Cyberpunk ninjas and dire bikers

I got recently invested in the Japanese Sectorial Army in Infinity. I got my hands on a set of Karakuris some time ago in a tournament and I already had some japanese miniatures lying around from some other infinity projects like Defiance and Outrage, so when we got a pretty good discount on our local store for the core box I decided to take the plunge. Not much time later, the Interplanetario allowed me to get my missing japanese troopers for a pretty hefty discount from the Corvus belly factory itself.  Shinobu Kitsune from defiance was my test model.…

You sound like a separatist!

As a CIS player on SW Legion, when I entered Shatterpoint I told myself I would steer clear of the droid army. Too many an evening painting droids has left me a bit tired of the good ol' B-1 battle droids. However, the starter box felt a bit disjointed with Ventress and Maul as main antagonists.  I don't really see Maul and Ventress teaming up while commanding CIS troops, so with the new releases I got myself a Grievous and a Dooku box to make my CIS playable as a cohesive force. My droids were done in the same Legion schemes, with simple metà…

Warcrimes on Geonosis

Recently I got caught in the Shatterpoint mass hysteria that's going on in my city. Everybody and their dog got the core box and a pretty reasonable community has formed around the game. I must say the sculpts are lovely and really enjoyable to paint, and they are quite fast too, as they have official colors you don't have to worry on color choices as there are a lot of resources online to check on the colors of the characters. As I play the CIS in Legion I decided that I wanted to make a GAR strike team for Shatterpoint. With the announcement o…

Experiments in 3D basing

Lately most of my projects related to the Combined Army where put on a halt due to basing issues. When I began my Onyx force I had just taken a small sculpting class and I was all hyped up to sculpt my own bases for my miniatures. While this was fine for some few models, as the army expanded this turned out to be a horrible solution as sculpting ended up being the chokepoint for my progression on the miniatures. It didn't take long for me to end up buying resin bases. While this was a faster solution it came at an increased price I wasn't sure I…

Correction needed

I've been in a Corregidor streak as of late. The new Lobos and Diablos got me so hyped that I ended buying a lot of troops that I was never too fond in the past to give them a try with an open mind. The new Wildcats found out a way to my painting table somehow during this testing phase.  While I still don't find them to be particularly good troops, they ended up findinig a place on my lists as duo partners for my Gator. The new models are really awesome and are some of the coolest medium infantry designs in infinity (I love those pauldrons!) . A…
