Some beautiful miniatures there!

O-Yoroi is stunning Daba (although could maybe do with a few better pics!)

And, the Domaru is wonderful as well Soulcow, the pink works surprisingly well. Great stuff.

Very nice stuff!

Wonder how long before we see some painted ice storm minis deployed here.

Got this one finished and was able to quickly take some pictures before it began to rain again, perfect weather for staying in and painting.. I mean studying all day (a)
Far from being a browncoat, but it does still fit my theme so it's okay:


A couple more pictures, one of the visor, and a comparison with the ghulam doc (it still fits the theme I began with) are in my gallery:

Btw Daba, nice minis. I see you don't have a gallery, have you got a blog on another site perhaps?

A beautiful miniature, painted beautifully!

Haven't seen this kind of colour scheme before but it works really well.

I've updated my P&M blog again (shock! horror! ) this time with a Kaplan Tactical Services miniature

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/210/396797.page#7116416

That is an interesting scheme for a Kaplan, though I think you've done a good job of pulling it off. Looks like a pretty neat force you've got growing with those two.

Cheers mate!

Latest update, an Azra'il - C&C very welcome in my blog:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/240/396797.page

I like the base, looks ilke you're inverting a second base on top of the first and filling it with material to make the street? Cool idea. I also quite like the soda can

Model itself is nice too, I dunno what his job/specialization is, but he looks fairly stealthy like that. I like the colors in general, the wood look for the lower tech haqq gun especially.

He's the complete opposite of sneaky. The Azra'il are heavy infantry that carry heavy weaponry. That model has an AP rifle, Light Flamethrower and a Panzerfaust. A real toolkit unit.

Ahh, forgive my ignorance, I don't think he's available to QK, or at least I haven't looked into one. Regardless, he still looks fairly low-key despite the gear and servo muscle bits, which is always a battlefield asset when people are liable to start shooting you

That's more the paint job. They wear old pattern powered armour due to the menacing look - particularly to draw fire and be scary.

They're definitely in QK as well. One of Haqqislams 'hidden' gems, in that people generally don't seriously look them over until they see one wreck up the place in a game.

Oh cool, then I'll have to check them out, though he'll have to talk my new Mobile Brigada into sitting out or sharing the spot-light (though the Azra'il's kit looks better anyway, it's just that I have a brigada :p).

Looks good. Nice mini, they just don't have the bulk that they probably should given their description. I'm looking forward to some of the Haqq HI getting the update treatment. Even though it's not their 'thing' they still have some of my favourite HI designs.

Problem is, Haqq HI shouldn't be bulky with the exception of the Azra'il and Ahl Fassed, who both use old pattern armour.

But...we're talking about the Azra'il. Not sure what the problem is!
I'm a bit nervous that the new Jan render is going to make the ap-rifle mini look like a skinny teen by comparison.
OT, I think I finally have my colour scheme sorted out, so look out for a blog update in 2-3 years!

This? you did post it, afterall. I thought you meant redesigns of other HI, since a redesign of just the Azra'il wouldn't be 'some' of the designs, it would be 'one' of the designs.

it makes the original AP rifle who was cradling the AP rifle look skinny. It doesn't make the AP rifle in the starter who is one handing the AP rifle look skinny, since it's the same design. Maybe small differences here and there due to being a new sculpt, but it's not a redesign. It's to go alongside it and replace the older HMG Jannisary (which was done to go alongside the old AP rifle model cradling the AP rifle).

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yes the current Janissary is pretty big as far as any Infinity miniature goes, I'm just painting up the one with the rifle at the moment. Judging from the one that was in the starter set (and I think is definitely a bit thinner? I don't have the actual miniature but it appears that way) I would expect the new one to be a little bit less bulky.

Absolutely, a re-sculpt doesn't inherently mean that a mini is getting bulkier. I don't even think that ground up redesigns are necessary per se, but I'm assuming that a model like the Ahl Fassad is on the list (albeit low on the list) for an update rather than just having a matching HMG toter sculpted.

So he is about 95% done, but I wanted to share before I finish him up and post him in my blog.

Fancy. I like the green lights and the red/metal going on.

Damn, all of the stuff that's been posted lately is looking good. I've been meaning to post in here, but by the time I get home from work, I've completely forgotten about it.

Speaking of the Janissary, I really don't like the new design for the Janissary. I like it for an Ahl Fassed though. I much preferred the old Janissary scuplt. I think it fit the fluff a lot better. I'm still of the opinion that the "new" rifle Janissary was originally meant to be a male rifle Ahl Fassed and CB just said "eh, nobody plays Ahl Fassed, let's just make him a Janissary instead."

Damn that does look good NuclearMessiah!

Love the lighting effect on the metal, please give a quick run-down of how you did that.. !

yeah it is fairly simple. How I did it was I used my airbrush (you can use a brush) and did the light source in a bright green, after I did my wash I took green florescent paint and started dry brushing it from the source. The Flou paint even though it look like a thick paste is semi translucent and shows up best on light colors. So over the green light it brightens my greens and over the surrounding area it just adds a green hue. His right leg and cod piece I did not add white to the center, but his right arm I did along with all the other sources. I still need to get a good process down, but overall I am happy with my first attempt.

Nice,NM! Loving the glowy bits!

I just got mine in the mail today. Ruminating on a color scheme while I paint the last batch of Haqq. Maybe they'll get a photo session soon...

I'm gonna have to try these Vallejo Fluo paints, between NM and Barzam I am fully convinced of their utility! And just in time to put evil glowy alien lights on my recently ordered Shasvastii advanced forces.

They are certainty useful for any lighting effects and I look forwards to using them more on the rest of the units in the CA. On my Ikadrons I want to do a white base on his fiber musculature do a red flou brush deep in the crevasse and do a black dry brush on the upper portions to give a deep down underglow. It is going to be a bit challenging cause the Flou paint is really thick and I don't want to paste it on.

Ooh excited to see that

Thanks for the tips NuclearMessiah, going to get me some of those special paints and see how I get on.

I too would like to see that, NM. That's sort of what I had in mind if I ever got any Tohaa units.

WHAT a conversion Sangarn. That definitely looks better than the original stock miniature.

Can I ask what bit you used for it (I'm guessing from that Nomad pack?)

Thx for your comment

Maybe a little late for the answer but here we go:
with the nomad bootleg mini i've used the left arm of the combi bolt girl and miranda right arm
the nomad backpack is from the tomcat box

The jump-pack bit is in my bitzbox and itching to be used (since it seems silly to leave the fans on the zondcat when the TOmcats apparently ditch theirs upon landing). I'm going to copycat that build a bit if you don't mind Sangarn.
