Hi,
After I finished my PanO it´s time to work on my lovely Combined Army. I made some of them some time ago, but now I´ll repaint some of them (some of them looking awful IMO)...Have fun!

Here´s a group shot of my Morat Force. I wanted to have a good but more natural color scheme than the original one...



And here some pictores of the single models...















Now my Shaasvasti are wainting...











I like them much more than the Morat, they are so wonderful evil guys with really ill special rules...Yesterday I ordered a lot of new blisters an boxes to fulfill my collection. In the next days there will arrive a Skaivoros, an Anathematic, Drones and some mor superevil stuff....

Right now I´m working on my Sphinx...



Hope you like it. C&C allways welcome!

Are you TRYING to make me envious!

They look fantastic man. Please get those into the show off section of the site so Infinity is represented! Move over orks! The Morats are in town!

VERY nice Combined Army stuff here - I might borrow some of your MOrat color schemes too!

You´re welcome! I have to say I´m not very experienced in playing the Moratas stand alone army. But now I´ll give them a try. Right now I´m working on a Yaogat Link team. I think theese guys are awesome. Morat seem to be real brutal bastards hammering down the enemy. I will make some games to look what they can do.

You have some absolutely wonderful models!

I just saw your PanOceania stuff as well! Shame on this world for ignoring such wonderful work. You should ressurect that Plog with the addition of these models and make note of it in the Infinity P&M Thread in this section so people will know to look for it. It is a travesty that should not happen again!


On a note for the morats... you have a great bit of detail on these guys, but you skipped out on the eyes? Going to go back and do that later?


Medusa´s Combined Army @ 2012/11/12 07:24:03


Post by: medusa


Thank you very much. I´ll do the eyes later that´s right. Right now I´m searching for a good color scheme for the Sasvastii...I´m trying and trying but I´m not happy with them...

right now I have this and it starts looking good...

Gwailos (still WIP, the grey is still missing on the armor)

Right now I´m thinking about the bases of my Combined. I´ll change the Morat Bases and do Dead Earth bases to all of them...



Enjoy!

You´re right. I like the colors for the Combined. I´ll use a blue-grey like I did on the Aswang above on the Gwailos to get more contrast...They are a bit too tone in tone (mmmhhh...I´m not a native speaker, hope it´s understandable...). They grey will also be used for all AI-elements of my Combined like the Anathematic and the over evil robots...

Didn't go for the tentacle knives from the head on the Anathematic?

I didn't like them coming out of the head so I made them come out of his back.

Post by: medusa


Here´s another update...I´d like to get my sh.. done.

First of all...the Anathematic. I added green to the armor, I wanted to have another color not making him too bright or colorful...hope you like him...







The tentacles are hell to glue, I´ll have to pin them I think...

Next is the Skaivoros, this is a WIP, but I´m in trouble with this little guy. Think I didn´t do it well this time, the colors don´t fit to the model. I perhaps will strip it and paint it again, giving him a more green color like the Shavastiis I painted in this block. Perhaps you could help me with my decision...what do you think? Should I start again or just leave it and do more detail on the edges and son on?






Have fun! I´m always happy for critics and comments!


Medusa´s Combined Army @ 2013/06/25 12:46:48


Post by: Pacific


Both of them are great, but that Anathematic.... wow.. just wow..

It's one of my favourite models, think you have definitely done it justice!

You know, I was planning a slick blue, white and grey scheme for my Morats. Then I saw this thread and now that plan is out the window. The bone and purple looks great on them. I am totally stealing that scheme. Just one question, did you use only a brown wash, or did you use other colored washes on them as well?

You´re welcome. I´m happy to inspire you ;-)

I used Vallejo Game and Model Colors for the Morat. First Khaki washed with GW Griffon sepia. Right now it´s out of stock I use Army Painter Wash Soft Tone. The I highlight the color with Ice Blue, using more and more of it for every layer. If you like I´ll do a tutorial when I´m working on the next Morat...


Medusa´s Combined Army @ 2013/06/26 15:20:13


Post by: Barzam


Please do. Those colors work really well on them. So you used Ice Blue? I couldn't even tell. Thanks.


Medusa´s Combined Army @ 2013/06/28 14:26:45


Post by: medusa


So...here comes the Skaivoros. I had some issues with this guy, but I changed the grey to get a softer contrast than the step before. Now he´s looking nice I think. I hope you like him. I think all my AI stuff should look like Skai and the Anathematic, they are grim beasts and should look like that. I will use this colors for the other AIs too. Hope they will look nice wihtin the other Combined stuff. I´ll have to change the bases I did, don´t think the grey will fit to the AIs. I will experiment with that later. I think I´ll do some red brown or something like that.







