Ugh! Major talent envy! You guys have been working on some stunning stuff.
I'll go through the thread again and try to pick out the new threads for the OP but if you could all check for me and if your blog isn't in the first post could you fill this form in. Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys! To be honest, as soon as I saw the beret I knew it would be red, I don't quite know why. I suppose it works as a spot colour and you can see it's clearly not armour, so there's that.
Now working on the Spektr, and I may have slighly borrowed the cloaking effect that Grimdork used on his Shasvestii...
GrimDork wrote: Yeah I may definitely have to steal your "blue scale" to replace the "grey scale" I used for my malignos.
I did consider a greyscale/black and white camo effect, but realised pretty fast that, although it would have a high contrast, the blue would work a lot better with the red. Steal away, I'd be interested to see you try out the blue.
That looks fantastic as well, love the fabric-style effect you have made on the cloak - think that works perfectly! Looks like you have achieved a really smooth finish on the white/grey of the main armour also.
A quick update on my blog with some more KTS troopers, and the psuedo-background I'm writing for them at the same time
Paradigm, I'm going to officially ask you to stop posting pictures of your finished minis. They're making me insanely jealous and I now feel bad for myself as a painter.
I love the way the light reflects slightly off Paradigm's female aguacile on the red leather. How do you get the semigloss sort of shine it seems to have. Is it carefully balanced varnish or semigloss paint?
Casey's Law wrote:Do you stop to breathe in between producing these wonderful little gems?
Occasionally! Cheers. I've now got it into my head that I can get the whole set done inside a week, so 6 more minis before Thursday night. Doable, I think!

Honestly, that'ls just highlighting up to a bright red, no gloss or varnish I'm afraid. I just add light grey into my reds as I highlight up, rather than white, so I get a brighter/softer red rather than a pink.
Got the red done on my buddy's Nomads last night. Which means I'm 80% done with them! Can't wait to get some shots, I'm really happy with the. Way Reapers reds go on.
^Hey now. I was wondering how I was supposed to do reds the 'proper way'... Now I've got to find a model who wants to be red, my corregedor dudes have already been promised to another color scheme.
Speaking of speed, I have 2.5 minis to go of Icestorm, and as of tonight I'll have had the set for a week. I'm fairly confident I can get them done within the self-imposed deadline, but won't have access to a camera until next week so can't show any of it.
Whoa they look sweet, would love to see more/better pictures.
Edit: Oh and I meant to say earlier. @ckig: Got your blog lined up for a proper look at your stuff, just trying to catch up on so much right now in between shifts.
Introducing the Corregidor 5! Stars of a cool new reality TV show. Follows the trials and tribulations of a dysfunctional team of Alguaciles and their sergeant. Something always goes wrong on their missions yet somehow they always pull through!
Starring: Leroy: The grizzled sergeant desperately trying to get his team together. Sammy: Youngest of the group and the brains. Quirky and super smart hacker. Tommy: The playboy. Arrogant, vain and always has weird (bad) hairstyles. Jake: Token Black guy. Wanda: The hot-headed tomboy.
@Grimdork: I plan on doing a mass basing soon. After I finish all my nomads up. I'm probably going to keep it simple since they're already on their bases. I'll be playing around with some of GW texture paints, sand and some rocks or whatever else I can find. I'll either keep them grey like a moon's surface or urban area or a reddish brown like on the official colour scheme.
Relatively new to Infinity (recovering 40K player), but here's my GenCon special edition Neo Terra Cosplay Bolt with Dropbear. I have no idea what the stats for a Dropbear are but I really want to use this thing in a game.
It's actually super easy. Caledor Sky base, Teclis Blue over the raised sections, Drakenoff Nightshade over it all to bring the tone down, and then hit the highest parts with another thin coat of Teclis Blue to shine. I Don't care for hardline Highlights so I use washes to fill in recesses.
Very nice, clean painting. Should look fantastic on the table.

We don't either It's a weapon that's coming in N3 (we think, previously we were told Acheron Falls which is a long way off now). From what we know, it's a grenade launcher type thing that shoots those drop bears.

