Ugh. I've got everything painted, and have had for a week and a half, but I'm aiming for that In Battle bonus with an actual game of 40k tomorrow afternoon. Cutting it super close here.

I think that you don't need to do that bonus in the same month as the model is actually painted. The only requirement is that it is a model oathed in this season, so you should be able to include the In Battle pics in a later month

 OATH FAILEDThere's a lot of excuses for this. I could say I just moved and had to pack up all my minis, or that I hate (absolutely hate!) the idea of chopping up my miniatures even to complete the oath, or whatever. Fact is, I was kind of lazy. I could've just bought a new mini to chop up, but I didn't want to. I do seriously hate cutting into my dudes for stuff like that, and I didn't want to be bothered by it, so I just sat here procrastinating until I could tell myself, "Well, now that stuff's all packed! Not your fault." But that's just bitchspeak for 'I am lazy.'m So I failed. While TOXXed. Sorry guys. (like, I know this means nothing to anyone, but I am kind of disappointed by my laziness, bleh)

Well, guess I'll just put that bonus off to next month or something, since it's up in the air whether I'll get a game in tomorrow or not.

The heatwave died down a bit, so gently caress failing the oath! I think I'll manage to paint them to the basic level so at least I don't fail entirely.

Yeah but you could do a different month's journal if you don't want to chop anything up. It shouldn't even enter the thought process.

OATH COMPLETELord Hypnostache posted:Cutting and swapping has been done. And here's a finished Cut'n'swap Commissar for this months journal  I'm claiming Fly your flag for the banner  Also these are the first vehicles I've painted in 15 or so years, and probably 3rd and 4th vehicle I've painted ever. They're not special, but I feel proud of them.  And these veterans are getting a bit of Background.

Oath Complete! A full 1500pts of Terminators!  Sword Squad. Belial's personal pimp squad.  Typical terminator. The emblem is from the Angels of Absolution.  Heavy weapons. The gun arms are magnetized.  All power weapons and thunder hammers received this treatment.  Green Squad. I color-coded most of the squads by coloring the power fist, kneecap, or shield a matching color.  Deathwing Champion, with the Halberd of Caliban.  Hazard Squad.  Hazard stripes are always  Deathwing Command Squad  The missile launcher is from the Reaper CAV Outlaw model. 77 cents a piece, can't beat that price!  Banner of Fortitude.  Belial, Master of the Deathwing. I aimed for the Detektuv's Jurnal (Cut and Swap) and Fly your Flag bonuses, as well as the Themed Group drawing. The cut and swap entry is quoted below, for completion's sake. I really had a blast doing these, even with the setback mid-way through the month where my airbrush died. Getting to paint my own models for once is a breath of fresh air, and I hope to tackle some of the power armor side of the army next month. Slimnoid posted:I finished up the Cut and Swap for July.

Just so we're clear guys? Do we have until Midnight tomorrow night (UK time) or is it like last month where it was actually an hour after midnight on the last day? (Ie, 1am on the 1st). Just so I know how much time I don't have. Because I still have SO MUCH to paint. And it's my stupid birthday tomorrow. So I have to go out for a meal and celebrate and junk

Okay, lets do this! OATH COMPLETE Original:    Claiming the Journal on Maugan Ra as it is a kickin' rad repose. I don't work with GS much as most of the poo poo I paint people just pay me for their 40k armies so this was fun. I swapped his head positioning, arm positioning for the gun (to make it more flat) and cut and rotated his leg at the hip and knee to give him a more dynamic pose up on the rock. Also claming the Box Art on the Infinity guy. Can I get Double Your Pleasure or the Based Out one for this too? So I painted him for myself for a change, spent a really really long time on him but don't have anything other than a phone to take pictures so I don't feel like the subtlety of it got showed off so well. He's got a ton of weird NMM work on him, which I've never done before. So I painted outside of my comfort zone this month on him, and I'm really proud of the results. Thanks Painting Oath Thread!

Ugh... I finished my bases last night and poured in the water effects so I could concentrate on finishing the last details on my models. But the seal I wrapped around my bases to keep in the envirotex wasn't tight enough. Going to have to spend most of the night cutting out bits and retouching all the corks I've damaged. This should be a tight one, but I think I can make it!

