    Wow it has been a few months o_O last I checked it was the beginning of June and now it is suddenly August?!

    Anyway I have been painting some infinity aliens recently, here are some of the Tohaa I have been working on.

    warden202407_tohaa WIP 1.jpg

    I have been using a mix of contrast paints and other paints for these guys, still sorting out the scheme a bit.

    The Tohaa specifically are the dudes with the "artichoke" hair. They are an OOP faction, but they recently had a reprint run that I decided to buy into. To supplement them I also purchased a few other infinity Aliens like the buglike Exrah, who I will use to fill out the force as proxies.

    The Exrah below I actually won during the last Infinity mercenary campaign league where my X-Men Nomads came in 4th place overall!! (out of 8!).

    warden202407_tohaa WIP 2.jpg

    For this next season of mercenaries I am running the following batch of minis, they are spread between the Spiral Corps faction and the Onyx Contact Force so I can fit in some Exrah.

    warden202407_tohaa WIP 3.jpg

    They are from left to right: Void Operator Killer Hacker, the ninja first-mate Igao, the Captain Kriigel (who demolished my last opponent with his out-of line-of-sight attacks), and the EXO (Executive Officer) with his plasma carbine. I have been enjoying this batch so far, still need to do the bases.

    I really like the Sukeul Commando, of which there have only been two minis ever released and only one came in the OOP reprint. Fortunately one of the local infinity players has a 3D printer and gifted me two more to paint up. They are really good quality, kudos to the sculptor!

    warden202407_tohaa WIP 4.jpg

    I hope everyone has been having a good summer. I checked my game list over the past year, and I played 27 infinity games + mercenary campaign games over the past year so far! Really enjoying this game.

    Infinity N5 has been announced for next October, didn't think there would be a new edition on the near horizon so soon after I started getting into the game. Looking forward to see what happens, I still have plenty of backlog to go through.

    Posting my Caskuda TAG, he is going to be my big alien robot for my Tohaa force:

    warden20240803_caskuda WIP 1.jpg

    He is made of a resin-type material that made reposing really easy. I like this pose compared to the original, but I may tweak the wings a bit.

    Took some group photos for my Operation Blackwind start box minis.

    Aleph:

    And Haqqislam:

    Very happy with how both groups turned out!

    I finished my Caskuda TAG for the infinity painting contest going on right now!

    warden20240814_caskuda resized 1 base forward.jpg

    I am pretty happy with how he turned out and I am calling him done for now. I enjoyed the conversion/repose process of this mini and the painting process too. Also really enjoyed painting that corpse flower!

    warden20240814_caskuda resized 2 front.jpg

    The base is a bit less "jungle" and reads more "that place in LOTR where Boromir was killed + random corpse flower" than I would have wanted, but I am happy enough with it.

    warden20240814_caskuda resized 3 base right.jpg

    warden20240814_caskuda resized 4 base rear.jpg

    There is a lot of stiff competition out there! Many high-powered painters are participating; if you check out #infinitypaintcontest or #infinityuniverse on instagram there are a ton out there right now.

    Anyway, looking forward to running this guy, hopefully soon!

    Thanks! I highly doubt I am anywhere close to award status given the absolutely astounding work I have been seeing on Instagram recently, but I am glad he is done! I have been enjoying this Tohaa and infinity alien project recently, and took a small detour to complete another rather obscure X-Men!

    Here he is, Gorgeous George!

    warden20240822_infinity_xmen_gorgeous george 1.jpg

    Enjoyed painting this dude. The character is actually a member of the Nasty Boys (Mr. Sinister's henchmen) who has some muddy-transformation, similar to Mr. Fantastic or Plastic-man but looks like he is made of purple mud.

    warden20240822_infinity_xmen_gorgeous george 3.jpg

    He is a Chaksa Longarms model holding a portable autocannon (see: very big gun)

    Greetings fellow lizards!

    I didn't paint much in September but I am hoping to make up for it in Orktober. No orks to paint at this time though, but I did finish the muddy-basing for my Tohaa recently.

    Makauls:

    warden20241009_tohaa makauls.jpg

    I need to add jungle plants but these minis are more than playable now. For the most part these are all old Infinity sculpts, but they are a very nice change of pace from my Haqqislam minis.

    Kamael Infantry and one Sakiel:

    warden20241009_tohaa kamaels.jpg

    Over the last few months I have gotten a few more games in my local Infinity Mercenaries campaign as well. So far we are 1-6 so not that great (technically one of the games was a draw) but I have been having a lot of fun bringing aliens to the table.

    This is another pic of my starter mercenary company:

    warden20241009_tohaa merc company.jpg

    Left to right: Hanz der Hacker (a Void Operator Killer Hacker), Iggy G. Johnson (the Igao ninja warrioress), Captain Kris Kriigel (the leader, a Kriigel Agent and MVP of my team), and Moonface the Commissariat Liaison (the kamikaze EXO Executive Officer with plasma carbine).

    One more game left in the campaign to play, lets hope it's a good one!

    @Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl those look really nice! I have seen the smaller scale from a different company before (Zvezda?) but I have never made anything at that scale. Maint reason why I started making my samurai at 28mm was because I got the Test of Honour skirmish box, and just went with it from there.

    Were I to ever branch out and do a smaller scale these would be a great possibility!

    Took photos of my Kaeltar Specialists today (more Tohaa from Infinity) and I really LOVE how these minis came together :happy:

    warden20241018_tohaa kaeltar specialists 1.jpg

    The helmets, the little coats they have on, the arm armor. These minis are some of the coolest looking dudes in the whole Tohaa range. :cool:

    And of course, they are the ones that bring their pokemon buddies to the battle!

    Thanks @- Q - !

    I have several more Tohaa miniatures getting finished up, and am very excited by my Nikoul Sniper I just finished.

    warden20241018_tohaa nikoul sniper 1.jpg

    I enjoyed how the white armor is turning out for these guys.

    Edit: Though I now realize after posting this I missed coloring his sniper scope lens!

    warden20241018_tohaa nikoul sniper 2.jpg

    And he has a great gun! Looking forward to playing him in game.

    Final unit for the Tohaa that I completed last weekend.

    warden20241027_tohaa kerail preceptor 1.jpg

    Kerail Preceptor and his symbiobeast buddies. Very cool minis, they were the first ones I bought for the faction. Also OOP like the rest of the range; if I hadn't been able to get my hands on these guys I doubt I would have bought into the faction.

    warden20241027_tohaa kerail preceptor 2.jpg

    They took a while to come together but I am very pleased with how they turned out.

    Also neglected to photograph my Sukeul Commandos.

    warden20241103_tohaa sukeul commandos 1.jpg

    Super cool minis, sadly they go for crazy amounts on the internet so I only have one (the lady in the center with the missile launcher on her back). The other two are 3D prints gifted by one of the local infinity players in the area. Love how they turned out, my daughter loves them too and still refers to them as "the hedgehogs."

    Very happy with how the Tohaa force turned out. All the minis in this force are complete now, making it the first Infinity faction that I have actually finished all the minis I own.

    warden20241103_tohaa army 1.jpg

    Got a few more Haqqislam minis I still need to finish :bag: but this was a great side project! :couchpotato:

    Beta:

    The Exrah allies, to be used as many proxies:

    And the rest of the minis, a mix of mostly Ebay finds and a few gifts/tournament wins!
