krushgroove posted:May: Monster MAY-hem! (also OMG DRAGONS!) I thought the May tagline was WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS? The competition's Monster May-hem  Speaking of which:  To enter, simply paint up a monster and announce Monster May-hem! when you post your finished oath. By monster I mean something big and gribbly like a giant, hydra or dragon, something you'd see terrorising a village and tearing down the houses - while vampires and similar man-sized beasties may be good enough for some, they simply won't do here! I'm after stuff that is larger than ogre-sized. As it was asked in the previous thread, a Heavy Warbeast from Hordes is fine, though a Gargantuan would be better! At the end of May I'll have a look through all the entrants and pick one at random to win a fabulous prize of your choice of a £10 Wayland Voucher or $15 Warstore voucher (other digital alternatives could be sorted out if neither are suitable for the winner). Additionally, if there are at least 15 entrants I'll throw in a second voucher.  Bonus objectives You can increase your chances of winning with these bonus objectives! * They're multiplying! - if you paint more than one monster you receive an extra entry in the prize draw. * They're destroying our village! - if you post a picture of your monster terrorizing the local populace, standing triumphantly over the smouldering remains of a tavern, facing a soon to be dead hunter, or similar, you receive an extra entry! In short, some sort of diorama featuring your monster(s). Even if you have multiple entries you can still only win once.

grassy gnoll posted:May-hem question: the biggest currently-released models in my game of choice are giant robots. You're looking at something like this. Those are on 55mm bases, and they're around twice as tall as the average human-sized figure. Fair game or not? For the purposes of Monster May-Hem, I'd say no to those guys, sorry. A mecha-godzilla or a really big robot maybe, but I couldn't really imagine those guys wrecking a town. My idea with the competition is for people to paint really big monsters. krushgroove posted:I'm happy to report that Mr. Green will be guiding you all through the Oath Thread this season, thanks to some awesome webcomics done by goon moths and his wife!

I'll answer what I can! Krush is the official answers man though.malal posted:should I wait for approval before starting the actual paint? I've got half my may oathed models assembled now, and will take another pic once they are primed. Nah, go for it. Your oath pic looks fine to me so paint away! malal posted:I can oath as many times a month as I like, as long as they are all completed by the due date? as an addendum to that, assuming I can complete multiple oaths in one month, do you need to complete at least one a month to get the "master" achievement? You can make oath additions in a month (mention Oath Addition in your subsequent posts) but note you only get credit if you complete all your oath additions in a month. i.e. don't add stuff to the oath unless you're confident you can finish it. Your oath completion post should include everything you have oathed that month. malal posted:on the subject of the starting point, it says "zenithal priming IS allowed, however pre-shading or picking out details is NOT allowed** " I'm not sure what that is, I have 15 Ork Kans that are primed, and then misted with a second metallic primer. a google search seems to confirm this. would they be allowed to be entered in that condition? they have no other paint, just a black base and a silver mist spray. I'd say that'd be fine, it's essentially a single colour (silver). The rule is mainly to stop things like picking out weapons and things in a different colour. malal posted:can you complete multiple challenges/achievements within the same oath, or do they need to be separate oaths? (I.E. would completing a unit of 10 fantasy models within 24 hours complete the May theme of painting a fantasy themed model, speed painting, and squad goals, or can only one be completed at a time?) You can claim as many Achievements as you want in a single post, and can do either or both of the challenges (also called Jurnals). Note even if you do both challenges for a month it's still worth 1 point. Some achievements are automatically scored (1st/3rd/6th/9th/12th completed oath) and the 'all in one' can only be scored in April (iirc you don't have to oath during Arpil for this so long as you post the pic). For anything you're claiming be sure to add them in bold in your oath complete post to ensure they aren't missed. malal posted:for the "It's a rescue!" challenge, can a heavily converted model or scratch-build that is half built but unprimed count, or does it need to be a pure "paint" rescue? I'd say it applies to anything you rescue, e.g. a badly assembled figure from eBay you're taking apart and fixing up would count - however Krush has the final say on this. malal posted:It case it's not obvious, I'm super excited about joining the Oath thread! I'd also like to throw down the gauntlet to any other speed painters out there. I'd love to go head-to-head in either a single model time challenge, vehicle, monster, unit, or anything else y'all can think of! My personal goal is to finish 1,000 models in 12 months. Welcome aboard! Adding personal challenges / competitions etc. is always welcome, just post and paint - it'd be neat to have an 'everyone speed paint the same mini' type competition but it's probably not that practical sadly.

