 I, Dr. Gargunza, oath to paint (1) Orc Spearman for July! From the Reaper Bones Kickstarter box set, 28mm scale. (Photo pre-conversion:)  I also intend to do this month's Detektuv's Jurnal: Cut and Swap on his weapon, because, I mean, look at that thing. Kinda dainty for an orc, innit? That's why I'll be replacing it with the spear/halberd/glaive-guisarme thingy on the right, from Reaper's Weapons Pack VII (also for 28mm). Edit: Here's the after-conversion pic:

Over half way through the month and I've done no painting since the first day after oathing. It's been consistently about 28-30C here over the last couple of weeks and it's just too warm to concentrate on painting. Either going to be a crazy rush or a horrible failure.

 OATH COMPLETE Sparrowhawk Aerospace Fighter by Iron Wind Metals. Painted in 1st Canopian Cuirassiers colours.    Clan Diamond Shark Adder Prime Battlemech by Iron Wind Metals Painted in Rho Spina Galaxy colours.   As there is no official box art for IWM minis, I am going to use Camospecs, a CGL affiliate site that is dedicated to maintaining the official painting schemes for Battletech. I claim Box Art one time bonus. 1st Canopian Cuirassiers http://www.camospecs.com/Unit.asp?ID=596 Rho Spina Galaxy http://www.camospecs.com/Unit.asp?ID=489 Negative Entropy fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Jul 20, 2013 |

I, Thundercloud, Oath 1 Black Reach Nob by Games Workshop in whatever the hell scale GW uses, 12 Mordred class FLAILs, 1 Morgana class FLAIL and 12 Jetbikes from the Heavy Gear Range from Dream Pod 9 in 1/144 scale. Pre Cut and Swap Nob  Post Cut and Swap Nob, with Power Klaw from the Games Workshop Ork Boyz set.  Should have done this two weeks ago, here's hoping I can do 26 miniatures before the end of the month. I haven't forgotten about improved pics for my post for last month, but the pics I took today were also terrible. Will try again tomorrow.

gently caress, I need to get back on the painting horse (there's a painting horse, who knew, I should sell it to a circus or something).So, I, thespaceinvader, oath 2 Orc Archers from Wizards of the Coast's Wrath of Ashardalon set for July. AP:  No Jurnal as yet, but I might put something together later in the month. E: Actually, I'll swing for the May journal points, so Suiting Up. I'll aim to post a WIP after priming, after base coating, and after painting before basing. Might pop for some of the one-off points as well, we'll see. thespaceinvader fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Jul 20, 2013 |

I finished up the Cut and Swap for July.  These are just the Dark Vengeance Dark Angels terminators with some bitz swapped around. The one on the left had it's helmet cut out and replaced with one of the cloaked heads from the DA sprue, as well as adding the banner and some greenstuff. The one on the right, had the power sword arm lobbed off and replaced with a power fist; the arm holding the storm bolter was originally a thunder hammer arm that I had to cannibalize, as I'd run out of proper gun arms. Whoops. I actually got these done a while ago, but my airbrush died and so I couldn't really get any painting done. Kind of kills the drive to do anything! My new one came in today though, so it's all good

Oath Complete!  I'd also like to claim Fly Your Flag as well as Speed Painting!   The cross I (badly) painted on the banner seems to be a variant on the maltese cross used by the crusaders and templars, and since my space marine here has repainted Black Templar iconography I thought it fitting to give him a variant of the maltese cross to tote around FoulWeatherFriend fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Jul 20, 2013 |

OATH COMPLETE! Jurnal Speed Painting Backstory   Speed Painting----->   Backstory-----> His name is Tcho'Tek, and he remembers. As soon as he awoke he knew there was something different, something wrong. The others all moved too uniformly, they would not reply to him, or even look at him when he spoke. At first he tried to blend in, follow the others mimicing their lock-step and not let his darting eyes be seen. Eventually though he was noticed, he started to turn to run but stopped. For someone to notice he was different, they also had to be differnt, maybe he was not to spend eternity locked in a metal coffin, surrounded by manaquins that sometimes moved from room to room. And so he met the general, who also remembered. Now he is a leader, charged with finding others like himself. Free-thinkers who can use instinct as well as the logic forced into their minds from the ones above. His men, he still calls them men, are a forward boarding force. They go where the others might not think to go, find the hiding holes and the traps laid before the army. For if you cannot understand fear, how are you to know what one who does would do, where they would go, and how willing they might be to fight back.