That sounds awesome! Thanks for the compliments fellas. I've recently started working on the Operation: Icestorm models so I'll be sure to post them.
I think i actually like the Zuyong model now having seen Barzams pictures. When it first came out i wasn't convinced and thought the helmet looked funny. But now i actually quite like it.
Sorry to bring the painting level down in here. I finished my Naffatun. I feel like I should have spent some more time on the guns, but they're done. Time to move on.
Looks pretty good to me! I half arse the guns a lot too. They're usually the last thing I paint so ehh. Also I see a kum bike in the back! Great models, can't wait
You're crazy, Loki, they look awesome, dude. Just wait till I start smushing my brush up against my models in a destined to fail attempt to paint. Then you'll see something that is actually bad, haha!
I started a thread here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/622743.page#7345830 for people to post photos of their tables, or tables that they have played on. I started things off with tables from a tournament here near Baltimore. I hope it can become a reference for players who want to see how tables can look.
Nice job NM. Mine is sitting on my bench staring me down. I have no idea what colours I'm going to do. How did you do your silver by the way? I'm going for chrome/silver on my Nomads.
Also, I actually updated my Nomad blog. No really! I'm not kidding. Why don't you believe me? Fine, here's a link. Gecko, Gecko.

It is fairly simple, I use Vallejo Air Brush colors (I brush them on) Steel and Silver are my favorites, I have chrome (haven't used it yet) For that model I used a different paint Vallejo Alcohol Metal Silver. After a good coating of the paint (and it dries) I hit it up with Vallejo Grey Ink which for comparison a picture.
The Raicho is in the process of being silvered and the Kurgat as recently been inked. From there you can drybrush or hightail with the silver/steel
Thanks for the recipe and such an effective one it is. Those paints are lovely, I'll have to get them for another project. I have something special for my chromads which should be nice and shiny even if it's a nuisance to paint on.

A tip when using the Liquid metals (Alcohol Metallics) DO not rinse you brush with water, use alcohol, you do this because the water will cause the metal in the paint to start rusting.
And I agree Pierzak, I used to have trouble with metallic paint going on to thick till I found these.

Not that anyone is talking about my work lol, but I consider myself average to below average when it comes to painting. Don't be disheartened, the models do half the work for you And if you mess up, they are metal, just strip and start over.
Damned commissions getting in the way of me painting my stuff lol. I finished the basic grunts from Ice storm (both nomads and PanO) and a Teutonic knight.. I want to paint MY stuff!!!
Next on the block will be my ORC and mobile brigada
Yep it's from a moderator, i'm not a fan at all of the religious aspect of Infinity, so I've removed it. I prefer a more "scy phy" urban look
Thx for the comments !
EDIT:
when I looked at that wasn't even aware it was a conversion!
I'm really happy to see this comment Infinity conversions are really hard (metal + lot of details) so ... this mean a lot for me thx :p
I felt exactly the same way, I knew they were moderator pants so it should be a conversion but it was so smooth I figured it had to be some kind of LE fig, later on I decided it must just be a really really solid conversion as the parts just didn't make sense otherwise.
I mean they make sense, just not in terms of all coming from the same faction.
What a legend, my conversions are a mess of greenstuff repairs. Congratulations on the webzine feature. My French is non existent but I've saved the article for reference. What was the purpose of the magnets at the end?
Nice tutorial! I am reminded of how much French I can *almost* read
Very clean conversion, good work!
Also, after that tutorial, is the artwork yours? I quite liked the Frozen/reverend healer mashup, and the riot grrls photo was pretty neat, wherever they came from. Good work, or good finds in either case!

but there is a lot of old stuff to work with so it's okay.

