Bakunin, StarCo, some guys from Corregidor and a few random Miniatures

Again thanks a lot for your kind words! The glow on the hammer actually began as just a doodle with my artist paints which I use in an other project but now I'm happpy I kept it. I lets the Hammer pop and on aa second level it introduces a cross motif to the model which is quite nice.

Furthermore I got my next Mini finished:

My 3rd Sin-Eater! Now I could even play a max AVA Sin-Eater list.

And, since this is my 15th fully painted miniature this year I thought a group shot of all of them would be nice:


This could actually become quite an interesting Bakunin list - if we ignore the Diablo and the Lobo

 

Again, thank you very much guys :)

The last two weeks though I ventured of into the red desert of the colour wheel, since I almost never use that colour on my miniatures, and to make that trip even more adventurous I abandonned my usual paints as well. Thusly my new companions for this trip were:

​

• titanium white
• light ochre
• vermillion red
• ivory black

which I freely mixed together to get the colours I wanted for Ishinomori's skin types, fur and claws/scales/thorns. His pants and gear then were painted in the blueish hues I usually paint my army with.

​

And this actually completes my Zellenkrieger Team:

Yes, trying different techniques is always a refreshing activity! Also doodling on Ishi was kind of a training for a side project of mine:
I bought the Angels starter set from Rapture (a german tabletop game) and I planned to paint them in NMM gold. But that became quite a tough task that I'll tackle again soonish.

Also, since I still had my reds on the wet pallet (those artist acrylics are almost as expensive per ml as GW paints!) I finished another mini:

Umberto the Omn! Despite I can't play him at all since none of my armies can field him I gave him my mercenary firm's colour scheme (TriStar ltd.) with blue, yellow ochre and dark grey.
In hindsight that colour scheme could be seen as a mockery to the official O-12 scheme
Damn that's food for the next campaign!

 

So the paints come in a pasty consistency, thusly you'll need a bit more water or dedicated thinning medium for acrylics to get them to the consitency you prefer. So far I'm quite happy about their base consitency because sharp highlights on edges are easily done, or Ishinomori's eyes. One thing that still irks me though is that they accumulate water from the wet pallet like crazy (e.g. the ochre can turn from paste to thin glaze in a mere hours). So yeah, that's something I have to keep in mind if I take a brake or else. Also the different paints have different coverage abilities but that's actually noted on the tubes! Also the pigments used for the paints are listed on the tubes too, Ninjon explains that quite well.
Also there's a really good video from Marco Frisoni about the Zorn limited pallete technique which brought me to the whole thing

 

Since today's my 10th anniversary with Infinity I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to finally get my long and often postponed conversion done: the BSG/Killerhacker Prowler. This minature is perfect for this day since my first painted Infinity miniature was the ADHL Prowler this mini is based on (hopefully you'll see all three of them painted today, I'm already working on that). So see ya soon

 

Hahaha, thanks a lot! And I hope the next 10 years will be as joyful as the last decade (on average, N4 is still tough to love for me )!

Buuut, now the main star of this day:


I stood close to the Prowlers' colour scheme but did diverge a bit here by introducing a low vis version of my powder blue armour colour, after all he's a Hacker and those guys from IT are always a bit special
Also he's the firs of his peers who sports the actual Bakunin badge instread of the Nomad one and furthermore he didn't recieve the venerated Pulpi patch since this one is exclusive for the original 18 Troopers I played at my first Interplanetario (which was almost eight years ago. Yeah, tell people you're old without telling them ).

 

Thanks s lot! Well, I don't mind. I mean slapping a colour triad on a base rim is no proprietary art But be warned, with this technique you're basically painting three LOF markings on top of each other this'll get you mad eventually (so my suggestion is to use the easiest and laziest way to achive that layered effect)

 

That sounds like a damn good idea.

 

Miniature #19 this Year, also my contribution to a local painting contest:

Uhahu (my third)!
