 Oath Complete! I don't have individual pictures of the five chaos space marines, but they're here with some Orlock Necromunda guys as The Dukes of Hazard Stripes:  And in battle, in my local Necromunda league where they spent this game courageously hiding from a crazy IG gang full of snipers  Except for the gang leader, who ran forwards and died, but at least got upstairs via a slew of close combat brutalities:  And a much happier game where they all charged forwards, jump troops leading the way by leaping through ruins:  Followed by the rest, who slaughtered everything they came in to contact with:  Nb: backpack space is left grey, as that's where I'll be blu-tacking jump packs/extra weapons/injury markers during the Necromunda campaign.

With this season coming to a close (to my knowledge) and the new season coming up, I regret my past submissions to this thread because I broke my oath like 3 times. Anyone got strategies for ensuring you fulfill the oaths you make? I'm thinking it might be best to just oath like one model a month but it feels like such a cop out.

Oath slightly more that you think you would do in a month. If you can really only paint 12 figures a year, then that's 12 more than you would have done otherwise. This is kinda why I liked the Alternative Universe Oath this year - it helped me make sure I painted 35 models in two months - with standard Oaths I'd only have felt comfortable with 10 or so.

Definitely going to agree with this. Push yourself, but not too much. And commit the time before the end of the month.

IMO, it's not better to oath more than you can handle and fail than it is to make a cop-out oath and complete it well! I don't think there's any shame in oathing, like, a single infantry model in months when you know you'll be busy, or don't want to tempt fate. Just try and make it up with a greater volume of models in the months when you can.

Oath Complete! For the Double Trouble Jurnal I cut and swapped 3 of the grots guns, then freehanded some checks onto one of them.   Here is my All for one  May- Flame cannon and crew Here June- Orc Battle standard here July- Ork Warphead here August- Antipode here September- Painboy here October- goblin crew and tunneling monster here November- 4 savage orcs here December- 4 shadows of brimstone heroes and 2 tentacles here January- 1 bandido and 3 slashers here Febuary-3 hellbats and 3 tentacleshere March- 6 objective markers here an in battle shot  and Strike a pose  Herberto de Luna and his companions had made short work of the mass of tentacles that had sprung out of nowhere. It was turning out to be a pretty easy job as far monster hunting expeditions go. Which was just as well as he had decided to spend his cash from the last job getting his tentacle mustache removed instead of more dynamite. He couldn't help feeling that he was missing something though...

...Okay, some of you might recall that I made an Alternate Universe Oath back in...some months ago. Here's the link to that post: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3630222&userid=176065#post430444041 And now, somehow, not sure how I managed to do this, but:  ALTERNATE UNIVERSE OATH COMPLETE! Prepare yourselves for some crappy photos of a crappy paint job from an alternate universe! From the pulpy depths of the 1930's, it's: FORTUNE AND GLORY!  OUR HEROES:  SHARON HUNTER: Tough-as-nails photographer from the mean streets of NYC! Can she get to the bottom of the vile organizations' nefarious schemes? LI MEI CHEN: This wily minx from Hong Kong has a knack for finding trouble--but can she get herself out of it? JAKE ZANE: Will our lantern-jawed pilot save the day--or crash and burn? ANGEL ESPINOZA: She's got the touch when it comes to fixing machines--but can she wrench herself out of danger? ALEXANDER CARTWRIGHT: His novels are best-sellers--but can he evade our villains' nasty plots? THE NAZI BASTARDS:  COLONEL STAHL: Ruthless, cold-hearted, and determined to find his Führer's prize! TRESA: She's got the smile of a viper, and fangs to match! HERR TEUFEL: How many innocents will this fiend in human skin torture to get the information he wants? The TROOPS: As stupid and cruel as they are loyal to the Führer's evil! THE ORDER OF THE CRIMSON HAND:  SIR BENJAMIN CROWLEY: The forces from Beyond have twisted his body to match his evil spirit! ANGELICA HAMILTON: The silver screen left her behind--but now the world will pay! THE INQUISITOR: Who knows what madness he has summoned to this unsuspecting Earth? The CULTISTS: Subtle, cunning, and determined to bring our reality to its knees! Shi Hai! Shi Hai! THE MOB:  FRANCO FEDICCI: Boss of Bosses, his avarice and brutality know no bounds! VANESSA LOVE: She has the voice of an angel--and the naked ambition of the devil! ICEBOX EDDIE: Fedicci's right hand, a stone-cold killer with a heart of ice! JOEY SMILES: This wise guy is only too happy--to kill! MICKEY THE HAMMER: Fedicci's blunt instrument, the deadliest man alive with a Louisville Slugger! The MOOKS: These "made men" have one job to do: unmake our heroes! Here's a link to the album in all its un-resized glory. (I'm a bit displeased with it overall. See if you can figure out when I gave up on painting their eyes!  )

Oath complete!    The main event, the Sacral Vault. Incorporating jurnals: customized base, OSL, and weathering.  Black Ivan, using Box Art  Elemental, Merriod, Shadow Dragon  3 Farrow siblings, Zachareth, Belthir  Ashrian, Jain, Grisban, Avric, Leoric, Tarha. Grisban's backstory is filled with little other than drinking and violence. Adventurers try to steer clear of him when possible, but sometimes warriors are in short supply and Grisban will work just for the cost of his currently preferred drink. He is reliable, generally, when pointed toward the enemy and given a shove. However, Alric One-Arm is demonstration that Grisban's allies shouldn't keep a wide berth while the dwarf is in action.  Striking a pose, our heroes gather in a remote lodge to plan the next day's expedition. In the corner, Grisban the Thirsty lives up to his name by cracking open a keg. Unfortunately, this would prove to be group's undoing. the next morning, Grisban proves impossible to wake. Not wanting to delay any longer, the others depart. Sadly a dwarven berserker would soon prove to be just the thing they needed...  In Battle

