Morat Vanguard Infantry

I only get three glowing lights?!

This is the first finished Morat Vanguard from the Combined Army starter set.  I'll call him Trajan.

What Can Men Do Against Such Reckless Hate?

Almost finished- just need to fix up the OSL

Yes I had some embarassing moments- like gluing the wrong pair of arms onto 2 miniatures.  Hence some of their odd poses.  Still, even with that they are looking totally mean as a Yaogat fire-team.  I still have to a clean up of the miniatures- with their weapon vents and their central power 'stone'- before varnishing.  However, I was so struck by how good they look (as a team) I had to post theses photos.

And Who Are You? The Proud Lord Said...

Base still to be completed.  OSL to perfect.

... That I must bow so low

Only a cat of a different coat

That's all the truth I know

A coat of gold, Or a coat of red

A lion still has claws

And mine are long and sharp, My Lord

As long and sharp as Yours...

Infinity: Yaogat- WIP

The "Blue Steel" look

I have been working on my Yaogat Strike Infantry in the spare moments that real life can give me.

Brutus

Caesar's best mate is almost done.  Just need to clean up the OSL.

Caesar

Tried the plasma gun effect on the... ?plasma gun.  Looks OK.  I'm waiting for some ultra highlight paints to arrive from Games Workshop before I do the final drybrush.

The Photo Looks Better Than It Actually Is....

I'm coming for your bananas!!!!

For the uninitiated, this is a 28mm science fiction model from a game called "Infinity."

He is a "Morat" which is a kind of angry space monkey.  Let's call him Caesar after that evil chimp from Planet of the Apes.

SA5150: AAR: Platoon Attack

Walking into it!

So after a pretty disastrous section patrol into AO Buffel, I decided that the Ark Light Battalion wasn't going to take any further chances.  It's clear that small patrols in SA5150 are likely to get absolutely creamed by even average PEF rolls.  So from now on any operations into District 10 were going to be a lot bigger and more capable.  

Zvezda: BTR-80 Platoon

Lined up.

Painting vision blocks is like painting eyes on 28mm miniatures.  A real pain in the backside.

Just had to get that off my chest.

Zvezda: T-72 Battle Tanks in 15mm

I was fishing around the web for some Russian tanks for MNU and stumbled across The Plastic Soldier Company who were selling some plastic Zvezda T-72 tanks in 15mm scale.

Would mercenaries have tanks?  Well- historically- a certain South African mercenary company fielded T-72s in its operations in African trouble spots.  So I thought it would be fitting for the Ark Light Battalion to have its own armour.
