I know there are several days left to go and I only oathed 3 minis, but not sure if I'm going to be finishing my oath for August. My work schedule changed recently, and that, alongside dealing with some personal issues, has left me with absolutely zero motivation to get any painting done. So, yeah.

The worse part of this thread is knowing what I want to do with the Challenges for the next month, but being unable to work on the models! I have plenty to paint before hand, but man... Paint people from a TV show for September, and I have a bunch of masked models from Aetherium who are basically 4chan/Anonymous hacker group. Coupled with the fact that Mr. Robot is ending in a couple of episodes.... A match made in heaven.

Oath Completed   Baleful Realmgate. Jurnal is the mystical glowy blue flame within the gate.   Ophidian Archway.This thing has ridiculous amounts of detail. I tried for a worn-out look rather than filling it with verdigris like some of my other stuff 'cause there's way too much brass for that,

It's always stressful to oath at this time of month. I don't want to NOT oath and paint something that won't count. I also don't want to NOT paint just to avoid failing an oath. The solution? Another Oath Addition Dragon by Reaper in Bones.

Hello, lovely people! I've been working on adding to the publicly accessible web page that highlights our monthly Judge's picks and sponsors, please feel free to check it out and share it: https://somethingawfuloaththread.wordpress.com/ This was made mainly for the sponsors, so they have somewhere to go where they can see what their sponsorships bux are going towards, and to show that this is a real thing that lots of people take part in. Part of the difficulty of doing this is that this thread is not a podcast, open-access website or web forum, SA is behind a paywall so it's not as widely known as you might think. So the Wordpress site is mainly something for the sponsors. I've made blog posts for most of the new sponsors like Frontline Gaming, Secret Weapon Miniatures, Wargames Tournaments and Acrylicos Vallejo and sent them the links so they can get a sense of the appreciation we have for them. I'll also be adding in the monthly figures when I can (as long as they're impressive!) so they know how many people they are reaching. However, this thread is also about encouraging painters to expand their horizons and become better (whatever that means to them/you), so each month all of the Judge's picks will be featured, plus after all the Judges have made their choices I'll take the top picks from each Judge and put them in a photo montage (yeah!! a montaaaaage!!!!!) at the top of the site - the header image, basically. So you can show off your achievements to your grandma or girlfriend and get your cheek pinched and a shiny new nickel pressed into your sweaty palm to congratulate you. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make it better (keeping in mind it really won't get that much traffic and it's meant mainly for the current and future sponsors), please let me know your thoughts!

If you (or anyone else) have suggestions, let me know! This would be great.

I am hesitant to start a project beyond the prep stage just because its something I want to oath along with being what I want to work on next. The only thing I can think of to make this work within the current point system is that any oath additions that are not finished must be added to the following month's oath. If you don't oath any additional that month maybe you lose a point? I'm not exactly for penalizing people by taking things away, but if someone does an addition and does another oath the next month it just means they have more they need to get through painting. If they don't oath anything that following month than they basically got credit for failing an oath the previous month. On a some what related topic, there is a model I want to prep for painting up to the base coat level for next month but the basecoat is two parts due to the nature of the paints I am using. I want to airbrush on a metallic and then do a candy coat on top of that to tint it to a colored metallic. The entire model would be base coated that one tinted metallic color it just takes two steps to get there. Can I do this ahead of time or do I need to wait until the first of September?

I am hesitant to start a project beyond the prep stage just because its something I want to oath along with being what I want to work on next. What I'm looking for are suggestions on how to handle Oath Additions in a gentler way that "oh, you didn't finish your 3rd Addition? you get no points" quote:The only thing I can think of to make this work within the current point system is that any oath additions that are not finished must be added to the following month's oath.

I was going to say I don't like the idea of someone losing a point for not completing an Oath Addition, because the points are that low now that a single point can be pretty hard on someone, and it's not like you're getting additional points for doing an Oath Addition...however at the moment if you don't complete an Addition you lose ALL your points for the month, so maybe this is a viable thing. Thoughts from anyone else? or is this even an issue? quote:On a some what related topic, there is a model I want to prep for painting up to the base coat level for next month but the basecoat is two parts due to the nature of the paints I am using.

So yes you can do a videogame, TV or movie character for September's Oath theme.

 OK, now for something really exciting! We've now got our  Secret Weapon Miniatures DISCOUNT CODE FOR SEPTEMBER!! Just head over to http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/ from the 1st of September and up to the 1st of October, place an order and enter AWFULSEPT as your exclusive Oath Thread discount code to get 10% off anything from the Secret Weapon store! The discount code lets Secret Weapon know that they are getting something for their grand prize investment, so it's kind of a 'thank you' that goes both ways. I know I'll be looking pretty hard at their site for certain bases and loads of other things. If you'd like to thank them, place an order and/or head over to their Facebook page!

I think it would be fair to allow your second (or whatever) oath addition to roll over to the next month if your original oath is completed provided that you oath and complete something in the following month. If the point of the whole endeavour is to get people painting stuff then the rules should encourage people to actually complete stuff. Also, yay for sponsors! Will take another look at their catalogue...

If you (or anyone else) have suggestions, let me know! Nah, I'm just grousing. I don't think it's that big of a problem. It adds to the end-of-the-month drama. Oathing is serious business! That website looks great! Glad we've got an external site for the sponsors. Hey - does my painting-area-completed after-photo need to be time-stamped? I took pictures when I was done but forgot to include a world time server shot. It's gotten a bit messier since then, but I could always straighten it up again and re-photo if need be. And my final, last minute OATH ADDITION. Gonna paint this 50 mm campfire marker made from Hirst Arts casts:

I may have to look into some stuff next week, but keep in mind there might be a super secret hidden contest next month. Or there might not be! Dunno yet. Let's just say if you paint an anime show / game / etc you might be able to win some relic knights stuff. Or not! I honestly can't remember. Fun fact: My friends and I are planning on entering the team tourney at Adepticon, so we went in on a huge order of bases from Secret Weapon so we could all match. Well, long story short they literally mailed my a trophy for spending the most amount of money ever and I get a percent off for life. It is one of those weird moments that make you reflect on your life...

They were discontinuing the bases I used for my Infinity army, and when I ordered as much of their remaining stock as I could, they included the rest. They also regularly sponsor a big regional tournament in the Pac NW. Good folks who care a lot about the gaming community.

So, maybe I went a bit for quantity over quality this month, but … OATH COMPLETE! The technical/theme challenge is the campfire (which includes flames and OSL on the rocks). I’m also claiming Spring Cleaning. To start with, here’s the last-minute campfire I cobbled together from Hirst Arts bits:  Here’s the Reaper Bones Dragon that I’ll be using for my Wood Elves army (formerly for WHFB, now for Kings of War):   This is the US Armored Rifle Company (sans transports, those’ll happen in some future oath) for Flames of War:   Here is the terrain I’ve been working on for my own Worldsmith Industries. Some ruined walls, a plinth to be used for statues, and a modular rubble “wall” to be used as an obstacle.        I’ve also been playing around with cast resin hills. Here’s my latest iteration. It’s not as tall as I’d like (only up to 1.25 or so inches at the highest point), but I used a 1:3 slope in most places, so models can stand just about anywhere without tipping:   I got a slew of scatter terrain from the THMiniatures kickstarter I backed:       This is my favorite piece from the set – a large ruined temple that can be opened up to reveal a fighting pit inside. Consider me inspired!    Finally, my project room got cleaned! I can now cast without getting tetanus.
