Loxbourne posted:Whales Saved! I am very sorry, but this is not a valid whales saved. When you want to Save da Whales, you must post a photo of your models complete with timestamp in their current condition and Oath them, like making a regular Oath. Then you finish your models and do an Oath Complete post as normal, but indicate that the models are Saved. Please see "How to Save Your Failed Oath (Save Da Whales)" in the second post of the thread for detailed instructions. My intention is not to make you jump through unnecessary hoops: but, I need to see and approve Whales posts before you do the painting, not after the fact. Buffalo squeeze posted:Yes, they're from Necromunda. Does it matter, did I miss something in the rules? This month there is a special drawing for people who complete oaths of Warhammer 40k models: you can win a space ork I believe. So I am tracking everyone who oaths 40k, and I wasn't sure if yours are 40k or not. We decided Space Hulk minis count as 40k because you can use them for 40k, but I'm not sure if Necromunda models could be used in 40k (like, is there a ganger unit in imperial guard armies or something?)

Leperflesh posted:Re-oath? As far as I can tell, you completed a line kazak in June; your failed July oath was a veteran kazak. If I got that wrong, and this is a failed oath from this year's thread, you can (also) use this as a Savin' da Whales entry. To echo what was said earlier, the original oath was completed but was lost in my backpack for a few weeks and was severely damaged as a result; because this is just a re-do of a completed oath, it technically shouldn't qualify for Savin' da Whales.  I think.

OK, you've got it right. They don't qualify for Whales because you actually succeeded in your original oath with them. Buffalo squeeze posted:Oh, I missed that.

I, Illudere, oath an Orc Raider starter fleet consisting of 1 battleship, 3 cruisers, and 6 frigates. These miniatures are Spartan Games Uncharted Seas in 1/600th scale. I also oath 2 war elephants with howdahs from Eureka Miniatures in 10mm scale.  I meant to do the ships last month but slacked off.

Necromunda could handily be used as IG Penal Legion. I use Necromunda Redemptionists as Chaos Cultists and am planning on using Enforcers as Storm Troopers. So yes, Necromunda can be used in 40k.

After a couple of months break, I, LazyAngel, oath for the month of August, the Masters of The Path box from Malifaux by Wyrd Miniatures. This consists of three Ashigaru, Chiaki, Yan Lo and a Soul Porter.  Better do a decent job after the pain of putting those drat skeletons together. Who thought a 2-part spear was a good idea to sculpt?

Red Shoe posted:It looks like I'm missing more than one of my oaths last month. I didn't see these any of these entries: Sorry about that - I blame Google Photos not handling picture uploads ideally, but mostly lovely upload speeds! I've added these now - they were in the initial folder of pictures I created from all the submissions, but didn't get uploaded properly. enri posted:As well as Red Shoe, the base I oathed for the 'get based out' entry isn't in the slideshow, but I'm not sure if this is illegible for voting or not given that it's my get based out entry too? The base, as well as all the Get Based Out entries that get submitted, is going into a separate mini-competition for judging at the end of the year. Did you mean to enter it into judging for July as well? That's not what was intended, I've read through the rules for GBO and I can see how that can be construed from the wording, but the intent is that you complete the base as an oath, meaning it's started and finished within one month. Sorry if that's the source of confusion or whatever. You had other models you completed, so those are in the judging for July. If I understood you right and you thought the base is part of the judging for July, let me know and I'll edit the GBO rules slightly.  Everyone else who submitted Oath Complete photos Please have a look here https://plus.google.com/photos/101792256154658567736/albums/5910611039869383297?authkey=CLDM1ZCr9LTrjQE and find your photos - if they are not there please post in the thread, PM me or email me to yell at me. I'll be sending this link to the judges in the next day or so, so please have a look quickly!

Ah I'm easy  wasn't sure if I could oath a base purely for 'get based out' but also have it be an oath to be judged on for the month, if not, that's cool either way, like you say I have other models for judging anyway!If I can have it in for July voting and still get it in 'get based out' then that's cool, but otherwise I'll go with whatever you say, you're the boss and all that  (did you see my post re: the brushes arriving? thanks again )

OK, sweet - I'll still edit the wording for that, I don't want it to cause more confusion down the road. It is meant to be judged only at the end of the season, not for the month and again at the end. enri posted:(did you see my post re: the brushes arriving? thanks again Yes I did, that's great I'd love to get pictures of people enjoying their various prizes to send off to the sponsors (especially since this forum and all the links I could send them are behind a paywall, which makes it hard to get sponsors!), but that's just a 'nice to have'. If anyone does want to send me pics (not necessarily to the thread, but to me so I can forward them to the sponsors) that would be great: krushgroove169 at gmailAlso, that reminds me: attention Dragonforge prize winners! The owner contacted me a couple of days ago and said that he's sent out all the prize winners from this iteration of the Oath Thread, so look forward to getting your prizes soon. He also told me that there are prizes from the LAST Oath Thread that have yet to be sent out, so if you're still waiting on yours, please be patient. If you haven't gotten anything in the next couple of months (I know that's a long time to wait) let me know and me and TWLM will try to figure out who's still owed stuff and get it sorted out.

I didn't see it in there, but again this was one that I'd copied to my computer to upload, but it didn't get uploaded for whatever reason. Plus, there are a few repeats of Red Shoe's and Slimnoid's stuff that I can't delete and I'll have to ask the judges to ignore. Blah! I may have to try Flickr for albums, I've been meaning to anyway. Anyway, yours is now in there, I swear.

The in-jokey category names make it quite hard to get up to speed on just how this thread works. I know my goodwill is not needed to run the thread, but please take note of the kind of trouble new arrivals get into. OK, I definitely wasn't clear enough and I appreciate your frustration. This is working the same as it did last year, so probably some folks just already know what to do, and I know the OPs are long and there's a lot of stuff there. The crux of the Savin' da Whales contest is to reward folks for completing oaths they started, but failed, during this year's thread. In order to save me from having to do a research project every time someone does that, we ask you to make a formal post that calls out what you intend to do (rescue a failed oath), and links to that failed oath (so it's easy to confirm that these are indeed models you started this year). We even have a judge whose job it is to confirm these oath posts. So: It's not too late to get credit for those miniatures as Saved Whales. The thing is, you can save failed oath miniatures in any state, even completed. So what I need you to do is post an Oath to Save da Whales with your minis, take photos of them, and link to the original oath that was failed. Then (in the same post if you like), declare the oath Complete. Sole.Sushi will confirm your post, I'll put the links in the spreadsheet, and you'll get full credit. I realize I'm asking you to jump through hoops to get credit for a drawing for a prize, and that may be tedious. But I'm trying to be fair to everyone else who also jumps through the same hoops by not just suspending the process for random people. I hope you can understand why I'd take a harder line on that.

So I am wondering if you can cancel an oath before its been approved? I submitted my oath about a week and a half ago, it had a blur in the picture it so it wasn't approved. I took another photo and have been waiting for it to be approved and make sure everything is cool before I start working on it. It is getting to the point where I am not sure if I will have enough time to get it done because I am moving in a few days. Unless I get the thumbs up to start working on it soon I am not sure I will be able to fulfill my Oath.

So I am trying out the "salt" weathering thing for the first time and it looks pretty decent, until overnight when the remaining salty residue frosted over and looks all white and splotchy (which would look like authentic rusting is not for the fact the model is tiny and the splotches massive). Any tips to reduce this for anyone who has tried this before. Also realize now my rust color and my tank color are way to similar, so will need to figure a way of making it pop more anyway.
