Pyrolocutus posted:

Question before I decide on an oath:

I'm thinking of oathing nine Horgenhold Forgeguard from Warmachine. They look much like these dudes, minus the tanks/leather aprons, and wielding two-handed hammers instead of maces:

I would be painting them in much the same scheme. Would that qualify for the 25% yellow challenge this month?

Yes I'd give you that, with the yellow on the shoulder pads.

I, signalnoise, oath for the month of may, this Dropzone Commander PHR Starter Set

With a little luck I might just paint it

Electric Hobo posted:

Another season, another oath.

I, Electric Hobo, oath 5 sci-fi marines (10mm) from Pendraken and 1 Blackhawk Walker for Dust Tactics from FFG (28mm).

Grey Hunter posted:

Here we go again.....

I Grey Hunter, First of his name, King of the Grognardy LP's, Master of terribly painted forces and Warden of someplace you've probably never heard of hereby oath, for this month of May -
1 UCM Phoenix Command gunship.
3 UCM Condors
3 UCM Sabres
3 UCM Rapiers
2 UCM Archangels
1 Scourge Oppressor! [/b]

I was going to do something completely different, but Ugleb and I have a game on tomorrow, and the Archangles and the new commanders arrived today, so I got out the condors and tanks from the second starter box I got and decided to throw them in as well!

enri posted:

Ok, I'll bite...

I, enri, oath to paint...

1 x TIE fighter, manufacturer is Fantasy Flight Games, 1/270 scale

All primed and ready to go, if I'm on the ball with this one (and it all goes to plan) I might be able to nobble the speed paint bonus point right off the bat

There will be an oath addition at some point, I just need to find something fitting for a yellow paint job...

BirdieBedtime posted:

I, BirdieBedtime, oath to paint five Mark IV Space Marines and 9 boltguns.

drgnvale posted:

I, drgnvale, oath for the month of May 11 khorne bloodletters (including one that probably belonged on a bloodcrusher) and 1 daemon prince. All Games Workshop, all 28mm scale.

My goal this year is to focus on completing an army (or more!), so I'm going to try to get at least one full unit per month instead of one or two models at a time like last year.

JerryLee posted:

Anyway, here's my oath.

I, JerryLee, oath to paint 5 Chaos Terminators

These were built from a mix of Forge World and third party parts, and there's a couple of Scibor and GW-Prime bits in there as well.

When approving this oath, please let me know whether painting the loincloths yellow on all five of these would be enough for the challenge. If not, I'll need to make an oath addition later for that.

To my eye, you'll need to do a little than the tabards/loincloths to get 25% of the model in yellow. Maybe adding the helmet, the banner things, the hands or even the knees or feet in yellow would be enough. I'm not going to dictate to anyone how they should paint their models, so feel free to dig around in your unpainted pile for something else to paint yellow.

Oaths Accepted!

Lord Hypnostache posted:

I'm going to make a curious question: is it okay to oath models without bases, even though they usually come with ones? I'm asking this because I've just moved to a temporary home (renovations) and I didn't pack my basing materials with me, so I won't be actually making many bases until autumn.

Yes that's fine, bases aren't counted anyway towards completion. Just Blu-Tac the models to something so they stand up for the Oath Complete picture, or something like that.

JerryLee posted:

The direct link for American Samoan time in the OP is broken. I figure it's worth pointing out since it'll save a lot of oathers a lot of total effort over the next year, for not a lot of effort to fix.

Fixed, thanks, and I added Deanut Pancer's cool countdown timer as well. I wasn't going to leave the broken links for long, the OP is kind of a work in progress at all times anyway, at least until the sponsors are all sorted out.

Weirdo posted:

Are the alternate universe oaths still in play? I've got 100-odd dwarves I don't think I can do in a month, but maybe in twelve.

Like last year, we'll need at least 10 people to participate to make it a proper competition. Feel free to Oath 10 or even 5 at a time though, you'll still get them done by the end of the year

Doesn't really fit into my scheme to do more than the cloth in a properly 'yellow' shade, but that's fine, I'll just toss something else in later. Thanks for the quick ruling.

And yes, I originally posed the question when the challenge said 10% minimum--if it had been 25% I probably wouldn't have bothered asking.

Can we Whales stuff from last season?

I have a fail from last season I'd like to make good on.

