One: Infinity models! I've got 7 painted and 6 in the works. It's nice to have a project you can take from start to finish in with so few models...
...problem alert! Corvus Belli has a HUGE range of Haqqislam miniatures, and admittedly I have a real plastic and metal addiction problem. My goal, moving forward, is to limit my sickness to one army in a particular range.
With Infinity, the aforementioned Haqqis. With Warmachine, the Protectorate; with Hordes, the Circle. Though admittedly I include Mercenaries and Minions in the Privateer Press range, allowing myself some wiggle room for manic-purchasing.
With Confrontation - forget about it! Every weekend we break out that dead game has me cruising Ebay looking for long OOP models. That I never get a chance to use. *sigh*
Which brings me to my second thought; using models across systems. I've picked up the following models to use in my Inquisitor's Warband, hopefully giving it some additional character. (Keep in mind, I haven't painted mine - these are downloads from the respective publisher's site.)

| I've picked up some lady-friends for my Psyker Pimp. I guess he's withholding toys for tots, or something. |

| This dude screams, "Badass!" Not sure why he screams it, but there you go. |

| This model I converted to use as a Xenos Inquisitor. He looked suitably different from existing models while still maintaining a certain stature. Naturally, this one required some conversion work. |
Anyway, that's where my head is at, as I finish up the Tim That Can's daemons this week. Thoughts?
To put it politely: you're screwed. My eye just started wandering to other minis from GW and my God are there some nice sculpts out there! I made a resolution to expand my horizons this year in order to improve my painting skills with different subject matter. I may have just found a quicker way to empty my wallet ~sigh~ Whatever you do don't look at Freebooter or Hasslefree minis either...
ReplyDeleteHasselfree are lovely and quite "realistic" for miniatures.
ReplyDeleteMan those Haqqislam look great. The colors and bases really work well together.
ReplyDeleteI love the Infinity range and just got into the Aleph. Only issue is that they are such good sculpts I have no choice but to pull outnmy painting A game and expand my skills.
Weak conversion and weak article. Take a class on writing and converting. Better yet, just stop or walk into traffic.
