I vote KTS and/or Bakunin, very different from what you but still useable and somewhat coherent with it.

Looking forward to your takes on PanO and YJ as well!

All of those things sound great ckig. I'd love to see you do the remotes, the observance, the freaky side of bakunin, or the kaplans Those are some of my favorite infinity minis and I have or intend to buy the lot of what you're considering aside from more corregidor.

Sputniks will be kind of similar to your Geckos I'm thinking.
Paint the observance ladies if you wanna paint capes and some skin.
Paint the morlocks and chimera if you wanna do some fur and a lot of different colors.
Paint the Kaplans if you want a nice stormtrooper/professional/srs-bidness soldier vibe.

Oh new page! Here's the question again for the new page:

And after my gecko's done I'm all out of nomads . What to do? Get more nomads!
Wondering how I should expand. I have a few options in mind:

Option 1: Some robots. Sputnik remotes. Lunokhod and/or tsyklons. Best looking REMs imo. Pros: something different to infantry and TAGs, no scale issues with the bots, crazy koalas!

Option 2: Expand into Bakunin. Moiras and the custodier. Love their theme and my reverend healer won't look so out of place with these gals. Custodier is one of my favourite minis too.

Option 3: More Corregidor! Wait for the alguacile swc box and the hellcats blister. New alguaciles are great and very nice to paint.

Option 4: Bran, morlocks, uberfallkommandos. Hmm while I prefer the spacey look of the rest of the nomad range, these guys would be fun to paint I think. Each one is a very unique model, it'll be a challenge to paint the different skins, furs, etc. Plus I love the monkey king!

Option 5: Kaplans box and blister, then I can make a Qapu Khalqi list and it's my gateway into Haqqislam (uh-oh another faction D: ) Kaplans are cool. Mercs are cool in general heh.

What do you guys think? I guess I'm asking from a p&m perspective but maybe I'll ask over in the infinity subforum too for advice.

Good points paradigm!

hahaha Grim i love how you picked 4/5 options xD. I do intend to get them all eventually as well hehe. But atm.. hard to choose!

MOAR GECKOS that's the option that you should take .

No Seriously, more geckos

Im starting to get into Infinity this time a round, one of my Nomads is getting painted up as cyclops from the x-men.

Argh! I could have sworn I replied when you posted Mr Gecko! Well better late than never...

He's outstanding mate, absolutely beautiful job and I can't wait to see Mrs Gecko. I can understand how you might be a touch burnt out after it though so I'll be interested to see what happens in the mean time.

As to your question; there is only two right answers in any given situation. Bakunin or Gecko. So Bakunin it must be.

Hey guys! Apologies for the lack of updates Quite busy this time of the year. You know, family, presents and stuff. I know I'm just making excuses though

Hope you're all enjoying the holiday season

@ Theo: Hehe, well more gecko's could definitely happen in the future at some point. Can't get enough of them. xD

@ Miss Dee: Hah! That sounds like an awesome idea! I'd love to see it done

@ Casey: No problem! Actually I've been working a lot on my gecko. I haven't been totally idle! Must finish my nomads before the end of the year. :p

Guess I'll probably pick up some bakunin next! Moiras are looking good in N3.

Update #23: Another Gecko on its way!

So here's my next Gecko. Almost done! Actually a bit further done than this as I've been painting the last arm and chain colt bit separately. Wanted to show this pic seeing as how the front will get all covered up once it's all assembled.


Back view. Same as the other one I guess heh.


So once this is done there's some Pano coming up. This is how I'm thinking of doing the blue:

Base: Signal blue
Highlight: Prussian blue
Progressive Highlights: + Ivory
Top Highlights: White

Will be painting a fusilier to test this out and see how it goes. Other option is to use turqoise as a base instead like the blue on my nomads.

Hmm I'm gonna update the first post with the colours I use for my nomads as well so I don't forget when I come back to them (and for anyone else who's interested I guess )

Anyway thanks for reading. Oh and Happy Holidays everyone

Damn!!!!! That Gecko looks amazing!

I'd say go Bakunin..
The Observance minis are great for painting..
Might just be personal taste speaking here.. :p

You have definately nailed these, looks brilliant.

Yep, I'll be turbo jealous if you can do the same with Pan-O that you've done with your excellent Nomads

Mate, you're tooo good, stop it.

Aw. Thanks guys! Glad you like it even though it's a bit samey as the last one ^^

@ Tjomball: Well you have good tastes sir! I think I've seen some of your stuff around here and it looks great! So I'll take your word for it

#24 Geckos at last!

Alrighty! Finished my Gecko up finally. That's the last of my nomads done. For now..

Here it is:

And here's Mr and Mrs Gecko together:


What a lovely couple <3


Hope you guys like it. Had a great time on my nomads. Alas, now it is time to move on.. but I'll be back with more of them soon enough though

Thanks for stopping by!

Wow! What's better than 1 beautiful gecko? 2 beautiful geckos!

Needs a TAG group shot with the Iggy and his smaller cousins!

^I second Para. And those are both fantastic Wonderful. Moar! Give us Moar!

Proving you hadn't just done it by chance, you did it again!

It doesn't look better than the first one - don't think it could -, but looks as awesome! And the family photo - I'd gone with twins, but Mr and Ms will do - is ace.

Nicely done. For filthy Space Hippie stuff Awaiting a family shot, of course.

Thanks guys! ^^ I appreciate it.

And since you asked:

Here's some pics of my collection all together with Icestorm backdrop...becauuuse.. that's the only terrain I have lol.

TAG Powa!

I was going to touch up the Iguana instead before taking a pic but then you'd have to wait a while lol. This pic shows the difference between my early minis I think. Needs more shiny!

Corregidor family. Hard to photograph red. Hope it's ok D:

Its a bit shiny. May have to click to zoom :x

Very nice collection there! Whoever you get to play against is in for a treat!

He "hopes its okay"

Wow, amazing work. I'd be jealous of your old method, but then seeing your more recent work stop being so good.

Such great painting, brilliant stuff.

Yep. Fantastic. /jealous

The old tag isn't quite as bling as the other two, but he's still rock solid.

Yeah that is just a gorgeous looking force, clearly you should send some photos to Mr Giraldez and give him a fright that his job isn't as secure as he thought!

Wow fab stuff.

I too, wonder who that will be lol. Need to find some peeps to play with heh.

Haha what a compliment! Thanks! He's a totally different league but I appreciate it. Will get there though! I am tryin'.

Thank you ^^

Not much infinity to report unfortunately. Actually been messing around with some LotR stuff. I'm gonna need another blog I think :x

Those Geckos look amazing. I am very jealous of your nomads.

Love the shiny highlights, very JJ Abrams camera flare

Is that a Nomad-Psyduck? That's awesome

Woo-eee!

Some amazing models there! I really enjoyed seeing them, the Geckos are obv the big standout, absolutely A1 job there! But I also liked the Zondcat's paintjob, especially around the engine areas, and my favorite takeaway from reading everything was your point on mindset and how you feel your current mentality can affect your paintjobs. I am going to take this to heart and stop painting if/when it feels like work, or take a quick break and blast a couple of my favorite tunes or something to pick me up mentally.

Thanks for posting!
