As someone also working on Iron Warriors, I'd leave the faceplate gunmetal colored. I think gold would look kinda tacky, and there aren't many other options for Iron Warriors than that.

Oath complete.....over two months late....after failing to save the whales. gently caress it, they're done eventually and that's also good (just not for competition points). One Orc Blood Bowl team:   From left to right: Lineorc, Goblin, Thrower, Blitzer, Black Orc Blocker, Troll. There's a part of me that thinks that the troll should have been highlighted much brighter than it was, another part of me that's happy with having a much darker creature backing up my bright skinned orcs.  Oh and I think these photos may be the best I've taken yet, even though there is still room for improvement. Please feel free to yell at me about what to change.

Ok judges, stupid question time, I did ask about this before but got hella busy and didn't do anything about it at the time and I'm not sure I remember the answer  For the 'get based out!' competition, I've already made a base in June but it's completely paint free (but I don't have a timestamped photo of it being built) - Did I need to oath the construction of the base? i.e. do I need a timestamp pic with the components and whatnot that I'm using? or am I able to just oath it either as.. a.) an oath in its own right (i.e. 'I oath to paint this base!') OR b.) part of a model ..and still enter it for the 'get based out' competition?

enri posted:Ok judges, stupid question time, I did ask about this before but got hella busy and didn't do anything about it at the time and I'm not sure I remember the answer The Diorama, Display Board and Get Based Out entry rules are fully updated in the OP, so it should be fully explained now. So far only a couple of people have done their entries and then we got a ton of questions about these mini-competitions, which changed the rules a bit but I'm 'grandfathering in' the already-completed entries so they don't need to post 'before' pictures. The Before pictures, with timestamps, are required purely to prove that you haven't been working on a diorama or whatever for months before the Oath Thread started, and that you start and finish your diorama or display board during the timespan that this Oath Thread is going. Here are the complete rules, hopefully fully clarified to everyone's satisfaction: Diorama 2 points for completing, AND you can earn a sweet prize for having the best base, based on the judges' votes! No additional scoring points to be earned from judges' votes Separate prize for winner based on judge’s scores: a $25 gift voucher prize, courtesy of goon Zhent! Everyone knows what a diorama is - basically a scene that you create, assemble and paint using one or more miniature models. Post a picture of your unfinished/unpainted/in bits diorama (with timestamp) before starting, and post the completed pictures before the end of the season to earn your points and be eligible for judging! The completed pictures of your diorama must be from various angles. Be sure to post 'This is my Diorama entry' when posting your Oath Complete picture to make sure we catch your entry. NOTE: final pictures must have your name in the photos! Display Board 1 point for completing, AND you can earn a sweet prize for having the best base, based on the judges' votes! No additional scoring points to be earned from judges' votes Separate prize for winner based on judge’s scores: a $25 gift voucher prize, courtesy of goon Zhent! What’s a display board? Basically it’s nice themed display for your army to sit on. Large tournaments have judging categories for displays, or just use it in your gaming display at home. For examples, see here: http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?11490-Tutorial-Building-an-Army-Display-Board and here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/234170.page and here: http://www.thehogsofwar.com/category/display-board or just Google it: https://www.google.com/search?q=warhammer+display+board One entry per participant. Post a picture of your unfinished/unpainted/in bits display board (with timestamp) before starting, and post the completed pictures before the end of the season to earn your points and be eligible for judging! The completed pictures of your display board must be from various angles with your army/faction in place. Be sure to post 'This is my Display Board entry' when posting your Oath Complete picture to make sure we catch your entry. NOTE: final pictures must have your name in the photos! Get Based Out 0 points for completing, AND you can earn a sweet prize for having the best base, based on the judges' votes! EXTRA scoring points to be earned from judges' votes Separate prize for winner based on judge’s scores: a $25 gift voucher prize, courtesy of goon Zhent! Go all-out making a base! Use your skills and equipment to make a really excellent base that is still playable on the table. 'Playable' means legal and usable for whatever game system the miniature is use for, so no 5" high plinths for a 40K model, no huge building bases for a Flames of War unit, etc. This mini-competition is different to the two above, because 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 or it may be separate, however it should be completed as part of a regular oath or an oath addition (thus, completed in one oathing month) - NOT as part of an Alternate Universe oath. One entry per participant. Post a picture of your unfinished base (with timestamp) before starting, and post the completed picture before the end of the season to earn your points and be eligible for judging! Be sure to post 'This is my Get Based Out entry' when posting your Oath Complete picture to make sure we catch your entry. NOTE: final pictures must have your name in the photos! To answer your specific questions, an already-completed base without timestamp unfortunately can't count for any points or for the Get Based Out mini-competition, unless you did it as part of a model you've completed earlier in this thread. For Get Based Out you can oath it as a base only or as part of a model, the first picture needs to be timestamped with the unfinished base and any bits or flock or whatever you're putting on it.

