Forgot to quote this in my oath post, I've emailed KG just now but realised I hadn't gotten around to emailing him re: the brushes from a previous month, I mentioned I'm happy for you to have them in my place as I'm suffering extreme brush overload, assuming you still want them :)
I certainly do! I'm stuck with some really lovely 1st gen Games and Gears brushes and whatever my sister grabs for me when she's at the nail salon. Mighty kind of you :)

Also Oath addition: 1 super spooky mummy. I forget where it's from, but it's 15mm.

Yep, they're flickering tea lights that I removed the pretend candle bit from the top of, because leaving it on would have made them slightly too big to put on 'destroyed' 15mm tanks. They'll work at 28m too of course. I have 12, but two of them were busted in the packets, the switches won't turn off, so leaving them for another day.

This was hard enough so I doubt I'll work up the will to paint anything else this month.
So oath complete!


A golem stands by the road, not far from town, waiting for a master that may never return.
It turns it's head and stares at any traveler that pass by, as if measuring them by some unknown standard, then returns to it's resting position and ignores the world.
It's an ancient thing that has been there for as long as anyone can remember, no one dares approach it, save for the few foolhardy thieves that wish to steal its emerald eyes.
Their mangled corpses are carried away the next morning, as the golem looks at the frightened townsfolk with curiosity. Then, for a while, people take another road, and the golem just stands there.

I did the technical challenge with the leaves on the base, and went for backstory with that little stupid story.

Blue shading on white is a natural thing to try for cold miniatures, but it's tricky to pull off well in practice. I love this guy, he's reasonably clean, registers white and cold, and really pops. shading on the metallics is great, and the individually painted fur strands lends to a painterly quality.
Thanks! I had to look up what painterly means, so now I know a good word to throw around when I pretend to know about art.

Dezra is a rescue. Something went wrong with the primer on a bunch of my Descent stuff, so it's incredibly hydrophobic AND I can't strip it with soap or alcohol. They are all loving horrible to paint so they've been laying around for years with paintjobs at various states.

Well, we reached the end of the prize draws. Why did I keep doing this even after krushgroove went to the moon? It's only because he's repeatedly said that he'd be coming back "soon", and here at the end I just kept doing it so it was done in case he did.
I do hope that he shows up at some point, and the you all get your prizes, but I have no control over any of that. Just make sure to email him like it says in these posts and we'll see what happens.
