Electric Hobo: Oct 22, 2008; What a view!; Grimey Drawer

May judgement! :kingsley:

Third place, 1 point: with a rebel yell she QQd

A good limited, almost monochromatic, palette on these guys. The colors are bleak but distinct. Very nice.

Second place, 2 points: Yeast

A good rat, good highlights and good cloth. A really good piece.

First place, 3 points: Red Shoe

The green metal and very dark recesses gives it an almost cartoonish and strange look that I really like.

Bonus, 1 point: Dr. Gargunza

This fat jumpjet guy makes me laugh.

:burger:

June judgement! :burger:

Third place, 1 point: Zuul the Cat

Nice red and yellow. The turquoise on the hammer gives a nice focal point other than the banner.

Second place, 2 points: Booley

Good red, good yellow and good black. I love these guys.

First place, 3 points: Signal

This is a crisp as gently caress paintjob. Really nice blending on the sword, and great highlights all around.

Bonus, 1 point: with a rebel yell she QQd

You designed and painted this and that's worth a bonus point in my book.

:siren:

July judgement! :siren:

Third place, 1 point: The Moon Monster

The rainbow colored light effect is really nice.

Second place, 2 points: Red Shoe

Nice cloth, I especially like the white cape. It's a nice desaturated colorscheme that fits well into the game.

First place, 3 points: Dr. Gargunza

You've got some nice giants here. Very clean, and the colored metals and blue-greens brings some very nice and subtle color contrast to the figures.

Bonus, 1 point: Booley

The shininess is off the charts!

Thanks for the love! I haven't oathed anything in months despite painting up a ton of stuff. I'll oath some stuff tonight or tomorrow to get back into the swing of things.

For September I, Galaspar, oath two Orlock Juves, a Leader and a Heavy (GW Necromunda 28mm)

The juves have sat in my bitz box for a good twenty years, the heavy was part of an awesome TG Secret Santa haul, and the leader is a kitbash for the monthly challenge.

Hi everybody! New judge introducing myself with May Judgements!

Third place: Dr Gargunza

Love this fat Yuan Yuan.

Second place: Red Shoe

Great color palette on all your pieces.

First place: Yeast

Dr. Gargunza: May 19, 2011; He damned me for a eunuch,
and my mother for a whore.; Fun Shoe

(Thanks for the votes, judges! You guys are the best!

)

Okay, so it's After Conversion Pics time:

To the Wight King, I've added: the Bones staff in place of his sword; a GW Empire Flagellant book (with greenstuff press-mold skull); Halbarand's left arm to hold the book; just, like, a ton of thinned liquid greenstuff to hide glue marks/gaps/errors and add a softer texture to some surfaces.
To Ingrid, I've made these changes: removed her sword and scabbard; added Halbarand's hammer; added a greenstuff layer of chainmail and cloth to her rear skirt where the scabbard used to be.
(Halbarand is included in these shots to show how much I chopped off of him to add to the models I'm actually working on. His sacrifice will be noted.)

For comparison, here are the Before pics.

Dr. Gargunza posted:

I, Dr. Gargunza, oath for September to assemble and paint a couple of Frankenstein's-monster-style amalgams of the following: (1) Wight King; (1) Halbarad, Cleric; (1) Ingrid; (1) staff with some kind of wing-headed skull device!

All 28mm heroic scale. The Wight King is GW, the priest and viking are Reaper Bones, and the staff is from Reaper's Bones 3 plastic weapons pack.
I've obviously already been doing some work on conversion, but here's the staff on sprue:

There's a chance I might want to add a book from GW's Empire Flagellants kit to the Wight King, so here's a picture featuring that:

And since I've removed the sword and shield from the Wight King, here's me showing my work:

This is what the Wight King looks like unaltered:

"After" pics coming as soon as I finish assembly (and repair the staff, which I managed to snap off not five minutes after taking my oath pic, rassum frassum....)

Zark the Damned: Mar 9, 2013

A couple of announcements!

Firstly, welcome to our third Judge, Signal, who has kindly stepped forward to give people bonus points.

Secondly, krushgroove has finally passed his roll to escape from being lost in time and space and is back on with processing the grab bags from S6 and S7. There will also be some bigger things in the offering for the grand prizes for those seasons, which include some springer pinsel brush packs and MDF stuff from TTCombat and Wargames Tournaments (still being sorted through) - some people may already have messages from him. Once those are sorted out we'll see if anything's left and possibly see about adding some kind of prize pool for S8.

Pash posted:

I, Pash, oath for the month of September: 1 converted Hunter (arm swap on a charger chasis) for warmachine from Privateer Press, and from steamforge games for the dark souls game 1 winged knight, 3 silver knight swordsmen, 2 large hollow soldiers, and 2 sentinels.

wdarkk posted:

I, wdarkk, Oath for the month of September one Hawk Wargames PHR battlecruiser (1:9150, resin, Dropfleet Commander).

As per previous discussion, I'm going to claim The Chop Shop because I drilled into it to magnetize the upper weapons bays.

(There's two more of those.)

Grey Hunter posted:

I Grey, Hunter, Oath 1 Basilisk Battle cruiser, 1 Hydra Carrier, 1 Chimera Troop ship, 1 Space station and 6 Gargoyles - all 1:9150 scale by Hawk Wargames.

Venin, Vitriol, Compound, Calculus, and Crucible, all from Steamforged Games' Guild Ball - Alchemists' Guild (30mm base)

I don't think I'm going to be doing any converting with these guys, because I fail at theme. Maybe something else if I get them done early enough.

OATH ADDITION
Adding in this, the Siege Animantarax for Privateer Press's Hordes. Affectionately known as the "Derp Turtle." I've replaced the head with a less derpy looking one, and repositioned two of the legs so it looks a bit more dynamic and less like a piece of furniture. I also have the forecastle and the tower in back set in with pins so they can be removed for easier storage.

Here's the factory default model. Super derpy. I have the dudes that are standing on the thing but haven't assembled them yet. Maybe they'll make it by the end of the month, maybe not. Who can say?