 Oath Complete! Oswald the Overladen is ready to carry all of your burdens! Don't enlarge the photos, he's really really ugly as he got sat on by the cat whilst wet with a wash and so I had to redo most of him from scratch this evening    Jurnal: There's some OSL from the lantern, the metal bits are very poorly attempted in NMM, the ground is pretty weathered with all that blood Oswald's boss has left lying around, and Oswald is wearing red lipstick for "Red My Lips", because April is sexual assault awareness month and he'd like people to donate to related charities. All for One!  May 2014: Ghost and Demon-Dog June 2014: Bloodbowl Amazon and Turn Marker July 2014: Gravedigger and Bloodbowl Amazon August 2014: Dragonslayer and Bloodbowl Amazon September 2014: Freikorps Flammenwurfer October 2014: Freikorps Steam Trunk November 2014: Muscle Dude December 2014: Three Rats January 2015: Space Opera Diorama February 2015: "The Avengers" March 2015: Griffon and Mockingbeast April 2015: Oswald the Overladen, in this post! Hopefully next year there'll be even more models in the group photo. I've relied heavily on the single-model minimum this year, due to a lot of university and health stress that's made painting pretty hard for large bits of the year.

Just an FYI to all the anxious pledgers, I'll be updating all of these oaths into the spreadsheet once I get off of work tonight (give me about 10-12 hours from now).  I do not want to hold you all in suspense!As of this moment, my book keeping ended just before Signal's second update on the prior page. So if you've completed after that, I haven't give you your points yet.

Woo-hoo! I've been confirming prize support with our prize suppliers today, all looking good so far. I'm also updating the wiki page so the companies giving out cool awesome things can see what kind of support they're getting for their product. And now I'm off to start the Season 6 Oath Thread! Keep an eye out for a link, which should be posted in the next couple hours.

 March judgment! Third Place, 1 Point: Red Shoe  Great blues on the Constance Blaize and Gallant models, they go really well with the golds on the models. Cool looking tile/stone bases as well, great color choices. Awesome job on the Throne, great shading on the skin, and nice blending down to the pink of the mouth. Second Place, 2 Points: Signal   Great work on the little tanks this month. Very clean paint jobs all around, top to bottom. Crisp, well placed highlights, there is a lot of depth packed into the models. First Place, 3 Points: Gareth Gobulcoque  Amazing work on the Dreadfleet models this month. That red is wicked smooth, but great coverage and blending on the sails of all three ships. Jurnal, 1 Point: Deanut Pancer  Two months in a row for you for the bonus points. Great color choices on the base all around. The damaged areas are very well executed. The melting and scarring look sculpted, it all looks very good.

 MARCH TO JUDGEMENT1 Point - Schmetterling  The mimic is certainly very nice, but the griffin is quite something else. It manages to look realistic and still magical and awe-inspiring. The plumage is great, it has a sort of natural iridescence. The transitions between the colors are smooth, no single color stands out too much. I like the business ends of the creature graduating to pure white, to draw your eye to the head particularly. The basing fits nicely, it's easy to imagine what the lair around the beast would be like. 2 Points - Deanut Pancer  This guy is fantastic. The cyan you've chosen is lovely, it breathes life back into the "blue space marine" look. The supporting colors are very well chosen, there's quite a lot going on but it's the careful attention to particular hue that I like most. For example: the grey, cyan, and silver play within the same realm but are still distinct. The red, yellow, gold, and even the orange lens somehow avoid clashing. I like the simplicity of the conversion, too. It's easy to get carried away with techmarines, but this guy is utilitarian as gently caress. Also that might be the nicest looking auspex I've seen. 3 Points - Gareth Gobulcoque  Well, you've gone and done it again with the boats. Though they are all splendid, this one (I forget the name) is my favorite. That sorta magenta-crimson is blowing up my poo poo. It's so rich and full of character. The gratuitous gold trim must have been quite a chore, but it looks lovely. The sail adornments are all suitably regal and varied, with flawless attention to the details of the sculpt (the hammer skeleton cracks me up though). A particular treat: stone-cold grey on the cathedral in back. It anchors (haha) the whole scheme but absolutely lets the aforementioned sublime crimson do the talking. Finally, your wave technique continues to delight. Bonus Journal Point - Laika the Space Dog  An excellent homage, and I once again admire your dedication to the monthly themes. It's always a pleasure to see what direction you'll take them. The king's jaunty space-crown made me laugh in real life! I included the shot of the badass converted old epic knight, because it's cool too and those greens are kickin.

Grab Bag Winners! We have albums going for both the US-based and the UK-based prize pots! So here's who you will contact for your choice of prize: If you live in North America, you are choosing from Iris of Ether's prize pot. If you live in Europe, you are choosing from Krushgroove's prize pot. If you live anywhere else, you may choose from either prize pot. Krushgroove's Prize Pot Please contact Krushgroove! Here is his prize pool: https://plus.google.com/photos/101792256154658567736/albums/6101553472560459121?authkey=CObR282Px8L_wQE Iris of Ether's Prize Pot https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/118371598943498703849/albums/6062125106046823217?authkey=CNaG7-Drk5qKBg Thanks again to everyone who donated! If you're drawing from Iris's pot you should pick both a 'small' prize and a 'big' prize! In general, that means one prize equal to a GW box set and one prize equal to 1-3 solo minis. 'Gimme a big hit from the box of Bones' counts as a valid choice, by the way. There's so much loot that there's still gonna be a huge end-of-year prize left over from this, even with being this generous.
