i, nesbit37, oath for the month of May 94 mounted Rohan units (10mm horse tribe figures by Copplestone Miniatures) and one gnomish(?) wizard from Bones 2 It's a bit much but June and July I will be lucky to paint much so I am hoping to push it hard this month. The wizard is thrown in to paint yellow.

Oath complete! The gnomish Mage guy is for the May technical jurnal. I wanted to do a better job with him but tonight was probably going to be the last night I could paint this month so I had to start and finish him up at a tabletop quality. The shields and banners are a little bland because I have some transfers for them I am going to apply at some point.

i, nesbit37, oath for the month of June 24 Mahud raiders and one camel mounted Mahud king all in 10mm. The miniatures are all Pendraken Mahdist Camelry, some of which I added green stuff mumakil tusks to the sides of their camels. The king is a Mahdist Camelry unit with the rider cut off at the waist and a pendraken Zulu chieftain attached in its stead with some other minor green stuff conversions added. Much more modest than last month since I am moving and expect to have a lot less painting time. If I get these done quick ill do some oath additions, probably Dwarven forge cavern water tiles for the technical challenge.

i, nesbit37, oath for July smaug from Games workshop for BotFA and 4 dragons from Dark Sword Miniatures. I'm not sure what scale the dark sword dragons are supposed to be but since they are the same size as smaug and I am painting them for use in a 10mm game I am going to say 10mm. I will be doing some oath additions if I can. I have three conferences this month to travel to and I just moved so let's see what I can squeak in for July. nesbit37 fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Jul 4, 2015 |

August oath complete! I am claiming both the technical and theme August jurnal challenge (I know you only get points for 1 but I did both, so take your pick for judging), backstory, and the spring cleaning achievements.     Below is the warrior ent Blackened Twig In the very first battle this ent fought in he quickly found one of his arms ablaze. This frightened all of the ents, but rather than panic and immediately seek water or burn the tree creature fought on. It pummeled the day's foes with burning limbs, losing many branches and leaves to the blaze on its body but winning the day. The battle won the ent the nickname of Blackened Twig, and now it before engaging foes it purposely ignites itself to cause fear and greater damage to its enemies. The other ents think Blackened Twig is reckless and somewhat crazy, though its methods are certainly effective even if the tree seems to heal more slowly and regain fewer of its leaves after every battle.   For spring cleaning, I present my workstation before:  and after...

krushgroove posted:I would like some sort of solution to figuring out how folks doing multiple Oath additions and failing their last one won't get their entire Oath output for a month wiped out by failing a single Oath. If you (or anyone else) have suggestions, let me know! This would be great. Since I finished my oath a couple weeks ago I have just been prepping models for the most part and tried out a paint scheme on one other. I am hesitant to start a project beyond the prep stage just because its something I want to oath along with being what I want to work on next. The only thing I can think of to make this work within the current point system is that any oath additions that are not finished must be added to the following month's oath. If you don't oath any additional that month maybe you lose a point? I'm not exactly for penalizing people by taking things away, but if someone does an addition and does another oath the next month it just means they have more they need to get through painting. If they don't oath anything that following month than they basically got credit for failing an oath the previous month. On a some what related topic, there is a model I want to prep for painting up to the base coat level for next month but the basecoat is two parts due to the nature of the paints I am using. I want to airbrush on a metallic and then do a candy coat on top of that to tint it to a colored metallic. The entire model would be base coated that one tinted metallic color it just takes two steps to get there. Can I do this ahead of time or do I need to wait until the first of September?

Looking for some clarifications on November's jurnal. Having some issues trying to properly plan for this one."" posted:November: Harvest Time! Oranges and yellows are the theme! ORRR go with Day of the Dead as your theme For the leaves, is it like the skulls that they need to be 2D painted or is painting modeled leaves fall colors acceptable as part of this? Similar question on the harvest fest part of the theme. How much of it is sticking with the oranges and yellows mentioned in the main line for November vs. doing some sort of harvest festival activity?

Oath for November complete! Claiming jurnal for the birch tree ent with fall leaves and the Bugbear Squash Squad. First up this month is a Birch Tree Ent wandering around in the fall season.   Next up is the Bugbear Squash Squad. Many creatures beyond the more civilized races also celebrate the fall harvest. The Bugbear is no different. Long ago they learned that the fall was a great time to send out squash squads to collect farmers as they labored. The Bugbear Squash Squads venture out to the fields in leather armor adorned to resemble squashes. Yellow studded greaves, lamellar adorned with gourds, and images of fall squashes on their shields. They rush out yelling "Squash!" as they beat them into jelly with their maces and clubs, and one with a sharp implement for skinning when necessary. Here the Bugbears make all of the Human Jam, Halfling Jelly and Elven Marmalade they need to sustain themselves through the cold season ahead.    Rohan spear and arrow units!  Everyone for the month in a group shot:

December oath complete! Claiming the technical jurnal challenge since almost everything here was done with a red pallet and theme for the month. I know its early but I am only going to be around another weekish until its off to Wisconsin for the holidays and the rest of December. I am very happy with how the Type V Demon came out. Looks even better in person. First time painting zombies and I am more or less happy with them. At about the quality level I was trying to achieve with them.     Group shot!

FYI just wrote both Hawk Games and KR today with a thanks for the prize support since I just placed orders with both of them. Glad this thread is encourage me to churn through the painting, but I think rather than reducing my backlog I am picking up more and more stuff to paint as I find more things I want to paint along with the old, and now have a whole new game in Dropzone Commander to start painting for. I am going to have to be entombed in miniatures. The foundation can be made from 3 kickstarters worth of Bones.

Maybe he finally got the courage to ask the girl he likes to the prom, but she let him down gently and promised a dance with him. He always was my favorite version of the beholder.

Oath Complete! Claiming both technical and theme challenge though obviously only one applies. The zombie covered in blood and the leaping Medusa are most of it, though technically I suppose any of the flying transports for the Scourge could count. I forgot to take a solo picture of Micheline Tendress so she is in the group shot with the Blood Bowl Amazon team I didn't oath for the month but painted anyway. She is just the giant female ogre and the little goblin running for her, so sorry for any confusion for the judges. Just the ogre and goblin in this one  Just the ogre and goblin in this one  Some ate his Valentines heart and needs a napkin or two   For some reason the purple isn't showing but that's ok    I must admit that I am a little embarressed to have painted up the Sister Sledgehammers being cheesecake dwarves, but something about the fact they were originally made without beards spoke to me, and I just had to sculpt beards on some of them and fix the error:   Everyone done for the month in one shot

For next month's oath I am thinking of doing both challenges, but for the tech one I am not sure of what technique I should practice that I am not already. This year has upped my painting, especially my painting speed, but I want to set a different personal goal for next year's competition when it starts in May (assuming the oath thread will continue!). Just wondering of what techniques would be worth trying out next month? Here is what I use generally or am at least aware of, so what am I missing or would be good to focus on: Used all the time: drybrushing layering basecoating airbrush basing/priming layering shadowing washing glazing TMM (though I could do this better) greenstuff conversions gap filling and model smoothing prep painting from the zenithal light perspective painting from the general light perspective basing use occasionally: airbrush painting (trying to improve, still suck at it) feathering NMM sculpting major components OSL Freehand making things look wet seldom use but should use more (I suck at some of these and they frustrate me): 2 brush blending wet blending painting from other than zenithal or general light perspective pre-shading Haven't tried: zenithal priming
