Last year we had the once-a-month Infinity prize, for people who painted a Corvus Belli miniature. Do we have something like that this season?

To clarify, I'm mostly just wondering if there are any prize drawings that are dependent on the actual model oathed that month.

I've had a lot of fun with them, and really like the French aesthetic.

Obviously I'm claiming Season 5iver, but I don't know if my first image counts for Strike a Pose or not.

That is an awesome water effect - also where did you get the tall grass?

Thanks man, it's my first time really messing with the stylable stuff. The tall grass I just got at a railroad hobby shop a long time back, comes in about 2" lengths or so. Best advice I got for using it is to take several failaments, twist them together in the middle, and apply super glue at that point. After it dries, you cut it in half on the super glue mark, and trim both tufts to fit.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but how do you mount your units like that for spraying?

Like Pierzak said, I drilled in a little pin on the bottom. I've thought about doing what he suggests with the tab, but my Infinity models end up on clear bases afterwards.

(speaking of which, I'm still good to get the basing points if I do extra bases that aren't attached to them, right?)

EDIT:
Also Krushgroove, you got my pictures with my name on them, but I didn't get the point for having my username on the spreadsheet. :ohdear:

I'm chopping out the ankle bits, which should bring the Convict Gunslinger proxy down to a normal human size. Angelica gets to stay huge, though. Just noticed that you can't see the post-conversion image in my oath picture, but you should be able to see after the conversion that she's not the same height. Oath Complete will have a better view I'm sure.

2nd Place (2 points) � Signal. I started here being heartily impressed with the Infinity figs. Good, solid color schemes. All of those fine lines on that Infinity armour can be easy to mistakenly fill in and over-paint, so that fact that you�ve kept stuff clear here is noteworthy. Of course, you may have micron-penned it after painting, but it doesn�t matter. The effect is the same, and I�ve seen enough sloppy pen-jobs to know that it�s not easy. The backpack on Tarik does a particularly nice job of showing off your technique. The blue really pops, and the color is great (though watch out for the occasional but of fuzzy primer!). You had my attention until I saw the Owlbear. With the wild yellow eyes. And the fez. And the freehand Shriner�s logo. Hells yes. That�s when you got my points. Great showing this month! (Also, that's a really clean freehand logo!)