Oath Complete Detektuv's Jurnal I chopped off a couple of arms from some metal GW scouts and made one who had a nicer gun and also shades to fit the stupid backstory I wanted to write. Before and after:    Backstory: Brother Prospero was lost. Again. He didn't get why the rest of the guys called him 'Lucky.' This wasn't luck, that was for sure. Trudging through some kind of jungle, miles, maybe days away from a decent meal, with a malfunctioning gun and a terrible sense of direction. Not that a sense of direction mattered much when the shades he'd been given for his birthday that morning were impossible to see through. Rustle. Snort. Great. Now his paranoia was kicking in. "What luck," he muttered under his breath as he tried to determine whether the rustling sounds he was hearing were in his head because they'd been brought there through his ears, or if his brain was finally turning against him for good. As he turned to try and get a better idea of where the sound was coming from, his bolt pistol fired yet again. He heard something drop to the ground - another tree to fall over, no doubt. Keeping the business end of his weapon pointed as far away from him as possible, he gingerly stepped forward, waiting for the pain in his shins that would confirm he'd taken down yet another tree. Squelch. For the love of the Emperor, this was too much. Lost, murdering tree after tree with a pistol he couldn't holster for fear of taking a leg off, virtually blind, and now he'd trodden in some foul-smelling muck. He readied his blade for poo poo-scraping duty. "What a birthday, he thought. "Lucky indeed..." APCs/Kodiak Command Vehicle  Dropships  Anti-air and main battle tanks  Legionnaires  Themed group - UCM Starter box + command unit  Oh, I almost forgot - the UCM guys are my entry for Box Art - see http://www.hawkwargames.com/products/bear-apcs for example.

Oath Complete!    Detektuv's Jurnal (July) Besides cutting and re-positioning his arm away from his body, I cut off the club from the troll's hand, attached a bucket to it, and sculpted a handle onto the bucket. Big trolls need big drinks! Strike a Pose Meet Brunk.  Brunk routinely makes poor life decisions. Here we observe Brunk in his natural habitat.  Brunk should be returning home to share his turnip-stand earnings with his wife. Brunk has chosen not to do this.  Brunk has chosen instead to relive his schooltroll days.  Brunk figures Brunk will probably regret this in the morning, but Brunk's inebriation has saved him that trouble for now.  Brunk has discovered that high-class harlots cost far more than a turnip dealer makes in a week. And this is why Brunk is now visiting his local high-risk loan-dragon. Why do you make so many poor decisions, Brunk? Edit: This is a themed group. Iris of Ether fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Jul 31, 2013 |

 OAF COMPLEATAlmost bit off more than I could chew this month, poo poo's getting busy around here, though I did find time to finish these 'ard boyz. They're sort of a speed test run for the 100+ other kinds of boyz I have in a bin in my closet. The lesson learned is that these guys took waaaay too long for the result, I'll probably simplify it for the regular fellas. These guys have numerous conversions and some tasty Kromlech bodies and legs to help them justify that extra armor save. I'm going really grimy and grimdark on these, I want the feel of the army to be more brutal and sinister and less goofy than the usual ork thing. I wanted a really dark, muted palette with spots of high contrast and I think this works pretty well. The most heartbreaking part is painting these really nice vibrant yellows and then weathering the poo poo out of them. Gotta get this photography thing figured out. It always just gets to the end of the month and I'm all "ffffff" and take some quick, crap shots. Anyways, here's the first half of the squad with the powerklaw nob in front:  The second half:  Here's a closeup on the Detektuv's Jurnal element, a cut n' swapped chainsaw arm.  I also claim these to be conversions and a themed group. I have me down for AP + completed + username + base + detektuv = 10 points.

Oath Complete! First, this month's log entry. Like many others I wasn't enthusiastic about cutting up a model for the sake of it, but then I stumbled across this unfortunate fellow from my Bones shipment:  Wrath of Ashardalon. There were so many minis in this board game!         Some Privateer Press minis:  Croe's Cutthroats are a Themed Group      And some Reaper Bones!

Brock Samsonite posted:Very nice stuff. I painted a split color army like that once in the folly of my youth, it got old quick. Looking good though! Many thanks! Black and white are two difficult colours to work with for opposite reasons (highlight/shading) so I knew I'd either have to improve my skills or go [more] mad in the process. Still got a ways to go, but it would help if I stopped leaving everything till the last minute. When I was trying to decide which faction to paint my marines as, I ended up reading about Malal and his 'creatures of the warp killing other warp monsters' and it meshed well with how Grey Knights are in the fluff, so that's really their theme. I was watching Psychedelic Eyeball's System Shock 2 LP at the point he first encounters the monkeys on board at the same time I was priming my own monkeys so I thought it appropriate to name them that. If I could somehow get my hands on that guy from the center of the tesseract vault, I'd convert it into a Shodan dreadknight in a heart beat though.

End of the month, lots of great stuff coming in! I love it  After slacking off on Monday, I did cleanup and a full session of painting last night, the last thing I did before leaving the loft/workshop was to spray a few coats of Pledge all over the model. Tonight it's just a final shot of Dullcote and then take the final picture! I can't believe I did the whole thing in one night, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, too.
