I, Dr. Gargunza, oath to paint for April: (1) Orc Warlord and (1) Orc Wizard! Mantic Games, metal, 28mm, zenithal primed. I've done a slight conversion on the Warlord, since I intend to use him as a wizard/apprentice in Frostgrave. I've cut the axe head off his normal weapon, and replaced it with a part from the Empire Battle Wizards sprue by GW:   And after adding a little greenstuff, the Warlord now looks like this:  (Slimnoid, Red Shoe: Thanks for the compliments on the Orc Chirurgeon! That was my favorite model out of that batch, and despite breaking his saw blade off with my sausage-like fingers, it was a real joy to paint.)

Oath Complete Halberdiers painted up to match the statues from a previous month  Goliath gangers, for use as a second cultist squad alongside my Diggas from last season  Mantic Bard. I need to get some different backgrounds for my lightbox as this guy was hard to photograph.  Treasure chests, more treasure markers for Frostgrave as people keep forgetting their own and borrowing mine. Also claiming Jurnal as there's coins in them there chests!  All for One! - everything from this season, plus a few other things painted but not oathed in the same time period. Overall fewer models painted than last year but a greater variety of things (also last season I wasn't moving house in the middle of it!). --- EDIT: As a quick reminder, it's the final month so please check that your info is correct in the spreadsheet! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gyczYXjiTMPxtFrjYiqm1qJIQmj5hjevoWPDwos354w/edit#gid=7 Zark the Damned fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Apr 21, 2016 |

Hey, quick question: I've given away two of this year's oaths as gifts. Does that make me ineligible for the All-in-One group photo, or can I substitute oath-complete pics for those items in the roundup?

Oath Complete Despite recent events, the colour wasn't intended as a Prince tribute. Claiming the jurnal point because well... 4LOM is a bounty hunter, and this is his ship. Alternatively, for the not-terribly-visible attempt at heat-staining on the engines. Will post All For One shortly - but do I need to put in the state of my failed oath, or just the completed ones?

Oath Complete Also, here's an All for One group shot. I started partway through the Oath-year, so there's only 4 months of stuff in it. "Previous Oaths' posted:http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3717315&userid=126536#post454945234 List posted:3 Marauders, 3 Hunters, 3 Reapers, 3 Invaders, 6 Infantry Bases (Hawk Wargames, 10mm)  There's a few models in this army that were painted but were never Oathed, since my primary concern at the time was getting them painted so I could glue on their flight pegs. Here's the full army including those models:  All told, and counting the infantry bases as one model each, I painted thirty-one oathed models, and an additional fourteen un-oathed ones. wdarkk fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Apr 28, 2016 |

Oath complete! Here's my Palmyran army for DBA:  This was a fun army to paint, and I'm quite tempted to expand this army to let me play the later Palmyrans. This is the early list, while Palmyra was still a Roman province. I'd need a couple more stands of Cataphracts (the tank horses) to field the later Palmyrans, but it would give me a chance to have Queen Zenobia on her camel as a general which would be kinda cool, since women in command are pretty rare.

Oath Complete!   Keeper of Secrets  fiend   seeker  daemonette For the JURNAL, experimented with (and learned) a lot of new stuff! 1. I lifted a trick from the digital art world, and first painted everything in B&W grayscale to establish values. Then I applied colors in the form of glazes, inks, and washes. 2. I finally got around to trying two-brush blending. It worked better in some places than others, but it's definitely an easy way to get a nice gradient. It's like a practical version of the 'smudge' tool. One thing that surprised me was it works for both highlights and shading - that's not always made clear in tutorials. 3. Pine bark is superior in every way to shale or slate rock. You can pin through it, it takes paint and glue better, and won't unbalance the figure's weight causing weird falling disasters. 4. Photography in natural lighting brings out the colors a million times betterthan artificial lighting. I shot these in the indirect sunlight, removed the color cast in photoshop, and finally feel like I've got photos that look as good as the in-person figures.

