    Actually I like that, gives a character to the model.

    I present: My Moonraker proxies. I was very much caught off-guard when I saw the official models – in my mind they were bipedal robots like everything else in Infinity. I also think they just look weird. So I am using the new Warcor and it's limited edition version as my Moonrakers:

    I also love bipedal robots. They're the main reason for me to start O12.

    You should look into Tunguska as well (and probably OSS) ;)

    I just looked up the Moonrakers. I have to agree with you, using the WarCor is a better option. Looks cooler than the silly wheeled remotes.

    I like the figures Moonrakers but just not as that. But I like retro-scifi and they have that look for me. But I agree, the Warcore is a perfect choice.

    Really clever.

    The way you painted them make them look so different form the official models, though late no how come you didn't fill the "press" since you repurposed the units?

    Well spotted! I actually filed it away on the official one, but forgot to do it on the warcor-only edition. Was kinda bummed when I realized it too, but by then I had already airbrushed him and didn't want to start all over again.

    Anyway, here's a mini I'm more satisfied with – the preorder-exclusive Raveneye:

    The changed of the theme is so stunning, the models look far better.

    That's great praise, thank you! I have to admit though, there are more enjoyable themes to paint. I did however have fun with this next one, especially since I got to try my hand at another one of Sergio Luque's paintjobs – the insane reflections on the Nimrod's helmet:

    Some may already have noticed it but I realize that I missed something quite important in this army: your bases !!!

    They are so simple but so effective.
    Not only the simple with stripe/gradient is easy and quick to make and it provide an elaborate result (yes, quite a paradox here), but the color choice is really adding something to the mini paint scheme.

    I wish I can handle color choices only half as well as you do.

    Indeed the bases look simple but very effective - even the out of place tactical things look somehow good on them ... whyever ,-)
