Spetsnaz: Sniper Rifle

Sniper rifle.

Another great looking sculpt that I finished at the same time as the Boarding Shotgun model.

I do prefer the HMG version- 4 attack dice are always better than 2- but there is sometimes a need to get that -12 modifier on an enemy total reaction remote and this guy does the job for TAK.

Spetsnaz: Boarding Shotgun

Aerial Deployment: Parachutist

Now this model was an absolute pleasure to paint.

Crisp edges, minimal skin, interesting details all melded together to make an excellent sculpt.

Colonel Voronin and Antipode

Grrrr.

It was supposed to be an easy model to paint with very little in the way of teeny tiny details.

But like all things that look simple- it turned into a painful experience.

Traktor Muls- TAK.

Fire support.

The old green painted Traktors needed replacing.  So I did up two new ones.

Irmandinho: Shotgun

Third time lucky!

I shamelessly (shamefully?) ripped off a list from the internet that had three Irmandinhos... so I had a great excuse to get this sculpt and paint it up!

Kazak: Missile Launcher

Tank hunting

As a follow up to the defensive link idea- I painted up a Kazak missile launcher to bolster up the "go second" link team.

Although not a terribly amazing shot, the extra +3BS for the link team, Sixth Sense Level 2 (no surprise shot through smoke for you!) and +1 Burst makes this guy a reasonably dangerous ARO piece.  

Kazak Light Grenade Launcher

Speculative fire is always needed for ODD on suppression

Nothing quite like painting the same model for a second time.

With two USAriadna grunt support weapon packs, I figured I might as well paint the second LGL in Kazak colours and say it "counts as" a Kazak LGL.

More Kazaks

Looks

Being caught up in the whirlwind of the past 6 months I haven't had the time to do much hobby.

Though now confined to quarters at least I can do some blogging of what I've managed to paint.

Irnandinhos with Chain Rifles

Superior scavenger.

Booty level 1, scavenger, engineer, smoke grenades and 8 points.  What's there not to like?  

Strelok K-9 Unit

Sensor and follow up with a Trench Hammer 

To complete the Strelok mini I had, I painted up his off sider- the K-9 Unit.  

Dog Warrior- Dog Form

Rawr!

I'm not a fan of the concept but the in game utility of this model is undeniable- particularly in light of the new changes to Total Immunity.  

In it's second game it landed amongst a link team and spread chain rifle love around- taking out 3 link members and knocking down a sniper nearby.  Admittedly on the very good end of the probability curve but a threat that can't be ignored.

Strelok: T2 Marksman Rifle

Killing Snorks from afar.

I've been sick. 

So it's catch up time!  I present the latest Bolt Action-esque paint job with a Palmenmuster jacket.

Strelok: Submachine Gun

Eichenlaubmuster camouflage.

I've had this Bolt Action itch for a while now.  I do also have a huge lead pile to get through.

So I decided to try out some Bolt Action paint schemes on my Ariadna miniatures to freshen me up a bit from the pain that is trying to paint multicam.

Beyond Coldfront: Vassily Plushenko

You!  You should be painting!

I wasn't that enamored of the model... but now he's painted- I'm very happy with him.

I've gone with the usual darker, grimier camouflage style rather than the shiny NMM on the studio scheme.

Operation Coldfront: Ratnik

Stormshield not included...

Oh my goodness... it's been a long time since the last update.

I have spent the last few months painting terrain for a second Infinity table for a recent satellite tournament.  I had a stack of Warsenal terrain that needed doing - especially since it had sat in shrink wrap for 4 years! 

In any case- with the terrain (mostly) done- it was time to get back on track with TAK.

Beyond Coldfront: Frontovik Engineer

When is all this going end?

This guy was a grind to paint!  So many details!

But... persevered and finished him off.

Operation Coldfront: Tankhunter AP Rifle

Shooting at aeroplanes.

I wanted to speed paint this model... sadly, it had too many details that needed attention!

Veteran Kazak- AP HMG

5 Burst is Best Burst.

I was motoring along Operation Coldfront when it occurred to me that I needed a burst 5 AP HMG in any TAK link I was going to put down on the table.

Hence I got this guy done.

Operation Coldfront: Veteran Kazak AP Rifle

Chasing those Stalkers out of the Zone.

I wasn't that much of a fan of the model until I put some paint on it... now I love it.

I also made an effort to use saturated colours and thus accentuate the contrasts on the armour.  it really helps make the model 'pop' on the table top.

Operation Coldfront: Line Kazak- Rifle 3

Yeah, she mad now.

I'm steadily motoring my way through Operation Coldfront and experimenting with a multicam recipe I found online.  

I haven't got it down pat as yet... maybe after a few dozen models.
