I'm wondering the same thing. A lot of my Oaths last year ended up being commission work, and I don't think that's going to change any this time around. Getting them all together would be nigh-on impossible for me.

Word.

Welp, left for the weekend to see my bitch Mom for Mother's Day. Dog tried to kill my cat, wrecked my painting table, broke my new airbrush, shattered my 90% painted oath model, can't find his arm now, then succeeded in killing the cat. Sooo... At least I have enough time to order another one to finish the oath this month? How's everyone elses' May treating them?

I am in so much oath trouble right now it's unbelievable. I just poured the mold for the bases I made, let alone cast or painted them.

However, some really cool posts already that have increased my motivation!

You can do it lovestick! As a fellow oath-failer I believe in you! I got right with the Lord and said "Never Again!"

Those are some of the first Loup Garou I have seen that I like. The poncho and big flat face shield normally put me off but those look good.

But that Dozer totally looks like he's waiting for a bus. (The non-dynamic pose doesn't help dispell this).

Woah thanks! That means a lot to me coming from you, I've always loved seeing your Necrons!

I'm so loving pissed off at this thing, it took me SO loving long to paint and I took like 100 photographs of it, built a new lighbox, have since smashed it to pieces, and I'm still not happy with how this looks. I took a ton of picures with my camera but they all came out fuzzy so these were done with my tablet. gently caress HOW DO YOU TAKE PICTURES OF THESE THINGS I HATE YOU BOOLEY

Brock Samsonite, Oathing one Shrouded from Corvus Belli's Infinity range.

Primed one next to him is a stock one, I cut/swapped the gun and changed his head out for one from a Malignos.

The gang

The Speculo killer got a tattoo to blend in better with the human society she's infiltrating (For the Jurnal). Also you can see how poorly my airbrush atomizes paint in this shot! I'd really like a better one..

I also am claiming Parts List with this fella:

Ooh! Looks like I'm pulling from Iris's grab bag. I don't have a platinum account, so... I guess I'll post what I want here? I'd like to claim the Bones Cthulhu as the "big" prize, and those Kara Black figures as the "small" prize.

Also: Yes, I did receive my Minitaire starter set! They're very nice.

How shall I get you my shipping address?

Thanks for everything!

I find the Minitaire starter set to be really delightful. I got it about 7 months ago and it's really given me a good reference on the consistency to thin my other paints to to shoot them through my airbrush(es). I really recommend them if you're looking for some starter airbrush paints or just some really nice, thin, glaze colors. Been playing around with their Ghost Tints too after seeing Tom Schadle's results with them, lots of fun even if I can't find a use for all the colors in the range yet.

Signal posted:

Signal's stuff

I'm always amazed by your stuff Signal. How do you attach your infinity models to the acrylic disc bases? I would think CA glue alone would be too brittle or fog it up.

Those planetfall tanks in NC colors look the absolute poo poo. I shudder to think their studio painters did not use that scheme. Really looks made for them.
