First, if you add your username to your photos, you can get an extra point for the month. :)

Second, I don't think I can give you points for I rolled a 6! because your initial Oath didn't include the unpainted markers. (Unless I'm missing some pictures?)

Third, I'll defer to Krushgroove, but I don't think cleaning up your base would disqualify you from the Speed Painting. It's more in the gray area, though.

Ah, I forgot to take before-pics of the tokens. I'll retract that claim then, and add my name somewhere at some point.

Hey, I just noticed an error in the spreadsheet. You have the monthly Jurnal as 1 point, but the Quarterly Spreadsheet formula for determining qualifier is looking for a value of '2'. That is, you have the following formula for May:
=IF('May 2014'!O39=2,ʺYʺ,ʺNʺ)

If this is just a placeholder, then ignore me, but I figured I'd bring it up before people start grouching about not being qualified for the quarterly Jurnal prizes.

Yup, that's an artifact from our rule changes between Seasons 4 & 5. On the plus side, it's a rather consistent artifact, so at the moment, no one's earning credit. :v:

There will probably continue to be some artifacts until it becomes necessary for me to fix them (for judging purposes), but I can fix that one right now. Thanks for looking!

Parts List
I'm doing the parts list for the Dragon Ogres I did for the oath:

1 Box of Games Workshop Dragon Ogres

Primer:
White Armory Spray Primer

Base model Colors:
Citadel Etherium Blue
Citadel Lothern Blue
Citadel Mournfang Brown
Citadel Auric Armour Gold

Wash:
Citadel Nuln Oil

Highlights:
Citadel Etherium Blue (again)
Citadel Caledor Sky (again)
Citadel Lothern Blue (again)

Basing Materials:
Base was does with medium and small grit from the Gale Force 9 "Summer Pasture" Basing Kit
The rocks were just pieces of Cork I got from somewhere...
Citadel Waagh! Flesh
Citadel Dawnstone
Citadel Mephiston Red

Jurnal:

I started by spray priming the models white with the above mentioned primer:


Next I began doing base coats of the skin colors:


Followed by the armor and scales and such until everything had a layer of paint on it. I also touched stuff up at this point to account for mistakes:



I then liberally applied Nuln Oil (the wash) all over the models, trying to cover everything:




I then highlighted all of the skin, the bone, and well... most everything. I added 'Ard Coat to the scales on teh back to make them shiny.



Finally I based them with gravel, which I washed red and brushed grey, and have them standing on the rocks made from Cork and painted and brushed grey.



Finally if it counts double the fun for the dragon ogres for the Jurnal and the parks list!

Not super happy with how they came out, but I ended up doing less than an hour of work on each miniature. They are for a intro to Mordheim game I am going to run this summer and I want to have everyone using gangs that are at least painted to table top quality so I am banging some out:

May Oath Complete

Not my best work, but its been a busy few months, and it doesn't look like it will let up until the fall.

Some finished proxy Flesh Hounds of Khorne:



I felt like they should have something representing their anti-pskyer collars, so I painted their forhead ridges brass. I also ran out of inspiration for basing, so I played around with trying to wet blend colors instead of something interesting.

For my jurnal, here's some pictures I took as I was working:
After spraying them red, I applied some coal to their hair:

Then I washed the hair with a black wash, and the skin with a red wash:

Finally after annoying details, I hosed around with the bases and started to try drybrushing different shades on the body to give the red some variation:


I didn't read the jurnal too carefully, so if these pictures don't qualify due to not showing at least half the models in each one, I'm okay with it. Too late to fix that now anyway.

Is it possible to scale back oaths? I pledged 10 dudes but I have experimented and have been unsatisfied multiple times and I'm not the fastest painter. I'm only like 30% done on them on the latest job and I'm starting to have second thoughts about the color I picked.

There's no specific display board judging or competition this time - not enough interest last time, I think, but anyone can oath a piece of terrain or whatever that would be used as a display board.

The me, a display board is something you place your models on to show them off as a squad, army, team, group, whatever.

A diorama, on the other hand, is a snapshot in time, telling a story. Think of the most famous single pictures from photojournalists - the Kent University shooting, the Vietnamese soldier about to get shot, etc. Imagine those pictures as model scenes...that's what I see as a really good diorama.

Unfortunately Oaths are locked in when they're accepted, there's no scaling back... There's still plenty of time, and if you skip basing to save time you don't miss out on completing your Oath!

This would've gone so much smoother if I hadn't found a way to break the model in sixteen separate places, four or five of which occurred after I primed it.

Models primed black, drybrushed grey. (Note the blurry sword-arm in the foreground with a fresh coat of superglue on it for break #3!)




Basecoated bits on corks.





Last-minute replacement! The right-hand sword broke off and flew somewhere in my living room just as I was about to do the metals on it; I replaced it with the left-hand sword from the box. Here you see the pieces just prior to assembly.
