Yeah I really like some of these infinity mini's and really want to get holdof some new ones (my oldies are trashed). Nice work as always BH.

The sword turned out beautifully Blackhand! Wow!

That infinity model is something special, and your modifications are done extremely well. Unfortunately I've discovered that no one in my area does infinity... so I guess it's either 40k or War Machine for me.

Very nice mods BH!

You shouldnt let that stop you Gits! Either you convince other people to play after showing them awesome models, or you have awesome models just for the fun of painting. A win win situation

Good point Vit. Perhaps if I make significant progress on the various and sundry 40k armies that I'm working on (or helping my boys work on), I'll feel better about starting a new system. Granted it's just a few models, but still... I have so much to do.

@Knightley - Thanks man, I am not sure if a crying baby is the same as coming under fire... no wait, its exactly like that!

@Santobell - Thanks mate, the new Infinity minis seem to be getting better and better, more detail and better proportions and its so nice to have dynamic poses!

@Gits - Thanks, and just as I hear rumours that GW are going to to split the starter box so that you only get one army and have to buy two boxes, Privateer Press releases a two army starting box with a Warcaster, 5 man unit and 2-3 Warjacks for both armies... seems a very nice way to have a try at Warmachine.

@Vitruvian - Thanks as well!

Good to see ya back Blackhand, babies sure can be fun that early.....although it's been a few years since I've had that pleasure.

Your mod of that infinity ninja is heaps better than the original, funnily enough I've also been looking at infinity since GW decided to price me out of the hobby.

The ninja looks like it would make a hell of a assassin too. might have to get one, they gw models are terribad.

@Perplexiti - Thanks, the GW price price helped justify our move to Infinity but tbh it was the smaller army size and hence less painting that attracted me most. This way I can bring my entire 10 man squad upstairs in a box and do my painting at the kitchen table and be closer to the girls.

@WM360 - Yep they would be a nice proxy for assassins... though I always thought some of the new Dark Eldar would look great in that role as well.....

Anyhoo got a bit more done on the Dreadknight, pretty close the finish line now









I am taking these pics with my phone camera as it has a higher resolution than my el cheapo camera, seems to be sharper anyway... unfortunately it flattens the reds and metallics something terrible, believe me there is a LOT more shading and highlighting than is readily apparent.

Oh and here is a pick of how many pieces the big fella is in, I figured he is taking a trip around the world so he will need to be packed as carefully as possible to avoid the fate that befell his terminator brothers who took a fair beating on their voyage.



Oh and the skull is only pinned on the end of the hilt so it can slide out of the "Doomfist" and the DK can be run without the sword.


C&C is welcome as always guys

Cheers

BLACKHAND

He looks fantastic Blackhand. That extra bit on the sword really stands out and was worth the effort.

Have you thought about something slightly less phallic to cover up his nether regions??

'-)

Thanks gits! :-/ now that's all i see!

Perhaps he should be called a "Rude Knight"?

Yeah, I'm still looking around at the moment.

And anything that gets you closer to kids is a good thing, I did some more painting with mine yesterday, my 6yr olds coming along ok, but my 4yr old still wants to do multi-coloured marines! They look kinda cool though.


Also I'd like to second nerdfest09, I didn't notice before, and now it's all I can see too!

And the ball joints for the legs work right into that mental image don't they??

Damn it Gits!

I think Blackhand is compensating for the fact that all the other people in his house are girls!

Haha @ Gits!

If you got it, flaunt it!

Damn you Gits! Um, I guess I can have a look through my bits box and track down a shield or something that will "De-Phaillify" the DK... damn even the acronym for DreadKnight is phallic!

Honestly I'm not doing it on purpose!

*chuckle*

I'm wondering of a panel from the chapterhouse heresy era drop pod armor would look good.

You don't happen to have one do you? Otherwise post a link to it and I may be able to jig one up out of plasticard.

Yeah, I bought enough for all my pods, and then decided not to use them (at least on 3 of them) so I can cover that. No worries.

Hehe, it's only fair Gits, espicially since you were the one to point it out...

Yes, and especially pertinent since I am the one who bought them... :-)

He's got a dick.

Here we were all beating around the bush, and BoA feels free to speak his mind

That aside, the paint job is looking pretty good Blackhand, I hope the new owner is as stoked as I would be to own it!

He is.

Good one Gits, you going to take them to any tourneys this year?

I'll need to finish them first. Blackhand's got them most of the way, but I want to get some special bases for them, need to finish the power weapons and add some fine details. They'll be ready to go by Christmas I guess, but since I have a number of other projects to do as well, it'll probably take me a bit to give them the careful attention they deserve.

Man, why am I double posting?? Never done that before and now twice in 1 day!

Sweet as, and good on you for paying for Blackhands girls to go to university!

Well that or more infinity minis....

He's going to be totally doting dad... God help the first boy that wants to date his eldest.

lol, yeah I'm feeling that. My girls only 4 and I'm already looking forward to tormenting any boys she brings round


Although having lived with her I also feel kinda sorry for them too.
