OK, fixed. I somehow got the link in for your themed group, but not for completed. (You forgot to re-mention that that was for get based out, in your oath complete post, but no worries.)

Oathing: Reaper bones vampire conversion and Privateer Press Beast Mistress, three Blighted Nyss Legionaires and 2 Stinger light warbeasts.

For conversions, can it still count as one if the conversion was done already? I made it before and have WIP pictures of it but I created it between oaths. Still gonna show the process but just wanted to be sure.

As Leperflesh said, this is just fine!

While I don't get why you'd really want the BS over the rokkits, the conversion works well, some nice weathering and some kustom details about. Nice job.

:(

thiswayliesmadness, for exactly the same reason that OneTrueBru's November model isn't eligible for third prize from Sole.Sushi, it's not eligible for first prize from you: this was a Saved Whale, and OneTrueBru didn't do a regular Oath that month. I'm sorry but you'll have to pick someone else.

It takes a lot of effort to read that date (focus/brightness/something?) - just something to note for next time - if it were marginally worse I'd have to ask for another picture.

Query about Savin da Whales - last month I oathed a bunch of terrain and a squad of Fire Dragons, currently all of the terrain is in some state of paint from half done to finished, but the Fire Dragons I completely ran out of time on and all they have on them is one coat of white primer. Can I save da whales on the terrain and reoath the Dragons, or do I need to whale the lot?

If it's in the picture, it must be painted! (j/k) A Challenge! Paint it and include it on your model or base somewhere! No extra points, just for giggles.

A Savin' da Whales entry must consist of 100% of what you oathed in a previous month, but failed to complete. So, if you want to do a Whales entry, you'll have to paint all the terrain and also the fire dragons.

Alternatively, if you don't care about Savin' da Whales, you could instead re-oath those Fire Dragons. Since they're unpainted, they're eligible for a fresh oath. That would let you earn points for painting them.

You can only do one or the other, though, not both. If you do decide to save the whales, keep in mind that doing so is outside of your month's oath, so you'll have to additionally oath at least one model in order to get points for the month and qualify for monthly and quarterly prizes.

Models are from Games Workshop.

Any tips on magnetizing or making the different weapon/support systems swappable? Also, I had a question about the bonus objective "I rolled a 6!", how many unit markers should I be doing for full credit? I was going to make up some pinned/gone to ground/fleeing markers for infantry units, would a half dozen or so be ok?

Yup! 3x2mm neodymium magnets are perfect, so using a pin vise and 3mm drill bit (and maybe a smaller one for a guide hole), drill into the "socket" on the arms and jetpack shoulders to make a slot for a magnet. With the weapon systems snip off the tabs and drill the same hole for the magnet.

I found that most of the time it'll be a very snug fit for the magnet, so when dry fitting it might get stuck in there. If it does, just keep teasing it out with a stack of magnets. Glue 'em in with normal, thin super glue.

All I can say, is check, double check and triple check the polarity of the magnets so that they're all correctly positioned across every suit. Nothing worse than finishing magnetising all your weapons, then finding out your suits repel them on one or both sides.

There's no official minimum. Six will be fine, though. I think we'd probably draw the line at something silly-easy, like I don't know, a single disc painted a single color being submitted as a "marker". But the bar is pretty low for this one.
