Maybe I'm just not good at google-fu, but I cannot seem to find any guides on how to paint Ariadna uniforms for Infinity. I'm specifically looking for guides on painting Tank Hunters and Veteran Kazaks. Does anyone know where I can find guides on these, or offer up suggestions on how they painted their own?

As far as "official" guides, there are only the colour plates for the concept art for the units to go off. Look on the official forums for "concept art" and you might have to look through the entire thread.

I can't help you as I don't have copies of ANY ariadna unit concept designs save the trak mul (I don't like the vast majority of the army)

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Angel Giraldez paints most, if not all, of the studio's models. He has a blog that occasionally has tutorials or at least lists the paints used. His paintjobs have as much to do with application technique as color selection, though, so the frequently brief explanations may not be all that useful to you, depending on your style and level of experience.

There's also a P&M blog on Dakka, although I can't remember the name of the thread or poster (terribly helpful, I know...). If you can find it, though, there are some great step-by-steps of Ariadnan models. Again, not exactly "basecoat, wash, drybrush, and done" tutorials, so it may or may not prove particularly useful. Great inspiration, though, at the very least.

In more general terms, I do have one piece of advice - slightly desaturated colors tend to look best on Ariadna models, in keeping with the camo/modern military theme. Paints like Vallejo Model Color, which are geared towards historical/military painters, work nicely. Having only GC/VGC colors, myself, I had to tone down even my Haqqislam greens to get them where I wanted (roughly approximating the box art), using touches of appropriately dark or light browns and beiges.

You can ask Angel himself and he will tell you.

I'm 90% sure that the colors used for the Russian Ariadna green are Vallejo's "Russian Green" and "Olive Grey" though.

That was actually pretty helpful. Went by the LFGS and picked up some paint. Hopefully I'll be able to do the mold some justice. Thanks guys.
