OATH COMPLETE lovely phone pics, I'll see if I can get some better ones with my new (!) lightbox in the next few days. Some seekers of slaanesh, kitbashed with the hellstriders kit and hacked around enough that I'd call these conversions. Also claiming themed group. Despite the last-minute completion, that isn't wet paint you see, it's a high gloss varnish. I wanted their armor to have a shiny, beetle-like quality to it.  And the jurnal ingredient, a very silly haircut on this chappie:

Oath Complete! My Reaper Spirit of the Forest is ready to crush some adventurers!   I tried to flock on a beard, but it looked too much like a really bad neckbeard so I removed it to save his dignity. However as to my whales status: SAVING FAILED! WHALES NOT SAVED

Oath Complete!         I finished these over the past couple of hours, as I realised it was the end of the month and I'd not even unpacked my painting stuff.  that'll teach me to try to move house and do an oath at the same time.

 BRUSHES DOWN! That's it for November, folks! Some good stuff posted in these last couple of days... And already, here's the Detektuv's Jurnal for December! Oi gots meself across dat field o trenches pretty quick, leaving da oomies to fight it out for whatever they wuz disagreeing 'bout. Sumthin bout sum guy sez somethin to sum uvver guy...I dunno! We didn't care did we? 'Long the way wuz a dead oomie layin on da ground, like he'd been wantin' ta charge up the field, he's wearin a big black coat and sum massiv 'at - but next to 'im was a massive sword! Well we's got ta have that don't we, so oi picked it up, thinkin' it would be great fo' da wall in's me office after all this is ova...if we's ever get back! So there I was gettin away from all the fightins behind when I see's this crazy glow ahead a' me!  This month's theme: NON-METALLIC METAL! Paint a sword, gun, helmet, bit of shiny armor or something else WITHOUT using metallic paints - make it shiny in the right places, provide shadows and reflections in the right spots and earn GOLD (err, not metallic, painted). http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=10116.0Here's a good tutorial[/url], plus tons of examples here. And remember, the judges will be giving 1 point EACH for the best NMM done this month! If you don't want to do this Detektuv's Jurnal or you just can't see a way to do it on your chosen model(s), you can do any previous Jurnal to earn 1 point this month (instead of the 2 for doing the December Jurnal), but your Jurnal entry won't be eligible for points from the judges. krushgroove fucked around with this message at 11:58 on Dec 1, 2013 |

Dr. Gargunza posted:...Dammit, I'm half an hour late! (I thought the cutoff time was 7pm USA Central Time? I show 6:33 pm here.) There was a shift this month. It almost got me, too. In the last two hours I was timing things in my head, "Ten minutes for that coat to dry, twenty for the wash to dry, 5 minutes till I can drybrush with that brush again, etc." and was coming up short if I was going to make 5pm PST. I remembered that daylight savings time happened this month, and hoped that it would give me a extra hour in the conversion to GMT. It's a drat good thing that I checked, because it turns out that I lost an hour. Oath is due at 4pm PST now.  I had to cut some corners to get it in on time, and in the pic can see that my bases need another coat on the rim. The moral of the story is that I need to find time to paint earlier in the month.

So this means is a new month for Oathing, right? Time for my first ever. I guess that means Awww, it's a baby! I, NovaLion, oath that I will paint this Selthak Poisoner from Reaper Mini's.  I'm a terrible and slow painter, but if I manage to finish this guy before the month is over I can add to my Oath, right?

Alright, I've just gotten through the November oaths complete posts (wife's parents just left). There are some problems!Dr. Clockwork posted:Oath complete! No jernul Dr. Clockwork, you oathed six figures but there are only five shown here. If you painted the sixth, but merely forgot to present it, please edit in a photo of the sixth finished figure now, and post to let me know. On the other hand, if you didn't paint the sixth figure, I am required to reject your completed oath. I am very sorry! IrvingWashington posted:I'm p sure you already have this as a conversion, leperflesh, so I don't think I need to add anything here for that. I'f I'm wrong, please hit me with something appropriate. Monoliths posted:OATH COMPLETE While your Jurnal is credited, I need a "before" photo in order to credit you for a conversion. You can show what the normal model looks like from any reasonable source, such as a link to the vendor's photos or whatever, just need something I can compare to to tell your guys have been altered. Schmetterling posted:Oath Complete! I will build the December spreadsheet and start putting in everyone's new oaths in a few minutes. In the meantime, now is a good time to Check the spreadsheet for errors or omissions on my part! Krushgroove, your December post contains mangled character codes. I suspect you used a non-ASCII editor and/or that some intermediary container for your text does not understand extended character codes, UTF-8, or somesuch. As it is, there are tons of euro signs instead of apostrophes or quote marks or both. Let me know if you can't see it and maybe I can figure out what the dealio is.

