Oath Complete!

All the little soldier guys are waiting for the school bus, excited for the first day of war.


Backstory:
"HEY! Settle down back there! Now listen up! I am Mr. Wilson, your bus driver. THIS is MY bus!
I expect you all to behave like proper soldiers as long as you're on MY bus. Don't get any funny ideas, I WILL turn this thing
around as soon as I hear the first 'Billy stole my iron ration' or 'Jimmy shot me in the foot'. Then the general will get pissed
that a busload of recruits are missing from the battle, and I'll have to explain how you where acting like jerks. Then he'll
court-martial you all, and you don't what that now do you? Good. Now... Which one of you is Johnny? You? I'm keeping my eye on you.
Now, let's go, we don't want to miss the first day of war."
Mr. Wilson turns to the controls and mutters under his breath.
"I've been doing this for 42 years, and there's always a loving Johnny."

Stuff done this month:
The 6-pack!, Backstory and the bus challenge.

I don't know how happy I am with this color scheme. I should probably paint up some more figures to make sure.
But they're Privateer Press so I'm in the game for that sweet Hordes box.



Did the technical challenge with the water on the big base and the leftmost Shifting Stone.

I've not oathed in a very long time despite having probably painted over 100 minis since my last oath here, and this one comes with a twist thanks to TheCosmicMuffet.

Ive been painting minis close to 30 years so me oathing 1 miniature is going to look a tad lame. The twist is following a sudden illness in mid May that almost killed me, Ive been left with a right arm and hand that barely functions. To save me typing out a story heres another post where I mentioned it. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3465762&userid=24506&perpage=40&pagenumber=7#post447844933

Thats a lot of waffle to say Im going to have my first go at painting a miniature with my left hand.

That's rough, but good it isn't keeping you down :)
Also, your oath picture should have the American Samoa timezone.

A bunch of heavily color-coded mercenaries. It's for easy recognition while playing, and I like the idea of a bunch of unscrupulous thugs going into battle wearing colorful scarves and sweaters that their mothers made them for christmas.



For the September challenge: Going for Ragnar Lothbrok from Vikings.

The pose is bad for Frostgrave, so I repositioned his arm and cut off his head to get rid of that stupid haircut:

So I'm thinking about oathing my first ever attempt at painting a miniature in a week or so, and am wondering if I need to base it, or I can just keep it pinned. I don't have the materials to properly base anything yet, and won't for a few months.

You don't have to do bases. I'd personally just stick them into some cork painted like a rock, snap some pictures and then re-base them later.

Krushgroove specified the challenge a while ago. I bolded the last bold part.

krushgroove posted:

OK, so here's the Challenge for October!

October: The month of horror movie releases and Halloween!
  • technical challenge: paint a 'classic' scary monster, like Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc. - but in black and white!
  • theme challenge: put something spooOOOOooky on your model!

:siren: :siren:I need to amend this :siren: :siren: as the "'classic' scary monster" is unintentionally too limiting in the scope of models. Please update the technical challenge to:
  • technical challenge: paint any monster model in 'classic' black and white, just like Boris Karlof's Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, or giant ants - those classic movie monsters from the 40's, 50's and 60's!

To answer the specific questions (which is fine! questions are good!):

I think you mean 'is it enough to paint a ghost model, skeleton model, mummy model, etc, or must we add something (as in sculpting?)' - if this is the case then:
YES - you can paint a ghost, skeleton, mummy or other stereotypically 'spooky' to claim the them challenge
OR - you can convert a model, for example to look like a slashfic horror victim or as Michael Myers or Freddie Krueger or other horror villain
OR - you can...I dunno, paint a spooky ghost on the side of a flyer model or something like that
OR - do whatever you think is within the theme of the challenge. I don't want to be extremely limiting here because of the breadth of games that are represented, and the various themes that people have for their army. It's up to your creative input to come up with something that fits within the theme challenge.
