Man the format has changed drastically since that first year of oaths  Am I right in saying that there's no longer any requirement for picking your oath from a set category, I.e. this month is fast attack for 40k etc.. So I can just oath anything?

MasterSlowPoke posted:If they want people to post oath completes on Sundays, then the brushes should be given out on Mondays to people who have completed oaths that month. Gives a benefit to finishing early. ..but on the flip side, punishes those with real world distractions such as jobs, kids, wives  just playing devils advocate

Got to say, loving this oath thread again already.. I've spent 4 evenings painting this week which is more than I've managed to squeeze into one week in years, I totally expected to have to cram time in post-holiday (away all of next week) to get my dire troll finished but totally surprised myself by having him complete this early.. and now I'm eyeballing more models to get painted up for next month, decisions decisions.. ! come on June.. hurry up, I want to make another oath

Welp, I'm pretty set on what my June oath will be.. seems the fates have decided that the first paint job I did on a hordes troll impaler wasn't good enough. I've had to patch chipped paint off of it no less than 3 times (and it's still not finished).. then last night, managed to drop the little poo poo on the garage floor, exploderising him into several pieces... ...and chipping the paint. again. Pass me the paint stripper

Silly rules question, is it ok to be converting / building stuff prior to declaring your oath? i.e. I want to spend a bunch of time building a completely awesome base for a model before the next oath period starts. I'm pretty sure this is covered in the rules somewhere but I'm being thick and can't see it

Achmed Jones posted:That's what I thought, too, until another oather's satisfaction of DtF prompted me to check the rules again: "Do TWO Detectuv’s Jurnal/bonuses on one model." As far as I can tell, that means two Jurnals or two bonuses.  Sorry!  Can I be bothered to go edit that back in to my oath complete post, or should I just do it next month? ehhh... I'll do it later

Wili posted:What about the clear bases used for flying vehicles and the like? Flying vehicles come with a clear base, you'll receive the basing point because your model is based on the base it comes on if you do absolutely nothing but attach it to its clear base. That's my understanding.. but why anyone would leave flying bases 'as is' is beyond me, they really benefit from a bit of attention. Anyways, getting closer and closer to deadline.. how many outstanding oaths have we got out there? Come on people

Ashcans posted:I have no idea what to paint this month. I was toying with some Eldar but I don't want to apply battle damage to my pretty elves. I'll have to examine my backlog for inspiration. Even space elves can do battle damage and make it look not scruffy  when Fix ran the first oath thread, the very first months 'theme' was something like battle damage, or something very similar to it.. I did a unit of dire avengers and did the exarch like this: The backstory being he'd lost an eye to an ork or something and had taken steps to reflect that on his helmet, something of a personalisation of his armour or something v vSo it doesn't strictly speaking need to be traditional battle damage, just think outside the box Oath pledge coming up.. just as soon as I format this picture..

Starting small, with every intention of adding to this months oath as I have a few things in the pipeline to work on (but with the vagaries of real life and having two kids, I totally expect this plan to get knocked sideways) These, like last months oath, have been languishing on my desk for an age waiting for the inspiration to hit. I, enri, hereby oath to paint one pair of UCM Falcon Gunships for Dropzone Commander, scale is 10mm and the manufacturer is Hawk Wargames

Leperflesh posted:Are uh... are you sure? They look like space ships to me, far smaller than 10mm scale. Maybe they're 10mm long? Yep, drop zone Commander is a 10mm scale game, here's the models on hawk wargames website for reference: http://www.hawkwargames.com/products/falcon-gunships ..and to give you an idea of the size of them, those bases are 30mm square

Sole.Sushi posted:1 Point: Enri! This has made my morning, thank you and yes, it's not just the photo, there is a bit of a sheen to the paint on there that I'm not massively happy with, thanks in part to some of the older paints I was using. I think a quick going over with a matte varnish would do the trick but I don't have any to hand (and am eternally petrified of getting that frosted look on a model I've slaved hours over )I never managed to get judged higher than a special mention from PaintVagrant before now, so this has got me feeling really energised to keep pluggin away at my painting and try to up my game as much as possible! (very apt given a recent decision to curtail my gaming and focus on painting and modelling!)

krushgroove posted:Get Based Out Hypothetical question time.. sorry If I made a 'get based out' entry early on and succesfully completed it, would I be able to supercede that first entry with a newer (and potentially better) 'get based out' entry at a later date?Secondly, is making the base part of the oath? or is it just applicable to the painting of the base? I only ask because I've begun building a base that could potentially be a 'get based out' entry but haven't oathed the construction of it, I was just planning on doing that for the part when it's ready to receive some paint (I have been taking WIP photos though to show off later on)

OATH COMPLETE! one pair of UCM Falcon Gunships for Dropzone Commander and three epic scale carnifexes  The Detektuv’s Jurnal:Comparison of before painting / after painting pics here so the 'damage' is more obvious.. Mr Carnifex here is sporting a few lovely wounds, with gribbly pink bits dribbling out of a squishy fleshy bit of his back  One-time bonusSpeed painting! Wanted to get this one out of the way whilst I knew I had time to squeeze these guys out.. If you look closely in the 'done' photo, you can still see wet paint on the bases Before:  After:  ninja edit: if I'm missing a basing point due to the flying stands, let me know and I'll do *something* for them

Leperflesh posted:Good job! Please edit everything from your first Oath Complete post into this one. I only have room in my spreadsheet to track one oath complete post per goon per month, so I need your entire oath complete stuff all in one place please. This kinda half answers a question I've been meaning to ask, I presume it's ok to add to your oath after you've posted your original completed oath? or is that a massive ball ache for you to track? I'm still debating whether or not to oath just the base I've made for the base prize thingy, if I don't then I need to make a new base in later months. Maybe I'll consider this one a test one and not bother oathing it v v

Ok judges, stupid question time, I did ask about this before but got hella busy and didn't do anything about it at the time and I'm not sure I remember the answer  For the 'get based out!' competition, I've already made a base in June but it's completely paint free (but I don't have a timestamped photo of it being built) - Did I need to oath the construction of the base? i.e. do I need a timestamp pic with the components and whatnot that I'm using? or am I able to just oath it either as.. a.) an oath in its own right (i.e. 'I oath to paint this base!') OR b.) part of a model ..and still enter it for the 'get based out' competition?
