JesusIsTehCool posted:Alright thanks. I can see where you're coming from, but if you read through sole.sushi's post history in this thread you'll see where he's asked people to retake a photo because something is really blurred or even warned others about different colors of primer, things like that. When he asks for a clearer picture he usually make a point to say something like "it's okay if you've painted it a bit, I just need to see a better photo" or something like that. Leperflesh has taken on a lot of the role of asking people questions about their oaths, too, which has helped to make the approval step pretty streamlined these days. While it may seem like we might not really need the approval posts, they are important for the whole process to run smoothly.

Leperflesh posted:Cool man, but hey, did you do the theme this month? I can see some color on the kneepads, but maybe that's just highlighting... Also, if you put your name in your photo that's worth a point. I'm not in it for the points this year.  If it's convenient for you if I have my name in the completed photos, I'll make it a point of inclusion each time.

It's more that it's convenient for me actually  I have to label the pictures that don't have names, and even if someone says 'I don't care about points' I still need to put the name in the picture just in case the judges like what you've done. I'm not in the prize draws or anything but if my pictures do get the attention of the judges it will be very easy for them to ignore my pictures. It's up to you really, if you're just in it for the motivation that's fantastic, but I'll add your name if it's missing.

Like I said I don't want to come off as a jerk but if the approval doesn't mean anything why even hassle all this stuff? Not the first time this question has been asked in this thread, nor is it the first time that I'm answering it, but I can't blame you for not wanting to dig through the pages for a specific thing; basically, all that the "accepted" posts means is that I have recognized that you took a photo for some bonus points for the month and have followed all the guidelines set forth; if you don't want to do an AP photo, you don't have to. If you want to oath something that is already half way done, go for it. But, if you follow the guidelines and get bonus points, then even better! Doing or not doing an AP photo does not exclude you from participating. If I find something wrong with it, I'll ask you about what's going on (like the blur, for example); This doesn't mean to stop working. In the history of doing this for the Oath Thread, I haven't asked a single person to strip down a model and start over, nor will I ever do so. The guidelines are fast, and I'm not going to get soft on those, but I'm not going to be a jerk. Painting takes a lot of effort, and I recognize that. Worst case scenario is that I ask you to retake your AP photo, but whatever progress you made is fine. Having said that, all requirements for a successful AP photo must be initially observed when putting it up. Whatever happens beyond that point (if I ask for a clearer photo or just a reshoot for one of a dozen reasons), is pretty much at my discretion; and I'm not ever going to ask you to start over. TL;DR: this post isn't aimed directly at you, but everyone--AP Photos are for Bonus Points if you follow the guidelines in the OP: After you put your photo up, do not cease working while you wait for my approval.

Oath Completed! Who would have thought painting Warhammer Fantasy would be so much more suitable for oathing minis each month?  Detektuv's jurnal The verdigris on the bronze shields:  The rust on the iron parts. There are more, I just picked out the most visible because I'm using a crappy cell phone camera.  So that's Detektuv's jurnal and Themed group I believe. Dunno if I missed some. Edit: Forgot to at least use the macro function on my crappy cell phone cam. Switched out the main photo.

The Dark Potential starter pack from Miniwargaming that I was lucky enough to win arrived yesterday (just 4 days from Canada to Denmark, wow) and the minis looks awesome. Great sculpts, much closer to Infinity than GW in terms of realistic proportions and style. Love them, thank you very much oath thread and sponsors!

There's still time to oath one more for the month, if you're up to it and if you have the model and if it makes sense for you to have five of these models! Or you could oath five other things I guess?

I am glad to say Oaff Complete! In addition to the Weathering in the form of corrosion on the plates and flaking paint, I am also going to claim Backstory with this little thing here: Close to the northern edge of Cygnar territory stood a crumbling barn; most of the roof had fallen in, and the walls were starting to fail now as well. Enough was left to provide Asheth Magnus with shelter for the past week, while he worked. His headlong flight from the heart of Cygnar had been exhausting, and his last clash with the usurpers dogs had nearly ruined his remaining warjack, an aged Arcane he had stolen during his escape. Magnus had only hoped to find shelter in the barn, but had been amazed to discover a small cache of mechanical parts, apparently stored by whatever farmer had once worked this land and then either forgotten or abandoned. To many the pile of agricultural machinery would have been useless, but to a man of Magnus' skill, it was a lifeline. For the last week he had worked feverishly, stripping the mangled pieces from the Arcane and carefully constructing something entirely new. Hardly anyone would recognize the chassis of the old jack under all his work, and even the painstakingly rebuilt Cortex felt different to his mental touch. As dawn began to filter into through the gaps in the roof, Magnus sealed the top hatch and stepped down from his perch on the 'jack's knee. At his command, the 'jack moved slowly, testing it's new limbs. It had lost both it's old arms, one replaced by an enormous woodsaw and the other with stout buckler with a charge embedded in the front- Magnus had found some blasting powder in the supplies and been inspired. Though lean and haggard, his own armor rent and dirtied, Magnus grinned at his creation. "Good morning, old friend. Feeling better." The 'jack seemed puzzled by its new lack of hands, but certainly appreciated the maintenance. Abruptly, a shout from outside broke the morning stillness. "Asheth Magnus! We know you're in there, and we have the building surrounded. Come out and surrender, renegade!" Magnus stifled a curse, and shuffled to the wall, peering through cracks in the wood. He could see a group of armed men assembling, leveling weapons at the barn. Magnus turned to look back to his new creation. "Well, they're asking for a renegade. Let's show them what one can do." At his word the 'jack sprang to life, stepping forward and sweeping its saw to tear a great rent in the wall. Amid the startled cries of the Cygnar troops outside, it shouldered through the gap and leveled it's buckler - a dull 'whump' of the weapon firing was followed swiftly by an enormous blast that sent men and wood tumbling in every direction. Overwhelmed by the fury of the assault, they fell back from the barn in panic. Magnus stepped into the breach left by his 'jack, and inhaled the morning air. It was going to be a good day.
