I Grey Hunter, Oath for this first month of the new thread - "Goonville" - a 3mm Scale village made up of 10 interchangeable sections, and 96 6mm WWI German Soldiers (who are about to occupy it.) by Baccaus Minitures. The village is going to be an interesting one to do, as I'm most likely going to be using wall paint for most of it.

I have a few questions! most of them are probably self-explanitory, I'm just making sure I'm doing things right as I get into the swing of things. should I wait for approval before starting the actual paint? I've got half my may oathed models assembled now, and will take another pic once they are primed. I can oath as many times a month as I like, as long as they are all completed by the due date? as an addendum to that, assuming I can complete multiple oaths in one month, do you need to complete at least one a month to get the "master" achievement? on the subject of the starting point, it says "zenithal priming IS allowed, however pre-shading or picking out details is NOT allowed** " I'm not sure what that is, I have 15 Ork Kans that are primed, and then misted with a second metallic primer. a google search seems to confirm this. would they be allowed to be entered in that condition? they have no other paint, just a black base and a silver mist spray. can you complete multiple challenges/achievements within the same oath, or do they need to be separate oaths? (I.E. would completing a unit of 10 fantasy models within 24 hours complete the May theme of painting a fantasy themed model, speed painting, and squad goals, or can only one be completed at a time?) for the "It's a rescue!" challenge, can a heavily converted model or scratch-build that is half built but unprimed count, or does it need to be a pure "paint" rescue? It case it's not obvious, I'm super excited about joining the Oath thread! I'd also like to throw down the gauntlet to any other speed painters out there. I'd love to go head-to-head in either a single model time challenge, vehicle, monster, unit, or anything else y'all can think of! My personal goal is to finish 1,000 models in 12 months.

I'll answer what I can! Krush is the official answers man though.malal posted:should I wait for approval before starting the actual paint? I've got half my may oathed models assembled now, and will take another pic once they are primed. Nah, go for it. Your oath pic looks fine to me so paint away! malal posted:I can oath as many times a month as I like, as long as they are all completed by the due date? as an addendum to that, assuming I can complete multiple oaths in one month, do you need to complete at least one a month to get the "master" achievement? You can make oath additions in a month (mention Oath Addition in your subsequent posts) but note you only get credit if you complete all your oath additions in a month. i.e. don't add stuff to the oath unless you're confident you can finish it. Your oath completion post should include everything you have oathed that month. malal posted:on the subject of the starting point, it says "zenithal priming IS allowed, however pre-shading or picking out details is NOT allowed** " I'm not sure what that is, I have 15 Ork Kans that are primed, and then misted with a second metallic primer. a google search seems to confirm this. would they be allowed to be entered in that condition? they have no other paint, just a black base and a silver mist spray. I'd say that'd be fine, it's essentially a single colour (silver). The rule is mainly to stop things like picking out weapons and things in a different colour. malal posted:can you complete multiple challenges/achievements within the same oath, or do they need to be separate oaths? (I.E. would completing a unit of 10 fantasy models within 24 hours complete the May theme of painting a fantasy themed model, speed painting, and squad goals, or can only one be completed at a time?) You can claim as many Achievements as you want in a single post, and can do either or both of the challenges (also called Jurnals). Note even if you do both challenges for a month it's still worth 1 point. Some achievements are automatically scored (1st/3rd/6th/9th/12th completed oath) and the 'all in one' can only be scored in April (iirc you don't have to oath during Arpil for this so long as you post the pic). For anything you're claiming be sure to add them in bold in your oath complete post to ensure they aren't missed. malal posted:for the "It's a rescue!" challenge, can a heavily converted model or scratch-build that is half built but unprimed count, or does it need to be a pure "paint" rescue? I'd say it applies to anything you rescue, e.g. a badly assembled figure from eBay you're taking apart and fixing up would count - however Krush has the final say on this. malal posted:It case it's not obvious, I'm super excited about joining the Oath thread! I'd also like to throw down the gauntlet to any other speed painters out there. I'd love to go head-to-head in either a single model time challenge, vehicle, monster, unit, or anything else y'all can think of! My personal goal is to finish 1,000 models in 12 months. Welcome aboard! Adding personal challenges / competitions etc. is always welcome, just post and paint - it'd be neat to have an 'everyone speed paint the same mini' type competition but it's probably not that practical sadly.

I, JackMack, oath one GW Bloodthirster and one GW Keeper of Secrets The daemon stretched its many limbs out for the first time in aeons. It had been trapped too long with the minion of war. They had been lured into the jar of Bonne Mammon many years back and held there, deep under a dark brown potion brewed by the sorcerer Daniel Ettol. The daemon sniffed, he could smell the stink of it still on him. He felt washed out and colourless. He gazed across at his cellmate who was crouched, panting. He looked similarly pale. They had made an oath that bound them together, and had exchanged true names to bind this. The sorcerer Daniel Ettol, or whatever successors lived now, would suffer... They were too week to manifest straight away, it was either an aeons wait to recover, or a possession. He sniffed the metaphysical air again, apart from the stench of the liquid of D.Ettol, he could smell weak minds, they were close and they were open....

Grey Hunter posted:The village is going to be an interesting one to do, as I'm most likely going to be using wall paint for most of it. Probably be the best way to go if you need serious quantities of paint. The paint store I work at you can get a quart of "sample" paint for about $7-8, some others do bottles of several ounces for around $3-4 and you can get it in basically any color you want. My store's samples only come in satin sheen though, but that doesn't matter since you'll probably be layering it all in matte sealant anyways. Ever since I started working there I look at these half ounce bottles from P3, GW, etc and their $3-4 price tag and wince. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 16:25 on May 2, 2016 |

Season 5 was the first time I oathed, and painted anything really, and I focused on painting a lot of stuff to get the basics down. Most of it looked passable, but it was nice to see my progress through the season. Last season I tried to focus more on technique, and I actually managed to get a few judge awarded point! That felt pretty drat good, seeing that I really was getting better and that someone else actually though that my work didn't look like complete crap. Anyway, I'm here again.
