Oh god, Oath Failed  It was a blindingly busy, impressively E/N month. Sorry guys! I'm looking to Save da Whalez and get right back on track. Everyone, your completed oaths are an inspiration to continue. (also my Reaper Bones are probably on the way...eventually. eep)

I, JoshTheStampede, oath for July: One Teddy (Malifaux, Wyrd Miniatures) and one Feral Warpwolf (Hordes, Privateer Press, although I plan to use it as a Malifaux proxy) The teddy is primed white, the wolf is basecoated in brown - that's still ok, right? It's just a single color on each model.

krushgroove posted:make sure your oath complete pictures are in the photo album before I send it to the judges in approximately 24 hours' time! I hate to keep being a squeaky wheel, but could I get this shot of my problem-child diorama in there? It took a lot of work and I'd hate for the judges to only see it in the overview photo.  I, moths, oath for July:  10x Mantic Z-Corp troopers 3x FFG Grim Reapers 1x Mantic Mortis character The Z-Corp models were briefly sold as a conversion kit, where you got equal parts zombies and corporation marines, a sprinkling of ghouls, and good wishes towards finding your own path. This kit was not well reviewed. The marines are cast in an insanely tough resin. Like dog-toy tough. And they sold you a box of 80. I've started building a few in the past, and it cost me some skin from my thumb. (I'll be starting fresh for this month's oath.) The Grim Reapers are from FFG's DUST game. They come poorly pre-painted (as shown) and fairness obligates me to point out that the heads aren't glued on and will require no actual cutting to swap out. They'll be counting-as Warpath Plague Striders. Mortis is Mantic's not-Typhus character that doesn't have Warpath rules and would sit in a box forever if I didn't oath him this month. I won't be converting him, which is slightly ironic because he's already a factory conversion of their Veer-myn warlord.

I, Nathonicus, Oath this Company Command Squad and Platoon Command Squad of Death Korps of Krieg models from Games Workshop for the month of July. Additionally, I oath this Chandra unit from Infinity for my Detektuv's Jurnal converison piece. Here are the Death Korps:  And here is the Chandra Unit:  Here is a detail showing the conversion next to someone else's stock Chandra. The head used is simply a secondary head that comes with the Chandra, so that doesn't count, but I did cut the hand away from the hip, filling in the gap in her uniform where I did that, and reposed the the figure to be running forward vs. standing around as a cheesecake pinup.

That Tau dude is OKChance II posted:In that case can I use these guys? Are these built onto a pre-existing model torso/body where you've cut off arms and heads? My main reservation with this one is that it's a complete build-up from bitz, which is fabulous but not the focus of this month's Jurnal. The minimum you need to be eligible for the Jurnal is bend an arm or twist a wrist, so if you're OK doing that (or a complete swap for an arm with your incoming bitz) then that's all I need to know - but we'll need the AFTER picture like all the other posts.

Unless you paint them flat white, yes. e: actually, assuming some of the models are shown painted on the website, paint what you have with that color scheme and you'll be okay. I was being a little flippant there.

I, YF19pilot, being of sound mind and spirit, do hereby oath to paint 1 'repurposed' Opel Blitz Truck and the German half of the Flames of War Open Fire! box set (2 PaK40s w/crew, 12 stands of Grenadiers (six 5x and six 4x), 1 Panzerschrek team, 5 command teams, and 3 StuGs); everything 15mm and from Battlefront That's a total of either 24 or about 80ish models depending on how you count them. Also, the repurposed Opel Blitz Truck will by my Cut and Swap entry. I built this truck almost a year ago (just never painted it) and I can't find a 'before' picture, but here's the stock photo from Battlefront:  And their spotlight article: http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=1856 It normally has a German crew with a German MG, and is meant for late war. But I've put in an Italian crew with an anti-tank rifle for a desert raiding force.  If the judges deem this not an acceptable entry for Cut and Swap, I will have another model later this month that I'll add to my oath which will fit the bill.

I've got a link to your oath complete post in the column for Diorama right now, so at the end of the year (well, next April) the judges will see what you have there now. However, if you want to make a new post with photos exclusively of your diorama, I can swap in that post URL instead. That's up to you, though, what's in there now is sufficient as an official diorama entry. quote:The troopers, hero, and undead are all 28mm.

I, Mmtheblue, Oath to paint Five Games Workshop Space Marines, one Ork Nob, and some assorted bits (Grenade Launcher and two pistols) for the month of July.  For the Detektuv’s Jurnal I cut off a Bolter and replaced it with a Black Templars' Meltagun (also head/arm swaps, but those weren't cuts). Gotta have dem Chains o' Zeal! Also I don't know if the Grenade launcher counts, but it's going on an already painted Necromunda mini.  Unfortunately, I did this before the Jurnal was announced, but here's picture of the bit before, and the removed bolter bit.

I'll have the bits to do that bergepanther I posted in about a week, and I'll add that to my oath.

moths posted:I, moths, oath for July: Mutants with assault rifles!   The bodies of four marines were painfully bisected and reassigned to undead donors. A leader-type was left in intact armor, and one I ran out of guns and am unsure how that happened. It looks like you only get nine rifles in a bag of resin parts. I'm going to pull an extra from the box unless there's any objections. I can make that single rifle an oath addition if I need to, but that seems silly. Mutants in gently caress-off huge power armor!  I cut the jetpacks off and replaced the helmets* with zombie heads and a blob of putty. (*Which turned out to be glued in place with the weakest hot glue)

I, Under 15, swear a mighty oath to paint five orcs and Grumlok, all GW models. My entry for the Journal this month is the face-masked orc who is reporting to his boss; I wanted to make an orc that was prostrated or kneeling but that poo poo was impossible with these models. Seems like orcs aren't made to do that! Anyway, with this fellow, his neck had to get cut up a bit to get his head to turn far enough, his left hand has been cut at the wrist and rotated so he can rest it on his knee, and his right hand has been cut and rotated so he can lean on his knuckles. That shoulder had to be built up a bit as well, since that arm isn't supposed to sit like it is. Here is a before shot:  The right arm was originally holding a spear as well, but that had already been cut off somewhere along the way.

FELLOW GOONS ENTER YE THE HALL OF BROKEN OATHS  GAZE YE UPON THIS LIST OF SHAME AND REMEMBER  Whosoever wishes to claim the Oathbreaker Avatar of Penitence to have it permanently bonded to their future communicades with your fellow goons, and thus attempt to regain an infinitesimal fraction of your lost honour, may claim the honour within 24 hours, and a fight to the death shall ensue, with the victor claiming the Oathbreaker Avatar of Penitence for all time. (In plain English: No one is required to take the avatar. If you want the Oathbreaker avatar (see it below), in the 24 hours after this post is live, just post in the thread that you want the avatar, and there will be a random draw to see who gets it - but no changing your avatar after you get it!) This month's Oathbreaker Avatar will be a MYSTERY! So you don't know what you're getting until you get it - be careful what you wish for! I have also noted that WE HAVE RECIDIVISTS IN OUR MIDST! Serial Offenders! Repeat Oathbreakers! Heathens! I put it to you, good people of the Oath Thread...what shall we do with these...heretics?! (Votes must come from any participants who have completed oaths for May and June.)
