This one features, as past drawings did, the intrepid Mr. Green, the Ork With No Name (but he actually...does...have a name? don't worry about that!) I'm so happy to see art in the Oath thread again! I was bummed that I had too much going on and couldn't do it anymore, but I'm glad the reins have been passed to more capable and talented goon artists.

Foolster41 posted:Are people here using phone cameras,. or reguilar cameras? Everyone's photos here look great. I just can't seem to get a non-blurry photo any more. I must have taken close to 50 pictures with differetnt light configurations and angles and settings (such as turning auto-focus off). Even using my (old) digital camera didn't work. I stopped using my camera and started using my iPhone 6. The camera on that's lovely. The lighting is what really does it, IMO.

Slimnoid posted:One trick I learned when it comes to scorch effects on a flamer is that, after painting it like you did there, give it a wash with brown ink. Not a wash, an ink--the ink gives it a richer color. Would the GW gloss washes give that effect or would you want to specifically get an ink?

Mugaaz posted:Batch painting is a destroyer of souls. The gain in efficiency isn't worth it. It's necessary if you want to get an army out. To a certain point it's totally worth it. Batches of 5 or 10 guys are definitely doable. Earlier this month I did a batch of 20 Empire Crossbowmen and I wanted to slit my wrists though, that was the worst.

OATH COMPLETE! Claiming backstory and it's a rescue     Backstory In 006.M41, the Ultramarines launched an assault on the planet of Lutum III, colloquially known to the Imperial Guard unit stationed there as "Dirt Planet". There were few natural resources and it was of little tactical importance in the greater sector, but being a life-sustaining planet, Imperial decree demanded that it be wrenched from the hands of the Bad Moons Orks inhabiting it. The Ultramarines were lead by the then-Captain of the 2nd Company, Octavius. Stormbolter in one hand and chainsword in the other, Octavius led the men of his chapter and the Imperial Guard into battle countless times, leading from the front and besting countless Orks in combat. He went undefeated in his campaign until, shortly before the planet could be wholly brought into compliance, the Black Legion appeared, drawn by the heroic deeds of the captain and the blood spilled on Lutum III. Imperial Guard forces turned traitor, and while the 2nd company fought on, it was clear that they were losing more Marines with every battle and the campaign would end in the destruction of their company. On the final day of the campaign, Octavius oversaw the withdrawal of his forces from the planet. Before the survivors could load into their Thunderhawks, a contingent of renegade Imperial Guard struck the airfield. Their armor rolled through the fences and barricades nearly unopposed as the Ultramarines carried their wounded onto the dropships. They needed more time, and Octavius held the line with the remainder of his command squad. He was wounded repeatedly, but his armor and trusted apothecary kept him standing. As the ramp of the final Thunderhawk was about to close, Octavius and the apothecary ran for the ship. Lasbolt after lasbolt ricocheted off his armor until finally an autocannon round hit him square in the back, blowing off his powerpack and knocking him to the ground. Before he could get up, the shells from the traitor artillery had him ranged, and they tore up the earth around him. The apothecary was unable to save him, as he was obliterated by an earthshaker shell seconds later. The last Thunderhawk left Lutum III without its captain, but his sacrifice allowed the Marines of his company to live on and fight once more. While the planet was later purged by the Dark Angels under Master Kael, the sacrifice of Octavius was never forgotten by the 2nd company. The actual story: Back in 2006, I played a homebrew ruleset with my friends using 40k models and fluff. However, it was horribly, horribly unbalanced, and I ended up winning every game because we didn't have a points system or anything, just a vague "yeah, that looks right" feeling when putting the armies on the table. In every game, Octavius was my commander, and in every game he survived. At first it was just my buddy with his Guard and my other friend with his Orks, but then a fourth guy came along with Chaos and that's when things heated up. Finally, in one of the last games of the system we ever played, Chaos and Guard teamed up against my Ultramarines and my army got beat soundly. The last models alive on my side of the table were Octavius and his apothecary, who were running for the table edge when they got shot to pieces by a Chimera with an autocannon turret. I thought it would be a fun way to take an old model from my youth and memorialize the time I spent playing silly homebrew rules with my friends when I was a teenager, while still making something useful for my regular games of 40k.

OATH COMPLETE I painted up Roboute Guilliman! The marble on the base was a nightmare, but the model itself was really fun to paint! I also got to mess around with the 'Eavy Metal painting guide for painting faces from October's White Dwarf, which I followed to get the face. I'm really proud of that part, even if I don't love the cape.      I also magnetized the base so I could stick him on a 40mm base:

with a rebel yell she QQd posted:OATH COMPLETE! I like those Bloodbowl duders, but I think the only thing really missing for the Marine are some transfers and iconography. A tactical arrow on one shoulder, a Fist icon on the other, and maybe something like a lightning bolt on his knee and he'll be interesting. The old "I love my bolter" Marines are great canvases for stuff like that since they're such simple minis.
