battle damage on them at the moment, so I'll be doing May's Detektuv journal and taking WIP photos).

Break up the paint on the prows? The problem with these out of production models is that you don't want to do anything to permanent to them, I just found a load of plastic Goliath's from Necromunda, still on their sprues! I would use them for conversions, but I know they are never going to be made again. My Dad used to work at a wholesaler for a newsagents, and GW used to put a free model on the front of the magazines. a the end of the month, the magazines would go back to the wholesaler to have their covers ripped off as proof of none sale, but no one cared what happened to the models. So every so often, My brother and I would get a carrier bag full of these things - The ones that stick out are the Necromunda Goliaths, some Bretonian Arhcers and Skink Archers. We always used them for conversions, I have some chaos warriors made up of random bits, I really should take a look at them at some point to see if they are worth salvaging.

I didn't go for the Jurnal, but the month is still young!  I could have had a battle-pic of them from yesterday (where they got krumped by an ork nob squad) but forgot to get it  I should go back and give them a sandy base too, to fit in with the desert theme that I've been working toward for the entire army. If I do that, can I edit it in to my "Oath complete" post and have it still count?

The Cobra Destroyer, which is about an inch long, is meant to be about a mile in length. So they totally count for the small scale stuff. Helldorado is Cipher Studios and is heroic 28 I believe.

Alright. I think basically I need to put a number there, so that at the end of the year I can use a formula along the lines of "if scale <25 then x, else y" and have it work. So let's go with this: 100mm=5km. That's 20mm=1km, so uh... 1:2.0e-5, or 0.00002, which is 1/50000, which is 0.0322mm scale. If I did my math right, but I think that looks about the right order of magnitude, so I'll put in .03mm and call it a day.
