Oath Complete! Apologies for terrible pic; really low-energy month for a multitude of reasons, and couldn't work up much enthusiasm. Happy with the colour scheme though, and won't be too much of an arse to take forwards.

Oath complete!  Claiming this month's Every Step You Take challenge, here are some WIP shots: For my WW2 guys, I'm painting enough of them that I want to make it go quickly. As such, it's base-coat, oil-wash, details, done. This is with the base-coat complete and all the main colors blocked in:  Rear view:  This is after the oil wash. This was the first time I'd used black MinWax, and boy-howdy is it opaque! I needed to thin it quite a bit with mineral spirits to make a decent wash out of it. Note how shiny he is! The flesh tones and gun-stock were shaded with GW Seraphim Sepia:  A quick shot of Dull-Cote after the wash is dry helps me determine if things are working out OK. At this point, it's just details to finish:  This guy was the color-test mini for my Italian platoon. I think he came out way too dark. Even before the wash, he was pretty dark. I had to bump up the brightness in my final photos to show any detail at all. The main problem is that the Italian uniform is this weird bluish-grey-green color that I have yet to find a good base for in any paint line. I'm not excited about mixing such a color (especially given that the platoon is 40 dudes and I don't want to do that many in one go), but I guess I'll do it if I can't find something else that works.

Duct Tape posted:I, Duct Tape, oath for December an Armiger Helverin, 5 Sicarian Infiltrators, and 8 supply crates. Oath Complete! And just in the nick of time. I lost the first week to MAGFest, and the second week to setting up and learning how to use my new airbrush. So these feel rushed to me, but I still like how they turned out.       Claiming Every Step you Take, and here's an album of 22 in-progress shots. But I'll include a short little journey of me trying out my airbrush here. I got some great red and black lines on the Armiger.  Then thought it might be interesting to do alternating yellow and black bands...  nope nope nope nope nope

 January judgement!Third place, 1 point: KingMob  Really good cloth, and I like the variation in skin colors. Some very nice minis overall. Second place, 2 points: UgleB  This is a good looking Batman. The cape is great, and the colors are well chosen. First place, 3 points: Duct Tape  Still crushing it. The stripes are crazy good. Bonus, 1 point: Duct Tape  20+ WIP photos takes the point!

 January Judgements! Third Place, 1 point: KingMob  Wonderful variety in these figures, with terrific contrasts and really eye-catching colors setting each apart as a distinctive, dynamic individual. Second Place, 2 points: Duct Tape  Excellent mechanical dudes, with your signature muted-yet-striking color scheme. But what really set this apart in my view was your WIP photos, which among other things showcased how to redo a decision you don't like. A really nice glimpse into your process. First Place, 3 points: Ugleb  This is an incredible variety (and quantity!) of pieces, with a delightful grittiness to the whole set. And that Action Batman is a hell of a centerpiece, with its high contrast and hyper-real color palette making him look like he just leapt out of the pages of Detective Comics. Bonus Point: Ashcans i cannot believe i forgot to put your name here, sorry  Your robuts are adorable, scrappy, rusty dudes with a ton of character. Your WIP photos were also a really nice illustration of your method. Dr. Gargunza fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Feb 19, 2019 |

January Judgement Third place for one point, Zark the Damned  I'm not going to pretend I'm not at least a little partial to the old Last Chancers models, and this is a lovely treatment of them. Everyone looks at least a little unique, while still unified by their equipment and convict pants. Second place for two points, Lazy Angel  A different and interesting take on ALEPH units. The Asura is a particular favorite. I think I would have liked to see a little more meticulous detail work on the other models, since they're all gribbly enough to merit that kind of attention. First place for three points, Ugleb That Batman's a crowd pleaser, what can I say? It's also quite well done, on top of completing quite a lot of other pieces all during the same month. In particular, I really liked how much you pushed the shading on the back of the cape. Bonus point: Duct Tape  Mmm, stripey.

Thanks judges  Duct Tape posted:I, Duct Tape, oath for February one Darkoath Chieftain and one Tech-Priest Enginseer. Both by Games Workshop, both 32mm bases. Oath Complete! The Darkoath Chieftain turned out better than I could have hoped, and it was a lot of fun to try out a style of model that I've never painted before. Also, Games Workshop reached out to me on Instagram and asked if they could use the top picture for their galleries. So hopefully it'll show up here soon https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/darkoath-chieftain. Having a picture of my model on GW's site is the ultimate nerd validation.

Oath Complete! Lets start with the worst - Imperial Assault models are really tough for me to paint well, and Dengar has a dull Colour scheme.  Then we hit the Wookies.I'm really happy with how these guys came out.  The Emperor and his Guard.  Some Cargo crates - quick terrain paint jobs.  Finally, my Sarlac. He's 3D printed and I love him like a son.
