krushgroove posted:To my eye, you'll need to do a little than the tabards/loincloths to get 25% of the model in yellow. Maybe adding the helmet, the banner things, the hands or even the knees or feet in yellow would be enough. I'm not going to dictate to anyone how they should paint their models, so feel free to dig around in your unpainted pile for something else to paint yellow. Doesn't really fit into my scheme to do more than the cloth in a properly 'yellow' shade, but that's fine, I'll just toss something else in later. Thanks for the quick ruling. And yes, I originally posed the question when the challenge said 10% minimum--if it had been 25% I probably wouldn't have bothered asking.

thespaceinvader posted:Can we Whales stuff from last season? Hmm. I've never allowed that before. Here are three reasons why I hesitate: -There's only one prize draw, so if I allow Whalesing of previous-year oaths, the entries could gradually become saturated by the painters who have been Oathing the longest. I'd rather newcomers have a similar chance at prizes. -Previous years' oath threads eventually get archived. I have archives access, but many goons don't, so it would become difficult to verify the previous years' entries against a claim for Whales in the current year. -If you have forever to go back and Whales an oath, it'll be easier to put it off... forever. An incentive to revisit your failed oaths sooner (e.g., this year) might be the best way to get us procrastinators to finish things. That said, if there's a strong push by others to get old oaths in for Whalesing, I'm open to being convinced.

So, for an alternate universe oath, should I just take a picture of all the stuff at some point this year? I'm definitely in for it, I've got to paint my drat castle ravenloft stuff or I can't justify buying more boardgames just for the miniatures!

Leperflesh posted:Hmm. I've never allowed that before. Here are three reasons why I hesitate: How about a cutoff for failed-oaths - say anything from the final 3 months of the previous season can be carried over? (I don't how long it takes a thread to get archived - that might still be too long). I'd argue for something like this because we'd allow a fail from month 1 to be whale'd almost a year later in month 12, but a failure in month 11 or 12 is almost/completely impossible to save. I don't know if thespaceinvader's failed oath would fall within this span though...

I will say I disagree with the "almost/completely impossible to save" - remember, this is something the person actually oathed to paint in a month, and had a whole month in which to paint. Sure, if that oather wants to finish another full regular month's oath in addition to the Whales, that's... well, at least one additional model? But yeah I could do a 3-month lookback or something. I'm wondering how many goons that would actually benefit, though. How many goons failed an oath in the last three months of the last thread?

Could we make it even simpler and just with the last month of the previous season? That allows for the 'oh crap I didn't realise the season was ending' folks without carrying too much over between seasons.

I'm just shocked it looks like I'll finish my oath tomorrow. I'm going to find more stuff to Oath. The Adeptus Mechanicus range is excellent so far. Nicely detailed and paints up well.

I, LordAba, oath 8 okoshrooms, 2 kinoshrooms, and 2 witches (from Super Dungeon Explore by Soda Pop) for May. I guess 28mm scale, though it's hard to tell because of kawaii chibi. Woo, first pledge. One of the witches will be yellow! Yeah, the green on the mushrooms and the purple on the witches are the plastic color. I have about a million models to paint for this game, so this should work out well. LordAba fucked around with this message at 11:55 on May 6, 2015 |

Just a quick Alternative Universe question: Are things in the AU Oath eligible as a regular monthly oath? For example, if I AU Oath an entire boxed army, could I pledge the command section of it in a regular monthly oath? Or would they be off-limits because that's effectively double-dipping? (Benefiting twice from the same work.)

MasterSlowPoke posted:That would go against the spirit of the contest, minimum. Surely that would then just be a super oath. You've got to hit all the monthly oaths that make it up plus whatever else (so if you had stuff you had started before but not finished for example). Like Alternate Universe Oathing a whole Kickstarter worth of stuff and your monthly Oaths are taken from it.

I could see cases for it going either way, really. I'd like to try a pretty massive AU project this year, but don't want to get locked out of working on it for a regular monthly oath since that defeats the purpose of the monthly oaths. (Ie: Getting your stuff painted.)

(Ie: Getting your stuff painted.) And I am much the same. My alternate universe oath includes at least 3000 points of mechanicus, and what I have oathed so far for the month is a part of that. I view it like an extended oath, so you might alternate oath what you want to definitely get painted by the end of the year.
