Let's do the space-time warp again!

Late to the party this month because work is kicking my rear end, but I don't want to start off the new season with completely missing it. :(

I, Ashcans, oath these two Marvel Crisis Protocol cars for May

Not a great start to the new season, I am wholly disappointed with these. :( I had a real tough month, and that combined with making some poor choices on how to approach these (like painting them white and yellow) means that it was all a struggle and mess. I'm calling them done as they are terrain pieces and they'll be good enough for the table, even if they're not where I wanted them to be. Boo!

I had previously worked on the turret for this (not included here) so I will be using Rescue Ranger as I am working to complete a started model. Let me know if you need a picture of the turret I guess?

As a reminder, this was a Rescue Ranger, as I had already started the tank by painting the turret - so I dunno, maybe exclude that from consideration? I am claiming the monthly for the burning braziers on the chassis.

I had grand plans for this guy that kept getting scaled back as I continuously screwed up the NMM and had keep reappraising my ability. So now I'm mostly just mad, but he's done so there we go. I will still claim the challenge for the NMM attempted.

Claiming Shades of Grey as this is painted only using grey to imitate Spider-Man Noir's appearance in Into the Spiderverse - excepting the rubik's cube, which I think falls under the 'accent' option.

OK, Season 13 is officially done barring some admin. Thanks again to everyone who participated!

Is there any interest for a season 14? Participation seems to have dropped off significantly in the past few months. Also, there doesn't seem to have been much engagement with the achievements or monthly challenges, not sure if this is general lack of interest or if it's the specific ones.

Thank you for running the thread! I would keep going for another season. Maybe we can hit the various model threads and see about raising some more participation? I really benefit from this because it keeps me painting each month, even if only a little bit.

I do enjoy the monthly themes, they are good for inspiration when I am not sure what I want to paint at all. I am terrible about the achievements, but that is more about me than them.

Hey so I was going to post a proposal for a much more casual approach, I was going to suggest just a new 'Painting Promise' thread with the following changes:
- No points, no achievements, no ranking
- Post unpainted figs for the promise, but don't need the timeserver screenshot
- No actual judging however pointing out what you like about other people's work is encouraged
- Maybe include the monthly challenges since those are often inspirational (but maybe randomized...)

I know for me, things like the achievements aren't as much of a driver after a few years, however I pretty much have a psychological dependency on just doing the oath every month to keep myself painting, and so just having a Painting Promise thread would be enough for me, and maybe fine for others too.

On the other hand, I'd be willing to pick up some admin work if that will help keep the thread going (and I do plenty of Excel IRL so I think I can deal with that.)

Thoughts?
I am definitely down with a more casual version; I have to admit that I don't worry at all about points and I am really terrible about following achievements. I would be down for posting unpainted figures with a pledge, then conclusion pictures when done - my preference is to keep it monthly but that can be changed if people like. We can probably say farewell to the judging, without points we get the same thing just acknowledging people directly.

I enjoy the monthly challenges - they help provide some inspiration when I don't know what I want to work on and encourage me to push on a miniature more than I might otherwise. So it would be cool if we could keep that (even just repeat the options from prior years if that's simpler)

Let's do the space-time warp again!

I would like to keep the Monthly Theme/Prompt as part of the thread, even if we don't require anyone to follow a monthly promise. So if you want to to make a pledge to complete something in a week, or by a specific tournament, that's fine, but we could still set each month to have a particular prompt for people who want the inspiration or challenge for it. I know personally it is something I really like in the threads.


I don't care too much about terms but for what it's worth I think we can keep calling it 'oaths' without any issue - no one owns that term, the threads have been through lots of organizers, and I doubt anyone cares seeing as we're the ones keeping up with it. If they have strong feelings they can come participate to get their say!