So, now for the tutorial. I have some Daturazi here I wanted to paint for a longer time. Here we go. I´m not used to make tutorials and not a native speaker so foregive me if I´m not very good in doing it.

step 1:
I cover all parts of the armor with Vallejo Khaki and wash it with Griffon Sepia or Army Painter Soft Tone.



step 2:
I use Khaki again just painting the higher parts of the armor, So I quickly get some shadow.



step 3:
Now I´m starting to mix a small amount of Vallejo Ice Blue into the Khaki and use it again over the higher parts, just leaving a little bit of the pure Khaki...



step 4t-6t:
I´m mixing more and more Ice Blue to the Khaki and use thin layers onto the armor.







step 7:
Now I just do the edges with Iceblue with a small amount of Khaki



step 8
I use pure Ice Blue for the last details...



And voila! There comes the Daturazi (still WIP but you can see the ready armor)



As you can see I don´t use too much colors, here I just used two and a wash. So it´s not complicated using it for all Morats out there...

Hope you like it.

That actually doesn't seem to difficult to replicate. Thanks a lot for the tutorial. When I'm able to work on my Morats, I'll have to give this a go.

Post by: medusa


No, it´s really easy. I´m painting since ages now, but I´m not confident enough to use blending...perhaps I should try some time.

Thanks. The last days I was buisy rebasing my complete Combined stuff. Thought it was time to get nice bases for all of them. This was a bit complicated cause I had to find a color that would fit for the different colors of the army. So I went for a Terracotta...hope you like it. I will post the rest of all the other minis later on.

Shasvastii























Rest







Right now I´m thinking about redoing some parts like edges and so on. But I like the new bases and their style...Hope you like them too. C&C are really welcome...

Thanks mate! This is exactly what I tried to do. I wanted to give all different parts of CA a different look but it was necessary to get an unique feeling for all of them when playing a vanilla list. So I hope the bases and the colors like purple or green will make them look united.

Hey, Great stuff! I like the purple armor, may even have to snag the idea for a few of my Shasvastii if you don't mind. Ill second what CDK said, the variety in color scheme is nice and helps define each type of model.

How did you make the Gwailos shields?I have 3 of them coming in the mail and would love to make some shields for them. I was going to paint on some plastic wrap and dunk it in acrylic glaze, then let it dry hanging from a wire to harden..this looks much easier though.

Seed soldiers are so cool looking, seems people give them a lot of hate over on the CB forums in terms of gameplay but still one of the cooler looking sculpts imo.

Thanks a lot. Of course take ideas, I´m happy inspiring people doing Infinity stuff ;-)

The shields where part of the blisters, every Gwailo came with two shields (one orange, one purple). Like the hacker´s hacking shields. I just cut it out and glued it to the bases. Later I put some of this nice dead earth putty on the bases and painted them, voila!

I like the seeds look too but they are one of the crappiest line infantry in the game IMO. When I play Shas I don´t use them much and in Vanilla lists I take Morat. They are fluffwise cool stuff but the just pop out in the second turn making them handle difficult...And they aren´t a very good link team. But I played a lot of Morat in the last months in our Paradiso campaign, I will give them a try again...

Don´t think so...
"The Seed-Embryo stands still, without moving, giving one Order to the Order Reserve of its army until its player’s second turn, or until the next player’s turn following its deployment."


Medusa´s Combined Army @ 2013/07/20 17:39:30


Post by: Victor.Drellings


Turn following its deployment, so if i deploy first then my opponent goes first for the first turn, that first turn is the turn following the seeds deployment, thus hatching on my first turn.

also if he decides to shoot at your seed prior to your first turn or act against it, it instantly hatches during his turn and reacts as normal. Or so it seems based on a very literal reading of the rules.

I may be wrong but idk.

mmm rocket launcher. I may still be wrong but what I think it is, is not strictly a disadvantage and being forced to miss a turn with them but perhaps a reason for Shas to go second in a game over first.

Hope we get more Caliban sculpts soon ! How do you like the Gwailos?

I like them. I love the models and they are a bit different to the creepy Camo guys. It´s a bit sad to get only a 4-man-link with them now but it´s a nice opportunity to use sheskiin. Think, they are the only ones like a brick in the Shas lists (except the Sphinx, the wonderful Sphinx). I like the Nano Screen idea and the weapons they got even if they are a bit expensive...

Is his gun too bright do you think? I couldn't figure out what kind of weapon it even is. I figured it was probably an energy weapon and just painted as such. I think I did lose a bit of the detailing on him though on account of a mishap with my glue going nuts out of the bottle and my primer possibly going on too thick. I actually did highlight his exposed skin on his feet and face, but my lighting wasn't the best when I took those pictures.

