INFINITY NOMADS TUNGUSKA: Securitate

- May 05, 2020

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.
