Mr. Helsbecter will you please stop shooting I am on the phone

Oath Complete!


The Jurnal for this month is his :h: Mom tattoo. I'm really proud of this dumb bastard, I think he's probably the best model I've ever painted.







For this month, he's going to Strike a Pose!



Brynjolf the Giant fluffed his tiger as he drifted through the foggy haze of his hangover. Up above, the sun peeked out from behind a cloud and lit up his face, causing his head to pound even worse than when actual goblins pounded on it. He pulled up his enormous black blanket over his head and breathed heavily beneath it as the orange wolf squirmed out to bask in the sunlight. There, curled up in a ball, the giant came as close as it ever did to introspection.

Today, he thought about the tiger. Brynjolf was excited about the tiger because it seemed as though it could become a good friend. Long-lasting friendships involving giants are, of course, uncommon, but it didn't stop the giant from daydreaming about it. So far, the good temper of the orange wolf, along with its durability when thrown or fluffed had seen it through in one piece. Brynjolf wasn't sure how long it had been since he met his tiger; that part escaped him. He thought long and hard about about it, but paused when he realized nothing was bothering or interrupting him. With a groan, Brynjolf sat up and looked around. It was quiet, and while the constant, obnoxious ruckus in the Orc camp was something he didn't notice anymore, the calm silence had caught his attention.

Everyone was gone.

Angrily, but carefully (from experience!) Brynjolf got up to his feet, and looked around. The wolf rolled over on its back to him. Brynjolf wasn't in the mood to pet his tiger, though - those gits had left him behind again. Grabbing his blanket and club, the giant stalked off after the greenskins to give them a good beating.


Also gonna Double My Fun and do some In Battle!

Gotta fight these gits just about every day.


These ones are fun. Throw 'em as far as you want, they never break!


Not sure what these ones even wanted, but I won anyway.


These ones are best! Bring the horse right to ya.


This time was bad, got lost...

Oath Complete

This month I tried wet blending for the first time ever, using one of the double-ended Games and Gears brushes I got in their kickstarter a while ago. I learnt that wet blending is hard, but can give good results, and that I should probably have looked up a tutorial before trying it. :(

I also learnt that the slightly translucent Bones material can hide mold lines entirely until you've painted over them. :argh: I didn't notice until I'd already begun shading and highlighting, and by then I didn't know how to fix them without starting entirely from scratch.





The Detektuv's Jurnal is the freehanded pattern on the skirt. It's a bit abstract, but it reminds me of peacock feathers. I tried to use a limited colour palette for the whole model, and I think it worked out alright. :yaycloud:

I was pleasantly surprised to find that her club is actually a smaller lady.



Painting a larger model was interesting, as I tried to apply what I've learnt to do to regular 28mm models to the much larger area.

Prime first, then clean mold lines. You can paint straight onto bonesium, so it's not a problem to do it in that order. it's a bit odd, but not a problem (IME)

A question on amnesty month - in the past, has it been 'partially completed models that were previously failed', or is it 'any partially completed models'?

I think most people don't paint their Ghost Arks, I was only able to find a handful online. It helps for most people that they do Necrons as silver with a black wash and a bright silver drybrush.

Even building it is rough. Each of those ten Necron passengers is 6 pieces. The helmsman has a separate neck piece for no real reason. Someone best described it as a "delicate flower".

The worst part is that I painted ten dudes the same, but because they're all glued together I can't get Themed Group!

Well this was an exercise in frustration but I learned a lot. Next month it's going to be better.

You need to include everything you oathed this month, in a single Oath Complete post. Here is the chain of events: you oathed something, I put that in the sheet. You completed it and posted an oath complete post, and I entered that in the sheet, including giving you points. You oathed another thing, and I deleted the points in the sheet, and the oath complete link. Now you've completed the things you added... and I need one link, so I can add the points back in and don't have to just remember that you had a previous oath complete post, and go find it.

I'm spelling this out because it's the second time this month I've pointed exactly this thing out (see thespaceinvader) and I'm having to point it out every month, so don't feel picked on too much, I just don't want to point it out again for anyone else.

So, please either edit all your stuff into the latest oath complete post (and tell me you've done so), or post a new oath complete post.

I already got it: when you made your oath, and you said which manufacturer made each model, you told me about the Corvus Belli models. So I got you covered. It doesn't hurt to mention it in the oath complete post too, of course, but it's not necessary.

Any partially completed models. You can also Save da Whales by completing oaths you failed during this oath thread, but the rules are different for these two different things: some models might qualify for both. (Example: you can technically Save da Whales for an oath that you finished, but not on time... e.g., models that are actually fully painted but you missed the deadline. Those models would not qualify for Amnesty Month, though, because you can't oath complete models. Conversely, you can use Amnesty Month to oath incomplete models that you started in 1994, but those would not qualify for Savin' da Whales, because they weren't from this year's oath thread. I hope I'm making things clearer and not muddier...)
