I've definitely got a themed group coming for June so no worries there.

I'm going to go ahead and put in a plea to revert oath submission deadlines back to midnight in whatever time zone people are in. Evenings are generally the only time I get to do nerd hobby stuff, and I doubt I'm the only one in the same boat. 8:00 p.m. is pretty rough and essentially shorts me a day of hobby time. Just a thought. If anyone else agrees feel free to say so.

I agree in theory, though I don't really want to deal with extra Time Server photos. Maybe just push it back to 6am GMT or so, so it's after work hours for most of the goons?

Speaking of conversions, does this count?
Nemo + wire + pliers = Nemo with lightning

Also, one down, 4 to go!
Speed!

I'll post all of these again when I get everything done, I'm just happy to be painting something that takes a few hours instead of a few weeks

Yeah I'd say that counts - it's adding stuff to the model to customize it.

Thanks, that's why I wanted to check. I'll probably add some more lightning to other models for effort

Overall I like this chop job. It always looks better with paint, and thankfully my sloppy green stuffing isn't too apparent.

Also I'm still playing around with how to take really sharp photos. I tried putting a light from the direct front, and that's improved things a bit. I still feel like some things are out of focus or not lit just right. Or maybe I'm not getting the levels right in photoshop. I'll keep playing around for next month, and any tips are always helpful.

I Oath 1 Aurora warcaster for August
Privateer Press

Leperflesh- I liked what you did this last month (by accident?) where the equation for the totals was blank for the current month, that way the grand total is just the completed months' numbers. That way it's easier to see the overall leaderboard. Then when the month is in full swing you can add that equation back in and it's all good.

OATH COMPLETE
Aurora, Numen of Aerogenesis and a Skorne Titan Cannoneer
The lights on Aurora were the first time that OSL really clicked for me. I think they look pretty good, though it's hard to see in these photos. I then did the titan and tried OSL from the torch (on his hand), which came out pretty good too. Still working on photo quality, but getting better I think.

No problem. I don't have Tau models but here's the basic space marine small/med/large comparison. It's slightly taller than the Terminator there

I think the countdown timer is a great idea. I always remembered that my due date was the afternoon of the last day, but I could never do the math quite right with Daylight Savings etc, or just didn't trust myself.

I think that if you post the countdown at the start of every month, along with the theme etc, then people could know where to check the current countdown clock. Maybe link the current one in the OP every month too. That would eliminate the need for an automatic post at the 24 hour mark.

Also I don't have a problem with GMT, or any other standard time zone. I think the local time zone idea is interesting but would lead to a lot more needless confusion. Plus it's always really fun to see the last minute posts roll in, and know when they'll be there.
