Test paint scheme




Here are the two line kazaks with white armour plates.



This was done using a base of dheneb stone, highlighting up to pure skull white over 4 layers. It looks good in my opinion. The camo was scorched brown, calthan brown, Macharius Solar Orange, then chaos black. The metal is done with a basecoat of boltgun metal, highlights of chainmail, then barab black wash. I might do another black wash to tone it down even more. The fur is khremi bown, base, then dheneb stone overbrush, and a light overbrush of dheneb stone/skull white mix. The black is still to be painted.

Now I cannot decide whether to leave the packs black, or change them to a light bestial brown. I also need to decide where my turquiose squad markings are going to go. I might do those on a white background as well. Oh how I miss shoulder pads!

Starting Ariadna

I have decided to start playing infinity and am going with ariadna. I have looked at playing the game for a while, but it took me a long time to really get into it. There were two things that really pushed me to start. The first was the Ariadna Autocannon Tankhunter model which I think is so amazing. The second was the fact that my local games club (www.crossgamingclub.com) was getting more and more people playing, and I wanted to get in on the act.

I have chosen Ariadna, though I keep getting tempted by other factions (pan-oceania for the remotes and TAGs, haqqislam for some amazing troops, nomads for some more amazing models.....crap, now I am thinking of changing!). I really love the tankhunters, vet kazaks, moblots, and a bunch of others. I have gone ahead and bought a bunch of models, and thanks to some good deals i have got quite a few.

Vet Kazak with rifle
Vet Kazak with T2 rifle
Vet Kazak with HMG
9 Line Kazaks with rifles
Line Kazak with HMG
Dog Warrior
SAS with rifle
3rd Highlander Grey
Chasseur
Tankhunter with Autocannon
Scout sniper

I have built and based these, and will bring some pictures of these soon. Hopefully I will also get a test model painted up and posted. I am thinking of doing either a night camo scheme or an autumn camo scheme. Which one will I choose? decisions decisions
