3rd Place, 1 Point: Red Shoe


It was great reading the walk through in the painting/modeling thread on how you painted up this guy. The work that went into it really shows up in the end result, really the result of all of your pieces this oathing season.



2nd Place, 2 Points: IrvingWashington



A clean, super effective piece. Colors work great together, the purples and black. Highlighting is consistent throughout, and it turned out very striking, it looks great. Base looks well weathered, fits great with the model.


1st Place, 3 Points: Arlaharen



Everything about these three is great. The color variation in sand on the bases, the nicks/weathering on the spear dude's armor/shield, the weathering on the cross, the highlighting and freehand on the scroll. Absolutely every detail and technique you used came together perfectly. Trying out that color scheme? Run with that poo poo.



Detektuv's Jurnal Bonus, Freehand, 1 Point: Namenlos



The banner kicks rear end, great details, looks like the reference pic. The shading and depth on the shoulder pad is also outstanding.

Well I wasn't sure if you were wanting to play as well :-) Raphus will be there from 3-ish and I've booked two tables somehow (one of the 'feature' tables and one normal one), so anyone who wants to play can show up.

The guys I'm going with will be leaving at 4 (we’ll be having lunch, looking around and hopefully get in a couple of Kill Team games) but after that I'm looking to play whatever, I've never played with anyone outside my group (or at WHW). So far Raphus and I are thinking of a 1000 pt game but I guess it depends how many other folks show up!

Cool well I probably won't be able to play as I only get 30 mins for lunch. Let me know on the day when you get here and what you plan on eating and I'll come over and join you lot. If you're still around after 5.30 I'll come hang out and maybe get a drink? I'll try and make sure I have some models in the office just in case :radcat:

Actually I'd love to play Epic, but I don't have enough stuff to make an army and none of the guys going with me will have anything but 40K stuff.

Thanks for doing another pic, I know it's a pain and any painting you've done on them is fine.

No, oath complete pictures don't need any timestamp. Some people have just got in the habit this time around and it seems to have stuck.

It's OK you couldn't make it, but if you had I could have let you use half of my army and we could have had a game on the sweet tables they have there. Raphuc couldn't make it in the end but I think we'll have to organize a proper meet-up with a bit more notice for everyone.

The trip to Warhammer World was fun, even if we didn't get any time to play on the awesome tables that are set up (the goon that was trying to make it from another city couldn't and I wasn't really up to trying to ask around for pick-up games) but we spent a lot of time wandering around, buying a few things here and there and enjoying ourselves. Met up with Namenlos and got far too many White Dwarfs, so plenty of reading material (and extra prizes for the Grab Bag!)

...I...took a few pictures: https://plus.google.com/photos/101792256154658567736/albums/5936205578977392769?authkey=CImGwYvg5JSRZg

If you've been on blogs and whatnot it's probably everything you've seen before but seeing everything in person was really cool.

Some samples photos:

The amazing Macragge display


The very first Citadel offerings


Sisters!


One of several dioramas on display, and one of a few by Mike McVey


Probably the most amazing single model I saw

Anyway, I took lots more pictures, pretty much one of every shelf they had (except for the missing armies that had been removed, like Grey Knights), plus pics of most of the Fantasy and LotR stuff too.

Haha, don't worry once I paint stuff it gets boxed away and never played with (last game was not long after 5th came out, and before that only played space hulk). Probably explains the short lived enthusiastic painting sprees.

:) and yeah maybe a Kill Team mini-tournament would be really cool! I don't have much of an idea how to organize one though, might have to find a volunteer. I think pick a date first so we can publicize it. I hope to make it an Oath Thread thing (at least for the GW players) so I want to invite Fantasy players also, though (and any Hobbit players if there are any), does anyone know of an equivalent of Kill Team for Fantasy?

:siren:Judgment!:siren:

1 Point: Monoliths!


A lot of times, I am a sucker for neat, orderly paintjobs. Now, I'm not saying that yours is sloppy or terrible; I'm saying that each part of the model bright, eye-catching and riotous in a sense. However, this stark contrasting is exactly what makes it great, and makes you great as a painter. Your style is always instantly recognizable, and I've had the pleasure of watching it develop over several years. This is a departure from your typical style, but it definitely works.

2 Points: Gareth Gobulcoque!


So, yeah. This is about as clean a paint job that I have ever seen; so in contrast for the explosive entry that was seen above, I revert to my tendencies for the spartan. Splendid in silver, with just the right touches here and there to really set it off, this model is absolutely fantastic. However, it does not earn 3 points because... Well, it might be too neat and clean. It really pushes the bounds of "very well done and clean model" and "very well done and boring model." Granted, you are on the better part of that, and I think the model's size may have something to do with the issue, but drat if you don't pull it off with style.

3 Points: Namenlos!


Speaking of style, we have one of our most stylish artists right here, and once again she puts out a fantastic display. The freehand on this guy is at insane levels, truly inspiring; the model itself conveys a sense of weight, a dark, grizzled sense that fits seamlessly with the lore of the model itself. I love pretty much everything about this model, so you easily get the points.

Special Cool Kid's Point: Rikthor!


Simple, elegant, classic and bold; everything I love about art in general, put onto a shield. :allears: You're doing well, and with more models under your belt, you'll be up on the leaderboards before too long, I can tell.

Side Note for Krushgroove

The "before" photo does not need to be of your actual model. I just need something that shows me what the original model (or component pieces) looked like, so I can compare it to the "after" photo and go "yup, that's actually a conversion, and not just some green stuff smeared on a part or whatever".

We need a reference for what the model started as. It's easiest if you just take a photo before doing the conversion work, but I will accept any photo reference that clearly shows what the original model/pieces looked like. (This is best if it's from the vendor or box art or a reseller or something, rather than "random model some guy on the Internet painted", since such a model could potentially also be a conversion, earlier version, etc.)
