INFINITY NOMADS TUNGUSKA: Heckler Hacker

 Heckler Hacker

This guy looks kinda sinister with his enclosed helm and dark coat. It was Ujin's Nomads on the Infinity forums that inspired me to start a Nomad army, and his Heckler was one of the first I admired.  I was very impressed by how he was able to paint numerous tones of black on the same model. With this in mind I tried to emulate Ugin's skilfull application of black by painting black differently on various parts of my Tunguska forces.

The Heckler was my first main attempt at putting this into practice. On the clothing and trenchcoat I applied a stippling technique to give those parts a cloth-like texture.  On the armour I did wet blending and applied a brighter final highlight.  On the helm I wet blended an even brighter highlight to give it a glossy effect.  Finally, on the gun I used blue grey as the mid highlight instead of dark grey, so that it would have a different sheen to the armour and coat. The overall effects are subtle but noticeable.  I'm not sure that I'm s good as Ugin but I will give it my best to paint a largely black army in interesting ways.