Luck or meticulous planning?
crazy planning :p look at this:
all of this is pending stuff for conversions, for one conversion done, 2 minis sleep in this box lol
I am currently taking the HMg from the Metro HMG and putting it on the Specnatz. Also I am converting the Mobolt from the MRRF starter to a veteran kazak, funny enough the only differences are the leg armor and the helmet (slightly)
At the Visual Inspiration thread Casey posted this picture
Spoiler:
And I found an idea for my third Chimera, I've done some plans which include a box of Zonds (for a Ciber-horse look more than a real horse) but just to see how it looks I've done something with things I had laying around for other projects (no, I didn't kill the remote just for this, there is another future in the works for him, I'm just using him to see how it would look)
Not sure about it but maybe it's the rear part of the Yu Jing Remotes that's too wide?, anyone has a picture of a Zond and a Luduan or Rui Shi side by side?
My latest work. Antipode pack in progress. Airbrushed fur colors, light underside, going to a dark brown at highest, and will have black stripe down the back starting at the head.
Next up is blocking in the rest of the colors (equipment, weapon, web gear) and then detail work followed by an gloss coat and enamel wash.
Those are going to be some awesome looking Antipodes!
Thanks for the nice comments on the Maghariba. The thing was a total pain in the ass to put together- I'm never going to do a metal model that chunky again. It weighs a ton!
I'll take some proper photos of my Haqqislam sometime, but in the meantime here's another phone pic of a Hassassin I finished recently!

Wow! Wish the holidays would end so I could get back to my stuff.
Aldo, that's a cool start but yeh I think the rear is a bit on the large side. Keep me updated! Think I might try and work on my version at some point today.

Those make me want to do an Ariadna list with as many antipodes/dog warriors as possible.
Heh, I'm hoping that the Kazak sectorial will get a +1 AVA for Antipodes, or the option to have a 4th antipode in the pack at least.
The new Dog warriors are nice. I /may/ get the box at some point, but USAriadna is goingto be my main focus once they start putting out models for the sectorial.
I have enough Kazaks for now.
Here's one that I finished last night. I got to try out my new Windsor & Newton S7 brush, which compared to the GW brushes is like trading your car in for a Ferrari. Very happy how he turned out. ... his partner is next in line!
Not a bad miniature on this page, some very nice work! Love the conversion on the Nomad.

And who the hell do you think you are, turning up in this thread and showing a picture of a mini that spectacularly well painted?
Hi I'm back to painting Infinity miniatures have been working on some operation ice storm minis and a Caledonian Mormaer posted the images in my painting log here
pfibp wrote: Nice WIP. Camo looks good so far.
The cloak just needs depths now.
That's going to be the kicker there, how to add depth without changing the colors. Ink washes will stain the tan down to brown. Most likely the scout get stripped and I start over.
Glazes. Not meaning those colors GW declares "glaze".
Can't tell about the options when using an airbrush (don't own one and don't have practical experience) but take what you've done so far as the template.
Pick your base tan, add a bit of a dark brown, dark green or black (or mixture of those) and thin it down.
Apply the mixture to your brush and remove the bigger part of the water from the brush by doing strokes on the back of your thumb for example.
Now you have a quite controlled amount of thin paint slightly darker than your current color in your brush. Use it to paint the deeper and/or shadowy parts of the cloak.
If you make mistakes clean up again with the original color.
Repeat with same mix.
Make slightly darker mix and repeat steps above.
Repeat all of it until result looks good.
Do similar for highlights.
In general if your imagined light comes from above the figure (the most common option as I know it) materials get darker the more to the bottom they are.
End result: Depth in colors.
OK, this description is quite rough and basic but that's how I paint.
1) Base colors
2) Shadows like described above
3) Lights like described above
4) Edge highlights where it's meaningful and necessary (not the every-edge-GW-method )
Step 2) can be done with washes as well but will then need clean up afterwards.
For camo pattern this means painting it, potentially ruining it again and in the end repairing it once more.
In case you need more trustworthy sources for the theories behind this :
Thanks for the tips and I will give it a stab One of the nice things about Infinity, if I mess up all I have to do is strip the model lol.
Im still an airbrush noob, but now that I got a brush that will actually function I should start improving on that front. The fun is prioritizing what you paint, going from the harder to reach deep details to the easier stuff to access, I have some masking material, but I seem to be challenged when it comes to using it and removing it.
ckig wrote: Nice work on the camo! What airbrush did you upgrade to? How're finding it?
I grabed a Iwata Esclipse HP-BS I linked the ebay listed I nabbed it off of, got a great deal on it. And I am finding it far superior to that piece of junk Master AB I started with.
Glad you're liking it and the results speaks for itself. Good catch on that one! Seems like Iwata and Badger are the goto airbrushes. I'd get one if I had the space.. and better ventilation in my work area lol.

