Oath Complete!



Detektuv’s Jurnal:



Did some carving out on the center dude's eye to compliment the chink in the helmet, but then slathered blood all over it, obscuring it further. Also blood and some chipped armor on their shoulders and such. Also I guess the 5 Nobz, and 5 Marines qualify as a Themed Group?

:siren: I, Mmtheblue, Oath to paint Five Games Workshop Space Marines, one Ork Nob, and some assorted bits (Grenade Launcher and two pistols) for the month of July. :siren:



For the Detektuv’s Jurnal I cut off a Bolter and replaced it with a Black Templars' Meltagun (also head/arm swaps, but those weren't cuts). Gotta have dem Chains o' Zeal! Also I don't know if the Grenade launcher counts, but it's going on an already painted Necromunda mini.



Unfortunately, I did this before the Jurnal was announced, but here's picture of the bit before, and the removed bolter bit.

Detektuv’s Jurnal: the weathering on the Chimera, and the heat damage the guns.

No basing on the Land Speeder, but I think that's allowed since it's a clear base. I think that's everything.

So, there were a ton of models that had a ton of great weathering. I choose yours because, seriously, who else would weather the bottom of a tank? Just you buddy.

Provisionally, I'm removing Fly your Flag from Namenlos and Mmtheblue; however, either of you can post at any time, including after the oath deadline, if you want me to give you Fly your Flag (and not have your banner considered by the judges for their "best theme" category of judging).

Oh well, I guess I'll go for the Jurnal and not get the Fly your Flag bonus. 'Cause drat Namenlos, that's gorgeous.

So that's a Themed Group.

Jurnal:



Rats have soft pink bellies, right? I think I need a better pink paint.

Backstory:

The Haoles were preparing for a fight, the Avatars of the Cog were approaching in full force, and they would need all hands to just fend them off. Their Ratskin Scout pauses to rub the cogs given to him by the Dapakkani elders, to honor the Hive Spirits, and hope that he returns safely. Then he pulls on his giant rat hide for camouflage, grabs his axe, and climbs up into the vents to try and flank the approaching gang…



As a side note, it doesn't work, he ends up getting shot with an arm wound.

And since I did the Jurnal and Backstory, I think that qualifies for Double the Fun?

In Battle: I was late, so I didn't get the nice table, but I did get to fight a painted gang, so there's that.

Jurnals are Weathering for the on the Space Marine's Plasma Gun, and mud around the Guardsmens boots; and OSL on the Space Marine's Plasma gun (the terrible drybrushing on the top of the gun) and face (has a slight blueish tint). Also I tried painting eyebrows on the Guard Sergeant, and now I know why don't do it.

Strike a Pose!



“Are you sure the Xeno is this my, mi’lord?” Sergeant Finkle nervously inquired, “The auspex shows no signs of—”

“The beast is here.” The Inquisitor boomed down from his Dreadnought chassis, “Have your plasma gunners take point. Full power. Once the beast is awakened, we have only a short while to subdue it.”

Finkle swallowed and signaled the squad to get into positions, and nodded to the Inquisitor.

The Inquisitor’s vox casters boomed, and the guardsmen flinched at the sudden sound, but remained ready.

Then, the Xeno rose from the ruins.