Double-postin just to cover the new stuff:Dr. Gargunza posted:...Dammit, I'm half an hour late! (I thought the cutoff time was 7pm USA Central Time? I show 6:33 pm here.) Last month I made a post ahead of the deadline pointing out the time zone changes, but I was too busy today to do it. Sorry. The good news is, you can get an entry into the Whales contest. Just re-post your oath complete content as a Savin' da Whales post and I'll credit you. This also allows you to qualify for the consistency bonuses based on the month you save, for the end of the month. You will not, however, get points for November, sorry.  Rikthor posted:Welp, nevermind, thought I was fine for 8pm EST, didn't even catch the change. Same goes to you! I think you should get credit for the speed painting, though? I'll talk to krushgroove about it but I don't see why not. NTRabbit posted:So... I can take that tutorial and apply it to any colour I want right? Because I was planning on making all my Eldar meleee weapons green rather than grey. Yes, NMM should work with other colors. The effect is of a colored metal. If you're not too sure how it will come out, why not try a test on a piece of sprue? NovaLion posted:So this means is a new month for Oathing, right? Time for my first ever. I guess that means Awww, it's a baby! Yes, new month, time to oath! If you finish this guy you can add to your oath (search the first page of this thread for "making an oath addition" to find the exact rules for how). You must do it before the beginning of the last week of the month, and you will not get points for completing your oath until you've completed the add-on stuff too.

I, Grey Hunter, Oath the following for December  That's a UCM starter force for Dropzone Commander, 10mm by Hawk Games. its made up of 3 x Condor Dropships 3 x Sabre MBT's 3 x Rapier AA tanks 3 x Bear APC's 30 x Infantry in 6 bases. The infantry are base coated black, the rest base coated Green. Edited in the extra infantry, as I can't count. Grey Hunter fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Dec 4, 2013 |

I, JerryLee, oath to paint for December: One Games Workshop AOBR Space Marine Terminator, Converted Into a Chaos Obliterator  Undercoating it black then trying to get my phone to take a picture that showed any detail against my bright white laptop screen = not a great idea. Hopefully this picture shows well enough that it's a solid black right now. I'd like to officially submit this as a conversion if possible. Unfortunately I don't have a pre-conversion picture of this actual model, but this is a picture of an identical mini, with the exception of the targeting doohickey being on the other side for some reason. So if that's acceptable, I'd like to count it as a conversion. If not, oh well, I'm in to paint it one way or another.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing too... I was going to do it on my dinky servo skulls but those are so small to begin with that I don't want to try anything fancy there. So, on that note,‘Gotta do this bonus’ style: drgnvale posted:I, drgnvale, oath that I will paint this Inquisitor and three (3) servo skull markers. I, drgnvale, am making an oath addition! 1 Assault on Black Reach captain from Games Workshop:  He's a conversion, with his fancy bolter removed and replaced with a bits-box Shield Eternal. Pre-conversion:  I ended up attaching some random bits from the bits box that weren't included in the before picture, but I can provide examples of what they looked like (biggest piece is a tactical marine arm chopped off at the elbow, but also grenades to hide chunks of torso that were cut out, purity seal to hide elbow joint, weird terminator thing bolted onto shield surface to make it look like more than a run of the mill combat shield) if required.

Cool. The plan is to give that guy some serious lovin'. I don't know why I'm so interested in points anymore. I'm far behind already, and it doesn't seem like I'll be able to catch up. Ah well, at least I get some paint on my models. Speaking of which, I'm almost already finished with the first 20 zombies of my oath, so I'll probably add on a big handful more. 40 zombies in a couple of days isn't so bad.
