More good looking stuff!

Many good things, woot!

Your talk of earthy tones is kind of swaying me towards painting my QK in such browns (and possibly greens) meaning my Auglaciles and brigada from icestorm would be inclined towards the same color. It's that, or paint everything including the Ghulams white.

Much looking forward to whatever you come up with next, though I do love me some DZ zombies.

Looking good! Really digging the orange.

Thanks guys. I was going to post the Morats, but the update to Windows 10 on my computer is taking its sweet time and is preventing me from doing pretty much anything.

I can tell you though that tonight I primed 5 new zombies, 3 RAFM armored skeletons, 2 Menoth Idrian Skirmishers, and added basing material to 6 more 15mm figures, 1 anthropomorphic fox cleaned and primed, and I primed 1 mushroom man. Not much actual painting tonight, unfortunately.

Loving the Naffatuns! They're my favorite unit in Infinity.


Interesting conversions too. I'm totally going to steal some ideas!
::YOINK!::

Take, take. I borrowed the Al'Hawwa idwa, myself. Saw someone mention that conversion on the official Infinity boards, but never saw anyone actually do it.

Ahh yeah that boarding shotgun goes really well, doesn't it? I didn't even notice it was a conversion

I know it's the not the Morats, but I haven't shown anything weird on here in a while. Highlord Tamburlain backed Ganesha Games' Fightin' Fungi kickstarter (which was essentially Song of Blades and Heroes 2nd edition) which had a whole slew of humanoid fungus. He gave me one of the figures to paint and I got around to it today. So, yeah, here's a mushroom man. Because why not?



He's actually a good size, coming in just a bit shorter than a regular 28mm human.

I bet that was fungi to paint!

Nice work, but I wonder how long it takes for these puns to get mold.

Shame on both of you for punning around my mushroom man.

Fixed that for you

Alright, this isn't the best conversion I've done, but I think it'll be serviceable. This is what I did with the leftover arms from the Al'Hawwa and the body of the leftover Janissary.



Now, I'm not a good sculptor. Like, at all. I'd wanted him to look at least a little different from the regular Janissary besides having different arms and frankly, I don't like the face sculpt of the current AP Rifle Janissary. So, I tried to sculpt a featureless visor over his helmet. I wanted it to kind of look like he's got some sort of HUD mounted onto his helmet. It's extremely rough looking though, even from a distance. I think that, again, it'll be serviceable though. An odd note, the male Al'Hawwa must have cybernetic hands. Both hands only have 4 fingers apiece. Hence the reason I painted them silver on this guy.

Oh, I actually finally got to play my very first game of Infinity tonight! I played the intro mission of Operation Ice Storm with my cousin. Simplistic and quick, but it was fun. Plus, I actually managed to win. Naturally, I played the Nomads. Only lost one guy who was covering the central buildings from atop some containers. He even managed to take out a Fusilier before getting capped himself. The Alguacile girl pulled off a lovely flanking move that won me the game, too. Now I've got to get the Mobile Brigada finished in time for the next match.

Highlord Tamburlaine has also been talking about playing Frostgrave, so I'm throwing together a warband for that using my Menoth figures. I just finished a pair of Idrian Skirmishers that I'll be using as crossbowmen.



So, I'm actually ready to throw down.

Grats on getting to play!

Janissary looks like he's gonna throw a fireball, works for me!

Yeah, your Janissary does look like he's charging a hadouken. Totally acceptable!

Your Skirmishers came out really nice. So nice in fact that I may end up keeping the blister of them I bought and take a crack at them. Really impressed with them. You even bothered to do something with their bases! Shocking!

Too bad you can't have a Jannissary hacker or 'd be set!

Really? I thought they could. Oh well. Maybe he's controlling a Tinbot?

Won't stop me from using him anyway.

Well, I got my stuff from the second Afterlife Kickstarter a couple days ago. I want to hold off on working on them for a bit, but I couldn't resist working on some of the new units. I had to do one of the new Republic Pulse Mechs. So, I chose the fire support variant. These are actually event better quality than the minis from the first Kickstarter.



I've got a second Pulse Mech soaking in the Simple Green right now. I'll probably paint it up soon. Might also paint up the Republic and Unity Council female operatives. I also may not be doing the rest of my Republic troops in these colors. I haven't decided just yet.

Well, I finally got to painting my Mobile Brigada from Operation: Ice Storm. I kept him pretty plain this time around. He'll have some lights on him when he's done and I may add some striping as well. Not sure on that yet, but for now I'm happy with him. As usual, thanks to the poor lighting in my house when I take these pictures, the picture doesn't show the paintjob all that well, so the highlighting I did on him is kind of lost here. His armor has a better sense of depth than these pictures show. He should be completely finished by the time I get to play Mission 2 of Operation: Ice Storm.



Got a supply drop yesterday, too. Got my Stonehaven order and some new Infinity minis from Miniature Market.



I didn't know they were updating the little cards that came with the figures. I still wish they'd put the figures' stat lines on the cards. It'd be a helpful reference.

Good stuff, I need to do my own brigada.

I got the little ikadron and imetron blister too.

