Tournament Painting - Update 2! I'm getting tired now!

Hoooooooo!

First up I apologise for the quality of photos I'm showing you.. Taken on my ipad in crappy light... I have been cramming my paint jobs in the last week... I haven't even got a pic of everything... Put it this way, I painted this weekend alone an Anathematics, Charontid, Skiavoros and an Anyat! I was up until 1am this morning finishing that... woke up this morning an remembered I choose blue for her hair colour!

The Torny is in Leeds on Saturday and has been set up by the Northern Alliance, based in Leeds (Leeds Battle Bunker). Nice group of lads should be a good day, I'll take plenty of pics. I'm looking forward to it, but I haven't tested my list. Its completely different to my Morats lists, which actually can only be a good thing! I can only do as bad... Alot of scope for improvement. Maybe I can squeak an army nomination, you never know!

I haven't completed the bases yet.. I'll do some more and better pics when that is done...

Noctifier and Spitfire... I went with the green blue as I thought it looked camo, but suited the Infinity style imo.. pretty pleased with this and all the Shasvastii I have done... I didn't love the models so much, but in the flesh they are really good. I think when you take a pic of some Infinity stuff you loose the fact its really teeny and small...

Anathematic (with this stuff its not as dark in the flesh... Ipad camera not picking up the detail...)

Skiavoros (blood and gore to be done after varnish, also I added more detail to the helmet)

Charontid (looks very dark in the mid area, but its actually red, his pose is casting a shadow my ipad cant deal with!!)

My Anyat (Miss blue hair!!)

Tonight will see me paint up the amazing Ko Dali model... tired, but am looking forward to this model, it looks ace

Back to it :(

I haven't pictured everything I have done... I reckon I'm going well though...

Thanks for looking...

I made myself an Infinity backlog!

Hi

This isn't supposed to happen in a skirmish game, but a combination of Corvus Belli releasing awesome models and the Morats lacking a few tricks in 2nd ed I have bought a lot of models. I want these clear for my long over due infinity board, and the release of Icestorm where i will be making a Pan Oceania force. I have have seem some of the updates in 3rd and they look great, but i will wait until The Beasts of War release a full 3rd es bat rep on Friday before I make comment. I think this edition is going to tidy up a lot of things and (fingers crossed) make Close Combat more viable! My Morats strengths would be blown wide open if that were the case!

This is my shame for all to see!

With a few more to add! :( Damn Corvus Belli and the HMG Suryat model - to cool not to get!!!
This is defo the last purchase for Combined Army!

I will certainly be adding some painted updates soon!!

Thanks for looking!!

I'M SO EXCITED, AND I JUST CAN HIDE IT!!!!! - Infinity the Game!

Hi

I really don't know where to start with this post! So much is happening in the world of Infinity at the moment... in fact please play this while reading this post...

Before I start on the good stuff, I have managed to get these Morat Vanguard painted up! I have stripped my original three from the starter so I can get them to match (I painted them not know where the scheme was going!!). Pretty pleased overall, I love these models, the colours are working and I'm getting through my backlog... well kind of, I'll come back to that!!

I'm currently working on these guys, should be done by the weekend.. stripped with Fairy Power spray!

Now the good stuff.. You may or may not have heard, but Corvus Belli are bringing out a brand spanking new starter set with freaking awesome metal minis (The current metals being brought out are miles better than resin, so nice to paint and handle). The factions are Nomad and PanO, two of the best looking armies that both fit in a Manga/video game aesthetic. I'm halving the box with my good friend Chris who is taking the Nomads and I the PanO. Looking forward to seeing the models and the gaming mat mainly. Just cant wait!! 

Plus its going to be the new 3rd ed rules, which again I cant wait for.. the rule set is currently in a revised state from the original brought out in 2006. You can tell in some areas the game needs some polish and this should do that!

That is not all, we are pre-ordering and getting the spec ed minis!!!

The Pan0 one is of Tabitha Lyons who will be cosplaying at Gen Con dressed up as the Neoterra Bolt! Awesome...

This is the costume underway...

And if all this wasn't enough, we just got some new previews!!! Get ready for some Nerdgasms!

The new Morat Vulkan Shotgun Raktorak

More Eye candy... New Antipods... human half breeds.... yeah... awesome...