I could use better ventilation lol, but I tend to work in small batches and the new Vallejo stuff removed any toxic ingredients, so I don't really have a lot to worry about.
I don't really worry about fumes or particles when I'm model making, I probably should. I do have a respirator on stand by just in case. The only people I've ever heard talking about paint dust all over their flat or breathing in too much are commission painters painting for 8 hours a day.
I was suppose to base them a while ago but my stuff I ordered dissappeared into the postal ether. And I haven't gotten around to picking up more of it :x
Just something simple though since they are already on their bases. Just some groundwork to make the mini look complete.

Haha, thanks! Just an Infinity fan Thanks for the great feedback guys, it keeps me painting stuff and away from the Xbox...
Anyway, I finally finished that other Naffatun (despite Christmassy distractions) so here they all are together (I did the LFT one more than a year ago). The image displayed here is a little small, but it was that or spam you all with 2560x1440... If you want to see it bigger click on the image!
Automatically Appended Next Post: And since I got some slightly better pictures, here's my second Moderator -- Finn Sharky: Woo boy, I should take photos like this before I spray seal, the natural daylight really brought out a few little errors I need to go back and correct some time.
He's managed to keep up with the other guy. I'm really digging how much individuality (and apparent genetic modification!) each of the Moderators is showing. Looking forward to painting Miss Bunny Moderator next, alongside Terminator Eye sniper Moderator, and Crazy-Darth-Maul-Wannabe-Tattoos spitfire Moderator.
I have just thrown all of my miniatures, paints, brushes and terrain into a big pile, soaked it in kerosene and then thrown a match on it. Then gone to my room and cried for a day without eating or speaking to anyone.
That is without a doubt one of the most awesome Nomad forces I have ever seen. Welcome to Dakka, and I don't think anyone would mind at all if you made a new thread here with some more shots of your terrain and close-ups of everything!
Thanks for such a warm welcome! Glad everyone is liking the Nomads. I'll throw up some pictures of the table when I've got time.
Miss Dee, the bases are Secret Weapon Flight Deck which I painted in basically the same way Angel Giraldez does the studio Nomad bases. It's an airbrushed basecoat of dark brown, then you hit it with orange from one direction. I then did the detail with lazy "looks good at a distance and in photos" NMM and added some arrows etc to make it a bit more interesting.
Can't now open my Christmas presents as my eyes have just exploded
Absolutely wonderful, each time I look at the shots I keep seeing new things. Love the way it's kept to a unifying theme across the board - can completely imagine this is what an oriental town could look like in 300 years time!
I have just the one of mine framed at the moment (the Tohaa/TAG one) but will hopefully put up a couple more. A fine addition to the walls of any man-cave!
He's a Spec Ops I converted up. About a year ago, the Infinity Australia Facebook group ran a "Make your own Special Character" competition and one of my friends and I decided to do our own Dire Foes set. So meet Erik Sokholov and Khalis Al-Fuhlan.
Sadly we didn't win :(, Sokholov came 2nd and Al-Fuhlan 3rd. but I beat my friend, and he won the "Lucky Dip" signed art book, so all was right in the world. One day we will write a scenario/mini-campaign for them.
And some close ups of Sokholov himself.
He's a fairly extensive/expensive conversion. I cannibalised no less than 3 models I had lying around. A spare Sin Eater (for the torso), a Moderator sniper (For the Head) and a Hellcat hacker (For the legs and arms). I had to do a fair amount of putty work as well. I( sculpted him a big belt to cover up the fact that the torso and legs didn't quite match up, a hood to visually make him a Vortex Operative and generally fill in a bunch of gaps.
He's one of the more extensive conversions I've done. I'm really happy with him and the background I'e written for him, so naturally he's failed me horribly in the 2 games I've used him in. :p
Have to say that is one of the finest Infinity conversions I have ever seen. Actually, scratch that, probably one of the finest conversions I have seen period!
Looks really seamless, makes we want to do my own dire foes set of Drop Bear vs. Krazy Koala (I'm thinking it will probably be quite a short scenario!)
Hi I don't usually visit this part of the forum very often as I haven't really started painting my Infinity minis yet, well the first is now done. First mini of the year as well.
I hope you like her, I really pulled out all the stops trying to get a nice warm flesh tone on her.
This is my CSU Corporate Security Unit, the first of many Infinity minis I expect.
Just finished my Jotums. I'm a little disappointed in the pictures as it doesn't show off much detail. I may go back eventually and add some free hand decals or something to break up all the white.
Very nice job, love the solid blocks of bold colour it works really well!
Like you say could maybe benefit from some better pics, although I am suddenly interested to read about the best selection sale at the Metro pavilion - just wish I was on the right side of the Atlantic to take advantage of it!

