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.

Let's get this show on the road. I hope I'm not going to be quite as busy this season as I was last, hopefully I'll get more stuff done this time.

I, Lord Hypnostache, oath 3 player pieces from Relic (FFG) and an Orc Boar Chariot (28mm GW)


The chariot normally has two drivers, but I seem to have lost temporarily misplaced him, I'll oath him when I find him. Also yes, those Relic guys were my Alternate Universe Oath last season, I didn't get any of them beyond primed. I hope this is okay.

Just a reminder on your names being in your Oath Complete pictures!
If you DON'T put your name in, YOU WILL NOT EARN POINTS TOWARDS YOUR FINAL POINTS TOTAL. You are still eligible for prize draws and Judgements, though!
If you DO put your name in, you WILL earn points, as well as be eligible for prize draws and Judgements.

The idea is that if you just want to get things painted, dip in and out, etc., don't worry about your name. But those of you shooting for the top 10, add in your name for sure!

Hopefully this doesn't make things too difficult for the judges (it all depends how they look at the finished models, whether it's post-by-post from the spreadsheet links or only by the photo album pictures)

Oops, completely forgot about that. Edited the names into the pictures (I'm so glad imgur supports editing)

I got a bit carried away and forgot what the actual theme for journal was, but everyone's ready for a day at the beach! The orc has dressed up in its nicest summer dress with pink flowers and the goblin has some sick waves painted on his shield. The dark elf has managed to find the one beach where it apparently isn't nice and sandy. Dark elves hate fun.

You were missing the sixpack and may points because you did not earn points for the month of May.


The pictures that did not have your username were fixed and updated after the deadline which is why you did not earn any points. Since this was the first month and you fixed it pretty darn quick krushgoove may take mercy on you.

Oh alright, my bad. If krushgroove is is merciful I will gladly take the points, but I'm mostly interested in making sure I'm in the monthly and quarterly prize raffles, and I just noticed that that doesn't seem to be dependent on having completed oaths with journals.

My idea for spring or January was whatever mini you've had in WIP stage for longest, you finally finish. Or if you're a weirdo that finishes everything they start, then extreme makeover. Obviously waiving the 1 color requirement.

I like this. Some of the older Oath threads had something like this, Amnesty month I think it was called.

JerryLee posted:

Re: the challenges. The June challenges seem redundant, in that if you've done the technical challenge, you've automatically done the theme challenge too; or, to put it another way, the theme challenge is only a numerically lesser version of the technical challenge, with nothing else to distinguish it. Unless I'm missing something.

Maybe June theme challenge should be to paint a model that's kicking back, relaxing and enjoying life. A model that's very clearly not in the middle of a battle, waving a gun around, swinging a sword or roaring at adventurers. Something like that.
