Land Speeder will be done tonight, so I am going to oath my first tactical squad since I painted my first models last year. Going to make a Sergeant and Special Weapons Marine with ALL the extra options. Unsure if I should make these guys part of the 3rd Company as opposed to the 2nd. I am thinking of doing a mix of many different companies instead of running pure 2nd. Thoughts?

This is a pattern used by the Polish in the 30's. It was mostly retired by WW2, but it's really pretty so there you are. I'm really glad this came up, or I'd never have tried painting my case and now I'm totally glad I did.

KR Case. Went with a watercolour style inked design copied from a GW banner as it'll most likely be used for small units from my DOW army. Pretty happy with how this turned out!

Schmetterling posted:

Finally, my KR Multicase!



I used heavy gloss gel (aka my water effect goop) mixed with light brown acrylic paint to create a textured, wood-grain-like surface. This was washed with a darker, more reddish brown acrylic paint, and then the boards were lined in black. I made the nails from greenstuff lumps and painted them with Boltgun Metal as there weren't too many of them. The back and sides of the case have been painted with plain black acrylic paint.



Here's the case In Battle at the weekly Malifaux night! I'll take photos of my actual minis when I play a game too, don't worry

As I mentioned last week after Indolent Bastard asked about this contest, I brought the photos of your amazing work to the Derby World Wargames show last weekend and spoke with the awesome owner of KR, Daryl. My intention was to show him the photos of your cases and let him choose the winner.

Unfortunately, and this is me being totally truthful to my own detriment, I actually missed a couple of the photos while going through the June Oaths! egads! However, I told you Daryl is awesome, and to prove it he said that he loved all the work and couldn't actually pick a winner - so you're ALL getting a KR Aquila case! :)

So what happens next? Unless you've sent me your details recently (since the start of this Oath Thread), please drop me an email at krushgroove169 @gmail.com with your full name and mailing address so your case can be sent to you. Please also let me know if you're OK with KR sharing your name with your case photo on their Facebook page! Unless you say so, I'll assume you are OK with them sharing the picture and your name. You are also welcome to send me a photo of your case without your username in it.

And just to remind you all of who and what KR Multcase is:

:havlat::havlat::havlat:AUGUST JUDGEMENT:havlat::havlat::havlat:

1 Point: Electric Hobo

Your actual lighting in this shot is lovely, it is true, but it only works so well because of the painted lighting effect. The rocks on the back wall are my favorite, they are fully tangible, exaggerating the depth of the sculpt in a natural way. Our adventurer friend is looking pretty sharp too, the dark shadows make the bright saturation of his clothes really eye-catching.

2 Points: SRM

This is an absolutely iconic model and it’s very satisfying to see your handling of it. Every detail looks great, and the colors are well distributed between each. The somewhat cheeky (narrative-forging?) addition of the shield I think ties him into the deathwing aesthetic nicely, as well as the little icon on his back which is so crisp, good god man how that is crisp.

3 Points: Bavius

Grand to behold! A really inventive ork scheme, for some reason I am really enjoying the deep blood red of the various lenses next to the faded pinkish red paint on the armor. It’s daring and totally works. The various camouflages across the armor are wonderful, the blue and green sit nicely next to each other. I wish I had some closeups, the graffiti and number markings look great even from a distance.

Technical Challenge Point: Schmetterling

This series has an amazing graphic look that just kills me. It’s pretty cool how on one side they have a high-contrast monochromatic light show, and on the other the full scheme is legible and not muddied by shadow. Like the light is being cast in an already well-lit environment, which isn’t a look often approached.

Hey, thanks a lot! Just to reiterate though, everyone should definitely try things. Last year was the first time I've won anything, and that's largely the result of making myself do every challenge every month, and forcing myself to gently caress up all the time.

You don't have to do bases. I'd personally just stick them into some cork painted like a rock, snap some pictures and then re-base them later.
