Question, could I satisfy this month's challenge by using some of the oldest paints in my collection? I still have some of the paint pots from my very first GW starter kit years ago. I'd be willing to take pictures of the paints and post them with my oath, and all. :)

Not sure this is what I'd do, but it's an idea I had!

That sounds perfectly in the spirit of the challenge! Take pics of the paints you use ;)

I The Moon Monster oath a Tethru Master of Words (28mm) by Crocodile Games and a Orc Chaos Mage (28mm I guess) by WizKids



The Chaos Mage is a pre-painted mini from the old Mageknight minis game, so I was going to paint it for the theme challenge. I could have sworn I read that posting pre-painted minis in their out of the box state was acceptable for oathing, but now I can't actually find a rule addressing pre-painted mans anywhere in the OP. FWIW I'm planning on completely re-doing it, not just touching up the existing paint job.

Approved!

I, Ashcans, oath these 5 28mm Eldar miniatures (plus support weapon) for April

In the spirit of this month's jurnal, these figures were all originally produced for Rogue Trader, and go back as far as 1987 - three of them are actually from the period where the models all had individual names, rather than just being a specific troop/type. I'm planning on doubling down on the jurnal by giving them classic paint jobs as well. :toot:



Edit: I know the support weapon looks like it has some stuff on it - that's the remains of a previous paintjob that is particularly stubborn. It will be completely re-primed before painting, let me know if you need pictures of the post-prime model.

It's fine, call it your 'Rescue' achievement :) Approved

That's a crit.
I, Ilor, do oath this WHFB Empire Standard Bearer (I think?) in 28mm from Games Workshop!

I think this is the oldest unfinished mini that I own. It doesn't have a copyright date on the tab, but it's from the old Marauder line, so mid 1980s?. The cat-chewed 20mm square slotta base to which he was semi- attached says copyright GW 1984, so this checks out. I vaguely remember buying him at the time because I thought his poofy pants and sleeves look cool and would be fun to paint. He has lived in the bottom of one of my minis boxes for the last 30 years or so.

Thought I did December but oh well here we are!

:orks101: December Judgement :orks101:

Third Place (1 Point): - TheFinalTuba

The monster is good, he's blended well and the individual hair sections picked out is very clean. However, I really like the woman. Her green stands in contrast to the cooler purple and cold white. The highlighting of the various depths of her robe is very well done.

Second Place (2 Points): - Red Shoe

These are extremely difficult to look at considering they're one of my most oft-used units but mine are bare metal and not even glued to their bases. The blending and highlights really stand out on them and the opposition of colors makes them easy to tell apart while still looking like a cohesive pair. Everything you do is good but the flat surfaces and defined edges of these models really show your skills off.

First Place (3 Points): - Lazy Angel

What do I even say about these. That you all pint these tiny ships every month is impressive enough. It looks like you dipped these in a gas puddle. That is just outstanding blending on the metallics into the pink.

Bonus Point (1 Point): - Ashcans

This is basically the theme challenge we all wanted to see.