Thanks for the clarification to be a further pain in the arse, when you say 'completed' and 'unfinished' - are you solely referring to the painted status of the base, and not the building of the base? (As I'm assuming we could enter pre-sculpted resin bases etc. as well as making our own)If it is whether or not the base has been painted, then hurrah, I shall be adding to my oath later this evening with my base to be painted If not, then boo, I shall make another base at some point in the near future

At the risk of adding even more words to the OP, let's go with these definitions for now: unfinished or bare: a blank slab of plastic or MDF unpainted: simply without paint completed or finished: all done, with paint, flocking, water effects, model, plants, etc. I realize that even a timestamp picture for the Get Based Entry doesn't mean that a base hasn't been painted in previous months, but what can ya do, we have to have a bit of trust. The NSA can't track all of our Oath Thread pictures, can they? can they?

moths posted:For speed painting, do you need to do the base as well? krushgroove posted:If you want the point for basing, yes - the finished picture is basically your Oath Complete picture. Hmm. Well I'm not sure I agree! I have been accepting people's timestamp photos for speed painting as entirely separate from oath and oath complete posts. E.g., Bobgoon can post an oath of eight models on July 3, then on July 17 he can post a timestamped image of one model from his oath unpainted, and then on July 27th he can post another photo, with a timestamped image from July 18th less than 24 hours after the first, and that counts as a speed painted model; and then on July 31st he can post an Oath Complete photo, with all 8 models (including the speed painted one) and that post and only that post counts as an Oath Complete post. This is necessary because speed painting explicitly does not require you to speed-paint your entire Oath. Secondarily, painting bases is not explicitly required for the speed painting challenge. So, if someone were to speed-paint a model but not finish the base, and then later finish the base along with the rest of their oath (if any) and post a new Oath Complete post, I think I probably wouldn't even notice the discrepancy. So, I'll just say that I kind of agree with Krushgroove that the spirit of the thing is that you should fully paint your speed-painted model, to the level of done-ness that you would consider complete for your entire Oath, and if that includes doing basing (and getting the point for basing) then you should do the base. But, frankly I'm not going to track that. I'm going to judge speed-painting photos as a single pair of before/after photos and if all you do to speed-paint is slather on a single-color base coat, dip in a tub of wash, and then call it a day? Well, there's no quality requirement so that's fine. I will say that I'd prefer it if you put your speed painting before/after photos into your Oath Complete post. I think that makes things easier for everyone to see, and maybe the judges will be impressed by your speed painting (and only photos in the Oath Complete post will go into the judges' gallery). But I don't think that's a rule right now and I won't take back a speed painting point if you fail to do that. enri posted:Ok judges, stupid question time, I did ask about this before but got hella busy and didn't do anything about it at the time and I'm not sure I remember the answer Despite his long-windedness I'm not sure Krushgroove has been entirely clear here. The Oath thread is a painting competition. We would be delighted to see your build process, but it's not a requirement for regular oathed models, including their bases. This is also true of Get Based Out, the Diorama, and the Display Board mini-competitions. You need to show us unpainted stuff, with no more than an undercoat or one base coat of one color on it. If you show us more we will like that. The only times we require you to show your construction is for conversion challenges, where we need to see what you've done for your conversion work. krushgroove posted:Post a picture of your unfinished/unpainted/in bits diorama (with timestamp) before starting, Slashes are ambiguous (it's not clear from context whether you intend them to be ANDs or ORs). I suggest one of the following: "Post a picture of your unpainted diorama. It can be in any state of assembly." or "Post a picture of the components you will build your diorama out of, in their rawest form. That means no paint, nothing glued together or sculpted, just the figures and raw materials you'll be constructing your diorama from." If this is what you mean, then what I said above is wrong and we actually want to see the construction process for all three of the mini-competitions. quote:To answer your specific questions, an already-completed base without timestamp unfortunately can't count for any points or for the Get Based Out mini-competition, unless you did it as part of a model you've completed earlier in this thread. For Get Based Out you can oath it as a base only or as part of a model, the first picture needs to be timestamped with the unfinished base and any bits or flock or whatever you're putting on it. By "completed" I hope you mean "painted" here. Again by "unfinished" I hope you mean "unpainted". I don't particularly want to be judging whether someone's undercoated but not painted base is actually made of bits and greenstuff, or is a store-bought pre-sculpted base, or some of both. Moreover, taking a photo of a slab of foam, a hot glue gun, a chunk of MDF, and a tub of spackle probably isn't all that helpful as a "before" photo for a diorama. I'd frankly rather see something more complete... Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Jul 9, 2013 |

