The krew was starting to get more nervous the longer the Kaptain went missing. They were testing out some new dakka on the 'deff' setting when a squad of Necron Warriors teleported all about them. The surprise ambush gave them the advantage, and in the confusion of it all, a pair of Necrons sedated then teleported away with the Kaptain. The rest of the warriors disappeared in their own green pulses of light, and the krew was left with little clue as to where they might have taken him. For days they krumped everything they could in search of answers, but to no avail and it was beginning to seem hopeless.
Time went on and the krew struggled to resume a normal life without Kurk. They had finished a trade mission with an imperial outpost (and made a good deal for all their dakka with only a few boyz lost) when the Orkerprise lit up with warning sirens. A massive Necron vessel appeared off starboard through a whirling green portal and hailed them. Silence fell upon everyone as they stared at the half-ork, half-necron abomination that used to be their Kaptain filled the viewscreen.
The cybernetic entity slowly panned its head back and forth across the bridge krew before speaking in an eerily tinny voice. "I am Scarabus of Necron. Resistance is futile. Your life as it has been is over. From dis time forward, you will service us."
Bonez let out what can only be described as a squeel of anger and furiously started waving and pointing at all the Kaptain's Necron parts. "How could ya do this to us Kaptain?!? You done find da Mork-load of gubbins and you don't even share a single screw with a git?"
Vulkan smashed the butt of his spear into a bulkhead, creating a metal clang that silenced and grabbed the attention of the orks. Powering up the spear, the red glow only accentuated the rage he was trying to keep hidden. "Come on boyz. It's time we loot the Kaptain!"
December brings us many things to the contest this year! First off, as our gift to you this holiday season (and my birthday re-gift), we are bringing back Amnesty Month! That's right! You can oath your partially painted stuff for a single point instead of two for December. Sushi will do his usual bit on approval for images if you're worried it's 'too painted' but went pretty smooth last time.
Remember a few months back how I wanted you to remove something from your models, but didn't want it to be a kit-bash? Well I hope you enjoyed the practice because this is officially conversion month! What I'd like to see is about a third of the original model come from something else. Kit-bash some Nob bikers. Pull out the plasticard and make a chin-ork. Green stuff some nurgly tentacle legs. Go nuts! The 1/3 figure is a rough estimate, and really just to avoid this being something minor like a head swap. On top of doing some conversion work, I have an extra task to bulk up this quarterly challenge: Record your efforts! Include at least 3 images (or a link to a video/animated gif fest) of your conversion WIP's as you're building it. Alternately if it's already assembled, get some nice close ups showing just what you did for the conversion. Remember to post your WIP's in your Oath Complete! post so I can keep track of them easier and award you points/prizes!
Since it's a little extra work, and I want people to have some extra time to get the conversion stuff done you're getting this monthly category early! However, DO NOT POST December oaths until Nov 24th!!! It'll be more than a little confusing trying to do 2 months of submitted oaths together, so please wait until the deadline for November submitting has ended. Since December is a quarterly event, please remember that you will only be eligible for quarterly prizes if you do the Kaptain's Log!
