New season, new oaths. Probably won't get as much done as last season, since I'm supposed to be graduating within a year, but I'l try my best.

I, Lord Hypnostache, oath one Inquisitor, two Crusaders, one Librarian, one Honour Guard and three Tactical Marines. Everything 28mm by Games Workshop or kitbashed using GW bits.

Oath complete!

Inquisitor and the Crusaders


And the Space Marines


And here's some WIP pictures


Touch up on the basecoat, add black and boltgun metal.

Start working on details. The honour guard on the right has most of his details already washed and highlighted (I got carried away with the model)

This is after one or two layers of washes before edge highlighting.

And one picture of the crusaders. Didn't take more pictures since I didn't have a clear vision of a colour scheme for the inquisition dudes when I started painting them.

So, that's Season 5iver and Journal.

I, Lord Hypnostache, oath 10 Plague Zombies, a Daemon Prince and a Helbrute. All made from GW bits, except the Daemon Prince's base and bits in Helbrute's base by Secret Weapon Miniatures.

Here's my Helbrute (Hugbrute)


Here's the daemon prince


For journal, here's a close-up of his base before pinning


Here are the plague zombies

The zombies were painted using the following paints (in no particular order):
- Skeleton Bone Primer

- Warboss Green
- Dark Angels Green
- Warplock Bronze
- Boltgun Metal
- Longbeard Grey
- Graveyard Earth
- Astrogranite

I, Lord Hypnostache oath 4 Deathwatch Space Marines, 1 Space Marine Chaplain, 10 Zombies, 10 Ghouls and 1 Sanctum Imperialis



The ghouls and zombies will be used in 40k as plague zombies, that's why they have round bases and some 40k bits.

Okay folks, the entries should all be :siren: documented in the Spreadsheet for July! :siren: Check it over and make sure I haven't forgotten you for anything.

One undirected piece of feedback, as I don't recall who posted about it originally: I'm only giving credit for themed groups if all members of the group were painted within the same month. Hopefully that makes more sense!

You forgot to credit me for terrain, since I did paint a ruined house last month. Although I wasn't aware there was anything special going on regarding terrain, that's why I didn't mention it earlier.

The journal is the warboss' axe. It's pretty basic, but I'm pretty pleased with it. It was surprisingly easy to paint.


Also, claiming Fly your flag! Since I'm playing Relictors, whose whole gimmick is using Chaos against itself, I thought it would be suitable for my guys to waving Chaotic banner instead of an Imperial one.


Also also, I claim speedpaint for the Manufactorum. I got it finished within 24 hours of the initial oath, but forget to post the picture back then.

I'm feeling pumped for September's theme, now that we're through with the ones I find the hardest, OSL and NMM.

I, Lord Hypnostache, oath one Firebelly and three converted Crypt Horrors. Said Horrors will be used as Chaos Spawns in 40k. All bits 28mm GW.


I'll post a comparison picture when I've painted them, but starting from left: The first one has had its head swapped, no actual cutting was required. Second one has had its arms swapped, I had to file down its shoulders to fit the new arms. The third one has had its hands chopped and replaced with lightning claws, as well as having its neck cut down in size to fit a new head.

OATH FAILED, I've been crazy busy this month so it was to be expected. I know there's still several hours until deadline, but I'm on train right now and will be spending the next few days with limited internet access. I'll try to save the whales next month and will gladly accept an oath breaker avatar.

In that case I think I'll scour the unspiration thread for a new avatar. It's the first failure in the 18 or so months of oathing that I've done, I feel I need something to remind me of not doing it again.

Thanks, now I'll remember to keep painting. And I encourage other oathbreakers to get those avatars also.

The journal is darkened barrel of the meltagun and the grimy sides of the Predator, both which are a lot subtler in photo than in real life. I thought it would have turned out the other way around.

I'm curious about what I'm going to paint next month. Right now the temperature is somewhere around 4 degrees celcius, but on monday it was close to -20 degrees, which is not a temperature to get anything primed.

drat, almost half of the month is already gone and I haven't oathed anything. Well, January should be sort of quiet, so I'll have bunch of time to paint.

I, Lord Hypnostache, oath one Orc Standard Bearer, one Typhus, four Blightkings and one Maulerfiend. Three of the Blightkings have been converted with 40k bits to be used as Obliterators. Everything is 28mm GW except the bases are from Secret Weapon and the Maulerfiend's head is from Raging Heroes.

I like the inclusion of both technical and thematic journals. In the seasons that I've participated in, the journals where I've done weathering, or NMM have been the most educational, but the most fun I've had has been painting mustaches on tanks.

Some suggestions for the journals, some are way too specific. I'm not too fond of having to paint a specific color, there's a big chance that a specific color is not present in the schemes I've chosen for my armies, so I'd have to get a one-off model which would never see the gaming table and get some new paints. And I don't think I'm the only thread participant who owns a grand total of one shade of yellow paint. Also the school bus is way too specific. Oh, and maybe the TV show theme could just be the break the 4th wall journal? Alternatively, April and April's Fools should be 4th wall (with technical being NMM).
