INFINITY YU JING INVINCIBLE ARMY: Húláng Shocktroopers

-

 


Húláng Shocktroopers

I built and painted my second wave of IA in two batches in October and November 2020.  The first batch had more conventional colours starting with the Guijia and ending in the pilot.  For my second batch I did the odd bods of more unconventional Yu Jing colours beginning with this guy.  

Lot's of people don't like the Húláng for some reason. It may be because of the skull helmet that reminds them of a 40K chaplain.  But I think it has more to do with the studio colour scheme that doesn't quite do the model justice by breaking up the silhouette profile of the model in an unsatisfying way.  

I happen to be a fan of the model and think that he is quite sinister and badass. With that in mind I painted him mostly black with only splash of yellow and went for a Sith Lord like vibe with him.  I did very faint OSL from the sword but you can barely see it in the photos.  I slightly reposed his left arm so his torso wouldn't be obscured.  I think he turned out pretty cool.

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!
