I have a quick question, for the Speed Painting bonus does that have to be for the entire oath, or can you do the speed painting bonus for one model in the oath? For instance if I am painting several models so as to meed the squad requirements can I choose one of those models and do the speed painting bonus for it?

Oops. I guess I suck at reading. Definitely going to do that one though as I generally like to do most of a model in one sitting if I can.

Don't let that stop you. I have a lord riding a half painted horse and 6 High Elf Swordmasters that just need a couple things done. I actually am planning to do that stuff on top of my oath...

I, Pash, have completed Speed Painting!




Also what is with weather in the Midwest recently. Like half my state got a ton of snow in May...

I might as well include Part's List:
1 Foundry Men at Arms
1 Gale Force 9 magnetic base
Base was does with medium and small grit and small grass patches from the Gale Force 9 "Summer Pasture" Basing Kit
Citadel Static Grass
Citadel Paints: Waaagh! Flesh, Kislev Flesh, Caledor Sky, Runefang Steel, Hashut Copper, Leadbelcher, Ceramite White, Mournfang Brown, Skrag Brown, Mephiston Red, Abaddon Black, Macagge Blue, 'ardcoat,
I also used a X-acto knife and the Citadel clippers
I used Floquil Silver Fox/Renard Argente Brushs

Since these were both done on the same model this means: Double the Fun!

Unless someone tells me otherwise I will post these against when I complete the rest of my Oath.

Also can I make a alternate universe oath before I have finished the rest of my oath? Just got this High Elf Loremaster who wants me to paint him...

WIP

Spent some time making a cool base for one of my guys. I am thinking next month that I will oath a Pegasus Knight, make a big cool rock base like this and have him flying over it. Should be fun.



Then I put one of my knights up on the rock. I think it turned out really well.



Getting close to finishing my infantry. All their shields still need to be done though (even the one on the guys back in the picture) as they have a hole in the center that does not like to line up well with the slots available for them. This basically results in me needing to use green stuff to fill in the hole and try to make the shield look flat...

Oath Complete!




I would like this to be entered as a Themed Group

Original:


Detektuv's Jurnal: Suiting Up

I took a lot of pictures and figured I would post a lot of them:


Started just getting the metal basecoated

Then moved on to base coating the rest of the models

Here is one of my bases before I attached a guy to it

I changed one of the guys shirts color after deciding he needed a little more variety in his model's paint scheme.

Did some washes and highlighting and finished up a second model to go with the guy I speed painted.

Here are the rest of the infantry models with shading done.


The shields have holes in them and attach on metal bits, but leave little gaps, so i put in some green stuff to fill them, and then sanded it down.

Resulting in nice smooth shields. The last step was then to freehand the stripes onto the shields.

Here is a picture of the horse for my knight with the base coat on.


The Knight then comes together.

In the original oath image you may notice all the infantry guys have bases. I kept this for the guy I speed painted, but didn't really like it so i ended up cutting the bases off of the other ones. I also messed with the knight of the realm a little bit as I really don't like the look of the grass things they have connected to each foot of the horse. I ended up cutting all of those off and just super gluing on foot to the base and another foot to a "rock" I made out of some cork board. Overall I really like how it turned out.

Bonus Points:

Backstory



Having traveled to the Boarder Kingdoms to slay Greenskins, Sir Laudunet of Carcassonne found that he was spending far too much time waiting for something to happen. Each castle he came too had been experiencing a lull in attacks, with rumors of Greenskin movement nearby. And yet no matter how long he waited Sir Laudunet had yet to find himself a battle. If he waited at a castle for a month the Greenskins would attack half a week after he left. If he stayed in a castle for 3 months they would attack after three months and a day. Several times he had turned back toward a caste a day after leaving it, only to find the battle already fought and won by the time he returned. Amongst those that he traveled with he heard whispers of Sir Laudunet the Impacient amongst other jabs at his honor. Each day he prayed to find battle, and each day he missed another close at hand opportunity.

Strike A Pose



Sir Erec raised his sword in the air and gave a hell to alert his men. Seemingly out of nowhere a large group of Elves were approaching the tower. Seeing as they had not heard from their scouts for several days Sir Erec assumed the worst. While he only had a few men the tower would be provide cover from the archers taking up positions on the hills, and he could stop more than a few of the approaching Sword Masters from being able to fight at a time. Sir Erec's real fear was the lone wizard that appeared to be leading the opposing army. He sent a prayer to the lady and prepared for the battle he was sure would be his last.

I also plan to do the In Battle Bonus as soon as I get a game in.

Detektuv Jurnal question. Does it count if I change the head on a model even if I don't need to cut the head off (separate bit) but do need to cut a bit of plastic off to make the new head fit? I did this for a GW Bretonnian Grail Reliquae I made a couple months ago and it took a bit of cutting and some green stuff, and I could do it again for a commander of some Men at Arms if I wanted too. Otherwise I would probably just try to change the pose of an arm or a leg on a Tau Crisis Suit...

Sorry - saw this a while ago but didn't get around to answering it. Anyway, yes - the base is part of the model, so if you're adding mud effects (whatever those may be) to the base, you're good.

Oath Completed!

One completed Tau Crisis suit with two extra weapons. everything is magnetized so i can switch the gear, which can be seen in the last 2 images. I disliked the shield pod, and being that I was playing tau, aka anime robots, I thought I might as well reference some of my favorite giant anime robots. To do this I replaced the tau shield module with a Bretonnian Men at arms shield. The rectangular shape was more Gundum esq, which I furthered by putting an 08 on the shield because 8th MS Team was awesome. Finally because I did not feel like that was enough for the freehand thing I added the Zone of the Enders symbol to the bottom of the shield.

Kinda an oath addition, not really.

As part of my oath I was creating a pile of junk to be a unit filler/objective marker. In making that I found and decided to use this bit, here is a picture showing its not painted yet.
