Nothing here, but patience is a virtue. It was nice for them to offer the prizes, but we have to be 3rd or 4th tier on level of stuff to do; so I wait.

RETRO PRIZES!

Include something retro in your oath this month (January) and win one of two, two, that's right TWO starter sets for Counterblast! What counts as retro? Anything really! Old Fantasy models, old Scifi models. Put a modern zing in any historic (or a historic zing on something modern). I will draw two random winners at the end of the month unless someone goes above and beyond with the theme. Any questions ask me.

So, what do you get? Well, a rulebook for Counterblast and two starter sets! One person will pick between space pirates versus tall women, or bubble helmet federation guards versus brain squids. The other person will get whatever is left over.

What is counterblast? Other than cool models it is a neat little game, alternating group or individual activations, a lot of support for custom games and campaigns. There are FAQs on the site that clarify some of the goofy interactions; this is the first edition of the rules after all.

Well, this turned out weird.

Before.

After



It doesn't look nearly as cool and impressionistic in reality as it does in the full-size shots. :sigh:

I completed this guy in less than a day. Can I claim Speed Painting, or is that one really strict about the accepted deadline thing?

E: Probably help if I had the completed timestamp image in there too.




E2: Wait, why is my timestamp going backwards? Did I gently caress something up with the time website?

E3: Okay, clearly I did something wrong, since the UTC clock is at the same point on both images, which doesn't match the time in SST in either shot. Scratch speed painting, how do I fix this?

Krushgroove sorry but I think my September oath (and addition) is missing from the album. That or my eyes are failing.

Ugleb posted:

And additional oath complete!



I'm claiming the theme challenge too please. These are all taken directly from the Batman Arkham Asylum game and Victor Zsasz on the left there has appeared in the Gotham TV show in his pre-Asylum days. I was trying for something that was neither tones of black/grey/dark blue nor the typical Blackgate prison orange that is very common in the Batman game. I was shooting for grubby off-white straight jackets instead.

I did take loads more pics but they all turned out to be crap for some reason. I was trying to show Zsasz's 'marks' and my attempts at palid lunatic musculature but most the pics came out too damned blurry. My camera seemed to be struggling with the lighting and locking onto the lighter colours. :/

Okay, once more without timestamp shenanigans.



One completed Ultramarine. I hope this counts for speed painting, not that it's a terribly complex miniature, and since this particular piece of plastic is old enough to vote, I hope it counts for the retro challenge as well.

Grotsnik and the Mekboyz:

'Ardboyz:


The theme for this month is the snow basing on all the boyz, as well as the winterized riot shield/Taurox door on that one 'Ardboy!

I'd like to claim the Retro Challenge Thing for the Mekboyz. They're Spanner Boyz from Gorkamorka, and their tabs say 1997. Almost 20 years old is pretty retro I'd say! I would have liked to go full on Oldhammer for this challenge, but I don't have a ton of time for the rest of the month.

More pictures are in the 40k and painting threads for anyone interested.

Ancestral Guardian


Familiar - it's a pretty retro mini from the 80s


Dwarf - Tried for a white scheme for the Jurnal with hints of colour in the shading, it's meant to look kinda ghostly but not sure how well it turned out (as is it looks a bit more like a marble statue or something)

Retro journal is this Catachan beefcake from 1994, or at least that's what the tag says. I'm pretty sure it didn't find it's way into my collection in 1994, I was not into hams when I was 6 (I started hamming when I was 8!).
