Purple wash for the capes and coats.

I waited for the black wash to dry (have you ever had that problem of washes bleeding into each other if not fully dry? I dislike that). And then I applied a red wash over the orange bad coat armor (I do prefer to use a wash in the same hue as the base coat most of the time.) Ultimately I think I still want to highlight the armor more to the bright orange department, but that's for later. Now I have to look ahead and decide on a basing scheme.

Applied a black wash to the grey base coated guns and back packs.

Done being relative. ;) I'm just shooting for table top quality. I can do all the finishing touches during the next escalation league.

I decided to go with a garish contrast for the armor. So bright orange base coat applied to chest arm and thigh armor plates.

Uh oh! Indecision is my enemy in this hastened process. Should the armor be dark blue, green, something garishly different like red? Couple test models and I'm no closer to deciding. In the meantime I have a base coat on the guns and backpacks

Here you go RD. See, I was on the list. I'm glad you have added me again :) thx.

I would hope so RD :) I was on the list two months ago - and I dont think I was booted for bad behavior :)

Washed every model in blue. I like the overall effect and color gradient, but know I have to decide on the color for the armor.

I really like the paint scheme. And your custom modeling is great. Thanks for the pictures Rudra. I look forward to seeing you at Rampage.

Thanks Rudra. Okay they're all primed white. This is going to save me a step as far as getting them painted up with the color scheme that I'm looking forward to. Most important thing to remember here is that we're painting on a schedule, not for a painting award :-)

Oh thank goodness they are assembled... Whew. Anyone ever say, "hey, metal models are a pain! " naw, I'm sure I'm the only one :)

So, what is so tempting to us gamers that would drive us to error 2 weeks before a tournament? I'll tell you what... For the last month I have been debating, dragging my feet, and generally spinning the hamster-wheel I call a brain about starting a new army. To make matters worse, if I was going to start a new army I wanted to have it table-top ready by rampage. As the Christmas season passed and family flew out of town, the craze of plastic-crack came over me. 2 weeks before Rampage I made my new-years resolution: I would buy a whole new army and have it painted to table-top standard by tournament time... So, generally not advisable :) ... but what can I say... the gamer crazy took over. :) The models arrived with 8 days till Rampage... :) its only 19 models... how hard could it be? -lol- Pictures to come, Seth P.S. "A sucker is born every time tournament season rolls around" :)

Sadly, I will miss this week. But I will be at home making some progress on terrain and models. Have fun, and I will try to catch you guys on a Sunday soon.

I'm glad to say that I will be there this Sunday, for the final week of escalation.

Working on the new solar powered power station building. Especially enjoying the ribbed look to the sides of the building. It with house 4 solar panels. And power up top 3 other connected buildings.

im planning on being there. And we all know my crazy yu jing boys will be running full speed into your deploy zone :)

ok, back from all my trips. now, looking forward to attending wow next sunday.

You are right on target Jay. That kickstarter was actually my inspiration. And im adding solar power as an extra challenge :)

Im in! put me on the list RD. I'm looking forward to my first infinity tournament :)

This just in from China, my new shipments of larger more capable solar panels. I'm looking forward to some crazy power shenanigans

finished the building that i am modifying for Rudra (sans the solar array for now). I will try to get a picture to post soon, but I'm excited to show the results at club tomorrow. Quite a few little add ons since the last picture.

I hope that someone is around to hang out after at green dragon. I finally got the ok from the wife to stay out a little later :)

I will be there with 0 knights. But we at yu-jing head quarters try to make up for our lack of knights by handing out monks sticks and telling them to try not to die :)

Before and after pictures. Thank goodness for wash and highlights :-)
