I, Pyrolocutus, am getting off my rear end and oathing Allison Jakes, a Cygnar solo from Privateer Press' Warmachine line.

This model will be done for the jurnal. Privateer Press partnered with Whitemoon Dreams to create a computer game based on Warmachine, called Warmachine Tactics, and ran a Kickstarter for it. Various soloes were available in alternative sculpts as KS rewards, and Allison Jakes was one of them, and this is the alt sculpt in question. She's also the star of the release campaign for the game!

Pyrolocutus posted:

Oath addition! This is Taelor, a Malifaux mini from Wyrd, part of the Outcast faction! I also hope to have her qualify for the jurnal.

Oaths complete! Jurnal accomplished!

Allison Jakes, again, she starred in Warmachine Tactics:

Taelor, meant to be based on Misty from Pokemon. Instead of summoning her own Pokemon, though, she rushes over and smashes the summoned opponent with her hammer. :black101:

(Also, I fixed the headband color after this photo was taken).

I tried to paint them like Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout games, turns out that color combination is almost identical to the studio paint job.

They are also joined by some NCR Rangers, also from Fallout (New Vegas specifically)

(I didn't have time to make bases for these guys, good thing I didn't include bases in the oath picture)

I claim Speedpaint for this guy

Special Oath! Since I goofed earlier in the season and was given mercy (and points) I promised to make a Mercy Oath. So I painted the sorriest looking model in my collection. Don't know what I will use him for, but he certainly is sorry.

Is it enough to paint something stereotypically spooky (like a skeleton or ghost mini), or is "put... on" the operative phrase and it needs to be something that wasn't part of the original model?

Well, the other challenge was a classic movie monster, not just anything spooky. I don't know if I'd call a random ghost a classic movie monster. :v:

But ultimately, of course, the thread administrators will let us know.

krushgroove: Oct 23, 2007; Disapproving look

OK, so here's the Challenge for October!

October: The month of horror movie releases and Halloween!

technical challenge: paint a 'classic' scary monster, like Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc. - but in black and white!
theme challenge: put something spooOOOOooky on your model!

I need to amend this :siren:

as the "'classic' scary monster" is unintentionally too limiting in the scope of models. Please update the technical challenge to:

technical challenge: paint any monster model in 'classic' black and white, just like Boris Karlof's Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, or giant ants - those classic movie monsters from the 40's, 50's and 60's!

To answer the specific questions (which is fine! questions are good!):

JerryLee posted:

I think you mean 'is it enough to paint a ghost model, skeleton model, mummy model, etc, or must we add something (as in sculpting?)' - if this is the case then:
YES - you can paint a ghost, skeleton, mummy or other stereotypically 'spooky' to claim the them challenge
OR - you can convert a model, for example to look like a slashfic horror victim or as Michael Myers or Freddie Krueger or other horror villain
OR - you can...I dunno, paint a spooky ghost on the side of a flyer model or something like that
OR - do whatever you think is within the theme of the challenge. I don't want to be extremely limiting here because of the breadth of games that are represented, and the various themes that people have for their army. It's up to your creative input to come up with something that fits within the theme challenge.

LordAba posted:

The TECHNICAL challenges are meant to really challenge people - this month's in particular because doing black and white well is HARD. If you don't want to do that but still want to get your Challenge point, find something 'spooky' to paint, add to a model or whatever.

JerryLee posted:

Well, the other challenge was a classic movie monster, not just anything spooky. I don't know if I'd call a random ghost a classic movie monster.

My original answer to this was what got me to change the Technical Challenge actually - To me and folks of my age (omg I'm getting old) 'classic' in this case means 'black and white drive-in movie from the 40's, 50's and 60's' - and I'd started to say stuff about Scooby-Doo monsters and Casper when I realized the strict wording of the Technical Challenge meant that you had to FIND THE EXACT RIGHT MODEL, which is not really in the spirit of the Oath Thread. So it's now open to any monster model.

August Judgement! :siren:

Third Place: MasterSlowPoke, 1pt

An excellent use of old parts to get a Destroyer Lord! He's got a regal, imposing look, which really helps make him stand out as Very Important.

Second Place: Schmetterling, 2pts

On a technical level your OSL is pretty good--kind of blocky, and could do with some blending, but otherwise does the job. But it's very bold and gives the models a lot of pop, and really distinguished visual flair, and with this model in particular I commend the use of the reaper flame bit. Next time, try adding an LED through the bottom!

First Place: Nesbit37, 3pts

The whole group of Ents are great, but this guy really popped out to me. Your use of glow effects and the look of terror and pain really adds a lot of character to such a small piece!

Bonus Point: Weirdo

Okay, you got a laugh out of me, you cheeky little bastard.
