Well, the blog has been a bit quiet lately; must be time to break the silence with something fresh and different!
I've had these miniatures sitting about for quite a while now, and I was looking through my drawer the other day and I decided that it was high time I finished them. Those of you with good memories may remember them from my Painting Orange Tutorial from a while back.
If you don't play Infinity, they're from a faction called Yu Jing that are basically a conglomerate of futuristic Chinese and Japanese factions. These guys are specifically from the Japanese Sectorial Army. Like I mentioned, I did a tutorial on this color scheme a while back for anyone interested. Technique wise, I use the airbrush to lay down a blend and use a bit of pre-shading. The thing that I really like about this scheme is how saturated the colours look. It's basically the same as my Necron scheme, although for these miniatures I went a bit further to get a higher quality look.
Another thing that you might find interesting is that they're all metal. A rarity in this day and age, but the detail is great, and given how much of a minefield resin can be, I'm glad they went with metal for the whole Infinity range.
I figure it was a weekend well spent. I'm hoping to continue with the force soon, but with Salute breathing down my neck (well the painting competition anyway) I might have to hold off till I can finish Greyfax up, as I still have a long way to go.
Well, that about does it for now. If you like these, feel free to check out the PanOceania stuff I painted too:
Very nice work, love the contrast of the orange and blue.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm really happy with the scheme. Like I've said before, I use the same one for my Necrons, but the Infinity models have a lot more detail than plain old Necron Warriors and I think the results are superior because of it. I like painting orange too, it feels daring or something!
DeleteLooks great! Love the orange, especially against the black/blue base!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the bases are a bit of fun. They actually came off of some cheap miniatures from Sedition Wars that I got from ebay to use as zombies for some knock-about games. The bases were too good for that though, so I chopped them up and used them as base toppers for some nicer minis!
DeleteOrange is a nice unique colour scheme, well played.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rory. One of the reasons I like the scheme is that you don't see a lot of orange models.
