The last one was fun, let's give it another go! :)

I, Sydney Bottocks, hereby oath for the month of August the following models: a wizard, an apprentice, and a treasure hunter for the Frostgrave game



(from left to right: treasure hunter, wizard, apprentice)

The figures are all Reaper miniatures, and they're on Dragon Forge bases (the "stone floor" base, IIRC). I figured I would oath just these three for the month as I want to put a little extra time into 'em (as opposed to the WW2 minis where I'm just painting to get them on the table as quick as possible).

Can we add stuff to our oaths as we go? I might have one or two more figures for Frostgrave I want to add in later on, if that's OK.

1 Point - Uroboros


Those are some great looking assassins, especially this bad mofo. It can be said that black, white, and red are all difficult colors to work with, and they're all represented really nicely here. I like the shading on the skull, looks like grey with a very slight touch of green? Very skully, works great. The highlights on the black suit and red armor is nice and smooth, and achieve just the right amount of contrast with the base tones. I also enjoy how subdued the base is, it works well considering the dynamic pose.

2 Points - Gareth Gobulcoque


This cool experiment is definitely worth some attention. The inked-looking shading is pretty sweet! I can see how it must be tricky, especially on something like wide expanses of cloth that would need a smooth gradient of some kind. This fella sells the look very well, and the boldness of the colors certainly help out the graphic feel of the shading. Your other entries this month are great, too, I can't overlook the surfing skelly in particular. The flat but bright colors of the board perfectly remind of pro swim gear.

3 Points - Germ


These modular terrain pieces are an absolute joy. It's very impressive how versatile they can be with a few different terrain types to switch between. I like the option of leaving the slots unfilled, to expose more of the stagnant water, or filling them with a simple low-profile slab. These kinds of options, and a generally sensible approach to the variation of angles in the stonework, makes it look like these are very functional in-game. Also I shouldn't let those warp spiders go unmentioned, as they are rocking a great and simple scheme. The reflections on their backpacks are very tasty.

Technical Challenge Point - Dr. Gargunza


The cocktail umbrella is hilarious. I love how experimental this all is, from the greenstuffing to the painted shadows to the ice cooler. That's some solid casting work for sure, I don't see any of these alleged imperfections from here. The ice looks super refreshing, and makes me want to grab a similarly green-tinted bottle from my own fridge. In fact, why don't I just do that. Cheers!

The OTHER thing we really need you to do if you're doing an Oath Addition is to do what Germ did here, which is to collect all the completed Oaths into one post so the spreadsheet can be filled in with a single URL.

Sweet, thanks! I didn't really expect to make anyone's radar considering what I've seen so far.

The skull is Zandri > Seraphim Wash > Zandri > Ushabti > Screaming Skull > Very thin line of White Scar on the most raised portions like the eye sockets. The eyes themselves are Stegadon > Sotek > Temple Guard Blue. The whole thing looks a tad darker in the picture than reality, imo.

Also, I was going through the spreadsheet. Did I win something for June, or is that a typo? I didn't see my name on a post, maybe I didn't look hard enough.
