I enjoy the muted quality to the colors. It looks unreal. Which is good for a dude who's warping real hard.

I eat up even the most minor of compliments. Going to go to work on Thunderfire Cannon soon I think, about to get back from my trip, ready to paint some stuff.

Those are some great looking assassins, especially this bad mofo. It can be said that black, white, and red are all difficult colors to work with, and they're all represented really nicely here. I like the shading on the skull, looks like grey with a very slight touch of green? Very skully, works great. The highlights on the black suit and red armor is nice and smooth, and achieve just the right amount of contrast with the base tones. I also enjoy how subdued the base is, it works well considering the dynamic pose.

Sweet, thanks! I didn't really expect to make anyone's radar considering what I've seen so far.

The skull is Zandri > Seraphim Wash > Zandri > Ushabti > Screaming Skull > Very thin line of White Scar on the most raised portions like the eye sockets. The eyes themselves are Stegadon > Sotek > Temple Guard Blue. The whole thing looks a tad darker in the picture than reality, imo.

Also, I was going through the spreadsheet. Did I win something for June, or is that a typo? I didn't see my name on a post, maybe I didn't look hard enough.

Land Speeder will be done tonight, so I am going to oath my first tactical squad since I painted my first models last year. Going to make a Sergeant and Special Weapons Marine with ALL the extra options. Unsure if I should make these guys part of the 3rd Company as opposed to the 2nd. I am thinking of doing a mix of many different companies instead of running pure 2nd. Thoughts?

Oath Addition, Ultramarine Tactical Squad.

Signal posted:

Hey, thanks a lot! Just to reiterate though, everyone should definitely try things. Last year was the first time I've won anything, and that's largely the result of making myself do every challenge every month, and forcing myself to gently caress up all the time. There are some super talented people here, but the person you're really competing against is yourself.

krushgroove posted:

I can certainly understand the sentiment but it's the taking part that *should* be what these little challenges are about

I got X amount of time to paint man. Got ultra-bros to finish! Boxes while a neat idea take me no closer to crushing my enemies both in battle and looking glorious while doing it.

Alright, got a small Halloween Vacation coming up, and so I was able to finish my oath at the final hour. Obviously, no bases attached because I don't plan on getting my Dragonforge bases in for a couple more months.

I will say I am very happy with the result here despite it being the most tedious job so far. The only thing I am dissatisfied with is my transfer job on the tactical markings, but the micropens I bought turned out to be useful for drawing the roman numeral one on them despite my shaky hands on a few.

A couple establishing pics. Proof that I painted all 10, and a wide shot of the magnetized options for the Sergeant and Special Weapons Marine.

I'll invite you all over for tea and biscuits, one by one (or in small, well-mannered groups if you insist) and I'll get around to the Oaths and photo albums in the next couple of days - please carry on painting and if anything comes up with your Oath I'll ask in the thread!

Going to make an oath addition.

1x Ultramarine Devastator Sergeant with all weapon options.
5x ultramarine Devastators magnetized for all weapon options.



This sprue resulted in my first hobby wound, put a small centimeter long and deep cut in my thigh like a jackass...

Pointy slicey bits pointed away from you at all times. Your leg is not a cutting mat.

I wasn't using my leg to cut on, but it was still silly. The new plastic sprue seems a bit stronger than the old one and I was likely putting way to much force into trying to cut.

I'd add on something else for the remainder of the month but honestly that big guy took a lot out of me and I'm still not at all happy with it. I think I need to step away from painting for a bit.

Did you use many washes on this? Because it looks freaking awesome at this distance, but on the guy it looks a bit...bright?

Alongside squadron mate Reaper, which was painted as part of season 5

If you make multiple oaths in a season, but only complete one can you save the whales the other one for the upcoming month? I ask because my Terminators are done but I doubt my Devastators will be ready in 10 days, especially with Thanksgiving.

Everything you oath in one month is "an oath" which you either finished that month, or, you failed to finish and can therefore Save th Whales by finishing at any time for the rest of that Oathing Season.

In that case I'd like to retract the Devastators and stick my original oath, the addition is to ambitious.

:siren:OATH COMPLETE!!!:siren:



I’m claiming the Technical Challenge for the corpse/wound marker skull thingee. Sometimes the theme works with what I’m already painting, sometimes it gets me to do something I wasn’t going to do anyway. Which, I’m guessing is the point!



Here are the Dark Eldar Warriors. These are for my Corsair army, so I carved off some of the spiky bits to get them to fit in with regular Eldar a bit better.




I’m pretty proud of the 2-story ruin! The floor slots in so it can be easily removed for gaming if need be. It stays up fine without that extra pillar, but it looks physics-defying, so the pillar helps sell it a bit. Dark Eldar for scale.





EDIT: Forgot the scatter terrain! For rubbling up everything else:

At the moment this guy is actually finished and had I been paying attention I could've taken another picture and claimed the speed prize for finishing him in under 24 hours but oh well. Finished him along side my most recent squad of new Ultras, will post mad pics tomorrow from the tournament.
