Cheers mate!

In all honesty I think the scheme is a little bit too dark. (It certainly doesn't photograph very well for a start!)

Next up:

Azra'il Trooper - Ihad Gamali / ايهاب جمالي
As disgraced or otherwise withdrawn members of the Sultanate personal guard, the Azra'il are often seconded to Mercenary units in the Acontencimento sector.
Heavily armoured and armed the Azra'il fight aggressively and bravely, often the first through the breach during boarding actions and the last to retreat in the face of an enemy assult.

Pictured here this Azra'il is armed with a Panzerfaust, a powerful anti-armour weapon, and a rifle. A small flame thrower is also carried for combat within closed confines, while the troopers breathing apparatus and closed system protects them from harmful atmospheres

Like I said over on the showcase thread, pretty nice. I like the base, both construction and dressing.

I like the colors, earthy and stealthy at the same time, and the way they make the gun look lower tech. Pretty spiffy all around.

Hey Pacific, this is a really fantastic blog – great inspiration for terrain and miniatures alike! Are you heading up to the Infinity weekend at Tabletop Nation next month? I've just dived into the game, and it'd be great to catch up with some friendly faces

I like the scheme on the Haqqislam chaps. If you're concerned it's a bit dark, perhaps you might consider some bright flashes in an accent colour? Some stripes or geometrical designs on armour plates (like the shoulder) in orange or red would be eye-catching and add a little complementary detail.

I really like your camo scheme. Great job!

Apologist! Wow, it has been so long, I hope you are well mate!

I'm really hoping to get to that event for perhaps the Saturday, I will send you a PM as soon as I've got something arranged.

Went to the event at Tabletop Nation for the launch of the Campaign Paradiso book and it was fantastic, hopefully this one will be organised along similar lines!


Many thanks for the feedback though, know what you mean about it perhaps needing some more colour to help break it up a bit and you aren't the first person to say that. Will try and work something in to the minis that I have left to paint.

Next update with some new minis hopefully coming in a day or so.

Another update:

Al'Hawwa Specialist - Widad Aliyyah / وداد عاليه
Trained by the Security Regiments of the Silk Consortium's navy, the Al'Hawwa (meaning 'Snake Charmers') are the electronic espionage and commando units of the Black Cats. Wearing advanced optical and heat masking equipment the Al'Hawwa operate in hostile areas, providing eyes on the ground and helping to co-ordinate further operations, be those troop deployments or missile strikes launched from orbit



Often lying inert for hours at a time, this Specialist will wait for the ideal time to use her sniper rifle. When enemy forces move to investigate the source of the fire, they will trigger carefully position anti-personnel mines. A side-arm provides the final line of close-quarter defence



Many Al'Hawwa are also highly trained in hacking and electronic invasion techniques. With enemy networks infiltrated by advanced viral routines, security systems will fail at the most opportune moments, and approaching Black Cat dropships will be untroubled by anti-aircraft fire.



Any C&C very welcome, hopefully some more to post in a few days!

Rather tasty .....

Looks great! I say again that I like the subdued colors, though she still has some sass with the hair. I hope she holds the gun differently after firing, otherwise ouch!

Nice I never liked her facemask, but I do like the paintjob you did. I think it's the best mini with these muted colours. I specifically like the highlighting on the black cloth and armorparts,

Something to make a change to the dull camo colours.

This is from Antenoiciti's 'Governance of Terra' range. Sadly not available at the time of writing (not sure if its to do with their future official Infinity releases?), these are some cracking miniatures and some of the only other ones to share similar proportions to the Corvus Belli miniatures (i.e. the scale of proportions)

These are going to be used as an armoured response team for some rules I am writing, that will introduce special rules for Infinity teams taking each other on in populated areas.



Any C&C very welcome!

Looks nice, I still like the tiny cans

Looks like they're trying to portray the 'good guys'.

I like that police guy/bot (Not sure which) a lot.

Wonderful! How did you make the newspaper and tiny can?

You planning on giving them a TAG? Or will they be cruising in an Ingram?

Oooh Ingram, enforce the law in style!

