Infinity

Hey guys. Been playing Infinity for a little while now but recently got back into it with a passion. Being a lover of painting I decided to start on my Japanese sectorial force. I love the fact that in Infinity 10+ models is all you need for a large battle (although the models are so awesome you inevitably end up buying more). The detail on these are incredible and I highly recommend you have a look at this range if you like painting. Anyways here is the first model I have completed.  It is only a humble line troop keisotsu but I wanted to start with something simple to formulate the colour scheme as I went along. I am very happy with how she came out and will be getting more done in the coming weeks.

I really like the tobi pants.

Been admiring Infinity for a while, some of their models look just amazing.

Also watched a whole series made by MWG on "Learning Infinity"! ^^

Exactly.
Plenty of great details in the model, but got to love those pants the most!

The colour scheme is good, but the gun looks a little bland. Maybe that is just good.

Cheers guys. Aye those are pretty awesome pants she has (or trousers as we like to says here in blighty ). Mngwa I do feel the gun is a little bland compared to the rest of the more colourful model but I was trying to go for a more gritty real world feel to the weapon. It has a few layers of wash and highlights that maybe do not come out too well in the photos, but I do think it is probably the weakest part of the scheme, and probably may need a re-think. Cheers for the input .

But...but...
Sparkly things and stripes would look great on that gun! And bright red colours! And...

Yes it looks good the way it is   

Hehe cheers . I was soo tempted trust me. I have stripes and bright colours on the brain at the moment

Nice work! Infinity is really growing on me, and ever since I saw those new Pan-O Neoterra Bolt sculpts, I really want to get into the game. From what I have seen in the videos, the game seems to be very much like XCOM with constant Overwatch, and pulls off the lethal feel of it very well. Would love to see more of your models for inspiration!

I don't think it is the colour scheme on the gun that is a bit bland, but the gun itself, especially the front half. It does dominate the model a bit and it is quite plain, so perhaps a bit more detail on it? Drill out the holes in each side of the muzzle for starters? Scorck marks around the front?

It is a great model, however, and you have certainly done it justice. Can't wait to see others.

@ Slitcus the Ancient. Thank you . It really is an incredible game with an amazing amount of tactical depth. Every move has to be thought out and the action/reaction nature of it really makes it lifelike and very deadly. Only critisicmfor the game is that the rules are incredibly complicated and the rulebook is poorly laid out. However a new edition is being released later this year that is supposed to address both the issues above and make the game more accessible for new players. I can highly recommend getting into this game.

@ Scantily clad. Thanks . I take your points on board and agree that the gun does indeed dominate the figure somewhat. I like the idea of the scorch marks and think it will add a little interest to the plain weapon. I might add a coloured band somewhere on the gun to add some interest to it too. Thanks for the advice, it is great to get input on stuff like this, especially when testing out the scheme before beginning the rest of my models.

Update. Painted muzzle burn and a green section on the gun barrel/rest. Any better? Too much/little?

That's better. Maybe some clan/kill markings?

Cheers Tengu. I have added more green to the scope area to balance out the gun and add more interest (hopefully). Finished the second of my keisotsu too.

I need some advice from all you guys n gals about my TAG conversion. I have decided to do a bit of a repose as I was not too keen on the fairly static pose of the original. The gun arm has been re-positioned downwards and out to make it look like he is ready to fire. And the sword arm has been chopped and repinned at the elbow for more of an outward arc. I am having a little trouble deciding on the final position of the head and sword arm in relation to the rest of the model.The 2 photos below are the positions I kinda like but would like some input into which one I should go for. I am leaning more towards the second with the head facing down the gun but would like some input.

The second. If hes ready to fire he should be looking where hes firing.

I like the first, he still looks like he is looking in the direction of the gun, but the chin-down pose is a bit more characterful.

Third keisotsu finished. Pretty much the same as the other two other than I have mow added a simple motif onto the shoulder pads to add a little more interest to the model. Think it works overall. Dead chuffed with the base on this one!

That's good. a pattern on his clothes would be most japanesy.

Fantastic work spellcheck2001, I really like how the guns look now. The ivory pistol grips and stock butts are also a very nice touch.

How do you do the leaves on the bases, please?

Cheers tengu. I was thinking of doing a blossom tree up the side of their trousers but did not in the end, as I thought it would make the model too busy.

Thanks scantily clad . Glad the guns are looking better. They were the weak point of the model before as they were so boring just in metal. The leaves are from birch trees but you can buy them online from model shops and the like. Antenocitis workshop do them I think or eBay will have stockists. The un-dyed ones are the best for a natural look (with a brown wash) but you can get all sorts of colours depending on what scheme you are after. The ones on the base above were crushed into shards and then superglued to the base.

Ah, how to see some realistic proportions on weapon and the wielder!

These models are looking great. I had been thinking of getting the Japanese Sectorial for awhile but I Jumped in with Ariadna and Corregidor in the end, really excited to start painting all my stuff.

Please keep posting the stuff that you paint for us to look at!

Awesome cheers. I really like the Ariadna stuff and have played against them a couple of times now and they have so enice tricks. I chose JSA mainl because I love samurai and anime and these guys ticked all the boxes. Looking forward to 3rd ex when combat becomes viable again (yes that's right it will change for the better ). Let me know how you get on as it can be a hard game to pick up but once your toes are set it is thoroughly enjoyable.
