Indolent Bastard posted:A group of friends have decided to play SAGA (the not terribly historical, but very fun) dark-age skirmish game. And rather than spend a bunch of cash on 28mm minis (or even 15mm) and making all new 28mm historical terrain we elected to scale the game down to 6mm. Most forces will only use 55 or so models, so my purchase netted me 3-4 armies worth of minis for $60 shipped.

I hereby oath for the month of March 2 'kinda-sorta' GW Drop Pods These 3 door wonders were bought in an ebay lot with some dreads that failed to note that they were scratch built. While they're built decent enough, I ended up paying pretty much full retail for them after some massive import charges thanks to the seller marking the package at it's brand new value. It's interesting seeing some of the methods he used to build them such as mounting the storm bolter inside to a slotted base. And on the plus side, I don't to deal with assembling real pods!

Is kit bashing fine for the purposes of this months journal? I haven't still quite decided what I want to paint this month, I'm waiting for some bases to arrive in the mail.

Grey Hunter posted:I, Grey Hunter oath for the month of March One Deadzone Plague faction (Mantic 28mm) and 2 Dropzone Commander command units (Hawk Wargames 10mm)  Also I am making an oath addition Please add 6 bases (18 models) of Scourge Ripper worms to my oath. These are 10mm and made by Hawk Wargames. Their going to take like three colours to do, so I may as well do them now. EDIT, I've just noted the local newspaper I'm using has the headline "Rubbish Scheme" partly obscured by what looks like the label of some food packet. Even the newspapers are critics of my painting it seems!

I, Ripley, oath to paint this Games Workshop Thunderwolf Cavalry model for the month of March. I'm not feeling all that enthused about painting more power armour, but the wolves are fun. Maybe I'll even branch out and try something non-space-marine-y next month.

I oath 6x GW 40k Objective Dice Holders, and one converted cannon The cannon is converted from one of the Ork Battlewagon guns, and one of the trukk/battlewagon wheels, with some plasticard and a plastic hook I found.  Here's a close up of the parts. Hopefully this is sufficient to count for this month's Jurnal?  Edit: Adding how the post-conversion cannon looks before painting:

There are 9 separate top ten Grand Prizes (I'm counting the KR cases as two prizes and the Badger Minitaire sets as two prizes), and 10 total Zombicide 2 sets, everyone in the top ten gets a Zombicide 2 set no matter what and the top 9 get to choose their prizes. Also, everyone who's waiting on their Games & Gears brushes, I've been in contact with them and they have all the names and addresses of just about everyone who's had their names drawn. The only names I didn't have are from the very first prize draw and anyone who never contacted me with your details (there are 2 or 3 people who never replied). So let me know if you suddenly start getting G&G brushes! krushgroove fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Mar 3, 2014 |

Man, gently caress this dragon's flimsy-rear end ankles. I've boiled and reboiled him to try to set them, nothing loving works. I'm seriously tempted to just glue his tail down, but I want to keep him removable from the base. Arg. The important bit is I got him painted and assembled (though the base isn't yet completed) in time for the game this weekend  (It's a known issue with Deathsleet unfortunately.)

I'm seriously tempted to just glue his tail down, but I want to keep him removable from the base. This sounds kind of dumb when I say it out loud, but would magnetizing the tail to the base help any? Do those little magnets have enough force to help stabilize him?

Probably, and I'm seriously considering it (though I don't currently have any magnets the right size). The other option is to put a pin into the base and leave a hole in the tail to stick it down, but I'm not sure there's enough thickness. I can live with it for now and work it out after I use the mini in a game this weekend.

