3rd Place, 1 Point: Mt. ORourke




These guys look great. Great bases, great placement of the grass. The glowing effect of the red works perfectly with the metallics you've got going.


2nd Place, 2 Points: Red Shoe



Great batch of models. Love the purple and green on Gorman here. The gear bases and diamond plating on the Warmachine models are outstanding. Love the overall look you have going with them.



1st Place, 3 Points: Slimnoid




This god drat hydra here is the poo poo. Everything was executed perfectly. The base is amazing, the lava/fire pits are out of this world. The colors work perfectly together, great use of a small palette.

Detektuv's Jurnal Bonus, Lighting,1 Point: JerryLee



I think this turned out great. Nice, subtle application. Fits with the paint job of model as a whole, doesn't look out of place.

Torug found the hamma in some Ummy temple. All the ummies were screamin about it belonging to some God. Ummies is stupid if they think Gork or Mork would use somethin that weedy. […] We smacked the temple around good an propa to show em[...]

It's time for the judges to do their rounds!



1 Point: Iris of Ether



There's OSL, and then there's putting real lights into your model for the actual effect.


2 Points: SRM



While I've been enjoying your old school style marines, your job on them this month was pretty ace. The paint job meeting the stuff like the lens, skin highlights (and HL's in general) really mix the old and new well. Plus there's that awesome mutilator you did this month.

3 Points: Red Shoe



Again, you banged out a ton of different and well done pieces this month. And still you find time to put the unique touches on each one, like this one's water effects and nicely done OSL. Using the theme with glowing vials instead of the standard flaming sources got a thumbs up.


Bonus Point: Schmetterling



The candle glow effects are subtle, but help hammer the lesson that less is more sometimes.

First up, a quick Slaaneshi space marine in an experimental scheme:


Legends speak of a gesture of great power, known to the mystics of Ancient Terra but lost in the millennia of turmoil that followed. This particular aspiring champion unearthed its nature while delving through archaic picts, and now employs it to devastating effects against the servants of the False Emperor. (I'm hoping to count this as my Jurnal, :effort: though it may be.)

Next, Morvahna:


This is my attempt at Box Art, as far as my crappy skill and available paint allowed. Reference for original artwork


Edit: Uploaded a new front pic of Morv to reflect the fact that I touched up a lot of the detail linework.

You mentioned in your Oath that you'd done a conversion, too. However, you didn't post a "before" photo to go with (what I presume is an) "after" photo in your Oath. So, I haven't put you in for a conversion for the "manifest's best conversion" quarterly prize. If you happened to document your conversion work, feel free to post it and I can add that in.

You can update your Oath Complete any time before the oath complete deadline, which is of course Midnight GMT on Feb. 28th. If you do post an update that you need me to react to (like, for claiming more points or something), then make sure you let me know. If you're just updating photos, you can just go back and edit your Oath Complete post - Krushgroove will see the updated photos when he puts the slideshow together, since my spreadsheet is already pointing at that post.

You can, at your option, also just post a new Oath Complete post, and I'll update the spreadsheet accordingly.

OATH COMPLETE





I'd like to claim them as a Themed Group and get my point for Backstory:

Following the release sixth edition, and the discontinuation of the winds of magic deck, captured dice are becoming an ever more common sight in night goblin units. Such dice are usually deployed by the night goblin units in support of their shamans or to get extra distance from fanatic releases. This band of night goblins has captured a paintbrush, allowing them to add extra pips to their captured dice, increasing their combat effectiveness. Extra care must be exercised when playing against an opponent who uses night goblins, as they tend to congregate in casualty piles off to the side of the board. Generally, to minimize such 'cunnin jiggery-pocky' the best policy is to leave the night goblins alive on the table where you can see them.

Some prankster has replaced all the street signs with popular German beers!
(Dettinger, Veltins, Bitburger, and Lowenbrau.)

I'd also like to replace my previous Get Based Out entry with this month's bases. They were a lot more effort and I think they look superior. Plus, that's the actual right font for German street signs in 1945.

It's also my intended immersion-breaking Jurnal entry for the month. Which should be somewhat obvious, as he's wearing a grass skirt and power armor made of palm tree bark and coconuts.



The warjacks are magnetized for gameplay purposes to indicate crippled weapons systems, though I forgot to do their heads. They're also loosely pinned at the torso, so they make their own wreck markers. This was also my first attempt at salt weathering; I'm kind of meh on the results.
