OATH ADDITION! I additionally oath these 20x GW Dark Elf shields (1999 version)

Oath Addition

Joining the Tubb Club, I, head58, additionally oath Dominar Rasheth (50mm Privateer Press Hordes model) for June! Should be good for the June theme. He gets to relax even if the baby elephants carrying him around do not.

Scowny posted:
I, Scowny, oath in addition, this 28/30mm Scibor Barbarian (the website can't decide what scale it is apparently)

BobFish posted:
Oh, well this is embarrassing. I have come to claim oath complete but it appears I never posted the oath, just took pictures.

Iceclaw posted:
I... err, just want to warn that I'm probably going to let my Oath lapse. I just got dumped, among other really awful crap, and I don't think I'll be in the mood for painting. Not a guarantee though.
That sucks! If you haven't been out drinking all this time, painting and modeling is pretty therapeutic if you can get into the mindset.

I, wdarkk, Oath two Dropzone Commander PHR Helios skimmers for the month of June (10mm, Resin).
Just a reminder, this needs to be American Samoa (not a biggie really, but if you were cutting it fine it could matter) - no worries though!

I, Dimo ArKacho, oath to complete this Emperor's Royal Guard with my 12 hours of remaining daylight. 28mm from Fantasy Flight.

Edit: Added my name to the picture
FYI, you don't need to add your name to your Oath picture (the one with the timestamp) - just to your Oath Complete picture, and that's only if you want points!

The Impaler posted:
I, The Impaler, cheekily oath with under a day to go- a 28mm GW Grot

Time to knock out a test scheme for next month while I try and finish up the 20 or so other models in various painted stages on my desk.

Dimo ArKacho posted:
I, Dimo ArKacho, oath to complete this HK Assassin before my 10 hours are up. As before, 28mm Fantasy Flight.

Crap. Thought there was one more day.

Now THIS is cutting it close!

According to this link from Deanut Pancer, there's less than 2 hours remaining! Get Oathin'! (or better yet, get painting!)

OK, so announcement post!

Unfortunately I was too busy this morning and forgot to bring one of my Zombicide models, a brush and a few paints with me to work, so I'm too late to Oath anything - lucky for all of us there will be an AMNESTY MONTH later in the year, to let you fill in an Oath month you missed! To be announced...but it'll be October, which is my birth month (so hopefully I don't forget). It's roughly halfway through the competition so it shouldn't affect points totals too much, I thought of maybe having one late in the Oath Season (like March or April) but I think that would skew things too much again.

FOR EVERYONE THAT'S WON A PRIZE DRAWING I have many many of you to get to, if you've emailed me I have your email and will work through them from oldest to newest (which is why I request emails only, not PMs, sent to krushgroove169@gmail.com, I can search for them and you can't search for poo poo on PMs). I have TONS of stuff to send out, and even more from the season 6 Top 10 stuff, so please be patient. If you've selected something that WAS available when you looked at the grab bag (or whatever) stuff but someone claimed it before you, please don't get upset, just choose something else or I can send you a clutch of Springer-Pinsel brushes as a replacement.

THE NEXT THEMED OATH MONTH will be in AUGUST, sponsored by KR MULTICASE (soft foam for figures, hard cases for soft foam)! This will be a similar thing as last year's competition, basically you paint something on your KR card case, carry bag, backpack, fabric case or whatever! So prepare for that. This time there will just be a single winner to get a cool prize from KR, so get your designs ready!

Also I want to give a HUGE THANKS to ZARK THE DAMED and ELECTRIC HOBO for doing the spreadsheet and prize draws - I'm crazy busy in the summer with a lot of out-of-town work so as you can see I can fall behind on things, and their help helps me keep on top of things :unsmith:

July: Life's a beach! :siren:

technical challenge: use water effects of some type on your base, so that your model looks like it's just stepped out of the water - or it's just about to go in the water!

theme challenge: paint a model that is in some way related to water - it could be a mermaid, navy SEAL, fish, sharkman, boat, whatever you like!

Thanks to goon moths and his wife for the awesome art piece!

