Painting - Infinity, Flames of War, and Kensei

Hello Folks,

Time for another painting update. Got a few things finished off.

Firstly I got through the Yu Jing starter that I was working on from the new Operation Red Veil set.

Ninja, Tactical Bow:


Here is the sneaky Ninja with tactical bow.

Zu Yong, Heavy Infantry:


Next is the Zu Yong who is just a normal heavy infantry guy. I kind of like this one the best for some reason.

Hellcat, Hacker:


Next up is the Hellcat drop trooper, who can combat jump in and hack computer or shoot everyone.

Hsien, HMG:


And lasty is the Hsien with HMG who has a multi-spectral visor to discover the invisible people and a big gun to make them dead.

Full Group:


Here is a shot of the full group together, ready to start some trouble. I like how they turned out, a bit simple with mostly just black and yellow but I think it works. I tried a game with these guys last Friday and found it to be fun, always good to try out a new army. I ordered some new stuff to reinforce up to a more full army, basically another ninja and some crazy samurai type guys so will have them whenever they get in. could be awhile.

Afrika Krops:


I also did a very small amount of stuff to flesh out my Afrika Korps for our upcoming early war desert campaign (starts Sunday). In the new book the infantry platoons all have a light mortar team, which is different from how it was in the last campaign so I needed to get a couple of those and likewise a second anti-tank rifle team. You used to be able to get only one of them but now it is one per platoon. I am also planning to do a pair of medium mortars so I will be able to field the full 6, and also picked up a new Stuka. My other ones are all broken and painted badly with no decals so I decided to replace. Turns out you can buy single light mortar teams for $2.50 so no reason not to get them!

Sohei Clan Hero:


Lastly for this week I have finished off another Kensei miniature. This is a hero for the warrior monks which I thought had a neat pose. Working on some Skeleton Samurai now.


Pledge Status 2016:

Total: +54

Thanks;
Mike

  2. No touch ups, just finished the Hellcat and Hsien which weren't done by then.