Under 15 posted:Two questions, while we're on the topic of the spreadsheet. poo poo. Yeah, Krushgroove agreed via email that that entry should count, and I forgot to record it. You're all taken care of now. Deanut Pancer posted:Here's a close up of the parts. Hopefully this is sufficient to count for this month's Jurnal? That works for your "before" shot of your conversion. Your "after" shot should ideally be after you're done converting, but before painting... but after painting is also OK, as long as it's obvious that the painted model was built from what I can see in the "before" photo. Grand Prize Chat On the spreadsheet, I have the following listed for Grand Prizes: Badger starter Hawk Wargames Wayland Games KR Multicase Tadhg krushgroove Arlaharen Mura Minis Mega-Grab Bag That's nine things, but if we have two Badger sets and two KR cases, that actually counts up to 11. I also know we have the 10 Zombicide sets, and we have a terrain set from Corvus Belli too. So we're well over ten already I guess?

Honestly, while painting mine, I thought the best solution would be to prop one of the arms up on a ruin or rock or something, not give the torso anywhere to go. Believe it or not, even after getting it into a good position, the heat from handling it was enough to warp it a little. I'm afraid the person I painted it for stuck it next to a heating vent or window, and it is now leaning in some awful manner.

Although I think the Badger prizes should be split up still (1 complete Minitaire set and 1 Minitaire starter set, no reason to give those to the same winner). The 2 KR cases can go to the same winner though.

The 2 KR cases can go to the same winner though. Yeah, definitely split the Badger sets, it'd make no sense to keep those together. We could split or keep the KR cases, depending on what they are... I'd be in favor of splitting them if it means we can 'pay out' prizes to more places, though. I think most goons can find use for a single KR case, unless they're really small. As a reminder to those watching, in addition to the Grand Prizes, which go to the top points earners in the season, we have a number of additional season's end prizes. This includes a terrain prize, the tiny troops prize, tiny troops army prize, alternate universe prize, saving the whales prize, the corvus belli terrain prize I mentioned, and a prize that will go to one of the goons who donated prizes this year! prize prize prize

 I, JerryLee, oath to paint one Privateer Press Warpborn Skinwalker  The conversion (if it counts) consists of relocating the head to be up on the shoulders, with a new greenstuffed mane and an Orboros medallion where the neck hole used to be. I decided the posture on the stock model was just too goofy for me. Here's what the sculpt looks like pre-conversion:

Uhh...not that I don't trust you, but can you provide a picture of the 6 Black Orgun please? AFAIK no oath has been accepted this year of just the kit box and while you've got a stellar reputation amongst us all I don't want to set a precedent where someone can just post a box without showing the actual model or sprue they'll be painting. Your other two models are accepted but for the Black Ogrun it would be great to see a picture of the models themselves with a timestamp (if you've already started on them that's fine).

I wanted to make this a separate post, but if anyone knows of any GOONS who have a model-related business, side business, service or whatever, talk to them and tell them they should consider partnering with the Oath Thread! There's plenty of space for prizes and I'd like to promote goon-owned businesses for the season 5. I've already got one goon on board and would like to see several more. On the same subject, if anyone has contacts at any of the many model, game and supply companies, please let me know, 'introduce' us via email (mine is krushgroove169 at gmail dot com) or get us together in some way so we can make season 5 at least as good as this one. On another note, the rules for next time will be much-simplified (I'd like to use the phrase 'drastically simplified') and also easier to read through (plans are in the works...) to encourage more people to participate. So please, fear not! It won't get even more complicated that is all...

Due to pressing real-life issues it has sort of taken the back burner, but depending on how things go in the next 2 months (ie I'm not homeless) I might be able to throw in some stuff for the cause. At the very least I have some space hulk-style bases I can toss in for prize material. Also, see if you can't get hold of Germ, I know he does those bomb-rear end vehicle wreck markers.

Thinking about it, I do have a couple of ruined buildings from an OOOLD 40k starter that might do, or a big rock; his lower hand isn't that high up. Modelling the lower hand grabbing a smaller mini would be great fun but well beyond the time available to me. I actually finished the paint job already for this guy, and just varnished him for use at the weekend, but I need still to sort the basing.