My apologies everyone for being wishy-washy at times, I do try to encompass everything I can think of and be very literal with my explanations, and that leads to being very wordy at times. And then at other times I can be very hand-waving and just be like 'well, whatever, that's cool' - that's all my fault! I'm working on that poo poo :P Anyway, the answers I posted earlier should have been more succinct, in addition the rules for Dioramas, Display Boards and Get Based out are already pretty clear in that it's 'post a picture with timestamp of your unpainted' whatever-you've-got, so that's that. As for speed painting, I don't want to create any more work for Leperflesh (my god have you seen that Google Spreadsheet? I can barely get sums to work, I have no idea how he's created all that magic) so I took out the recently-added requirement for basing on the Speed Painting bonus - see his quoted post above for how to claim your speed bonus!

Pierzak posted:Buuuuuullshit. You forgot the special ingredient that makes your models look sooo clean. What is it? And how long does it take you to paint a marine that way? It's difficult to pin an exact figure on anything - as I tend to paint in short bursts and get easily distracted - but probably ~4 hours once all the little details are factored in. The basic stuff is fast, but the time spent faffing around with eyes, seals, bolters, plasma coils, kneepads (  ) adds up pretty quickly. Raphael probably took me closer to 8-9 hours, due to his stripey-sword, tabard, exposed face etc. Oh, the special ingredient is just varnish. Finish off a model with a gloss, then matte coat - it's amazing how much that seems to improve appearance.

enri posted:Hope that's all cool It's not just cool, it's icy hot! Nah you're fine, it's fine, we're all fine, nothing to see here. However... MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT THINGS AND STUFF! First up: TIEBREAKERS! Just in case we have any issues at the end of the oath season (April 2014), here's the sequence of things we'll look at to decide any ties in the points: First tiebreaker is the number of completed oaths, excluding alternate universe oaths Second tiebreaker is the total number of points given by the three judges Third tiebreaker is the number of 1st place judgements Fourth tiebreaker is Detektuv's Jurnal points Fifth tiebreaker is the number of 2nd place judgements Sixth tiebreaker is the number of 3rd place judgements The idea here is to reward consistency and painting skill, plus doing the monthly themes. The normal way to earn points (up to 10 points each month, plus points from the judges) is the best way to get ahead of everyone else of course, but just in case there are any ties, this is how we're going to resolve them. Announcing this now also prevents us having any additional points being introduced later in the season, and should be pretty interesting at the end Next: LINKS TO JUDGE'S PICKS The other thing I want to announce is something minor but just cool, I've made another table in the OP (the second post actually) with direct links to each judge's...judgments each month. This is just a nice thing to have so everyone knows what they're up against! Finally: OATHBREAKER REPENTANCE We've also worked out how to implement the 'repentance' for past failed oaths, which sadly won't involve making any videos of you dancing your way into bloomers made from pizza, but it'll allow everyone to salvage a little bit just in case they haven't been able to finish an oath. The way this works is: complete a Save Da Whales (re-oath a partially completed oath and finish it) and you'll still be eligible for the consistency bonus that you missed out on by initially failing the oath. For details on this works, look for (or do a Control-F for) 'How to Save Your Failed Oath' and 'End-of-Season Bonuses' in the OP. You can do multiple Save Da Whales to earn your way towards multiple consistency bonuses. Oh, and: SOMETHING ELSE! We may be announcing something extra-cool for you extra-cool people...once again, stay tuned! e: added the details for the Oathbreaker Repentance krushgroove fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Jul 9, 2013 |
