Ogre Seth Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 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.

Ogre Seth Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 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 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogre Seth Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 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 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogre Seth Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I will also add you to the Rampage List! I would hope so RD :) I was on the list two months ago - and I dont think I was booted for bad behavior :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last_Bullet Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Dude we are almost at the same spot! Just washed my Infinity last night. Red looks really harsh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EriktheRed Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 i have only one new model to paint that i plan on taking myself. But to be honest I have been playing this game since first edition came out. these newer infinity models are a dream to paint. Looking forward to seeing every ones models Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I decided to go with a garish contrast for the armor. So bright orange base coat applied to chest arm and thigh armor plates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Looking good! You're freaking blazing through those guys! I have 5 to finish, but at this rate you'll probably be done before I am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Done being relative. ;) I'm just shooting for table top quality. I can do all the finishing touches during the next escalation league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Applied a black wash to the grey base coated guns and back packs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Seth Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogre Seth Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Thank you all, for your encouragement and rooting me on. It has been fun to share this little adventure with you all, and I'm excited about the rampage. I have to paint up the bases, but I'm happy with this army for now. During the escalation league I plan on working on the details and highlights. As for playing this force... well, rampage will be my first experiment with them.. so I imagine i will take some good lumps. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
