INFINITY HVT: Yu Jing Ambassador

Image
  Yu Jing Ambassador The Civi High Value Targets are always the most fun thing in a Dire foes set.  The Yu Jing Ambassador is no exception with his slick style. I wanted this guy's impeccable taste to stand out so gave him a green silk suit, offset by pale yellow trim and contrast with an incredibly manly pink shirt and pink shoes.  Lady killer for sure! 

INFINITY PANOCEANIA WINTER FORCE: Gunnar Lundmark, Troll-Hunter

Image
Gunnar Lundmark, Troll-Hunter OK so this guy is totally not a Space Wolf... not.  I cleaned up the rather busy Studio color scheme and simplified things on this guy. The facepaint was done away with and his big old scar and milky eye became prominent (which I didn't even notice before due to the colourful Studio palette).  Much of the detail etched on his shoulders did not survive even very thin coats of paint (particularly on the left). So I did away with the gold filigree and added his unit badge on the left and only finely highlighted the right to give the impression of an etched surface.  Another peculiarity on this mini was the super chonky cape that needed texturing or would have been very flat and detracting.  However his dynamic pose and big hammer make up for any shortcomings. Never thought I'd paint a space puppy but here he is in Infinity. 

INFINITY YU JING WHITE BANNER ARMY: Imperial Agent Adil Mehmut, Special Division

Image
  Imperial Agent Adil Mehmut, Special Division This exiled hero has a lot of character.  I like his quizzical face.  Played around with a few techniques including hatching,  little bit of freehand and subtle OSL.

INFINITY MERCS: Kunai Solutions Mercenary Ninja

Image
  Kunai Solutions Mercenary Ninja Had to paint this guy in JSA colours.  He can moonlight for whatever faction he chooses!  Actually I hate the purple cloak of the studio version so was never going to go down that path. Speaking of the cloak, there was a big gap in putting it on that required lots of greenstuff to fill it (don't forget to fill it peeps when working on this guy or the standard release one!).

INFINITY MERCS: Liang Kai, Wandering Shaolin Monk

  Liang Kai, Wandering Shaolin Monk Interesting model with lots of different textures to paint.  Crazy amount of detail on that augmented arm required a fair bit of attention.  It's all about that base though giving the model lots of character and a dynamic pose.