Thanks for the kind words though.

It's an "HMG" analogue (their combi rifles look more "normal" ).

Although having it be a coilgun version instead of our primitive chemical slug throwers is Skiffy enough - even though Morats are only supposed to be at the contemporary human tech level.

Is his gun too bright do you think? I couldn't figure out what kind of weapon it even is. I figured it was probably an energy weapon and just painted as such. I think I did lose a bit of the detailing on him though on account of a mishap with my glue going nuts out of the bottle and my primer possibly going on too thick. I actually did highlight his exposed skin on his feet and face, but my lighting wasn't the best when I took those pictures.

Thanks for the kind words though.


No. I do not think it is too bright. Works wellIMO. I often get too dark with my colors. I am a bit too lazy doing a lot of layers and often forget to do hard edges. I try but theres so much stuff to do and I like darker tones for CA. Your glowing HMG is very nice. I think e en the Morat are no tech race they work a very long time for the EI and it will have given them weapons and equipment to solve their tasks. Working for a super intelligence will bring some nice features like weapon technology and other stuff. That is the reason I paint all my Combined weapons in the same dark grey and glowing green like I paint the aspects of the EI. Think the EI will produce the army's weapons and give them to them...

Lovely drones, medusa. Sorry if you explained this before and I've forgotten but how do you do those bases?


Medusa´s Combined Army @ 2013/07/24 12:27:18


Post by: medusa


Thanks mate!
The bases are done with a special modelling putty, I´ll check that. When the stuff gets hard it gets this nice dead earth look. That´s all.

Here´s a new update. Treitak and Zerat are finished. I´m really excited about the GenCon pictures of the Morat redesigns. I love the new toys very very much.....

I hope you like the minis.

Very nice use of colour, think it really improves the overall looks of the miniatures!

I'm a big fan of the Zerat designs. I'm glad to see them painted up in your scheme. It looks really good on them.

Very slick! I love that vibrant pink hair. Yeh the new Morat designs are exciting, that box set is up there on my wish list now. Before it Morats were of no interest to me so it's doing a great job.

Not a big Combined Army fan, but these are very nice, especially the lively hair colour on the Zerat.

Thank you very much. I wasn´t sure about using such an extreme color for the Zerat´s hair. But it turned out well, now I´m excited to get the MAF-box-release in my hands...

Just went through your blog again and must admit I'm envious of your productivity. I can't wait to tackle my dirty aliens, but there are those oodles of unpainted Aleph troops in the way.
Btw it would be great if you gave us a nice "family portrait" of your alien scum. Maybe one for the Shasvastii, one for the Morats etc.

Thank you very much. I´ll do that when I do the next models. I know, it´s hard to get all these sweet minis done, I got 3 factions of Infinity here. I worked on the Combined stuff the last months mostly. Now I´ll do some PanO and Tohaa the next days. A friend of mine made me some GW Escher-Necromunda-girls as a gift and so I´m painting these now...he wants me to play this game, too and it´s the best way to get me...

Awesome work man. I always thought the Morats looked like crap until I saw this, didn't stop me starting a Combined Army force though!

Those bases in particular really make the minis *pop*. They looked great before but afterwards they look incredible!

Thank you very much. All of you have been so kind to me...The old Morats look like crap when you see the new Combined stuff. So I´m very happy to get the MAF-starter this year (what fanboy I am...). My bases are really easy. If I got the time I´ll do a tutorial. There´s no magic. I do about 10-15 bases the same time because it´s not my favourite thing....

There's not really much to be kind about, Medusa. You do stunning work and I look forward to seeing what you do with the MAF starter.

I think it is. Internet can be cruel sometimes you show things you paint and there are always guys who do it so much better. Before the starter comes I hope to get a Morat TAG but right now I got to pay my bills...and right now my thoughts go around Necromunda.

Could I ask what modelling paste it is you use for those bases? No need for a huge tutorial or anything, just a pointer towards the right product would be a great help. I'm kind of stuck figuring out what kind of paste does what, exactly, and since what you're doing is basically the effect I want most anyway just a name of what I should order would be a great help!

And again thanks for the help with the green colours etc; really make painting EI fun

Of course. I wasn´t here for some time working on the SPIEL 2013 in Essen. The stuff is called Dead Earth Paste, I´ll look for the company when I´m home.

Yes. We had a great time. I was happy to see Infinity was sold realy very much. The game got a boost with the third book...

Good
Well, while I don't know half of them personally I have it on good authority there's 30-50 players in the rotterdam-the Hague- Leiden area who are more or less active, so I'm not entirely surprised Infinity has some traction
