Some Dullcote (or airbrush some semi-gloss lacquer on there) and you're golden! I don't like kroot (I've only played against them a couple of times) but they look a bit better in green than they do in brown. Anyway, just to repost this in case anyone missed the edit I did to my last post (at the bottom of the last page): We now have 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. The consistency bonuses have been updated as well, to this: quote:Good Start! - complete 3 oaths (this is new) These used to be 'oath at least 6 out of 12 months', 'oath at least 9 out of 12 months', but now it's more specific to awarding completed oaths. Essentially for every 3 oaths you complete, you get an extra point. This change doesn't affect anyone at the moment, since we've only completed 2 months of this oathing season, and if you're completing this month's oath and have completed the last 2 months' as well, hey that's an extra point! It's like being on Oprah! Extra points for everyone! Anyway, just wanted to make sure people saw this.

I hadn't really thought about it, initially it was going to be a space marine captain of some description but as I'm horribly indecisive I decided I'd just oath the base alone and decide on that later on. I'll include it for the sake of judging at the end of the month and if I do put something on it, it won't be part of an oath most likely (to keep things simple )

Hi everyone! No I'm not oathing anything, I'm too busy packing for 2 consecutive trips that see me out of town until the 21st, plus I don't know what I have that I can Cut And Swap to satisfy the requirements of the Detektuv's Jurnal. Instead, I have a gentle reminder for y'all (sorry, my Texan is coming out): 1. Remember please no more than 4 pictures per model or group of models! 2. Please keep all your Oath Complete pictures under 1024 pixels across! These rules are meant to keep things from getting to the point where some folks have a billion extreme close-up pictures of their models under a microscope while others have one blurry picture for the judges to check out. Here's the complete set of relevant rules from the OP: quote:NUMBER OF PICTURES

Oath complete! One GW Runtherd with 'upgrade' I did this month's Detektuv’s Jurnal: Cut And Swap by swapping out the left hand/forearm for a space marine power fist. I'm also claiming Speed Painting.

Oath Complete I did the CUT AND SWAP so here are the before and some progress images.

I'm such a point whore that I found myself not painting things after I finished an oath since I wanted to save it for next oath. Way back before I started with oathing I used to paint freely and get a lot of work done. I'm a little relieved that I can oath and paint without having to obsess, as much. I'll have to take a look at the qualifications for some of these other prises. I will have to.

That's good to know. Will brush-on gloss do the trick, or should I use spray? So far the satin varnish I used seems to be mitigating the damage pretty well. I still have a few frosty assault rifles, but I was able to save the mecha suits and most of the regular dudes, and the ones I didn't especially like got the worst of it.

You live in some gods-forsaken part of the world that feels like a hillbilly's armpit, no? It's usually humidity that frosts. I can tell you plenty of horror stories from living in East/Central Texas. Gloss coat in a reasonable environment, then after it dries, re-coat with matte. Spray it in your air conditioned (but well-ventilated) house if you need to.

The opposite - too little humidity - can also cause frosting, as the varnish dries before it hits the model.

I didn't even think to do in in AC, but that should work perfectly since AC works by removing the humidity. I live in PA. We have three minutes in September when the humidity dips below 50%, which is when I guess I'm supposed to spray everything I own. But thanks everybody, you'll see how they came out soon! (I hope.)