Oh yeah, and if that's not enough... I'm off to my first Infinity tourny in September... Its the Northern Alliance and they are holding a one day event in Leeds... Canneee wait! 

My only issue is I'm still struggling with my Morats... I have some new tricks ups my sleeve, but i might try and switch to a Vanilla list and include this fella... which I do currently own!

Plus I'm hoping to start on my Borderlands gaming board soon as well!!

Oh and I got out on my bike!

This is to much...

Until next time... Thanks for looking!!

Im painting like I have never painted before!

Hi

Its true I'm properly knocking stuff out at the moment. Taking the odd shortcut, but am overall pleased with the end result that (imo) gives a good gaming standard that I'm pleased to look at, but also happy to use in a game without pooing my pants every time I have to manoeuvre the models! I need to start blogging in the odd bat rep as well because I am actively gaming at the moment!

The Northern Infinity Alliance are holding a tourney in Leeds in September. I am going to be attending that and am really looking forward to it! Cant wait to dip my toe in the tourney scene again. My leg is starting to feel better also, so I'm going to get back on my bike and train so I can ride with my biking club as well, so things are starting to look up in that department!!

My Hungries... (these are very cheap fast moving models, that frankly, are one of my favourite units to use in game. They can do so much!!)

Next up are the Daturazi, these are super aggressive models that when in a link team move up the board under the cover of smoke grenades... I love them as much as the Hungries...!

I have some Morat Vanguard to paint up, along with two Raznat air drop guys. Then its onto the TAGs and Remotes... After that I have a Shivastii starter set. When that is complete I'm going to build a board... yup, gonna build terrain! My fave part of the hobby!

Thanks for looking!

More green glow!

Word...

I went back to my sogarat, not happy with the blue glow, just looked, meh... I hit it with a green one to give it some va va voom!  Also I'm putting off getting on with the daturazi, they are so detailed and I want to do them justice... Anyway my sogarat... 

Oh and a better pic of my Yeogats!

Thanks for looking!

Everyone should have a nerdy indoor hobby!

Hi

As the title suggest, I have had some bad news regarding my health, I have got a blood clot in my leg (Deep vein thrombosis). Now I am an active kind of guy, my other hobby is cycling and I like working decent average speeds around 20mph depending on if Im in a group and amount of altitude. What I  thought was a torn muscle has turned out much worse and I will be reduced not doing very much over the next few months.. Now the point of the post isn't a cry for help or attention, but pointing out that actually having a hobby I love that involves sitting on your arse whilst watching crap on tele (currently watching Appleseed as it's very Infinity looking!) is actually very helpful. If I didn't have it I would be very disgruntled and frustrated, and would probably be watching Jeremy Kyle or some home investment crappy programme. Now yes I'm still devastated I'm not doing the things I wanted on my bike this year, my mind is still occupied with stuff I like... 

My yaogets done.....!

On with the Daturazis now!!

Will take better pics in a couple of weeks...

Thanks for looking!

Infinity the Game, Yaogat... DONE (Except the base and varnish!)

This guy looks a bit shiny as I haven't matted him down yet.. pretty pleased with the colours. I have a full link team that I'm working on. They are like a spec op unit, have decent armour and most importantly Multispectral Visor... means they see through the Camo (think of Predator and his invisibility) and smoke! They are expensive to run, but I will give them a try out at some point. I might not use the full link, but there is defo a place for them in my lists....

I think I might start painting the odd Raven Guard model for completion later in the year.


Thanks for looking!

Infinity the Game! Zerat Hacker... you guessed it... DONE

Hi

Next out of the workshop ;) is my Zerat Hacker, apologies for the small photo. Im going to re-take some pictures for the gallery section at some point with a better camera.

I had a real struggle painting this one, couldnt get the hair right (im still not sure it is). I tried to keep it cartoony as it was looking to dirty as i had it originally.

Now this is exciting (although my gaming mates seem to think its a hairdressers/beauticians box!) I got this FISHING TACKLE box to keep the many counters in order with enough room to carry more than 300 pts force... This is another great thing about the game, not having to lug around so much stuff!!

Im having a game tonight I will post a bat rep tomorrow!

Thanks for looking!
