Hey all! I haven't had a painting thread since the forums switched over, and decided it was time to start a new project on here. To keep myself from buying a ton of new models I've built a single list of Dahshat Company that I plan to produce from start to finish. The models will in some cases be true-to-form, but as it is a merc sectorial I feel like I'm free to proxy in models that I like (so long as they are appropriate). I have a couple already painted up, but they may be switched out with other models I own if I decide they fit the theme better. Also, I work a ton, so hopefully I'll be able to keep a good pace with my painting to keep this thread active. All that being said, this is the list I am starting up: Dahshat Company ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 8 2 BOUNTY HUNTER Sniper Rifle / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife. (0.5 | 21) BOUNTY HUNTER Red Fury / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 21) SFORZA FTO (Holoprojector L1) Viral Rifle + Adhesive Launcher, Nanopulser / Heavy Pistol, Electric Pulse. (0 | 28) GHULAM Doctor Plus (MediKit) Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 16) MIRANDA ASHCROFT Boarding Shotgun, Nanopulser / Pistol, Monofilament CC Weapon, Knife.

(0 | 10) 4 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army I'm just finishing up my first couple of models, so pics will be up in an hour or so.
Here we go, first two models done. Sorry that the quality isn't amazing, But holding the models with my light is the only way I've figured to get even decent pics out of my crappy camera phone. Bounty Hunter with Red Fury (Anaconda Pilot): Miranda Ashcroft (Dart, trimmed SMG into Pistol): Next on the block are Saito and the SMG Bounty Hunter, hopefully pics and progress soon to come! EDIT: Apparently I'm big on the gun-up, hand-on-the-hip pose. Didn't even notice until I saw them together!
Well, as I already mentioned, I am trying to use models I already have and love and that the non-aligned armies are perfect for proxies. Got some work done this week but mostly just base coats and a little shading. Once I have more models to 100%, should be by next weekend, I'll throw up some pics.
I just wanted to say your thread inspired me, and I've stolen your Miranda idea, I didn't have all the models I wanted, but I wanted to do a Dashat Company as a "branch" of Yu Jing since IA really felt like a letdown, as such I'm doing conversions on every model to make them feel more "Yu Jing" -- As well as just work in Models I REALLY like, but otherwise don't have an excuse to use/paint. in some cases its easy swaps like Zhanshi for Ghulams, but in others are going to require much more work. Thank you so much for sharing your work, its really motivated me!
