Regarding winning sweet terrain, hot dog! I'll PM you after I've had a good think, krushgroove! Thanks!
Cool! I look forward to the challenge - I actually have some terrain I want to make a video of this week, so if you're quick I may be able to get yours done (or at least started) next week. I'm happy to go bigger but it has to be something I can put in a box to mail you of course. If you wanna hill, a cliff, a swamp/bog, crater, whatever, go a bit wild if you want. Buildings are fine too, up to a point :)


If anyone else has already contacted me and I haven't replied, my apologies, I'll be replying soon!

Icon Of Sin - I'm still actually waiting for your address to send your Games & Gears brushes to, and to be honest so are the other 3 prizewinners, since we send all the winner's info off at the same time each month. So PLEASE get in touch! I'm pretty sure you don't have PMs.

I JesusIsTehCool oath for the month of August this Games Workshop Drop Pod



If it doesn't look 100% the same color I apologize. This is a used model and it was painted a bright red, which was pretty hard to cover up. My air brush started acting up to, so I wasn't able to give it the full treatment I wanted to. Hopefully this is acceptable.

I am aiming for something kind of like this:

but maybe with the other recessed parts white to, but suggestions on how I should go about this is welcomed, maybe I will post in the painting and modeling thread for advice too.

If there is time I will do my other drop pod this month to, but hopefully I will be moving so I won't have time.

Also, in the interests of full disclosure: nathonicus never received his corvus belli prize that I mailed last month. I used the cheapest possible shipping option, which didn't include tracking, and USPS has swallowed the figures whole. We have worked out a solution and he is getting a replacement prize. This month I will ship using some means that includes tracking, although obviously that will cost more. nathonicus has been super-cool about the whole thing and was all 'naw you don't gotta send me a replacement' but we have kind of insisted. So yeah that happened.

Well, nathonicus' mini finally showed up! Apparently due to a zip code error, it went to Alaska first. Elfin Cove, AK, specifically, a tiny settlement of 32 souls. No wonder it took a month!

I think I'm still gonna lean towards using tracking, though.

Also: krushgroove and I have decided that Space Hulk minis count as 40k for the purposes of the 40k drawing. This is based on the fact that lots of people buy them off eBay to add to their 40k armies, and we don't want to try to interrogate people just to find out how they're using their figures or something dumb like that.

It is this exact same mini from June http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3547161&userid=131812#post416712169

The mini went MIA on bhsman and only returned after a month of travel in the bottom of his backpack. He came back chipped and broken off at the ankles so bhsman stripped it, rehabilitated him and is trying to get him back in the game (you can't keep a good kazak down).

To boldly be eaten where no grot has been eaten before!
[b] I, Thundercloud, having hosed up my Oath last month by oathing too much stuff and giving myself too little time to do it, have decided to double down and Oath twice as much this month.
For the month of August I Oath 1 Chaos Aspiring Champion from Games Workshops WH40k line, 1 Aegis Defence Line from Games Workshops WH40k line, 1 converted Mk III boarding captain from Forgeworlds WH30k line (Cut and Swap), 39 Grel infantry from Dream Pod 9s Heavy Gear range in 1/144 scale, 3 Man-at-Arms Golems, 2 Constable Golems and 1 Marshall Golem from Dream Pod 9s Heavy Gear range in 1/144 scale for a total of a lot of stuff. Ignominy awaits![b]



Unconverted Forgeworld boarding captain. I have removed the hand from the combi weapon, put the combi weapon on the shield hand and added a brass etch Deathguard symbol to one of the shoulder pads, and as it is a GW model, used liquid greenstuff to fill some bubbles and mould slip.

I'll need an "after" photo for your conversion; you can just take a closeup of the model now, or wait till you're done painting and take a closeup then. Your "before" photo is fine. This is for qualification for the quarterly Manifest's Best Conversion contest.

Otherwise I'll leave it to sole.sushi to approve your oath as usual.
