Just joined up and spending most of my time so far in the Infinity sub-forum. I'll be using this thread to post up pics of my Infinity models as and when i paint them. I thought i might as well start with some finished models ..























































Thats it for now, hopefully post more stuff when i get the chance.

That's a nice collection of Infinity models - thanks for sharing, and looking forward to more!

Very nice! I like your stuff.

Those wolf nipples seem strange to me though.

Sexy paint jobs, well done! I especially like the Oniwaban, now I want to paint one myself...

Good stuff! I like how you more or less used the standard colors, but made them looks less flashy and more harmonic. Well except that orange Shangji with the purple gun...

Fantastic painting. I love the color choices you did for each faction. I'm looking forward to more! I hope to see more Yu Jing.

Thanks folks!

@Rotgut - The wolf nipples have been mentioned before! I wanted them still to look vaguely human but the pink may have been a bit much. I tried them in grey as well to begin with but they looked a bit silly.

@Burst - Yeah, the Oniwaban is an awesome looking mini, probably one of my favourite Infinity sculpts. Now go paint one!

@Baiyuan - I try to only use a few main colours on the models just to keep things simple. If anyone can make them look less flashy its me!

@CDK - You may get your wish. I have started again on some old school zhanshi that i have been trying to finish for ages!

Yes, I hate that the thing that first pops up when looking at the wolf is wolfnipples. But... wolfnipples. Its a great paintjob regardless.

I am so happy to see another painted Maghariba! And yours looks topnotch! The writing and stuff on it really makes it look more professional, unlike my pirate looking one. It is still my favorite damn model in the whole range. Because Ghost in the Shell.

I think what I'm the biggest fan of is the blues you've used for the Merovingian troops. It really ties them together, but is still muted enough to fit with the rest of the Ariadna forces. The Moblot looks great as well. Those guys are totally under-appreciated.

Seems like you suffer from the same model ADD like the rest of us! I approve.

Oh! And what did you use for the Mag's base? I still haven't based mine... can't play with the freaking thing if I put it on a base.

I like to have it crawl over things.

Ok, OK i'll do something about the dog warrior's nipples!

CC - The 'writing' on the Maghariba was just some tau decals i had lying around. But they seemed to fit pretty well so i used them. The base was just made from some plasticard and an old cd glued together. Cut to about 80mm then glued together and filed down so that it was vaguely circular. And i have 4 factions so i get to paint a little bit of everything.

Speaking of painting i finally finished a Dao Fei i have had waiting to be finished off for ages.

Wow, a really nice collection of minis! Struggling to pick out any in particular as they all look so great, but I'd probably say the Lasiqs and the Scotsman in the plain-plate looking armour are my favourites from amongst them!

Top stuff, look forward to seeing more !

Thanks Pacific

Ok, you asked for it and now you've got it! I re-painted the dog warrior's nipples! A couple of coats
of black wash (well old gw armour wash to be precise) and voila! ...





And as this is supposed to be a WIP thread i thought i'd better post some WIP pics. As i'm thinking about using my Yu Jing for a Paradiso campaign in the new year i should probably try and get some of them painted first. Here are some pics of the models currently in process.

Saw most of these as I read through your entire thread over at the official forum. Very nice collection you have there.

Made a start on some of my Yu Jing including the Karakuri and two Domaru Butai but then got distracted by another old model that had been waiting for ages to get finished off. Combined army Charontid is now ready for some varnish. And not before time too as i dropped it and chipped it twice when i was painting it!

Looks great. I'm often put off by the CA figures but I think most of it is because I don't like the studio paintjobs. Yours look great.

Yeah, the original studio paintjob (purple and grey) didn't do it any favours! I much preferred the paint scheme they used on the HMG and i tried to get something like that on this but with limited success. I've tried using a sponge on my Gwailo to get a mottled effect and will probably use that on the HMG when i eventually paint it. And there were a few models that i wasn't too keen on when i saw the studio versions but the models themselves look great, particularly the Skiavoros and Exrah sculpts. So don't be put off by the paintjobs!

Fantastic Charontid. I'm hoping to get around to mine soon. I've got that plus an Anathematic, and drones that need to be done. Your base for it looks cool too.

Agreed, looks better than the studio scheme for sure! Wonderful work.

Damn that's a sexy Charontid, I love the blue in the recesses against the green! I'm about to start mine, I hope it looks half as good as yours!

Thanks folks.

@CDK I've still got 3/4 of my EI aspects to paint up (Charontid HMG , Skiavoros an Anathematic) and thats not including drones, slave drones and med tec! The base was pretty easy too. He's obviously just overrun an Ariadna position as most of the base is the bit of a zouave scenic base that doesn't fit on a 25mm base. It provides a nice counterbalance to the Charontid as well who is pretty top heavy.

And good spot Mr Warmill! After i had finished the armour plates i wanted it to look a bit more alien-y. I had shaded the armour with leviathan purple and went back and added some watered down hawk tuquoise to the panel lines and recesses as a bit of a contrast.

Some very nice work indeed!

Thought i'd post a couple of pics of the Domarus in progress. I'd originally intended for the armour to be a light grey colour with space wolves grey as a base but i added a black wash to define some of the armour plates a bit better and they've ended up a bit daker than i had anticipated. Still a bit more highlighting to do so they may end up fairly light anyway.





I may just leave the male and try and get the female finished off before i go home for xmas.

these look awesome, man...I´d like to shoot them!

Time for another update. I've been painting up some bits of scatter terrain recently so i thought i'd post up some pics of the work in progress. The scatter terrain is mostly resin with some plastic barriers as well. Some pics below with a bit of a step by step of how they were painted.





A mixture of some crates, vending machines and barriers. All just the right height to provide cover in your favourite sci-fi skirmish game! There was a bit of flash on some of the bits but nothing that couldn't be sorted with a sharp knife. Then it was on to priming.





I usually just use cheap car primer or paint mixed with gesso for minis but i had recently picked up some Vallejo primer so thought i'd give it a try. I'd seen it used straight from the bottle in airbrushes but it started to clog mine so i think a bit of thinning wouldn't hurt. Other than that it went on nicely and didn't obscure any of the detail on the pieces.



The pieces then got basecoats. There is a little bit of pre-shading on the panels for the barriers as well.



A bit of highlighting applied to the crates and a ghulam for scale. And a bit of shading and some stencils applied to the barriers.



I then changed my mind on the crates and went back and picked out some of the panels.



I've also been changing my mind on the vending machines so still have them to finish off, but should hopefully be done soon.

And all of the above was brought to you by the nice people at ..



You can check more of their stuff out here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/488639.page

Great job! I love what you did with the ADBs and the crates. Looking forward to seeing the vending machines. Would just like to also mention that I personally hand stamped that packaging tag with the ADB stamp

Wow really nice job on the terrain there mate, I like the kind of blending effect you have used!

Very nice work, bantha!

So the vending machines/ hydrant are finished now as well.



And a family shot with everything together.



Pretty pleased with how they turned out. And now my ghulam can get a drink whenver he wants!

Aren,t they supposed not to drink?

Beatifuly painted stuff. kudo's!

You have officially inspired me to attempt airbrushing my set of those.