 Oath Complete! Claiming Jurnal for the month for the treasure chests. And as for All for One;   Two pics, because I packed half of them away, then remembered the PHR infantry. Overall, this year I painted 92 models (including seperate bases) Dropzone Commander: 18 Infantry bases, 17 vehicles, 1 mech, 9 dropships Wrath of Kings: 5 models, 1 additional base Guild Ball: 3 models, 1 ball Kings of War: 1 Dwarf Lord on Bear, 8 bases Super Dungeon Explore: 3 heroes, 6 pets, 10 chests, 5 Boo Bootys. Full Thrust: 1 ship Infinity: 1 model Plus managed a load more (un-oathed) Infinity, and even more Dropzone Commander. All told, much more than last year. Oath posts by month; May June July August September November December January February March April

OATH COMPLETE Like LazyAngel's (much better) oath above, my Challenge is the implied riches contained inside the chests. And maybe in the barrels too. If Elder Scrolls games have taught me one thing, it's that people store the weirdest things in barrels. Got a few spare coins, might as well toss them in this gigantic barrel over in the corner~ JerryLee fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Apr 24, 2016 |

Does that make me ineligible for the All-in-One group photo, or can I substitute oath-complete pics for those items in the roundup? OK, so the NEXT OATH THREAD is going up at the end of this month (OMG that's so soon), unless there are major objections I'm not planning to change the points or rules. I'll post the link here and in a few of the game threads, I will encourage all of you to share the Oath Thread with other threads that you take part in that I may miss out, talk it up, get excited, share how many models you got painted, etc. I haven't figured out how to do a referral system yet but basically the more the merrier, you guys know that! As we'll have a new Oath Thread (Season SEVEN! wow how time flies) I'll discuss new/returning sponsors in the new thread, ANY discussion about prizes, judgements, points, etc., will need to stay in this thread so we're not flipping back and forth between different threads please. I'll also be very gently poking the judges so we can get caught up. THEMES for next year will stay mostly unchanged, I don't recall any major failures or themes that got ignored but if there was some failing there please come forward. I think the pre-listing of the themes worked out pretty good, it let everyone plan ahead, there were some wonky ones that we just didn't have a good idea for (like...February?) but they can't all be winners! I'll try to think of a couple of different ones and welcome new monthly theme ideas, I'll post a list soon for perusal and comment. For the 'paint a KR Case' contest, I am in contact with KR presently to get all the participants of that contest (last JUNE, holy poo poo) their prizes, I am however in need of shipping addresses for two goons: moths and liljonas If I see you guys post in other threads (I know I see moths in the GW Death Thread I think and liljonas pretty much lives in the historicals thread) I'll give you a poke. If I don't, please drop me a line: krushgroove169 at gmail.com IF YOU ARE AWAITING A PRIZE please drop me a line: krushgroove169 at gmail.com to confirm I have your prize info, name and postage address. I have been in touch with a goon or two in the past couple of weeks for stuff, if you haven't been in touch I've probably forgotten or misplaced your info so PLEASE GET IN TOUCH. Also I realize there are many month's worth of prizes that need to be drawn, I will be doing that this week, I forgot Zark isn't doing the prize draws. Finally, I'm going to stop being shy just for one time every year and say that YES any donations to help out with postage will be gratefully accepted by Paypal. I'm posting out many pounds/kilos of MDF terrain, paint and other goodies and yeah it does cost a pretty penny when going to the post office with an IKEA bag full of stuff. So any help would be gratefully received. My Paypal address is frank.mckinney at gmail.com Whew. OK. Any other things to cover?

Am I allowed to combine these challenges (ie the oldest model in my collection that is also a monster). No, there will be various contests that are goon-sponsored and goon-supplied, this is separate to the Oathing. Most contests will rely on completing an Oath but the specifics are up to the individual goon who is running their contest. Speaking of which, if anyone wants to run their own contests please let me know (again, email me at krushgroove169@gmail.com because searching through PMs is impossible!) so we don't have 2 or more contests going in the same month.