Why you'd have to sail around Cape Horn to get rugs so cheap!
Hi nice Jotum like the clean colour scheme I know how tricky it can be to get good photos some times. I have updated my painting log with pictures of an Akal sikh commando and some w.i.p pictures of the father knight from operation ice storm you can find the picures here
Very nice work! Love the shading with the brown, have you used an airbrush?
Arclaw wrote: First mini of 2015! Just one more Haqq to go now (for the time being...!) and I'm onto the Operation Icestorm Nomads.
That would have made me break my paint brushes, throw them into a small pile, burn them and start collecting stamps if I hadn't already done so because of someone else's painted minis a page or so ago. Bloody awesome
Cheers guys! Wow, those are some great compliments. Keeps me at it I feel my painting improved a bit last year (and since I started Infinity actually)... The smaller minis and the extra detail forced me to change a few things. Wet Palette, good lighting and (most recently) Windsor & Newton brushes have made painting much less frustrating. If I have a target for this year it is to get quicker.
Those antipodes look great. I think I remember seeing them WIP a few pages back so really nice to see the finished articles.
So I finished my first three infinity figures; a trio of Briscards, very directly ignoring the studio scheme (which I find quite garish myself, the blue and red really isn't to my liking)
Tried to emulate current French desert camo; at this scale it ends up looking a bit more like their standard pattern (main difference is there's more light brown in the desert fatigues, much less dark brown/green, but eh, this looks better in 28mm). I have some Loup-Garou pending, which will be done as close to standard Gendarmes as well, so more like the studio scheme given their very obvious inspiration.
Neat, are those shoulder mounts stock or aftermarket? Grr stupid corregidor and making me want geckos... All of the fancy geckos showing up on Dakka don't help either
I like the orange detailing on the spec op looks good in combination with the blue armour. Really liking those geckos chromedog the missile launchers are a nice touch.
I have been paining some more on my father knight mini and it is nearing completion but I'm starting to think that he stand out a bit to much from the rest of the army. The voices in my head are telling me that he need some camo on his loin cloth and perhaps his shoulder pads so that he fits more with the rest of the army would appreciate some feed back on this.
I am of the mind that the Knights should/would want to stand out amongst the common rabble. I see knights as glory/honor seekers and they stand out front, to be seen and awed by lesser men. Just my vision though, I am sure if you painted some camo wearing knights they would look super-sweet. Maybe have them hiding out in the back of the battlefield behind a schoolbus full of children too. hahaha, I kid, I kid.
Well they do come from different subfactions within Pan-O, so a different scheme is totally acceptable. As with most disparate minis fighting on the same side, the bases are tying them in nicely.
In addition to everything being gorgeous
I really do think it makes sense though, even the stats of the father knight (kinematica) suggest that he'll be boldly running down the enemy while the fusileers give him covering fire from uhh well cover.
Got my desk setup again for painting and taking photos. I'm almost done with these models waiting on a shipment of some more Micro Art Studio Urban Bases. Other than that they are ready to go. I also have some more models coming in this week, Yojimbo, Saito Togan, Shinobu Kitsune, Missile Keisotsu, and the O12 commisioner.
Raiden with Missile Launcher
Ole' Missile Hac Tao
"Neko" Oyama
Zhanshi Yisheng who will count as a Tokusetsu Eisei for my JSA
I've been wanting to do an Akira capsule game themed biker centric force for some time, looks like I wasn't the only one who thought of it. Still want to though. Great stuff overall!
str00dles1 wrote: Cool JSA, I just dont get the bike bases? Maybe I missed something but they are way large?
Bikes are all on 55mm bases now, different from the 40mm base size they were before. It looks like he has one 55mm 'natural' base, and something put around his old 40mm bases to make them 55mm.
And yes, some bikes seem to fit the 55mm better than others, who end up looking a bit undersized.

