Is there a word for getting halfway through basecoating a mini and realizing you never took a picture of it to add to your monthly oath?

I'm claiming #squadgoals on this since they're all part of the Alchemists team. Also Box Art as the friend I'm painting these for wanted the studio scheme. Here's the Guild Ball web store team image

I, head58, oath these 3 models: Supreme Archdomina Makeda, Orin Midwinter and a Cyclops Shaman from Privateer Press (Skorne). The first 2 are 30mm and the cyclops is 40.

Hopefully I'll have another model soon to add for the June challenge.

Is your Rasheth painted? I'm trying to make June Rasheth month. Although the Shaman probably has enough skin for the technical challenge and is a fantastic model.

Rasheth is who I'm hoping to get soon. Can't decide if I paint him up like Hedonismbot or not.

I, head58, oath these four terrain bits that will somehow magically become water/acid pools (one test model already in progress)



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



Probably more to come later in the month. I need to get so much done before Templecon at the end of August.

Here are some WIP Photos for my water terrain pieces, taken over the past couple of days.


The four pieces of thin birch plywood (maybe a poor base choice - have to see) have been covered with spackle/filler with raised edges to hold the water effect. I left the surfaces very rough but would probably sand them down a bit next time.


Here the pieces have been sprayed with brown spray paint and the water/swamp colors painted on the bottom where the water effects will go (fading to a lighter color near the edge to represent thinner water, and a ring of grey around where the water will meet the land). I also gloss varnished the blue/green parts after some of the paint chopped off my test model (upper left) as I was spreading the water effect around.



But the good thing about the water effect stuff is if you gently caress up you can just peel it out and start again. In this case some flocking fell into the test model as the water effect was setting and it looked like poo poo. So off it comes and now I'll start again on the test model with the lessons learned.

Here are the finished water and swamp/acid pools shown in the WIP Photos below. Some sneaky little frog-men lurk beneath the water of the swamp waiting for their prey. I'm also entering these for Would July-ke to paint some terrain, my Lord? and Life's a Beach.



Here are the Venator Reivers



And lastly Makeda and her Exalted Court

The model may look dirty or smudgy but it's largely the camera's fault and not super lovely painting (just regular lovely). The white was mixed with Liquitex Iridescent Medium to give it a sparkle effect. Looks better in person, although the white doesn't work with it as well as other colors.

Claiming the So C-c-cold technical challenge on this one.

And this makes 12 consecutive oaths completed. Thank you, comedy forum website something awful dot com for keeping me focused and motivated this past year. I know I'm not going to win any awards but I'm getting paint on models and (I think) getting a little better.

I was going to go for All for One but realized I three of my oaths were things I painted for a friend and I don't have them anymore :(

Anyway, on to season 8!
