Good job on the skin tones. I found it tricky to find the right paints when I first tried, what with not having an easy reference to hand...

Red and black are looking good. The red could maybe do with a further highlight, but that's all I can pick at for the moment.

That's one of the 'nice' things about Infinity, even paying full retail prices you can pick up multiple factions for the investment of a single unoptimized 40k army. It'll depend on how many box sets you buy and blah blah, but you can afford to differentiate too. And even for a single faction, buying a new Intruder for your Corrigedor dudes would be like buying a new predator 10 man assault squad, can totally change the dynamic of your list and it only puts you out around ten bucks

Tell me about it... I'm neck deep in the little white-metal bastards already and I haven't even played Keep looking for more on the cheap too...

Nicely done halved colour scheme, red-and-blacks coming along great. And skin tone looks very good too.

Looking really nice there Theo, the red and black scheme works a treat

You never saw vehicles in 2nd ed? I've only ever played RT and we managed to use a fair few

Oh we had vehicles in second edition, but it was not the same as current gameplay where every squad has a transport, tanks everywhere, and more vehicle centric armies. I did have my reaver titan back then so there was much stomping and guard had tanks, but not every army had their tank formations like they are now.

Well Spectre is done.....for now. I'm sure I'll revisit all the models eventually, but for right now I'm trying to get them all to my tabletop quality, then can work them up further from there.


Thinking of making a trip to miniaturemarket, might just double the size of my nomads in one shot by buying the Corregidor army box. Also have returns to do at other stores while I'm out, so we'll see what happens.

Edit: I'm baaaaaaaaack

And these followed me home

Damnit. I've been holding off buying one of those for months but watching you paint it may destroy my resolve entirely.

Spektr looks awesome too BTW.

Spectre looks good...what are you planning base-wise for these guys?

There is a certain appeal and charm to some of the Infinity factions, I think the low tech humans of Ariadne may be good adds for my army if I use them as Khadrovians. And the Haqqislam also have that mid tech look.

Looking good so far Theo, the Corregidor box set looks nice. I have that on my want list as well and also the box with the panda bots they sound fun.

Haha! Oh wait, you already got some painted. Now I feel bad mine are only primed. Looking good with the paint.

They are not tiny, they are in scale, and if you place them next to those GW troglodytes, you'll see that they are generally taller. And much much better looking.

The one Alguacil is the Latino Alguacil according to Bostria/ Carlos Llauger of CB, one of their artists and the PR guy.

So your army so far (just the listing. Do not use this in actual play) is
NOMADS
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

GROUP 1 10 0 0

ALGUACIL Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (10)

GROUP 2 1 0 0

SPEKTR Combi Rifle + Light Shotgun, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (33)

Plus the Reverend-Healer 33 points and the grenzer at 32 points
3 SWC | 310 Points

Open with Army 4

Beginner games are at 150 points or so. 300 points are for full-scale games. Hmm, you have all the minis you need already to play full scale games, but you will probably do a bit a proxying to represent different weapon types. And add to the collection.

And you see how easy it is to have more than one faction...

@Cam. Go slowly with the assembly. Do not throw anything away from the box until you are sure it is not needed. There are some fairly small pieces to those minis-- like the antennae on the Mobile Brigada, for example.

Hmm....looking good Theo! Reminds me of my Ariadna that isn't painted.

Nice looking spektr! I'll be painting my one up soon too

and welcome to corregidor!

Ho ho! But Spektrs are Tunguska!

Haha! Well... If you swap this head with cornrows alguacile, green stuff a scarf around his neck, put an antenna on his back and give him some koalas...you got a nice modern version of this guy:



Tadaa! Corregidor!

Bwahaha. I have that guy, I like him.

Besides your original statement stands anyway as he's got Icestorm *and* the corregidor starter too

Can't resist painting this guy to look like deathstroke. I need to find some suitable swords for his back though.

Well back to school work, just a quick break to recharge.

Kromleck do some katanas, probably too chunky for infinity though.

Looks brilliant, love the look of this with the colour scheme, just spot on.

Probably way off scale, but I picked up some katana's from Brickarms, they are for Lego figures, my son collects Lego stuff, got some awesome weapons, but the Katana's would be not far off, I got mine for my orks soth cale is pretty good. the only thing that would look off maybe would be the handles.

Just a thought.

Thanks joe and Cam , but I think I'll be digging out my bag of L5R (legend of the 5 rings/ clan war) figs and stealing some swords from there. I think they might be appropriate scale as well.

The half-half colours you got going across your minis is great. Keep it up!

Yes, Samurai or neo Greek swords work. Deathstroke in the series Arrow has the Neo-Greek ones that look more like from the 300, heavy looking towars the last 3rd of the weapon, like a sword met an axe/cleaver kind of.

Thanks cig, I like the split pattern popping up here and there as well.

Sorry guys for the lack of responding to each of your comments. Very little time. As soon as dinner is done cooking then I have to scarf and barf, head to school, and then get home to finish other projects tonight so Halloween can happen tomorrow.

No pics right now, not enough progress. Just did some dark grey tones on the black. Did want to say that I got the missing arm for Achiles from Corvus Beli today. They will replace the motorcycle girls arm if I place an order from them(I requested that one at a different time and it didn't have the packing numbers with it), but shipping from them is €12.00, which is too much for me , I'll just look for an arm I can swap for her.

And of course

I had a go at carving a sword like that from sprue a while ago.


I should get around to finishing all those weapons off (and build a weapon stand for them) like I said I was going to... ages ago...

Waiting for class to start (physical class, not gonna wait for something classy in this thread )

Shaso, oh if I were single with no kids.....I still have my Naginata boxed up somewhere. It looks like a toothpick next to me though.
Dr. H, I remember your sword crafting from sprue, along with your statuette. , mad skill for the mad doctor.

Missed class last week(dead tired, lousy weather and my wife was going to have to drag the kids to an outdoor soccer game while she coached). One of the other students just told me we have a test tonight . Oh well we get to drop our lowest test score. Not that this test should be difficult.

I think the split pattern on each model might make the whole army cohesive, while also making each model unique.

I read so little of DC comics growing up, but I liked the concept of the royal flush gang. I thought of making them each have a card on their armor somewhere.

With the amount of sprue you have laying about, you could be a master sprue carver; plenty to practice on.

Good luck with the test.

Good luck on your test. So you work, do church stuff, and attend school? How do you even have time to type at us! Amazed at how much some people can fit into their day.

Do it! If you don't I will (once I get corrigedor stuff), I also have a minor liking for the RFG and black/white (maybe a bit of red) are great colors for the dirty corrigedor nomads

What a lot of fun that read was! Your blog has been sitting and patiently waiting on me for so long I can't remember adding it to my list. It's now been moved to it's rightful location in my Exalted list so I can keep updated on what your doing! Hopefully a lot more Infinity which is obviously a bit of a weak spot for me.

Well I got a C on the test....and the best score in the class. The teacher prides himself on trick questions, and then curves the grade , really??? What's the point except showing how awesome you are.

Kids are super excited for Halloween, and the twins woke up an hour and a half early....which means I'm up then too . So I went to paint in protest as they played and got costumes on.

Very nice!
