Planning ahead for next month. Does speed painting have to be your entire oath in 24 hours? Can you accomplish the speed paint, and then do an oath addition for doing over the course of the month?

I didn't paint for about 10 days between finishing my oath and today. I wasn't sure I'd have time to oath something new and paint it, so I just didn't start anything. This is seriously what it must feel like to quit smoking, it's absolutely maddening.

Declare your oath as you would normally, take a timestamp picture of the models you're speed painting before you start and then another when you're finished. Carry on with the rest of your oath in your own time  That's right isn't it judges? Come on next month, hurry up and get here, I got me some stuff to paint!

October is going to be Amnesty Month! ...just like it has been in the past because of Sole.sushi's birthday - it's my birthday month, too, so we're doing the same thing again! This means you can oath part-painted models that you didn't complete previously, or whatever, and you get points as if you'd oathed single-color models.

Some better pics of this month's minis:    I've still not quite nailed down my camera settings, though this is a LOT better than it used to be. Really shows the flaws too D:     I'm pretty chuffed with the tiefling, though, particularly for a 6-hour speedpaint run. Only one major error really sticks out to me, though there is some rough stuff in there. Need to find the right manual white balance settings for the camera, and look at fiddling with exposure lengths too.

 OATH IS COMPLETEHere's a counts-as Draigo for my Grey Knights. He's finecast, which prompted the conversion since the casting job on his sword arm was horribly hosed up (didn't see it in the blister despite an inspection). Several other small flaws made me decide to just ding him up a bit and make a few dents in his armor. I had the halberd part spare from some deathwing knights I'm making up, so I thought it would make a nice different look for him since he has a special sword in the rules anyway. I'm sure some of you will recognize the helmet part. Hopefully the smoldering skeleton on the base works, that was a bit of an experiment. The steel wool smoke can go away if I decide I don't like it.   Here are the 40k objectives I added, on square bases to pick them out and because I have tons sitting around. Clockwise from top left: mysterious bloody lump on pedestal, mysterious glyph & ork skull, mysterious relic thingy (seriously I don't even know where it came from), jenga pile of choppas, mysterious book & dagger, and a very un-mysterious imperial crate of blandness. The front three represent the jurnal element, having some little freehand bits on them. I went to extra lengths to weather these up so I'm claiming double the fun! because of the theme last month! Also, since they are objective markers, I'm claiming up I Rolled A 6!...Or A 20...Or Maybe An 01. If that's all legit, of course.

(also, anyone who's followed the Oath Thread for the past year or two will already know what the October Detektuv's Jurnal will be, but don't get started yet! you still have to timestamp your stuff!) I know someone asked a while back about painting a table, I don't think we have a category it could easily fit into...does anyone know who that was so I can see what was said in response?

September Oath Complete! "I's been ridin 'dis bike for DAYS, me leg's is cramped, so zog off!"  "Dem Humies got some flash trousers, good job they 'ad me size!"  "One previous owner, not in very good condition, hur hurr!" So I'm claiming the Detektive's Jurnal for the heming and seams on his jeans, and also for the wild beast hide on the bike saddle. Does this satisfy you level of work for this category?

OATH COMPLETE I probably overextended myself this month because of a nasty test and assignment schedule this month, so I had to take some shortcuts and just didn't have the time these models deserved. Either way, I'm going to consider it a positive experience because I learned a few things, like 1) I still need to work on how I do power armor, flat spaces are hard. 2) Using orange and brown ink to start "bony" parts actually makes them pop pretty well from farther away if I can make the lines neat. 3) I accidentally wet blended an eye, yay! 4) Streaky white for old armor is probably not the best approach, but the orange with silver lines to a show rusty, used look works pretty well. Orange in general was more useful than I expected for the whole project. 5) First time using corkboard for fake base rocks. More meticulous than I expected but it's good practice.   DETECTIVE'S JOURNAL, the octopus eye and blood vessels on  I don't actually have any models to oath for next month because all the other troops have some red on their weapons from an aborted attempt to assembly-line paint them. I might try to split a Dark Vengeance box so I can get some cultists and that nice Helbrute model (I know he sucks in game but that's not the point).

There's been too many excellent models posted on this page, so it's time to lower the bar! Oath Complete  I painted a standard bearer too, so I think that qualifies me to Fly Your Flag For my detective's journal I've got the less-lovely scrollwork that I freehanded on the leader  Now to just figure out what to paint for October. It won't be a unit. Also here's a shot of the whole family

Oh man, Why I gotta follow all this other amazing poo poo this month. Makes me so self conscious. Here goes! OATH COMPLETE Claiming Jurnal and entering Themed Group    Wanted to do a spider on the back of the Exarch and make kind of a crazy eldar advance technology thing.  Took one more here to show off my hubris. Thanks for all the nice comments on my Wave Serpent last month, decided to try the same thing with the black/gray and the lightning of the khaki/bone instead of white. Hope some of the harder contrasts came through like the Wave Serpent.  Special thanks to Booley, who inspired me to get a drat camera and some lamps and a tripod to do this month.
