Infinity: WIP Infantry

I finally started work on my Infinity contingent. The test model:

The main wash is still drying so she has more of a wet look than she will when finished.

I’ve been debating their color scheme for some time.  Ideally I think I’d want a very clean look, with a bright bright yellow and a bright bright white. But that would take a lot of work to do well. But I think this scheme will grow on me. The bases are going to be a brighter green than my usual, which will help make the model pop. At a minimum it achieved the objective of using brighter colors than my 40k models, almost literally none of the same paints, and being fairly fast to do.

Details are:

  • Primer: Army Painter spray white
  • Armor & Head: Averland Sunset x2, wash with Casandora Yellow
  • Body: Ceramite White; pick out pads, holsters, and straps with Dheneb Stone; buckles with Leadbelcher; wash with Seraphim Sepia
  • Gun: Midnight Blue, pick out cartidges and barrels with Leadbelcher, wash with Nuln Oil
  • Visor: Midnight Blue, Enchanted Blue centerline
Colors!

Colors!

Also, I’m going to have to work on not defaulting to male pronouns given that a whole bunch of Infinity models, like this one, are female.

Infinity: WIP Pan-O Starter

I finally assembled my Pan-Oceanic Military Orders starter box.

Good thing they look awesome, ’cause they were a huge pain in the ass to assemble. For one thing, metal. Bleh. For another, what the hell is up with the little radio antennas on their heads? Those are each separate little tiny pieces. The models consist of the entire body, the gun arm, and… that tiny little ridiculous piece, literally as big as a grain of rice. If they couldn’t be molded integrally with the head and body, why not make a whole separate head? That’d be more poseable and way less fiddly than trying to glue those in. Hopefully all their arms don’t fall off the first time I go to play, though that’s definitely going to happen.

At any rate, at least this box is all done now. In no way am I looking forward to assembling more of these, and I’m not sure at all what colors or approach I’m going to take in painting these guys, but definitely am eager to give the game a whirl.