Cat Face Joe posted:Would keeping track of oaths and achievements be easier if there was some unique code associated with them that you'd put in your poast? Like the May oath would be as simple as MAYS7 and the 6 pack would be 6PACKS7. Then you're only a find function away from all the poasts. We have enough trouble with people remembering to claim things at all, getting people to post special codes is probably a no-go

Just to clarify a couple of things: Where are my Dragons? is the name for the Jurnal/Challenge for May. Either paint up a Dragon (or some sort of Sci-Fi flyer), or a party of fantasy adventurers, and this is worth 1 extra point on your completed Oath. Monster May-Hem is the competition I'm running this month, to encourage people to paint big monsters. You get 1 entry for painting a monster, a second entry for painting multiple monsters, and another for posing your monster(s) in some kind of diorama, e.g. adventurers encountering the dragon in it's hoard. One entry will be picked at random, winner gets an online store voucher. You could paint up a Dragon and use it for both your Jurnal and your competition entry. However, planes don't count towards the competition, and non-dragon monsters (e.g. a Giant) wouldn't count towards the Jurnal. The original layout for the Jurnals had the 'paint a Dragon' one come up at the end of a season, but we felt that getting people to paint up big monsters in two different months was possibly a stretch. --- Regarding Oathing and Prize eligibility, I still intend to Oath this season and go for achievements/jurnals etc., as I've found it really helps me get stuff done. However if I get drawn for any seasonal prizes they will be re-drawn (I think that's the way it works). I'll leave it up to individual organisers to determine my eligibility towards independent competitions like Germ's July Terrain Fest.

rkajdi posted:Because there's nothing in the thread about how to add to your oath, I hope I'm doing this right. That's fine. The general format for Oath Additions is to add 'Oath Addition' to the start, like http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3717315&pagenumber=4&perpage=40#post445650295 from last May. Note, you'll need to include everything in your Oath Complete post, including the stuff from your previous 'complete' one. nesbit37 posted:Question on scales for the monster may-hem. I am painting a 28mm dragon already, but am also painting a Screamer for Dropzone Commander which is essentially a 50 foot tall monster only in 10mm scale. Asking more out of curiosity than anything since I have the dragon in. I was originally planning on doing a 28mm Mumakil for this challenge but switched when the dragons got lumped in. I may oath addition it still if I finish with time left, especially since I have been looking for an excuse to paint it. Only had it for 7 years now... Looking at pics online it certainly seems to fit the bill of 'giant monster' even if it is in 10mm, so it's fine. May be a good idea to put alongside some infantry bases to show off how big it is in scale though

Oath Complete I think I figured out a better lighting etc. set up so my pics don't suck like usual, next step is to get a better backdrop instead of the cheap rear end lightbox I've been using.    My angry, scowly white Dragon - my spray undercoat went on weird and ended up quite fuzzy but I think it's worked out OK as ice crystals embedded in the scales etc.   A Squad of hardy Dwarf Adventurers, partners to my existing Frostgrave warband from last season. Scroll dude would make a good Sigilist if I ever tire of Enchanting.  A quick scene I threw together to show off the rough scale of the Dragon. Unpainted ruins from Renedra.  Spring Cleaning complete!

