I Ugleb, hereby oath for the month of August; The Joker, Harley Quinn, The Goathead Priest, The Grin Twins and two Joker Gas Canisters.

Please note that I have taken advantage of the 'bases are not counted as part of the oath' bit of the rules to start on bases. I would like to try and get a couple of these done by Saturday for a tournament, so please excuse the shameful assumption!

Zark the Damned posted:

Alpha Barracudas reporting for duty!

The Alpha Barracudas were amongst the first of the Primaris Chapters to be decanted, and were immediately assigned to the protection of the Piscina system after the Cicatrix Malediction triggered an Ork uprising there.

Unconventional by Astartes standards, the Alpha Barracudas tend towards playing the long game in their campaigns. They make use of guerrilla strikes and assassinations to weaken their enemy, and only once they feel they are sufficiently weakened will they conduct full on raids to crush their foes. These tactics have led to dark rumours that their geneseed is based on that of the Alpha Legion as part of Cawl's experimentation, but no definitive proof has surfaced.

If you want to paint your own Alpha Barracudas, follow the below guide! (note that some of these are OOP and you'll need to find equivalents!)

Undercoat: Army Painter Plate Metal Spray.
Armour: Highlight with GW Runefang Steel. Apply GW Turquoise Glaze to the recesses and any ribbed cabling like the joints, then re-highlight the edges with Runefang Steel. This is also used for the Bolt Rifle's Magazine.
Bolt Rifle: Highlight metal areas with Runefang Steel. The Casing is painted in P3 Greatcoat Grey, then the whole gun washed in GW Glossy Nuln Oil.
Blue: P3 Cygnar Blue Highlight, washed with GW Drakenhof Nightshade and re-highlighted with Cygnar Blue Highlight.
Shoulder Rims: As a member of the 4th company this guy uses GW Emerald Green rims.
Gold: GW Retributor Armour, followed by a GW Seraphim Sepia wash, then highlighted with GW Auric Armour Gold.
Bone: P3 Menoth White Base. GW Agrax Earthshade Wash, highlighted with Menoth White Base.
Skin: P3 Gun Corps Brown, GW Agrax Earhshade Wash, highlighted with Gun Corps Brown.
Yellow: GW Iyanden Darksun, highlighted with P3 Cygnar Yellow.
Base Top/ Laurels: GW Goblin Green, washed with GW Biel Tan Green, highlighted with GW Goblin Green

Filthy peasants with bows

Giant Ice Toads (and one Fire Toad) with scale pic, these guys are big!

A mighty silver dragon! Complete with filthy peasant to show scale again, and the neat slot in the back which allows any 20mm square base to fit in for a choice of rider.

Claiming the following:
Jurnal for the dragon's glowy mouth
Take one for the team for the peasants
Stay awhile and listen plus A recipe for success for the Marine

Also! At long last I've gotten around to working on the Galleries!

May's one is up - http://imgur.com/a/9Rgjp - go check if I've missed anything. As a reminder, only pics with your name are allowed. DiHK - your pics are on Photobucket and couldn't be pulled, if you want them in the Gallery you'll need to re-host with a non-lovely provider and update your May post.

I'll continue working on the galleries and assuming everything's OK I'll get em sent to our celebrity Judges for rating by the end of the month!

EDIT: June and July are now up too!
