Dagon posted:Converted from DVDA Bikers If you want to get credit for a conversion, I will at some point need before and after photos to show that they're converted. You can use stock photos of the product as before photos if you want, but some kind of post-conversion close-up of a converted model or two where you describe the difference or show the greenstuff or whatever is needed too. krushgroove posted:

For March I oath these counts-as Ten Thunders monks- The models are from Cipher Studios (intended for Anima Tactics) and GCT Studios (intended for Bushido). I'll be using them for Malifaux. Conversions were the bases, changing thenm from standing on small rocks and balancing on twigs in ponds-    -into cobbled streets and balanced on brickwork, and smashing apart walls to huck at people.

Did we get a ruling on scratchbuilding as to whether or not that counts as a conversion for the sake of the jurnal entries? To be more specific, I'm thinking about scratch building some terrain for this months oath. If not, I do have some converted models on my desk awaiting a lick of paint but wanted to hold off on painting those until the rest of the models were converted (necromunda gang out of chaos cultists) Tonight I have a wife free night, so if terrain counts towards the jurnal, then I foresee an evening of cereal packet card, sticky back plastic and a butt load of polystyrene... and gallons of PVA glue. Oh yesss. Muuuhahahahaha! edit: wait, found it.. krushgroove posted:I'd say scratch building falls under conversions because of the time and effort of making a decent scratch build or conversion, so have any it! Can I just clarify whether this includes terrain? Just to be a pain in the backside

Iris of Ether posted:I'm making an Alternate Universe additional oath with some 12-year-old Woodland Scenics trees I've had laying around: Oath finally Complete!    So the two morales of this story are 1) playing with strange craft store items to make trees is kind of fun (when it's not tedious) and 2) if I don't have a monthly limit on something that requires effort, I will apparently put it off for 10 months. But they're done now!

Iris of Ether posted:For March, I pledge (1) 'Hell on Earth' mutant from Studio 2 Publishing. I'll be jazzing it up with post-apocalyptic weaponry bits (also from Studio 2) and giant fly wings (Zealot Miniatures). Scale is 28mm. Here are my 'after' pictures for conversion of my mutant:   That mantis arm is going to get glued on after I paint it. Confession: I love Bugman, and he'd totally be painted already, but for my buddies voting that our two-shot gaming adventure this weekend would be 'the one that uses the minis that Iris hasn't painted yet'. So in lieu of that, have some WIP shaky-cam gnomes. Neon hair and bowler hats for everyone!

Belatedly,  FEBRUARY PRIZES  Dragon Forge Miniatures: $12 worth of their awesome bases shipped directly to: Haydrian!  A blister pack selected from the box sent to us from Corvus Belli goes to... oh poo poo.

I will have to discuss this issue with Krushgroove to decide what to do.  A pack of Springer-Pinsel Kolinksy Sable Brushes goes to: Raphus C!  An item chosen from several lots of game stuff from The Troll Trader goes to: LazyAngel! An item from the Detektuv's Grab Bag goes to: Android!

Red Shoe posted:Would a repose that involved cutting and green stuffing count for this month's jurnal? Yes. Pretty much if you take knife to your models, sculpt something, move a bit, you are doing a conversion and it'll count. We are usually quite liberal in interpreting the monthly themes, and this month is no exception.

For March I oath one kitbashed techpriest. For Warhammer 40k, 28mm, all parts GW I'm sure the hodgepodge of different plastics and metals makes the conversion pretty clear, I can post photos of the different stock models if preferred. Consists of the following parts which were bought, found, donated or in one case literally picked out of a pile of trash in the street: Legs/torso back from Dark Angels marine Torso front and shoulder pad from marine vehicle crew Marine backpack with one vent removed Scanner arm and servo-arm from a techmarine Marine pistol arm Rogue Trader era marine auto-pistol (yeah, that was a thing once) Rogue Trader era ork axe Empire Flagellant skull & scroll with added eyepiece from marine scout Brettonian peasant archer head Servo-claw from source unknown

I, drgnvale, oath this kitbashed Space Marine HQ on a bike, all GW parts from various eras. That backpack is (C) 1994! I'll probably try to model a cape or something, and I haven't settled on which marine torso and legs to use (robed or not-robed) so I just put them both in the photo.

I might go buy some more parts for my kitbash today (I'm playing at the LGS, so I feel obligated to buy something). How does it work if I substitute in some of those parts (probably the space commander backpack, some shoulder pads and the actual cape rather than something I'd be completely greenstuffing) instead of using what was in my oath picture?

For March, I oath this Games Workshop 28 mm Pile of Bits that will be a Chaos Lord/Sorcerer. The head is from Ahriman, the sword arm from Archaon in the Fantasy range, the body and backpack are from the 3rd edition metal Chaos Lord, and the left bolt pistol arm is reconstructed from leftover arm bits from the Chaos Marine kit and a 2nd edition Space Marine Bolt pistol since I lost the plasma pistol hand. It's a project a friend of mine bought the parts for when GW still had a bits service but we never finished.