The monthly countdown clock is here thanks to goon Deanut Pancer - you can quickly see how much time is left for your Oath Complete picture to be posted!

Questions about this month's Challenges will be copy/pasted here!

I thought I had it on American Samoa (I used the link in the first post)!

You were fine, as Zark said I was talking to 2 other goons (Iceclaw and Radio Free Walrus). But when I'm so far behind approving Oaths I'm not as strict as normal anyway.

Likely more to come once I get this lot done!

Why do I still have Uncharted Seas stuff?

And also these Venator Reivers with command attachment (12 models) and Makeda3 with her Exalted Court (3 models) all 30mm stuff from Privateer Press

I, JackMack Oath "The Time Traveller", a promotional miniature for the Pantheon of Chaos Kickstarter.

It's not the best angle, but I am going to go for box art by painting according to the album cover. If you don't know what album, consider this a cunning puzzle.

All 28mm; the two broken tower sets are Reaper Bonesium, everything else is Games Workshop. Nothing primed yet, although some of the pieces are covered in liquid greenstuff and filing marks (that's a greenstuff join on the topmost tower piece).

Red Shoe posted:

For July I oath: A Battle Boar, a Splatter Boar, 6 Morats, and 16 Damaged Urban tiles!
The boars are Privateer Press, Morats are Corvus Belli, and the tiles are from Secret Weapon miniatures.

Hopefully this photo works, I was hard pressed to fit both the oath contents and the timestamp in the same shot.

LordAba posted:

I, LordAba, oath 3 tyrannofex from Games Workshop and 3 tyranid terrain pieces from Forgeworld

Okay, one of the tyrannofex is started already but I don't care. I still have to get it done anyways.

I, Pyrolocutus, do oath this The Swamp Hag box set from Wyrd's Malifaux line. Left to right is Zoraida, Voodoo Doll, Bad Juju, and three Silurid.

Oaths Accepted!

Business Gorillas posted:

just as a head's up, there's no explanation as to how i do save da whales in the op

Sorry about that, I've been meaning to copy over the info from Season 6 but it's basically the same as in the last few years - post that you are Saving Da Whales and include a picture of your failed Oath. Only Oaths from season 7 can be saved, though!

Pyrolocutus posted:

For the challenge, can we paint the water or does it need to be one of those water effects? Also, would a crack at swampwater be acceptable, or does it need to be brighter, happier water?

Using the phrase 'water effects' was a poor choice, really, as that's a brand name of Vallejo's clear resin type material. Painting water is fine, but it has to be WATER: the edge of a beach, a flowing gutter or something like that is fine, there needs to be some sort of wavy water-like surface. Although if somone wants to paint a cartoon-like watery surface of something emerging from water (like blue or white 'water' dripping or flowing off a leg or something) that's fine too. It doesn't have to actual clear resin or water model effects. And it can be a swamp, river, pond, well, whatever.

krushgroove: Oct 23, 2007; Disapproving look

Hello Oathers!

I...have been super busy since the start of July, so massive, huge apologies for not popping in sooner. To explain very briefly, July had 5 weekends, and I was away on multi-day work weekends for 3 of those weekends - and I'm away *again* for an even longer weekend next week. And again later this month and a couple more times in October. No rest for the wicked!

The result was that for most of July there were Oaths that didn't get approved, questions that weren't answered and I'm sure a few of you good folks were wondering what was going on. But I see lots of people still Oathin' and paintin' like the good people you all are, so you're still chugging along!

So there will be a hopefully welcome change - Zark the Damned will expand his spreadsheet-keeping duties and take on the role of approving Oaths! This includes basically just making sure the Oaths are OK, have the time stamp, correct number of colors and all that, and then adding that straight into the spreadsheet. That should speed things along and keep anyone new from wondering if it's OK to start painting.

That still leaves things like prizes to be sent out, which is all down to me, as I physically have most of the prizes that need to get sent out, and I need to contact the sponsors for season 6 to make sure they're going to hold up their promise to send out sweet gamer swag. So when I return and have time at home I'll be packing up more stuff and taking it to the post office to a) get piles of stuff out of my house! and b) get piles of stuff out to you guys!
