:siren: Season 9 Spreadsheet now live siren: - check it out at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17l0uEMpeIJ9DCqQMIOo1aX39zre1NFVUiixHS8YfgBs/edit?usp=sharing and make sure I've not missed any oaths so far!

As I mentioned in my oath I've a busy month and haven't had chance to figure out the rest of the monthly challenges. I shall endeavour to at least get June's one up before the end of the month! There will likely be a bunch of returning favourites but I have had requests for some alternate ones / technique based ones so we'll see how it goes!

To all new oathers, welcome! To everyone else, welcome back! I hope everyone has fun painting their plastic crack!

Additional Oath Complete and claiming Straight Edge




Ironically there isn't a single straight edge in those loving diamonds.

Don't forget to make a single completion post with all models you've done this month (or at least quote your first completion post in this one) - it makes it much easier to scrape pics for the galleries if I'm not chasing multiple posts!

OK, sorry for the delay but I now have the proposals for the rest of this season's challenges (including May for completeness). If you have any comments, questions, etc. please let me know asap! June's one is pretty set in stone but the others can be more flexible.

As requested by folks at the end of Season 8 I have included some alternate challenges along a similar theme every other month. Some of these are repeats from previous seasons or new spins on them.

With the alternate options on some challenges there are some alterations to challenges and achievements:

Months with Multiple Options - if you complete both challenges in a month this is still only 1 point for 'completing at least one challenge'. When claiming the challenge state which option you have picked.

The Daily Double - instead of two different month's challenges, you can do both options from the same month (still can't be the current month).

The Mr Tryhard Award - for each month pick one option. You may do multiple options from a month but there isn't any extra credit for this (you still need to do all 12 months).

Thanks to everyone who has suggested challenges!

----

May - Straight Edge
Paint up a pattern involving straight lines or polygons, the sharper the better! e.g. Tartan, Hazard Stripes, Chequerboard, and so on. Can be sculpted on, freehanded, using masking tape or transfers. Note that the lines can be curved so long as it represents a straight line pattern, e.g. a Tartan Cloth wrapped around your figure. This should be a repeating pattern, e.g. a single stripe or a halved colour scheme doesn't count!

June - Hitting the Beach
Technique (Sun's Out): Paint up something that glows and use OSL to make it pop. Maybe a wizard throwing some lightning, a giant monster charging its atomic breath, overcharged thrusters on a spaceship, or an unfortunate trooper suffering a plasma malfunction!
Composition (Guns Out): Paint a figure that is showing a lot of skin. This could be a beach goer, a Conan-eqsue barbarian or fantasty princess, or even an alien or monstrous creature that hasn't figured out the concept of clothing!

July - Getting back to Nature
Model or paint something natural, such as a set of trees or bushes or some wildlife. This could be alien or fantasy stuff! This could be part of a fancy base or movement tray for your figures, or some terrain such as woods or a swamp.

August - Netflix and Chill
Technique (Going Old School): Paint up something using a very limited colour pallete, as if it had come out of an old black and white movie or sepia photograph. Ideally the whole model will be different shades of the same colour but you could have spot colours ala Sin City.
Composition (Big Brother): Paint up a figure with surveilance equipment. This could be large sensor arrays on a vehicle, a cameraman, a wizard with crystal ball or scrying mirror, or a monster or alien with obvious oversized sensory organs.

September - Obligatory Conversion Clinic Month
Convert your miniature in some way. Maybe a simple head or weapon swap, or you could go as far as a scratch build or your own sculpt! If you’re converting an existing figure, include a picture of what a standard version of the model looks like. If you're adapting your model to have swappable components (magnetig / plug in / etc.) this counts, include pictures of each option 'in action'!

October - Choose your Poison
Technique (Cocktail Mixers): Part of your figure should include a blended gradient between at least two distinct colours, e.g. red to yellow or black to white, or if you're ambitious you can go full on rainbow warrior! Make the blend as smooth as you can!
Composition (Booze Up): Paint up something related to drinking. This could be a clearly drunk individual, a bartender or server bearing drink bottles, some barrels of fine dwarven ale / elvish wine or even an inn or tavern if you're in a terrain mood.

November - Rip and Tear
Add some battle damage or gore to your figure. They could have had their arm ripped off, taken an arrow to the knee or suffered a catastrophic ammo explosion. They could also have won the fight (don't worry, it's the other guy's blood)!

December - Multidimensional Mashup
Composition (The Most Ambitious Crossover Event Ever): Add a logo or reference to a different setting/universe on your figure. e.g. a Space Marine with the Umbrella Logo, Captain America leading your Flames of War tanks into battle, or a fantasy barbarian wearing some anachronistic trainers.
Scene (Hey me, meet the Real Me!): Paint up at least 2 figures that are different representations of the same character, object or building. These could be alternate dimensional counterparts or just from different points in their 'career'. This could be a superhero wearing different versions of their costume, a tank before and after a battle, or a young monster and its grown up form. You could also paint different scale versions of the same, such as a 6mm and 28mm spearman, or a small and large elemental.

January - Every Step you Take
Take at least three Work in Progress shots of your figure, not counting your initial Oath and final Completion pictures. Each picture should show some progression. If you take a lot of pictures, show three in the completion post and include the rest in an Imgur gallery or similar linked from the post.

February - Rough Stuff
Technique (Fake it): Paint up a smooth surface on your figure with 'fake' texture. This could be marble, simulated wood grain, fake fur, and so on.
Composition (Till you make it): Your figure should feature actual heavy texturing or weathering on it. Perhaps they are wearing thick furs, a scaley hide or a metal plate that is covered in rust.

March - Life is better down where it's wetter
Paint something wet. This could be a terrain feature such as a pond or fountain, a spillage of nasty chemicals, a freshly painted vehicle, a water elemental, ooze or even someone who's just had slime dumped on them!

April - Wrestlemania!
Technique (You Can't See Me): Paint up a figure in a camouflage pattern or otherwise blending into their environment. The camouflage doesn't have to be applied to the entire model, e.g. you could have a partially activated 'stealth field' or a vehicle that is partway through being repainted for a new battle zone.
Scene (Title Fight): Create a small scene of two or more fighters locked in brutal combat! This doesn't have to be hand to hand, maybe you could have a sniper duel, battleships launching devastating broadsides against each other, or even a hapless adventurer stumbling across an angry dragon! The figures should look like they are interacting, but don't have to be a permanent part of the scene.
