Infinity: Al Fasid w/HMG

Recommended Posts

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... :devil:

Gotta be ready for any situation. 
Looks good! You did a good job on him!

I can’t say anything about color, my my Terran alliance fleet is painted Arctic blue and red.

They apparently don't care if the enemy sees them coming, either. :) 

 

Nice work. Hope they play as well as they look.

Many thanks! 

 

I think the biggest thing (other than not caring much for the studio paint job, at least replicating) is while I could go with typical desert dwelling kind of colours, I really wanted them to pop.  I also like oranges and reds, so it felt more natural for my force to go that direction. 

 

Apparently it's also a subconscious nod to red vs blue, since my force's dominant colour is red, and Rune's is blue/purple... :lol:

Indeed!  I think part of it for me was challenging myself to paint an army that stands out but still looks good... And isn't my usual "winds up being dark despite saying for sure this time, I'll have it brighter" ^_^

 

We will see how my luck goes, they can pack a good punch but because of such heavy infantry tend to me in the top three of  most people's "needs to go down" lists.  Which can be good at the same time, if they wind up burning a bunch of orders to dislodge him...