Yes that is correct. I had bought the MAS 40mm initially when I bought my Bikers, Two weeks after that Infinity announced the new base sizes so I used plasticard and green stuff to extend the base out and making the most of my money.
Working on my Asawira, I present you Mitr, the wind of the South, Spahbed of the Sha.
Spoiler:
And some sculpting (trying it seriously for the first time, I'm not Marko Skoll but I think it does the job)
My Daylamis got some protection
and my Kum (who I want to call Mamluks, just because, I'm toying with making them a gang that refused to follow Kasym when he killed Izzat and instead follow one of Izzat's allies, thinking about calling him Murad Bey, just cause).
That lasiq looks good nice work on the shading and highlighting.
Finished painting the father knight, after some experimentation and advice I decided to paint one of the shoulder pads of the father knight i camouflage to help it blend in more with the rest of my army.
And great first mini! Looks like an interesting colour scheme, how about some different shots from different angles?
Crazy Ivan & Arclaw.. I have already warned you both about how much money you are causing me, as well as tears, making me break up my paint brushes and burn them each time you post some of your minis on here
Thought this might be cool for a scenario where both teams are trying to kidnap (or assassinate!) the CEO, although the guys with him might have something to say about any attempt!
I like your CEO and body guards Pacific looks very nice you could do some really cool scenarios with them. On that note I decided to upgrade my corporate security and finished painting a CSU posted some pictures on my painting log here
Hah, that's a lot of detail on her cute little bag-friend. Looks great
Here's my humble offering, got my last 3 moderators done. I think there's another sculpt but I'd have to get a duplicate model to get her and I don't like the way she holds her gun... so this is probably it for Moderators:
Picture is big so zoom in if you like
Gah, looks like I forgot the lens on the sniper scope... I'll fix it later.
The rest of my Nomads, but I think I've posted them here before so Spoilers:
Spoiler:
The whole Mod Squad
The whole Nomad crew. The Moran is visiting from another ship obvs.
Ha, I got the same 5, and haven't gotten the lollipop licker for the same reasons. The combi's are out-dated as well, so I'm guessing there will be a swc box of new sculpts sometime in the next year.
I like Hellboy Spitfire for coolness, and the Blue guy has very nice color composition.
Pink socks guy maybe needs a line in between the pink and the yellow of the shoe in order to see some defining contrast imo.
Thanks If there's a new swc box I may consider it. I really quite like the Moderators. As long as the design stays similar..
You may be right about blondie's shoes, the pink and yellow (black and grey on the others' shoes) are physically separated on different parts of the shoe, but maybe there isn't enough to notice it at any distance.
It's gonna be awhile before I get the other two of this trio done so I'll go ahead and share this one with you now:
Bubbles!
Her two sister Sputniks will be green and red. Feel a bit like I rushed on this one, but I'm still happy enough with the results. I'm very much looking to complete models now and eventually consolidate what I've learned... but later.
