I, Schmetterling, hereby Oath for the month of April two old space marines and two plastic bases  The space marines were painted by a friend eons ago, so I plan to Rescue them while remaining suitably vintage. The bases are from some of the new DnD preprimed models that I grabbed to check out, and they will become a couple of tokens.

 January Judgement Third Place (1 Point): - Uroboros  I really your bikes. You strike a good balance between matte and metallic. Your highlighting always comes through very well in these photos. Second Place (2 Points): - Electric Hobo  This guy jumped right out at me. The depth on his clothes contrasted by the dull metal really caught my eye. The basing is lovely and I was worried your March oath had somehow got mixed in the January archive. First Place (3 Points): - SRM  drat, dude. Black and white and red? Mine would look like the proverbial penguin in a blender but all these guys are v. smooth. Bonus Point (1 Point): - Signal  This is a real nice "used" white. Grimey but it looks like they hose him down after every encounter.

Oath Complete! Two newly rescued very vintage space marines and two Nightmare Fruit tokens. I didn't paint warhams as a teen, but I have several friends who did, so I'm reliably informed that I have successfully channeled the vintage aesthetic. One friend offered to share the wisdom of an old White Dwarf magazine (and an unopened tub of GW flock), which I have used to faithfully recreate the "flock or sand with goblin green rims" basing style.   The two models are also vintage in another way, being approximate recreations of the pre- and post-Heresy colour schemes of the World Eaters.  The Nightmare Fruit tokens are loosely based on the official art for the fruit.   That's the vintage theme, and the achievements It's a Rescue! and I rolled a six...!.

Oath complete! I've been busy painting other stuff not much oathing this time.  I did the technical challenge as I painted this guy by looking at these two images:   Not surprising that his colors look nothing like on the box, since the guide doesn't mix anything. And All for one!

February Fudgement Third Place (1 Point): - Galaspar  I really like what you do with your space marines. I don't know if this is an actual GW pallette but I've never seen any with these colors before. The white and green really make them stand out. I like your heroes purple capes. These guys probably look real nice on the table. Second Place (2 Points): - Ilor  The wear, dirt, and rust on these is excellent. I think the inside of the treads are particularly well done and give these an extremely well used look. First Place (3 Points): - Arson Fire  The blue and the bone are my favorite parts on this. You took the standard pinkish exoskeleton and really stepped up the theme with the blue blending. It gives a very clean definition between the two sections without being jarring. Bonus Point (1 Point): - floppychop  Love these green explosions. They look super toxic and acrid.

Oath Addition! 4 Marauder Guards and 6 Marauder Jacks by Mantic (28mm)  This will be my It's a rescue!, and I'll also be doing this as my theme challenge - they are amongst the oldest minis I own, and they were part of the third oath I ever made, way back in season 4, when I was still painting with model kit paints, using dollar store brushes, and had no idea what washes, details, think your paints, or colour theory were. Gonna bring these up to an acceptable standard.

 Season 8 Announcement As there's only about a week left of Season 7, I've gone ahead and made the thread for Season 8 - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3818112 If you're interested in joining in for another round, pop along and let me know if you've any questions or suggestions regarding the new rules, challenges and achievements.

Oath complete!  This dude is old-school. "gently caress this Sigmar stuff. For Karl-Franz and the Empire!!!" Given that this was the oldest unpainted mini I owned, and that I did, in fact, paint his old-school 20mm square slotta-base Goblin Green, I am claiming both the theme and the technical challenges for this month. I also took some time to clean up and organize my painting space, so I'm claiming the Spring Cleaning achievement. before:  after:  It's amazing how much more enthusiastic I am about painting now that I have a neater, more organized space in which to do it. And how much easier it is now that I don't have a ton of poo poo in my way all the time. And finally, to close out the season, here's my All For One! photo:  A better (?) look:  Not all of that stuff was Oathed (I did a second squad of American GIs and a German Panzer II), but it's all stuff I've painted since starting the last season in May of last year. I have to say that this was a fun process. I learned a ton of stuff this year, and the technical and theme challenges definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone when it came to painting stuff. But I've attempted stuff in the last year that I would never have tried previously, so that's been cool. And I got a ton of poo poo done! I'm looking forward to next season!

Oath Complete Here's the Tethru Scribe, Harbinger of Thoth and Tethru Master of Words   and for the Theme an old Mage Knight Chaos Mage. This is only from 2000, but it's a pre-paint from a booster pack so hopefully it can at least rival the older minis in crumminess. Here's what it originally looked like. No idea why it ended up so glossy, must have something to do with the material the mini was made of or the paint I painted over.   And here's everything I oathed this year (well, I only participated the last 4 months) for the All For One photo.

TheFinalTuba posted:I, TheFinalTuba, oath to paint for the month of May, one Civilian from Infinity and one Young LaCroix (is that what this thing is?) from Malifaux! And OATH COMPLETED!   Claiming Jurnal for painting my oldest model, the Young LaCroix, as well as It's a Rescue! for saving my poor Comm-Tech. Her start of a paint job was awful before and I am way happier about her now. I even had some fun and turned her hat into Ash Ketchum's hat After that, I obviously had to make her little data-pad a Pokedex. Duh. If you squint you can make out a rough facsimile of a Pikachu! Now just have to decide if she will be a Wardriver or a High Value Target...Also! My picture for All for One!  It's REALLY cool to see them all on display like this. And it's not even everything I painted this year. Easily has been one of my most productive paint years ever. Thank you Oath Thread. See you next season!!!

Now that TheFinalTuba has gone home, I can do my own finale. Oath Complete!  Backstory posted:All he'd ever seen was conflict. Men fought desperately for the right to die near him, struggling to be the last one to bleed within arm's reach. Hours of pitched battle would see one faction victorious, just for them to be swept off into their darkened holding cells. He, however, got to bask beneath the light; for he was that most blessed of creations: an Objective. Claiming the Journal and It's a Rescue! For these very old plastic Rhinos from Games Workshop's Epic. (Someone else might be able to know the date they came from, I snagged a bunch off of eBay years back.) Also claiming Backstory for the thrilling tale of an objective marker's life, which also qualifies for I rolled a 6!. Before/After pics for Spring Cleaning:   Before picture was just after I'd managed to make an extra little paint holder, and cram it into the corner. I was also a little surprised when I went to my All For One! picture, as it includes only a small fraction of the stuff I actually painted this year. Oath Thread is wonderful at motivation, and I'd sometimes find myself painting 4-5 times as much stuff as I oathed, just as a result of the pace it helped me set.  And with that, I call this Year Complete.

Looks like it is. OATH COMPLETE. Painted 'em up to fit in with my old orks, although the colors are a little different because hell if I'm buying Citadel paints. Start : 28 April 2017 05:33 End : 29 April 2017 03:02  Total elapsed time : 21 hours, 29 minutes. ACHIEVEMENTS CLAIMED: Speed Painting! Kickin' it Old Skool! #SquadGoals All for One! Group shot :  I had to get a couple closeups of this guy, as I think he turned out the best:   And finally, a shot of everything I got done in here this year :  It's not much since I started late, but 2 Heavy Warjacks and 5 soldiers is more than I've painted in the last decade!

Oath Complete! Couldn't be arsed to get the lightbox out this month, so plain tabletop pictures.   Airbrush-painted before assembly this time, the kit goes together really solidly - only pins are in the rear feet/tracks attaching it to the base. All other joins are quite snug and/or have massive contact surfaces. Quite nice to finally paint the model I actually got the airbrush for in the first place :-)