I, Pash, Oath for the month of March 1 Converted Questing Knight (GW parts), 5 Mantic Wraith Models, and one Mantic Vampire To get a look at what I did on the conversion for the questing knight here are a couple of close up photos on the knight:   I used a High Elf Nobel torso and arms, a Bretonnian Horse, the legs of a bretonnian knight, and a non-helmeted bretonnian knight head. The bits on the back of the horse are GW men at arms bits (used to make it look like he is carrying lots of gear with him) and the shield is a GW Grave guard shield which I am using because questing knights are traveling a lot and I figured he didn't have a chance to replace his shield since his last fight. The other bit visible is a bird in a little bad which will be glued to the horse when I get some paint on it.

I, Dr. Gargunza, after some panic at not being able to find anything to convert in all my piles of unpainted minis, hereby oath: (1) Tawny Firehair, Cat Girl for March! This is from Reaper Miniatures, 28mm; as you can see, it's fresh off the shelf at the FLGS. Conversions on this will include some clothing to make it less obviously cheesecakey, and a weapon swap using one of the bows from Reaper's Elven Weapons pack (pictured above against the tablet screen; I'm thinking the second one from the right, and possibly the quiver from the same sprue if I can get it to fit).

 Oath Complete! The Judge  Troll Potion  Papa Loco  The Dreamer   Lord Chompy Bits  Detail shots!  And a size comparison. Whew! So, I went for this month's Detectuv Jurnal (Conversion) AND the Get Based Out bonuses on Lord Chompy Bits, and I'm glad it's done. I've been putting this commission off for months and months, and thankfully the customer is very understanding and put no real pressure on me. That puts me pretty much done on this guy's Malifaux orders too! Now to get started with the 20-odd Dark Ages models he dropped off...

Oath complete! Got done early, so I'm hoping to work on my alternate universe oath and get some more terrain done. I'd love to oath my soulgrinder this month too, but it depends on what else I can get done.       I'm claiming a conversion and, therefore the Detektiv's Jurnal. I can claim both, right? Full credit goes to Goon BuffaloChicken, who inspired me with his sweet conversion so much that I wanted to make my own. For a before shot, I originally used parts from the GW Tervigon, FW Blight Drone, and GW Plague Drone:    For the after shot, here's the labeled pre-painted picture from my original Oath: Germ posted:Labeled parts. May as well make this my Based Out Entry, as well. I made the base with rocks and greenstuff maggots, and then cast it in resin.

I will have access to SA, and my wife's computer, but it's unlikely I'll be making changes to the spreadsheet while I'm gone. I'm back everyone! Spreadsheet should be caught up now. I'm gonna reply to some individual posts, but for everyone: please remember to provide both a "before" and an "after" photo of your conversion work! A "before" photo means the model and/or parts that you used to assemble your conversion. This can be taken with a camera before you convert your model, or, it can be photos grabbed off the Web of what your unconverted model/parts looks like. If your model is entirely scratchbuilt, please take a photo of your unpainted model and clearly indicate that it's entirely scratchbuilt (a few comments about what you made it out of wouldn't hurt). Your "after" photo is your model after your conversion work is done. This can be before or after you paint it, so your final Oath Complete photo works fine as an "after" pic. I'm only pointing this out because I'm seeing several Oath photos where you state it's a conversion, but the model is poorly lit (or just a silhouette against your monitor), sometimes already converted, and I really can't tell what if anything has been done to convert your stuff. MasterSlowPoke posted:Push it through to next month? Krushgroove and I liked this suggestion. So: Special Prize AnnouncementWe will be awarding Two Corvus Belli blister packs for March, to two goons who paint Corvus Belli miniatures and haven't won the prize before. This is a great opportunity to pick out an Infinity model from your local game store and get it painted up! You don't even have to be a player of the game, to enjoy the fine range of models from our generous prize sponsor, who deserves our enthusiastic support. Namenlos posted:Question about One-Time Bonuses; can I do more than 1 on 1 model? Like, for instance, add a banner for Fly Your Flag and then pose it for In Battle? Sure. Rikthor posted:I, Rikthor, oath (1) Games Workshop Converted Aspiring Champion of Chaos! This is an example of what I mentioned above: This works as an "after conversion" photo, but I need a photo of whatever marine figure that is, pre-conversion, so I can see that it's been converted (beyond the line of green stuff I can make out in the photo). A stock photo from GW is fine. Germ posted:I'm claiming a conversion and, therefore the Detektiv's Jurnal. I can claim both, right? Of course! It'd be pretty silly of us to have conversion as a theme, and then not let people use the converted models to enter into Manifest's Favorite Conversion contest. moths posted:Quick question - There's a lot of detail on the backpacks and gear that I didn't photograph, am I ok to edit in additional photos until the deadline? Yes, just make sure the edited post timestamp on your Oath Complete post is before the final oath complete deadline. Also, be aware that most of us don't read backwards through already-read posts, so if you have a question, or just want to show everyone in the thread some better photos, an optional alternative is to post a new Oath Complete post, which you can also do any time before the deadline. When I see it I'll update the spreadsheet to link to the newer post. Arklan posted:Never done this before, but I, Arklan oath three scratch-built Hunter-Class Destroyers for Battlefleet Gothic. They're each just under 2" long if it matters. Also, far less yellow in real life. Welcome!
