:siren: just FYI everyone, I'll be out of town from tomorrow (Wednesday) to Sunday (the 10th, I think), so if I'm delayed approving your Oath don't worry about it, carry on and if there's any issues I'll let you know.

I'll also be away the same days next week, so same thing goes, but I'll make another announcement then.

So, I've never attempted NMM before. Lately when I'm about to do something I haven't tried before I like to do a "sketch mini" where I just try to bust out something and get an idea of how theory translates to practice.

So, here's my quick speedpaint sketch of NMM. Total painting time was about 75 minutes, but I ran some errands while the glue on the base dried.

Jurnal is, hopefully obviously, the entire thing--he's an NMM gold (or some yellowish metal) golem!

If anyone's curious, I used the tutorial here as my guide, substituting brands of paint but otherwise following it to the letter. I don't think I did it justice, of course, but I was pleasantly surprised with the way my own model turned out.

Speaking of which, since this was so simple (color-wise) it's probably a good month for a Parts List, in pictorial format:

Time for me to announce, Oath Complete!

Not sure how I feel about it, I probably have more layers of paint than I really wanted, because it took me a bit to find the right shades (I started a shade too dark on these guys before I realized I need to go much, much lighter). I suppose I could be forgive as this is my first (and second) attempts at NMM. But, here we go;




What every Flames of War player wants to see, three airplanes.







Then I realized I forgot to put the bombs on the planes, so...



I will probably find something to add along the way this month. Or get to work putting other things together, we'll see.

Basically it's two German infantry groups and two light vehicles, which is a decent starting point for Chain of Command. We aim to try the rules on the 18th, so hopefully these will be at tabletop standard before that.

Oath completed

For my oath, I opted to try the jurnal for this month. I wasn't...really...sure of my ability to do it, so I decided to take a couple pictures along the way for the thread overseers to decide. For reference, I am following this tutorial which I found via Google: http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/?topic=10116.0

Starting off, I'm doing it small, so the NMM is just on the Gun Mage UA's sword blade, which in this picture is bare except for primer.



Moving on, I put P3 Bastion Grey as my base on the sword blade.



I mix a bit of P3 Morrow White in with a smear of Bastion Grey to get a lighter grey and lighten up the side of the blade closer to the UA.



Mix up some grey with Thamar Black and use that to darken the farther side.



Add a bit more Morrow White to my grey smear and lighten near the tip of the sword.



Back closeup.



Overall, I think I got something of a NMM effect near the tip and in the lighter regions, but the darker regions need to be better defined? Might help if I had a darker grey on hand rather than trying to mix in black. Claiming jurnal if okay.

Outside front picture along with a Squire and Journeyman Warcaster I finished recently (didn't oath them because they were already partially painted)



Outside closeup of UA.



Photo from the back, mostly to show off the little brick wall I built for my Journeyman Warcaster.