Thanks very much for the comments guys!

While I would love to take credit for modelling skills, I would probably get found out! These are a moulded part of the base, one of Micro Arts Studio's resin bases I believe (they do a whole range of urban-style bases)

I think they are meant to be people (although AFAIK there weren't any miniatures in the range that were bare-headed, so can't be sure!)

Cheers mate, yes they will be in the game. Just finishing typing up some rules now and a bit more playtesting to do, I will post them in the Infinity sub-forum. Hopefully they will be of some interest!

Barzam wrote:You planning on giving them a TAG? Or will they be cruising in an Ingram?

Watch this space..

I don't think they made any of the cops bareheaded, but they did make a couple with open visors.

Now though, you've got me very interested as to what you've got up your sleeve. If you've got a TAG planned, I'm very eager to see it so I can take some hints for how to paint my own Police TAG.

Hey folks, another update with some more pics of the Black Cats mercenary group.

Black Cats KTS special weapons - Malik Ebeid / مالك عبيد

Malik is the path finder for Kaplan Tactical Services contingent working within the Black Cats group. The special-technology fabric worn by the KTS has mimetic properties that causes it to appear to blend to the background when viewed with the naked eye. It should be noted however that this offers no additional protection against even limited electronic or multi-spectral viewing devices through which the troopers body heat and other signatures are easily spotted.

He carries a Sniper Rifle to cover the field of advance of the rest of the Black Cat unit, a proficient weapon for eliminating targets of opportunity. The extensive training of the KTS troopers within their home barracks making them extremely deadly shots.






Finally, a group shot of the KTS troopers completed so far.



Any C&C very welcome! Have been busy finishing the rules and miniatures for expanded play for Infinity which I hope to show soon, and although also working on 15mm terrain to represent southern France which is taking a lot of time!

Awesome work!

Aw mate, just caught up and I'm loving what your up to. Can't wait for a bat rep.

Just looked through all this, great work all round!

Always great to see some infinity stuff

Liking the very military look of your stuff

Well, it took me just over an hour to get through all of this from the beginning, and I am disappointed....

...that there isn't another hours worth! Spectacular work. I am a big fan and subscribing in hopes of seeing many more updates. I really like the darker or maybe just grittier look like the Lasiq and the Muyibs, but my favorite of all was immediately the Uberfall Ram-man. He just popped like I was looking at a still-frame of an anime.

Brilliant.

Many thanks for the kind comments guys!

I'm returning to my Nomads soon and hope to have the final one (Fox-man) painted up at some point.

A small update, with some news. Firstly, I'm hoping to be running a table at Gloucestershire Minicon on Sunday 1st Feb. Full details of the event are here, it's well worth going to see if you are near the Gloucestershire area as there is a massive variety of different games, demo tables, traders and bring & buy available.

Here is a link to the event information, and the table I had set up previously (this year likely to be similar)

Another small update, got this 'CEO' mini from the rather excellent 'Black Dragon minis' (http://crossoverminiatures.com/vendor/black-dragon-miniatures/ ), who have this amongst other miniatures that are suitable for civilians for Infinity.

The two bodyguards are (I believe) Copplestone Casting miniatures, they were bought from a trade show. Thought they brought to mind the bodyguard guys from that scene in Ghost in the Shell!



Any C&C appreciated, will hopefully get a chance to meet anyone who comes to Minicon!

I can't tell if he has a pointy shirt or a mega-tie... but he looks very sharp and angular, and you've done a great job on both him and his associates.

Is that table your own work? It's quite nice.

The style with which you painted these reminds me of Archer

I like the bodyguards mate. I'm working on the bodyguard on the left myself at the moment too. He is going to be a plain clothes police officer/ detective for fist full of Kung fu.

Hope mine turns out as well as yours.

The CEO makes an excellent HVT. How well does the mini scale alongside Infinity Figs?

Many thanks for the comments guys

These miniatures scale perfectly Red Harvest, I've got some more pics in the thread that was started in the Infinity section. Hope that helps!

Thanks. That fiday is a huge mini on its own. The CEO does scale well. A very useful HVT then.
