Hey, thanks for posting the links.

I'd seen the Necron and bloody hand stuff before - another couple of the inspirations for me getting back painting. Great to see some of your larger stuff too. For some reason i couldn't see the boobs - but prob best not to warp my fragile little mind :-)

Did those infinity models ever get finished ? The curvy battle suit is class and the girl with the dreads conversion is stunning - i even like the poise : looks very matrix. Got to say, those Corvus Belli minis are all beautiful. If i ever get round to doing some 28mm i'll have to get hold of some. What i love is that now GW isn't as far ahead of the game ( in terms of quality ) as they were 20 years ago ( in fact they may be slipping behind... ) means you can look around and find some really nice alternative ranges with unusual styles.

ps - There's something labelled "Murat" on your photobucket - looks great - where's she/it from ?

thanks

thats right, i moved the boobs into a seperate album a while back. the pictures can now be found [url=

the infinity models did get finished (and the pics are all at the bottom of that thread) but here is a pic of them all together which is not

corvus belli figures are pretty much all a joy to paint (if not to assemble) and infinity is a really good game. as a startup cost, its very cheap because it's a skirmish game, and the rules are available for free online (but the rulebooks are SO good that you'll want them in person. they have so much background and fluff and beautiful pictures that arent in the online version) so you can buy a full sized army (ie: a standard game size of 300 points. you can play less, and i've heard people play more, but i've never felt the need to go larger) for under a hundred bucks australian. two forces and both rulebooks come out at around $250. the real kicker though, is terrain. infinity needs more terrain than you'd imagine
here's a picture of a table i made, to give you a bit of an idea. Image
you can, fairly easily, spend more time and money on terrain than on the armies playing in it (i didnt, papercraft is cheap, but i know people who have made beautiful tables that have cost them quite a bit

the marut is an infinity figure from an army i do not collect (yet ^_~) called Aleph. its the equivalent of the curvy battlesuit from my army. when it first came out, i was the guy posting the pictures of it into the australian website, so the pictures went into my photobucket. she's a lovely model (though i didnt paint her XD) and one of a great many, but not on my purchasing radar right now. (i have a second infinity force i painted up a while ago but havent photographed. perhaps i'll do that soon)

anyway, here's something cute i did for a painting contest a while back

Hi JTG,

Thanks for the reply/pics/info. Nice hedgehog ! :P

Nice set up - reminds me of my gaming group's Confrontation (GW one) / Necromunda campaign - happy memories...

Funny, I've usually been the strange person in the group (there's always one) who enjoys spending more time on building terrain than painting armies (i guess i'm such a bad player at least that way my models stay on the table ;-)
