How to Pledge and Rules for Pledging

How to Pledge

1. Obtain 1 unpainted or simply primed model from the Iron Kingdoms, Hordes/Warmachine, Warhammer/40k, or Infinity lines of miniatures
2. Take a picture of said model(s) before you start painting in front of a smartphone or computer screen that clearly shows the current date and time using this website and only this website:
   
   NEW Only in the event that you are pledging a speed painted model that you are required to photo the model before and after in front of the current date and time. Use World Time Server
   
   
3. Post the picture, along with bolded text in some form of "I, [username] oath/vow/swear upon my children's children's chridren to paint the following in [current month]: (List the amount and model(s) that you intend to paint. Make sure they are clearly featured in the picture you post)
4. Don't start painting until Bieltan or Bryan reply with "Accepted"
5. Once accepted start painting!!
6. When you have completed the model, post "Oath Complete" (including bold font), followed by a photo of the model with the date and time in the background from www.worldtimeserver.com/index.aspx

Example Oath Post:
I, Bieltan do hereby swear to paint the following in March: (1) Koldun Lord


Please Note the model is clearly visible as well as the location, date & time.



Rules for Pledging

• Oaths must be submitted 2 days prior to the end of the month
• A fully painted model is defined by Privateer Press "For a model to count for hobby points it must be primed, basecoated, and painted with a reasonable diversity of color. Individual elements of the miniature must be distinguishable by color or shading. For instance, flesh must be a different color than hair or clothing; metal should be a different color than leather"
• So you committed to an oath and you broke it. Well now we legally own your Children's children's children. Congrats, they will now join our future slave army of painters. BUT if your liniage is important to you, we will offer you a opportunity to keep your future family members out of our painting sweatshops. To do so just post within the thread "REANIMATION" and attach your finished model with date & time as described above. All reanimation models do not add to your overall points, but enter you into the "Please don't take my children" prize pool at the end of the year.
