Hubby doesn't like painting the smaller figures, which is fine by me, but we both would like his force for Infinity to be painted, aaaand I just so happen to want to paint the Ratnik.  That's right, I spent $100 CAD on a boxed set where half the minis will be staying on a shelf for a while, and the other half are there to accompany the one mini I really wanted to paint.  Okay, there's also the fact there's an Ariadna starter in there, but still :P

So first and foremost, we have the minis from Coldfront + Beyond Coldfront assemble and based, which some would say is always a good start.  I'm not going to argue with them ::P:

Mission Models primer!  I think it was something like 16 parts Grey Primer to 4 parts Black Primer, with four or five drops of thinner - I was aiming for slightly darker than grey, but not too too dark.  Just enough to give some basic details.

Bleached Linen drybrushed on to help bring out the details, then I think it was Citadel's Drakenhof Nightshade, uh, shade...  Then Void Blue for the obviously blue bits.

Then the Ratnik got a mix of Void Blue and Dragon Black on some of the armour panels and weaponry, followed by a healthy dose of Secret Weapon's Hard Body Black Wash.  Okay, looks like this fox overdid it a bit, as some things show rather black, but I'll live.  It at least gives me a basic idea of where I am, and where I'm going, which is arguably the most important to me ^_^

Here's a closer look at the Scout (on the left) and Veteran Kazak.  They've received a bit of that Void Blue / Dragon Black mix in crevices if I remember correctly....

 

 

 

Oh yeah, there's also a bit more in the queue for him too...

^USAriadna starter box (for now he's said he'll paint the antipodes (werewolves), but if he asks me to paint them, I'll paint them ^_^

 

IMG_20200510_125313.thumb.jpg.bc05a421b69130137e59c163a6663643.jpg

^Support pack (112 Medic... ON A BIKE!), Line Kazaks (additional weaponry for the "basic" troopers), Scout with AP Sniper, Blackjacks with Sniper (big shooty thing!), and a Hardcase Frontiersmen with a Tactical Bow.

 

Initial focus is going to be on the Coldfront minis, and getting things sorted out so we both have a starter set of miniatures we can game with ^_^

Some progress last night...

I think it was Styx Purple, although I can't remember if I mixed it with Void Blue as well or not.  Either way, steadily working towards getting more things blocked in!

I like that purple.

Me too, although I think I'm going to try and work on making it somewhat more...  Vibrant?  Brighter?  Not quite sure which word to go with, but I definitely have a feeling it will need a few coats to have it all work together, but have a lot more detail to the paint too. ^_^

How do these scale with Reaper minis? That Frontiersman with the bow might work as reinforcements for my redneck warband...

Not the best of assembly since it's courtesy of Mister BluTak, but...

Angle might be off just a touch, but I'd say they look relatively close in height, at least compared to Sir Forscale.  One thing you'll want to watch out for though is most of the blister packs aren't coming with regular 25mm round bases anymore, they're coming with LoS bases, which simply have a line in the center, and then arrows at 90 degrees left and 90 degrees right pointing towards the center line.

As to the purple, probably about three coats I'm guessing. 

Yeah, right now I'm not the happiest with it, but given the success I've had getting what I want from the Citadel paints we have for my Foxes, I'll be giving such paints a try tomorrow, as we have a few blues and purples ^_^  But yeah, that purple, I think I was at 2-3 coats easily just for where it is.

I won a draw on a Twitch stream to get some help and ideas for coming up with a better looking painted product, and I'm about 90% certain I'll be going with the Ratnik, since it allows me to do a few more things, but also a bunch of the mechanical things I honestly have no ideas what my plans are with those.  So out came the G85, which is nice, because it lets me take better photos.  Room lights instead of my painting lights, because I wanted to see how things are now, and where they'll be going and/or need to go... ^_^

^So first we have the Ariadna Scout with shotgun.  Shading's been started ^_^

^And the Ratnik.  It's sort of visible that I'm going for a blue and purple kind of theme.  As for the hammer, I'm thinking of going with an almost cherry hot look for the tips, but honestly haven't decided whether or not I want that just yet.