Looks like the next couple of days are going to be busy with Oath Completion posts! Spreadsheet says we've got 84 Oathers, 37 of whom have already posted their completions. As a reminder, when you make your Oath Completion post, do the following: 1. Post everything you have Oathed this month, even if you have already posted some of it (usually the case when making additions). 2. Put your name on all of the pictures. Either using a note in the picture, or using an editor like Photoshop or GIMP. If you don't do this, you don't get the points! 3. Claim any achievements you are scoring, whether you have done this month's challenge (either one) and any Competitions you are entering (such as this month's Monster May-Hem) 3a. Exception, you don't need to claim Seventh Heaven or any of the 'Finish X Oaths' achievements as these are done automatically. 3b. Some achievements require some extra evidence, like Spring Cleaning, Speed Painting and WIP pictures. Be sure to include this. 4. Once the spreadsheet link is live, double check your entry to make sure I've not missed anything. 5. If you are a new Oather (Or you Oathed 3 or fewer times during the last few seasons) and were inspired to take part by another Goon, name drop them so they are eligible for the Referral Bonus prize draw. If you have already made your completion post and would like to go back and claim any extra achievements etc. simply edit your post and let me know (with a link to your post!) so I can update the spreadsheet.

It was an absurdly lucky 1st season for me OK, time for the round up. Spreadsheet is here - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CjBdEM06ehsHI_IGCRx-Ls-j3Mw3vCoZ02a83yBnRtA/edit?ts=57292533#gid=1 (hopefully krush doesn't mind me posting it!). If I've missed anyone's Oaths, Completions, Achievements, etc let me know and link to your completion post and I'll fix it. Some stats: We had 86 Oaths, 74 of which were completed! The Squad Goals achievement was pretty darn popular with over a third of completions (26) claiming it. Also it was a good month for theme, with two thirds of completions (51) hitting either of the challenges. This was fairly popular, with 25 total entrants, triggering the bonus prize. Two vouchers are up for grabs! The following Goons have a chance at winning the fabulous prize of a £10 Wayland or $15 Warstore voucher (or equivalent):: JerryLee LordAba nesbit37 Nichol KPC_Mammon Indolent Bastard Electric Hobo jadebullet overthefalls Schmetterling LazyAngel JackMack GoodBee TheFinalTuba Red Shoe Lord_Hambrose Dr. Gargunza Pash moths Pyrolocutus darnon Taft Punk MasterSlowPoke NTRabbit The Impaler They're Multiplying - these goons get an extra chance for painting multiple monsters: LordAba nesbit37 KPC_Mammon Electric Hobo overthefalls JackMack Red Shoe moths MasterSlowPoke They're destroying our village - these folks get an extra chance for making a scene: JerryLee nesbit37 KPC_Mammon Indolent Bastard Pash MasterSlowPoke If I have missed you let me know ASAP, I will conduct the draw this weekend at a yet to-be determined time.

Oath Complete! Classic Thrud, tried to paint this in a rough comic book style. It's also Speed Painted and follows Box Art (see below quote).  Tarzan, Jane and their pet Mini-Rex out for a family stroll.   Space Princesses of various kinds. I went with the classic sci-fi show method of 'weird skin colour makeup = alien' on some of them.    Meganob and Brutes, yet more fodder for my Waaagh Demons (Demon Prince and Possessed respectively). I may go back and put some 'binding sigils' and the like on the armour but I'm happy with them for now.   Big gribbly basilisk, with tree frog inspired colour scheme. The pics don't show it off well but he's glossy IRL. Zark the Damned posted:Also, an interim update, I speed painted Thrud (I'll include this in the completion post too): In addition to Speed Painting and Box Art I'm claiming the Jurnal for the relaxing princesses plus the sheer amount of skin on display for most of my entry.

Don't worry about the post, we have long posts quite often. Possibly reiterate achievements and jurnal at the end to make them harder to miss when they're added to the spreadsheet. The image thing is done using timg instead of img in the tags. You can see the format by quoting a post with images.

Iceclaw posted:Oath complete! A few notes: * Your name is missing from the pics. No name, no points. * For the WIP and Speed Painting achievements you need to put the proof in your completion post, or at the very least links to the posts where you showed them (see my completion post as an example) * 7th Heaven, Journeyman and Apprentice are calculated automatically, no need to claim them. I think you misunderstand the latter two, they are for completing 3 and 6 months of Oathing (all Oaths within a month count as one big Oath) And a public service announcement: At time of posting there are only 12 hours left to post your completion pics!
