INFINITY NOMADS TUNGUSKA: Securitate team

Securitate

Securitate are the line troopers that I like best for Nomads.  That's one reason why I chose the Tunguska Sectorial.  Love the little details like the cops badges, handcuffs, earpieces and shades.  Overall I'm sticking to mostly black and red as per the standard nomad colours (I have a mad plan to collect a little bit of each army one day, so no crazy colour deviations in each faction).  However I do like to put my own spin on things.

It was hard to come up with a different way to do the Securitate, but after a bit of research I found inspiration from Star Trek TNG Red shirts! Which is perfect for this trooper profile, being cannon fodder (OS Red Shirts anyway).  Because I painted the red shoulders I ended up doing away with most of the glowy bits. I did the remaining glowy bits in blue green, which differs from the studio army also, but more so because I wanted to further differentiate this army from my JSA who have pure blue glowy bits (There is a grand scheme going here you see!). The text on their backs was tricky to do and I had play around a lot with the font before I was satisfied. Speed painted these guys in just one weekend (which is pretty good for me to squeeze in between vacuuming and other weekly chores my mistress wifey demands). Now just need some donuts...

She's my poster girl for this group, the mini I like most and drew me to painting them.  Love her quizzical expression.

Happy to add a little ethnic diversity to my infinity armies with this lil' lady.  Have to say however that darker skin tones are much harder to do than lighter as they don't stand out as easily on a small surface area.

YU JING PAINTING GUIDE: YAN HUO

-

Yu Jing Painting Guide Thought I'd put together a bit of a step by step guide to painting Yu Jing armour using my Yan Huos. I've included how to do the contrasting black and metal sections because breaking down a miniature into easily paintable sections is crucial to being able to paint neatly and quickly by minimising mistakes and reworking colours. These Yu Jing guys have two main sections to do: Yellow armour panels and black/metal armour cables and weapons. Each section is done in three stages: Base colour, shading and then highlighting. I used Vallejo colours and followed the colour palette used by Angel Giraldez in the Yu Jing painting set . I don't have the set myself but I just guessed how he used them based on the colour selection within the set. I use brushes only because my airbrush is a bit dead and I spend more time cleaning it than painting lol!  But to be honest I'm just more comfortable using a brush and only really find an airbrush useful for pain...

INFINITY DEFIANCE OUTCAST O-12: Gamma Unit

  Gamma Unit The big guy was left till last.  I used all the colours and details from my other O-12 on this guy.  He is a very cool mini.  Reminds me of the exo suits from the game Deus Ex.  Infact the police force from Deus Ex is where I drew the most inspiration for my O-12 colour scheme. O-12 are now all done!

INFINITY JSA: O-Yoroi Pilot Bootleg Conversion Guide

Bootleg O-Yoroi Pilot Conversion Guide It's been a long time since I worked on my favorite army, JSA! The Bootleg O-Yoroi Pilot is one of my all time favourite Infinity models.  It is pure cheesecake mecha, both sexy and deadly.  A lovely model to be sure and one of the reasons I wanted to collect both JSA and Infinity.  However I was too exhausted after modeling and painting my first O-Yoroi to have a go at it in the past, especially trying to convert it like the wonderful Senior Giladez's version that we are all familiar with.  A couple of years later, an additional army or two, plus a global pandemic as well as the model going out of production sending me into a panic buy (again!) meant that it was finally time to give this model conversion a crack. Whilst I did not do anything amazingly different from the masterclass version by Giladez, since the pose of the model does not allow for too much variation, I did want to put together a guide for others on how to ...