Looks like Im going to have an oath failure. IM so hosed off right now. Project was fnished other than matt varnishing and painting the cockpits. Went to a wargames show this morning, bought a can of Army Painter Matt spray (never used it before) and this happened.  The large gate on the right and the one next to it are covered in the frosting of doom and the paint on the large gate has started to smudge in one area. I am on holiday next week and its majorly unlikely Im now going to finish my oath becuase of this. So hosed off.

Kommando posted:I claim Box Art one time bonus. This is a bit questionable, maybe?. While I agree that you have captured the color scheme of the two units, neither of the links you provided have pictures of the actual miniatures you painted, so I can't compare to confirm that you painted things the "right colors". I've included the links and assigned you the point for box art, but I'd like krushgroove to confirm that this counts. Thundercloud posted:Pre Cut and Swap Nob 2. I can't tell how you've cut/swapped this mini, from your photos. It appears that it comes without a head or arm, and you've glued on a standard head & arm. Can you provide supporting photos, perhaps from a different angle, or something, or describe what you did? Also it'd help if your photos were in focus Mr.Booger posted:

The camospecs guys can't paint every unit in every colour scheme, they're volunteers not heavy metal employee. So there is no such thing as box art for Battletech. You just follow an official canonised scheme from camospecs. Unlike last month where I made my own scheme. It's the closest I've got unless you want me to copy a camospecs mini exactly.

Never oathed before so not 100% clear on how it works, but just reading from OP - if I oath an Infinity miniature, does that make me eligible to get an Infinity miniature, to be put into a contest to get an Infinity miniature, or is that a time-specific contest that I need to be on the lookout for? I don't have any Infinity yet but I'm getting back into hobby stuff and thought the model aesthetic was really cool, even if I don't ahve anyone to play with I thought I'd try out putting one together.

You just follow an official canonised scheme from camospecs. Unlike last month where I made my own scheme. Yeah, I get it: most battletech minis seem to come in packaging lacking a painted version of it, and it's normal to paint up your guys according to some official scheme. I just want to confirm that this is within the bounds of what is imagined by this bonus (I didn't write it). Mr.Booger posted:Oops, added name and Pm'ed you Got it. You're all set!

Every month, I will randomly pick one goon who finished an oath to paint an Infinity miniature that month, to receive a free Infinity miniature. Every three months, I will also pick one goon who finished an oath to paint an Infinity miniature during those three months, to receive a free Infinity box of miniatures. At the end of the yearlong contest, I will also pick one goon who finished an oath to paint an Infinity miniature any time that year, to receive a free Infinity terrain set. All this happens automatically. All you have to do is oath an Infinity miniature and then complete your oath.

I should probably oath this month! I, Schmetterling, hereby Oath for the month of July this Britanan Standard Bearer from Tor Gaming and this Ogre Hero from Mantic Games!  And a closer look at the pieces - that spare axe head will soon be used to replace the one currently used by the Ogre Hero.  It was my birthday last week, so I didn't get around to planning my oath. Now I have a week to get these guys done, whilst I try to organise (potentially) moving house!

It took some searching, but their website says that the game Relics is 28mm scale. The little guy is a puppet, and therefore a bit smaller than a human or spessmuhreen. They will eventually release the 'Puppetmaster' who will be full sized, towering over his army of tiny cloth musketmen.

I, Namenlos, Oath this converted Penitent Engine For the chop and swap, I have chopped off half of the legs and used venerable dreadnought legs in place, and for the left arm I have chopped off half the arm and used this ... flail thing? From the Chaos Space Marine Defiler. Also with the flamer from the venerable dreadnought box. I'm also submitting this to the conversion mini competition; and because it's the third month in a row, does it qualify for Good Start! as well? Have I missed anything out for oathing all this correctly?