Got my Basius basing pad from their second KS last night. I'm going to have to put it to use soon. Probably try it out on some Afterlife figures. Speaking of, I'll start working on the pair of female bonus figures tonight.

Started working on my Stonehaven stuff, Haqqislam Sekbans, a Batroid, and the Imetron last night. Expect a fantasy update tonight though.

Love the Brigada! Looking forward to the Anvil stuff!

Well, I said I was going to put this update up Friday night. It's now technically very early Saturday morning. Painting Infinity stuff and Dead Island put me behind schedule. BUT, I am putting it up!

So, I mentioned I had bought the female Half-Orc Necromancer from Stonehaven. She was there with the Kitsune Assassin in the haul photo. Well, I'd really liked the design of the figure when I saw the concept art, so I really wanted to work on her straight away. I pretty much spent my Thursday night painting her. Nearly finished her, too. I put the final touches on Friday night and now she's ready for presentation!




The detail on her sculpt is great and I really like her costume design. Stonehaven got some pretty good designs out of the half-orc Kickstarter. I love the Chinese looking armor and weapon and the hat is a nice touch. She's pretty much spot on to her concept art, too. Except for one thing. Her face.



Don't get me wrong, the face has a good sculpt. The problem is that it doesn't really match the concept artwork. Everything is spot on, except her face. The artwork made her look much younger, while the actual sculpt makes her look like she's middle-aged. She also had a really cocky smirk in the art that's sadly missing from the final sculpt.

As you can see, she's got a couple of minions with her. These boney fellows are from RAFM. Nice sculpts, actually.

Sword guy


Pick guy


There's a third swordsman one that looks like a barbarian that came with them, but I haven't gotten to him yet. These figures are actually pretty bulky. I like their dinged up heavy armor. The fact that they are wearing so much armor is a big plus in my book.

Last but not least, I have my Cygnar Sword Knights. I've no intention of ever actually playing Cygnar. I just really like the designs of these guys. They look like enemies Alucard should be fighting in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.



These two will be serving duty in Frostgrave as regular Knights and probably in A Song of Blades and Heroes. I'd wanted to do a full Menoth warband in Frostgrave, but until I can get a pair of Exemplar Errant figures, these guys will just have to do.

Here's everyone together.



That's almost a proper Frostgrave warband right there.

I like them! Her pose with that hand looks like she's going: "What the Hell?!" lol

Very nice. I love me some RAFM minis!

Looks like shes gonna sweep her raised hand in to a 'sic em' point or something. Everything looks great, nice work

Chunky skeletons and neat fully armored chunky knights. Good stuff.

Your necromancer looks good.

I wish Stonehaven would put a little more meat on their figures' bones, so to speak. They always have such characterful sculpts and designs, but some of that stuff is so flat!

The half orc campaign was their best one, I think.

Can't wait to whoop those guys!

While I've been working on more Infinity, I've dabbled a bit more into my small pile of 15mm figures. I finished off the remaining figures from the Rangers Project Kickstarter, did the pair of Clear Horizon Spec Ops I've got, and did a couple more Rebel Minis zombies.

I really like the designs of the Rangers Project guys. The final two figures were a sniper and what appears to be a running shotgunner.



I wish i could get these figures in 28mm. Great designs for them. But, I'd rather not have to go through the drama that I went through to get this bunch.

and here's the full team



When Clearhorizon was doing the preorders for the Nemesis Light Strike Vehicles and the small dropship, they were offering a pair of spec-ops figures as a bonus. I got my pair painted up. They're actually a much better match to the scale of the Rangers Porject figures than the Rebel Minis zombies.



Technically, the girl is supposed to be wearing a hood, but I thought it would look better if I painted it as hair. At this small scale, you can't really tell the difference.

And here's my newest chunky Rebel Minis zombies.



It's interesting the varying sculpt quality on the Rebel Minis figures. You can tell that they've been sculpted by different people. The zombies are much chunkier than any of the human figures. Their proportions are very different compared to the special forces figures I got alongside them. The nice thing about the zombies though is that I can really just slap paint on them and drench them with a wash and they look perfectly good. no need to go into much detail with them.

Alright, got around to taking some pics of recent Combined Army work. As usual, I blame any shortcomings with my paintjobs and photography on my lighting and it being terrible.

So, Kornak Gazarot. I was never happy with his grey face. So, I went ahead and just gave him a red face like the other Morats.



Part of the problem was that so little of his face was visible to begin with, it wound up not looking like a proper Morat face at all. I kind of think I could have gotten away with painting it up like a mask.

My Sogarat.



I attempted to make his blade look a little more interesting. My linework is a bit sloppy, but I think it's good enough for the tabletop.

The alien robot baggage handler I got from Miniature Market's sale.



I like his overall design. It looks like it was very heavily influenced by the Quedluun Rau female Power Armors from Macross. I think this set might also be the cheapest Remote in terms of pricing in the entire line. I may have to get another one.

And here's the Batroid's pet palm tree, the Imetron.



I also started work on my Sekban box. Got the first guy done.
Here's the Chain Pistol Sekban.

Great stuff! I can't get myself to like morats as much as the other CA stuff but I enjoy seeing your results with them. 15 mm stuff is cool too.
