Sharing my TAK team (and Aleph).

I’ve been using the past year to get some hobby crunch going. After having had some great battles with Aleph - Achilles and the Marut were the models that got me out of GW and into Infinity. I’ve set my eyes on lo-tek Ariadnans, particularly the ruskies, as there is just something soothing about the idea of unleashing 6 antipodes and giggle girlishly in a thick russian accent.

Much of the painting has already been done, mostly basing has been left till the end - and this thread is to get me to finish this project.

 

First up is my ‘Irmadinhos’ sporting a fashionable Urban camo, as they speed across the swamp - doesn’t make much sense, but it makes them stand out in fabulous style.



Would you like to see more?

 

I was asked somewhere else on materials - so I just took a quick snapshot. Here you go.

 

The project so far...



So much basing to do...

 

Next up : “She excelled at animal husbandry, until the day they caught her at it “.

 

This little girl was a rush job for Mayacast’s Masterglass. I didn’t get a prize - but I got a nice model instead.

 

Next in line :

 

So I just did some mass basing.

First up is my Streloks :

 

Then some scouts - I love that standing on the tip-toe. Its such an iconic model :

 

Then a little contingent of SAS for vanilla or proxies :

 

And I just love the Frontoviks. Such menacing models :

 

And just a family photo, now that I’m at it.


Feel free to comment, ask questions, or whatever might pop into your head? :)

 

Thanks. Duroc was a blast to paint - such BIIIG details - If I remember correctly, his vest and paints were painted by doing a zenithal undercoat, then applying thinned layers of Burned Sienna ink by brush. Here’s a WIP :

Later on I gave it a few squirts of Deep Violet ink for shading, and brushed some edge highlights and scratches.

 

Took a trip down memory lane and a detour around my Aleph to mount magnets in their bases. First up Mr. Hammertime!

 

Next up, the model that got me into Infinity. Blondie.

 

And the model that sealed the deal. Pony-Grrrl.

 

After a long grueling session 90% of my Aleph (and 100% of the models I actually use) is now magnetized.



It might have been hard work, but... man is it going to be easier to get out and play - once the plague has passed. No more foam

And yes, my Apple forces are usually led by either Achilles or the Marut.
