Nothing too fancy, I had a week where I was ill as hell this month. Gonna grab A Flying Start and Take one for the team since nobody said I couldn't (and they all came from the same kit, along with 4 more I'm oathing later this year).

OK, August is complete! On to September's oathing. (I'll catch up with galleries and spreadsheet etc. tonight).

Question on the wording here: does "weapon swap" include magnetizing a model to accept either of its normal weapons?

I, wdarkk, Oath for the month of September one Hawk Wargames PHR battlecruiser (1:9150, resin, Dropfleet Commander).


As per previous discussion, I'm going to claim The Chop Shop because I drilled into it to magnetize the upper weapons bays.

(There's two more of those.)

First time using a wet pallet, really helped. Not some miracle technique, but I feel like I had far better control of the amount of paint on the brush.




Claiming the chop shop for magnetizing the weapons bays. Eagle-eyed viewers will notice I put the weapons bay in upside down on that last shot! It's not that bad a fit either way.

I feel pretty good about this.


Vallejo's Signal Blue is kind of weird to work with, it becomes super-dark if I mess up in any way.





Most of those ships have their weapon or troopship bay magnetized on.


I didn't forget the hanger modules.

I had a good time magnetizing the battlecruiser. I also finally got good results out of Signal Blue without necessarily using an airbrush. Eagle eyed viewers might spot a slight miscalculation I made. I didn't actually have enough little guns in my batch for that one last set of wings. Technically I painted everything I oathed, I just didn't count how many guns I had prepped. :doh:

Is it ok if I do all my WiP pics from the Scourge-modified station, since it's getting the most elaborate work?

I wanted to mask off and airbrush the Scourge parts, but I couldn't find my good masking tape so I had to do it by hand.

Haven't felt very good this month, so oathing something simpler than I planned.

The paintjob is fairly simple, but the model always makes it work.

April's been an awful month for me so only one picture and a few things didn't turn out quite as well as I'd hoped. Still a nice model though. Turrets are magnetized, but the flight peg makes it hard for them to turn.
