By Dark Tone, you mean "Dark Tone Ink"? I haven't used it before, just been using P3's core washes as well as diluted P3 paints as effective washes. I'll take a look next time I go to the FLGS though, see if they have it in stock (likely).

Pretty sure El Estrago Bonito means Army Painter Quickshade, which comes in three tones, it's basically a darkened gloss varnish that you can dip your minis in to quite literally quickly shade them, as well as protect them - just add a coat of matt varnish on top to take away the shine.

(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.

I, NTRabbit, for April in the year of our Scruntlord 2015 and first month of Season 6, Oath to paint

  • 5 Ogre Warriors w/ one handed weapons, 3 Ogre Shooters and 3 Ogre Boomers by Mantic (28mm)
  • Hill Giants Krug and Golan by Reaper (25mm)

All for Kings of War by Mantic




Eagle eyes will spot a 6th Warrior already painted - he was my test paint for a scheme last year. Kings of War is multibased, so he'll be joining the other 5 warriors on one base and I'll use an arrow or something to point out which one he is in the final photo

And another Sponsor Announcement!


Springer-Pinsel Kolinsky Sable Brushes
is another Returning thread sponsor!

They will be supplying monthly prize packs of top-quality brushes and (I think) also a big Grand Prize pack!

Springer-Pinsel are a German company that has been around for over 100 years and is still a family-run concern. They are the OEM supplier for Army Painter (the white-handled brushes) and make a huge range of brushes for artists in over a dozen different disciplines.

Better to tell you now rather than wait for Krushgroove - your oath photo needs to have the worldtimeserver website on a scree/tablet/phone set to American Samoa in it to count. Also I don't think they accept oaths for a month until that month has actually started.

The weather is so cold the dirt paste on my bases refuses to dry, so here they are unbased

I'll post redone photos on their bases later if I'm allowed

Ok, now that the paste has finally goddamn dried, I've been able to superglue the already completed minis to their base. They still don't have any flock, but that's not as important as waiting for my bottle of Pledge Future Shine to arrive and seal them first - it's gonna be some tall flock, don't want varnish glooping it all together.





Why yes, that boomer is missing a head. Not pictued is me severing the head of my brother, for surprising me with yet another witticism about his undefeated, top of the table football team that he won't loving shut up about just as i was lifting my paint tray with one hand and trying not to spill a dicky bottle of citadel nuln oil with the other. The actual Ogre head has fallen into the vortex.
