I, Germ, hearby oath the following for the month of July: 1 28mm Nomad Morlock from Infinity (Corvus Belli) 5 28 mm wreck markers, built and cast by myself (compatible with a Warhammer 40k Land Raider, Land Speeder, Dreadnought, Drop-pod, and Rhino, respectively).  I wish I had time to paint more Infinity models, (I have a backlog of them) but I've been really busy building the wreck markers. I'm on track to launch a kickstarter for them by the end of the month, and wanted to have some of the master casts painted. Wish me luck! As has been previously established, the wreck markers are terrain. I'll be claiming this month's Detektiv's Jurnal with the Morlock. I prefer my Morlocks with chain rifles, so I cut off her assault pistol and replaced it with a cut-down Tau pulse-gun-thingee from Games Workshop. I reckon that would also make it a conversion. The pieces pre-conversion with time-stamp are below, followed by a close-up of the model post-swap.

overthefalls posted:I, overthefalls, oath the following for July 2013:  Oath Addition! I, overthefalls, additionally oath 1 Menoth Templar, from Privateer Press, converted from an old metal Menoth Crusader.  Note: The photobucket app for iPhone sucks and I lost my pre-conversion picture.  I've included the bits that I ripped off of the original model- The head was taken off and replaced with the plastic Templar head. - The mace was cut off and replaced with the Templar Flail. - The left arm was cut off and replaced with the plastic Templar left arm, and the Shield will be attached after painting. If this can still count, great. It's a little late to go backwards.

  OATH COMPLETE    These are the five photos I'm allowed! And wow, this was a fun trip outside my comfort zone: Huge 28mm models, urban basing, and no prescribed color scheme. I tried some NMM chrome on some visors, had (then fixed) a sealer froster disaster, and played with wet-blending skintones and gore. For bonuses, I can claim: +Speed Painting:  before  after +Themed Group: (Warpath Plague) +The Detektuv’s Jurnal x 13 (I realize it only counts once.) (The only uncut stock model in the group is the special character.) e: Oops, also This is an entry to Manifests's conversion contest moths fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Jul 15, 2013 |

I OATH THESE 12 'ARD BOYZ, CONVERTED FROM GW ORKS AND SOME SPECIAL KROMLECH BITZ There's a fair amount of conversioning going on in there (as will be more apparent when they're done), but to be sure I'm honoring the detektiv's jurnal appropriately, here's a textbook job:   I'd also like to claim conversions and themed group on these suckas.

Can we do an additional oath if we have already completed and posted our monthly oath, or does it need to be made before the monthly one is done?

That earth elemental looks fantastic, I really hope I have one in my order! Deanut Pancer posted:Quick question about this: Does it apply to all judges as a group, or separately for each judge? Say someone gets 3 points from judge X, does that mean only judge X is unable to award 3/2 points next month, or does it also apply to judge Y and Z as well? I am actually not sure on this, it was one of the rules that was carried over directly from the last thread....thiswayliesmadness, can you (or Fix, Sole.Sushi or any of the judges from last year) please elaborate how the Bachtere Clause worked?

It's judge specific. If I give Oather X 3 or 2 points, I can only give 1 point to Oather X the following month. The other two judges can give Oather X however many points they want the following month (assuming they didn't give them 3/2 points the current month).

The other two judges can give Oather X however many points they want the following month (assuming they didn't give them 3/2 points the current month). Correct! Making it judge specific was how we went last year. Each judge has their own category as well so in theory, there shouldn't be a ton of overlap.

I need a "before" picture of what an unaltered figure looks like. You can grab it from the internet, any state of painting is OK (but unpainted would be ideal); just something that lets me see clearly that your "after" photo, here, is clearly a conversion. I'll credit you for the monthly theme once that's edited into your Oath Complete post, please post to let me know you've done that. Thanks. overthefalls posted:Bonuses: Detektiv's Jurnal (Cut and Swap), Conversion, Themed Bonus, Speedpainting (see below), Double the Fun! By "themed bonus" I'm going to assume you meant Themed Group, and credit you for that. Rikthor posted:Can we do an additional oath if we have already completed and posted our monthly oath, or does it need to be made before the monthly one is done? Please see the section titled "Oathing Additional Models" in the third post. Basically, yes, you can add models to your current month's oath (complete or incomplete) in "Gotta do this bonus’ style": if you do so, you must finish your new models in order to get credit for completing the current month's oath. This means if you've already been given points for completing the oath, I will take them back until you finish your added models. Alternatively, you can make an "alternate universe style" oath, which earns you no points or judging, but doesn't put your current month's oath at risk, and there's a special prize drawing at the end of the year for goons who completed at least one alt universe style oath.

This image is your "after" conversion image. I am grudgingly accepting your original oath photo as a "before", but honestly it's very poorly lit and hard to see the parts. I can see the greenstuff and obvious signs of the conversion in the after photo, though, so I'm allowing it: but in the future, please try to light your bits with something when you photograph them. Thanks! thiswayliesmadness posted:Correct! Making it judge specific was how we went last year. Each judge has their own category as well so in theory, there shouldn't be a ton of overlap. The judges no longer have different categories to judge on, but otherwise this is right. I've been double-checking for Bachtere Clause violations when I input the judges' points, by the way. SRM posted:Also I don't know if I have to quote my original oath complete since these are an addition, but what the hey: You absolutely do! I only want a single link for "oath complete" in the spreadsheet. So thanks for doing that.

For the Cut and Swap I plan to remove the bow and both hands, replacing them with Games workshop ogre hands (punch dagger and sword).

Oath Complete! Hexeris and Cyclops Raider  Hexeris:   Raider:   Detektuvs Jurnal is the Raider: Overall I like this chop job. It always looks better with paint, and thankfully my sloppy green stuffing isn't too apparent. Also I'm still playing around with how to take really sharp photos. I tried putting a light from the direct front, and that's improved things a bit. I still feel like some things are out of focus or not lit just right. Or maybe I'm not getting the levels right in photoshop. I'll keep playing around for next month, and any tips are always helpful.