Hmm. I've never allowed that before. Here are three reasons why I hesitate:
-There's only one prize draw, so if I allow Whalesing of previous-year oaths, the entries could gradually become saturated by the painters who have been Oathing the longest. I'd rather newcomers have a similar chance at prizes.
-Previous years' oath threads eventually get archived. I have archives access, but many goons don't, so it would become difficult to verify the previous years' entries against a claim for Whales in the current year.
-If you have forever to go back and Whales an oath, it'll be easier to put it off... forever. An incentive to revisit your failed oaths sooner (e.g., this year) might be the best way to get us procrastinators to finish things.

That said, if there's a strong push by others to get old oaths in for Whalesing, I'm open to being convinced.

jodai: Mar 2, 2010; Banging with all due hardness.

So, for an alternate universe oath, should I just take a picture of all the stuff at some point this year? I'm definitely in for it, I've got to paint my drat castle ravenloft stuff or I can't justify buying more boardgames just for the miniatures!

How about a cutoff for failed-oaths - say anything from the final 3 months of the previous season can be carried over? (I don't how long it takes a thread to get archived - that might still be too long). I'd argue for something like this because we'd allow a fail from month 1 to be whale'd almost a year later in month 12, but a failure in month 11 or 12 is almost/completely impossible to save. I don't know if thespaceinvader's failed oath would fall within this span though...

That would be a reasonable compromise. I will say I disagree with the "almost/completely impossible to save" - remember, this is something the person actually oathed to paint in a month, and had a whole month in which to paint. Sure, if that oather wants to finish another full regular month's oath in addition to the Whales, that's... well, at least one additional model?

But yeah I could do a 3-month lookback or something. I'm wondering how many goons that would actually benefit, though. How many goons failed an oath in the last three months of the last thread?

Could we make it even simpler and just with the last month of the previous season? That allows for the 'oh crap I didn't realise the season was ending' folks without carrying too much over between seasons.

Just a quick Alternative Universe question: Are things in the AU Oath eligible as a regular monthly oath?

For example, if I AU Oath an entire boxed army, could I pledge the command section of it in a regular monthly oath?

Or would they be off-limits because that's effectively double-dipping? (Benefiting twice from the same work.)

(sorry, Australians - YOU guys only are specifically allowed to swap around the themes to fit your seasonal weather: January Summer Holidays; February Feeling Hot; May Harvest Time; July C-C-Cold; September Springtime;)

Not sure I'm quite seeing your proposed pattern, but to me the best way to go is to swap May <-> November (what deciduous trees we have turn orange in April/May, School year ends November/December), June <-> January, and August <-> March (Spring takes off August/October, March is often the hottest month of the year), and all of the other months have fixed date themes that are also valid down here like Halloween, Xmas, taxes, etc. That's how I'm planning to do it at least.

Surely that would then just be a super oath. You've got to hit all the monthly oaths that make it up plus whatever else (so if you had stuff you had started before but not finished for example).

And I am much the same. My alternate universe oath includes at least 3000 points of mechanicus, and what I have oathed so far for the month is a part of that. I view it like an extended oath, so you might alternate oath what you want to definitely get painted by the end of the year.

I can only JUST tell what timezone you used for your Oath, I had to look closely at the map on your screen because you cut off the 'American Samoa' bit of the screen. I know it's nitpicking but hey that's part of the Oathing! But you're OK - this time!

Not sure I'm quite seeing your proposed pattern, but to me the best way to go is to swap May <-> November (what deciduous trees we have turn orange in April/May, School year ends November/December), June <-> January, and August <-> March (Spring takes off August/October, March is often the hottest month of the year), and all of the other months have fixed date themes that are also valid down here like Halloween, Xmas, taxes, etc. That's how I'm planning to do it at least.

If you can post your month swaps exactly the way you're planning to do them, month by month, I'd be happy to make that the official Australian/Southern Hemisphere option for the monthly Challenges!

RE: the Alternate Universe Oathing
At the moment I'm just going to keep this simple and leave it as it was for Season 5. If you have a huge number of models you want to Oath and finish by the end of next April, that's fine, Oath them all in an Alternate Universe post and if there are 10 or more people I'll chip in $25 cash to one person, randomly drawn, who finishes their AU Oath. Doing stuff like splitting the AU Oath into different months, etc., is something I don't have time for, but if someone wants to manage that let me know how you'd handle it: krushgroove169@gmail.com
