Miniature Spotlight: Infinity - ALEPH - Eudoros, Myrmidon Officer

I finally finished Eudoros, Myrmidon Officer from the Steel Phalanx Sectorial Starter Pack:

 

 

This one was sitting on my painting shelves since June 2016 and I'm very happy that he is finally done and ready for the gaming table. :) 

Miniature Spotlight: Infinity - ALEPH - Myrmidon Officer (with Boarding Shotgun)

I finally finished the awesome Myrmidon Officer (with Boarding Shotgun). :D This was one of my most used test miniatures for the paint scheme of my ALEPH army and I actually repainted her 3 times before this final paint theme:

I'm really surprised that most of the details are still showing and extremely happy that the final paint job on the miniature still turned out ok. :)

Miniature Spotlight: Infinity - ALEPH - Netrod (AI Beacon)

And with the 3 Netrods (AI Beacons) I'm finally done with the Aleph Support Pack:

I really like the look of these Netrods in combination with the base design. Works really well for me. :) There is one miniature left in the Support Pack, the doctor/engineer but I will paint her some other time. She is not available in the Steel Phalanx list so I don't need her at the moment.

Miniature Spotlight: Infinity - ALEPH - Yudbot (Ghost: Servant)

I finished the next two miniatures for my ALEPH Steel Phalanx army, the Yudbots (Ghost: Servant) from the Aleph Support Pack:

These two were sitting on my painting shelves almost finished all summer long. I'm very happy that they are finally done and ready for the gaming table. :)

Miniature Spotlight: Infinity - ALEPH - Achilles V2 in Hoplite Armor with Multi Rifle and CCW

I love the look of this miniature. This is the Achilles Version 2 in Hoplite Armor with Multi Rifle and CCW. I used the Special Editions head for this pose because I preferred a warcry-like Achilles way more then the calm looking head of the regular V2.  The design of this miniature (as with many Infinity models) is so great. It looks just spectacular on the gaming table.

And I'm beyond thrilled that the paint job worked out well too. I'm still extremely surprised when that happens even though I worked very hard the last couple of years to improve my painting skills. I still have a lot to learn but I'm finally at a point where I'm happy with the level of skill I have achieved.

I painted Achilles in roughly 20 hours (this includes assembly, cleaning, priming etc) over a time period of three days. I used an airbrush and a traditional brush.
The armor colors are Black (Model Air 057), German Camo Beige WWII (Model Color 821), Deck Tan (Model Color 986), German Grey (Model Air 052), Barley Grey (Model Air 051), White (Game Air 701).
For the sword I used Imperial Blue (Game Air 720), Ultramarine Blue (Game Air 722), Magic Blue (Game Air 721) and Electric Blue (Game Air 723) and as final Highlight a 1:1 mix of Electric Blue (Game Air 723) and White (Game Air 701). I think I used to many blues which probably wasn't necessary to get the final looks, I will experience with lesser blues the next time. I don't remember which color I used for the hilt but it was either Plague Brown (Game Color 036) or Scrofulous Brown (Game Color 038). Shadow layer was 1:1 with Black (Game Color 051) and Highlight was 1:1 mix with White (Game Color 001).
The Skin was done with Heayy Skintone (Game Extra Opaque 140), and Pale Flesh (Gane Color 72003),  Hair was done with Desert Yellow (Warpaints) and Pale Yellow (Game Color 097).

The Techniques I used include black lining (with Liquitex Carbon Black Ink) and Edge Highlighting (Ivory 918 Model Color). I used cork for the street/gravel/city parts of the base, Rough Grey Pumice Texture from Vallejo for the earth/dirt parts and the "early fall" two colored tufts from Mininatur for a bit of vegetation. 

Miniature Spotlight: Infinity ALEPH Steel Phalanx Group Shot June 2016

Here's what my group shot of my Steel Phalanx Sectorial Army looks like after the first month of painting:

I'm very happy with the color scheme and the overall look of the army. :) On my painting schedule for July are the Yudbots and Netrots from the Aleph Support, a Dactyl Engineer, Diomedes, one Ekdromoi with HMG and one with a Combi Rifle, the Myrmidon Hacker and the Myrmidon Officer from the Steel Phalanx Box Set and maybe Achilles and Ajax. Let's see how it goes. :)

A quick group shot of the Myrmidons from the Myrmidons Box and the Myrmidon (Spitfire):

After finding the right color scheme it was really fun to paint the Myrmidons. I tried two different color schemes before choosing this one and for a short time it almost felt like I would never finish this box. Instead I would paint the same miniatures over and over again, for all eternity. ;) But now they're done and I'm really happy with the results. YAY! :)

Miniature Spotlight: Infinity - ALEPH - Atalanta, Agêma's NCO

I was collecting quite a few Infinity miniatures from different armies just for the beauty of the amazing miniatures. But when a couple of friends started playing the game somewhat regularly I decided to contribute to the list of playable ( = painted) armies and so I started painting the ALEPH Steel Phalanx Sectorial Army.
After a couple of failed attempts at finding a color scheme (I tried a Blade Runner and a Deus Ex scheme, but they just didn't work for me) I decided to try a scheme somewhat close to the original colors:

These colors work pretty well for me and I'm quite satisfied with the result.
I painted Atalanta using an airbrush and with a traditional brush. The Colors are Black (Model Air 057), German Camo Beige WWII (Model Color 821), Deck Tan (Model Color 986), German Grey (Model Air 052), Barley Grey (Model Air 051), White (Game Air 701) and for parts of the multispectral visor a 1:1 mixture of Ghost Tint Green (D6-169) and Ghost Tint Plasma Fluid (D6-180) from Minitaire.
