Ectros Regiment

Still a WIP but I love shots like this.
Bases and guns to go.

Sneak Peak: Tohaa and Street Graffiks

Here is just a quick sneak peak of some upcoming Tohaa of mine. I'm both hating and loving the process of painting these guys. They are so detailed that it's time-consuming to get everything looking right. On the other hand, they are beautiful models and the final products look pretty. 

There are two types of paints that have made these easier to paint: GW shade paints and GW's Lahmian medium. The shade paints make painting the symbiont armor much easier. I lay down a basecoat of white, then cover it in the yellow glaze. Once that is dried I lay down a coat of the orange glaze and then the red one. Then I go back and paint the rest of the model. Once I have completed most of it. I go back with a yellow+white mix and highlight the symbiont armor. It ends up looking pretty decent. 

Lahmian medium is amazing for mixing into paints to shade the armor plates. I've been shading my armor plates with Incubi Darkness. This makes the armor a lot colder than you'll find on the studio scheme. 

I should have these guys done by next week. When I do, I'll try to get some good photos done for you all. 

Next up, I got inspired by some local art to street-out some of my terrain. I hope to get some work like this on my terrain set for Infinity and maybe update some of it so that's more cohesive. This is just me getting out some colors and going to town. I bet my airbrush could really make this more realistic.

Tohaa Battlegroup - Still in progress but almost there

Here are my Tohaa - not completely done, but close enough to show you guys some more photos. I really like these models, though they are a tad too detailed. Some of the straps are really small and tough to paint. Mostly I've focussed on making the models look good from 18 inches+ away. 

I've go these models plus two Ectros (both variants), another Gao-Rael, and a Gao Tarsos primed and ready to paint. To be assembled - Chaksa Auxiliaries, Servants and a Tohaa doctor-engineer. My Neema model broke at the leg and I have been too lazy to contact Corvus Belli about it - I should get to that today.

Infinity the Game: Tohaa Battlegroup WIP

With a decent amount of Dark Eldar done, I decided to take a break and get my Tohaa painted up. I've assembled and primed a battle group of 10 models, adding up to a 300 pt list so I felt like I get get them done quick and get back to my Dark Eldar. To keep the decision-making down, I just decided to use the studio paint-scheme for these guys. After all, I like it and I know how to apply it. In fact, it's basically the same scheme as my Dark Eldar. I go through phases like this.

Here they are:

I'm painting 5 models at once, but these are the farthest along.

These two are Sakiels. Elite light infantry with some nasty kit.

Infinity is probably the funnest tabletop wargame that I've ever encountered. I've been on a losing streak for about 2 years now and I still love the game. Hopefully these Tohaa will have better luck than my Yu Jing.
