 Gotta do this bonus styleAix Athanatos posted:
 Making an oath addition: Nicole, Sisters of the Blade Captain; Templar Knight; Unicorn (all from Reaper Miniatures) and Jeannne d'Arc 2.0 from Corvus Belli. Jeanne d'Arc is my prize from last month, courtesy of Corvus Belli. Every model I have from these guys kicks rear end, I can't recommend them enough.

The pre-conversion picture was always required, I guess there was confusion because I put 'before' picture in the How to Oath section and a lot of folks were thinking the unpainted but completed conversion was sufficient.

How about, as a compromise, maybe even for just this month only, you can post a pic of what the model normally looks like, as sold, so you can see the difference in what we've done.

moths posted:So can we get grandfathered in? I've already started converting my alt universe oath, I wanted to see how it would go before I formally oathed it. If there's been inconsistency or conflicting guidance, that is probably my fault, and I apologize. Please show what you have now and I'll approve any good-faith effort that is in the spirit of the contest: showing off your conversion work to the thread. That goes for everyone else, as well. This is a quarterly prize for the best conversion according to Manifest's best judgement, so if anyone missed out I'd encourage them to try again next month, or go for a following quarter. e. Fix posted:How about, as a compromise, maybe even for just this month only, you can post a pic of what the model normally looks like, as sold, so you can see the difference in what we've done. Not a bad way to work it. Show us how your conversion differs from the original model, so we can see what you did.

SRM posted:Just run outside, spray prime, and run back inside if you have air conditioning. I did that last summer when it was 80something and humid for a week at a time. This is what I ended up doing and the Kazak ended up perfectly fine and even survived another run outside to hit a spot just under his backpack that had missed some coverage.  Good thing I've limited myself to only a single model this month.

I have a question about the Box Art bonus. Can the original art come from a Games Workshop codex? A lot of the space marine stuff is default Ultramarines on the box but there are lots of pictures and examples of other chapters in their respective codex. I am also wondering how exact the models have to match in order to qualify for the bonus points (this has to do more with me unsure if I can reproduce the quality level and less to do with not trying to follow the scheme). I am asking because I am thinking of doing a group of Tactical Spacemarines next month and want to do them in traditional Dark Angel colors but that is not what comes on the box nor is it on the website.

Those are veterans though, which are completely different models. Normal tac marines don't get those spiffy robes. I mean its not really a big deal, but it will determine whether I do space mans or trolls for next months oath.

Bavius posted:I'm curious what the ruling on this will be as well, just for future oaths. Yeah, 'box art' is just a general term for 'the official paint scheme from the manufacturer' so go for it. Just provide a link or something to the original, official artwork. This was intended to be a fun way to replicate the original paint from whatever company makes the miniatures you're painting.

However, just as a reminder (and you may already be aware of this); this does not count as your June Oath. You will not earn any points for doing it. If you want points for June, you must also do a regular Oath. On the spreadsheet, I only bother to track your Oath Complete post for Whales, so you won't see much there till you complete it, but you were correct to post this Whales Oath post and Sole.Sushi still has to approve it. So you're fine, etc. go forth and paint.

I want to paint another mech but then I won't have one for august. Unlike GW games with boxes of plastic minis, BT uses a few metal minis. And they're $15-20 each. I don't have a big stockpile of unpainted minis.

Oath Complete! Gather round, Gladiators! Socrates has a story to tell. It's a story of being a Themed Group - the theme being The Ancient Mediterranean. If you don't worry about the whole Greek/Roman thing and the several hundred intervening years, you can see old Socrates teaching the finer points of the gladiatorial arts to his men:  Let's take a moment to look at ol' Socrates there:  Why, he looks familiar! Indeed, he was modeled after the Reaper official Box Art! Now that nasty tigerman has something to say regarding his Backstory quote:Every man is at war with every man in the absence of a sovereign to compel them towards peace. Life in these woods is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short - something must change. By steel and blood I will tame these wildlands. By sweat and sorrow I will force a lasting peace to the lake and its inhabitants. If you follow me, I cannot guarantee your safety. What I can guarantee is possibility - the possibility of a civilized future, in which the mad dog can find no quarter to make his home, in which he who breaks his covenant is unwelcome. We will all die, or we will all live - but if we live, we will live together. Talk among yourselves and reach consensus. I am your sovereign, or I am not. In either case, I am off to battle.  If you look closely at Mister Hobbes there, you'll see that something nasty happened to him - he's taken Battle Damage to the left eye!  To recap, I am claiming an entry to the Themed Group bi-monthly drawing. I am also claiming the Backstory and Box Art one-time bonuses.

 Oath Complete! Good lord this was impossible to photograph.       I imagine this is what The Expendables 8 will look like once the industry discovers necromantic resuscitation. Battle Damage (June Detectuv’s Jurnal) The zombies are absolutely covered in gore. I read the tutorial on 'less is more', thought about it for a bit, then threw it out the window. Bullet wounds and cuts seemed like obvious places to spatter and leak blood, with hands and mouths perhaps less so. Speed Painting I zoomed through painting the Marvin figure. (He is perhaps better known as Mr. Change-the-sculpt-before-Miramax-sues-us.) Before:  After:  Parts list I made sure to note the paint I was using on the aforementioned Marvin figure. All paints mentioned are Reaper Master Series Colors:
Box Art  The paint job matches reasonably well (though I took some liberties on the blood spattering), and the base colors match up with each character sheet for easier visual ID during play. Double the fun! I needed to stop myself so that I could save some challenges for future months. Edit: I knew I forgot something. This is a Themed Group.

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.

Oath Completed! I lay claim to both Detektuv’s Jurnal: Battle Damage as well as a Themed Group of Dark Angels Vehicles Here are some additional photos      I really had trouble with those decals. I followed the instructions that I got form GW and first did hardcoat then the decal then lahmian medium, but that left them terrible looking. I tried to mess with them but was never able to get them perfect. Maybe someone has a guide they could point me at as I have always been interested in doing custom decals but am always discouraged on the idea after messing with GW decals. So this came really close to happening:  I like to think is some alternate universe I went through with it and it turned out awesome.
