Knauf The most (in)famous merc in Infinity.  I really like this guy, but wasn't as much of a fan of the Dire Foes version compared to the Limited Edition one.  Lucky for me I got my hands on the Limited Edition Miniature plus the Outrage manga on ebay for a good price.  Part of the fun of starting Infinity has been hunting down all these limited edition miniatures that mostly seem to fall into the Mercs faction.  But it's also a bit frustrating that many of the best sculpts are so hard to come by, which makes me really value getting them, but I wouldn't be upset if they became more widely available for all to enjoy. I painted Knauf in a palette very similar to the studio one.  However, whilst I did use the Studio Pano blues, I kept the overall tone darker, so I could more closely match the artwork of Knauf in the Outrage book.  I also used this blue combo to differentiate Knauf subtly from my Druze, but also tie him in with my Brawlers and other mercs...

Security Chief Arslan Druze got their boss now.  Painted him blue to match my other mercs, which he can hijack from my Ikari Company.  In fact I basically have the Druze army already (only missing Valeria Gromoz, Hunzakuts and Anacondas... Drones already covered by proxy...).  Like this guy's attitude and his close resemblance to the comic. I painted his Druze symbol on his shirt, Punisher style, and am pretty happy with result.  Where is that bastard Knauf?... Arslan leads the troops into battle

Susan Harlow Lovely Expressive miniature that was fun to paint.  I especially like her face.  It's great how CB manage to do such individual faces as opposed to standard meatheads cut out of the same block that some other miniature makers tend to do  (spesh marins cough cough...).  I painted Susan simply because I like the mini and whilst she is officially an NGO Freedom International Coordinator, I think she will proxy nicely as a Warcor for Ikari Co.  I'm not too keen on the current Warcor sculps as they look just plain unco and incapable of  surviving a warzone let alone  dodging a bullet, so susan will proxy nicely until there is a resculp.  I picture her as a Warcor on her day off, hence sans the flak jacket. I got something on my mind....

Wú Míng Assault Corps When Colonel Ikari seceded from Yu Jing those troops still loyal to the state empire that stood in his way were mercilessly massacred to expedite his escape.  The  W ú Míng   Corps under Ikari’s command where not hard to sway to his banner, given their shameful status, and were instrumental in Ikari’s escape.  Indeed, when Ikari issued his escape order 66, it was the  W ú Míng   who executed this directive with grim satisfaction, turning their guns on their erstwhile allies within key Yu Jing barracks and installations that Ikari needed in order to found his own mercenary domain. Free of shame, regret and scruples these same  W ú Míng  still fight for Ikari under new colours, obeying any order without pause or empathy for their foes.  Their sub-dermal tracking implants were removed by Ikari in gratitude for their support of his rebellion and they now fight at his side as vicious attack do...