Ratnik got some more work done to it yesterday. Wasn't the happiest with the blue and purple that I had, so changed those up, aaaand also took a bit of inspiration from my Ritterlich for a few areas...

I'm a lot happier with how things are looking... ^_^

      Infinity Anathematic

      I found this guy sitting unassembled in a box while I was cleaning. So I built and painted him even though I stopped playing infinity years ago.

      WhiteWulfe tackles Operation Kaldstrom (Plus Beyond)
      By WhiteWulfe
      So, a little while ago I had these two lovely packages come in because I wanted to give the new "rules condensed" version of Infinity a go, and sadly neither the HaqqIslam I use or the Ariadna hubby uses for N3 are in Code One, so....  Well, as one might expect, we wound up picking up a new starter box, because of various reasons.  Anyways, Yu Jing was always my second choice for an army, and Rune liked the new look for the PanOceania figures, so that made life moderately easier....
       
      Keen eyed observers will notice that Rune's PanO aren't getting as many units.  Well, yeah, there's a partial reason for that - I had a basic idea already of what I wanted with my Yu Jing for N3, specifically that of being able to field the Invincible Army sectorial at some point due to my LOVE of their heavy infantry, and since pretty much all of the models I was looking at are usable in Code One that pretty much sealed the deal for me right then and there...  Obviously more will be added in for Rune's side as he plays the game more, and figures out what kind of units he would like (and likes the look of).
       

      ^So a few days ago this is where things were at, after the use of a pair of GreenStuffWorld rollers, specifically Runes (for, uh, Rune's PanO), and Small Cobblestones (for my Yu Jing), and after several hours of assembly over three nights if I remember correctly, here's where things were...
       

      ^And phase one of basing complete.  Vallejo terrain goop, I love you.
       
      Okay, I'll admit, I wound up covering up more details than I had originally planned, but such is life - some of the original elements are still there, which is good enough in my opinion, at least for now.  I'll still get the basic idea across, although with some of them it's more going to be easter eggs in the bases, but such is life.
       

      ^And a blurry shot of how things look at the moment, with phase 2 of the basing.  Essentially, I wound up using that mix of four different types of ballast that I'd created a decade and a half ago (I mixed up a LOT of it o_O) to help even out the transitions, as well as any garish spots where the terrain paste didn't quite solidify how I was thinking it was going to...  And also as a bit of an element to tie both factions together, since they're both technically fighting over Svarlheim, or however it's spelt 
       
      Yeah, I know it's yet another WIP thread for me, but my Infinity focus shifted from N3 to Code One for the moment due to smaller table size, and newer, more streamlined rules.  That and a desire to give these minis a shot, and to hopefully see about painting them faster than my usual pace

      Infinity: Al Fasid w/HMG
      By WhiteWulfe
      The Al Fasid, also known as "The Corrupted", are HaqqIslam's heavy troopers that will get the job done no matter the cost.  Their methods aren't always the prettiest, and they're never the stealthiest, and they have their own tricks they bring with them to the table.  They don't care about glory, and are solely chosen for their solid record of getting the job done.  Some enjoy it, some are in it for the solid paycheque, and others do it because the only thing theyy know what to do is fight.  Today I have the HMG version, who also conveniently carries a grenade launcher that can shoot either regular grenades to keep enemy heads down, or smoke grenades to provide additional cover.  Oh, they also pack anti-personnel mines with them too...
       


       
      Since the "tactical rock" under his right foot kind of looked rather strikingly like the backpack for a Yu Jing (even though I'm not having any luck finding models to confirm this), I decided to try and test out my planned colour scheme for them.  That's right, I'll be going with a dark raver / cyberpunk burnt neon pink for their general colour, because why not - I'm going with hot orange for my Haqq...
