An Infinite Problem

Thought it might be handy just to note down each of the processes I used for painting each faction. Now off the bat when I began painting Infinity I was a bit intimidated by those wonderful Angel Giraldez paint jobs and the many (many) superb paintjobs that the community put out, especially as they were (and remain) some of the nicest minis going. I was also in the process of returning to the hobby having found myself struggling towards the end of 4th/start of 5th ed 40k completing projects. This meant that even with the reduced model count of Infinity I wanted something relatively quick that also would highlight the sculpted detail on the minis. With this in mind I opted to break from the safety of priming in black, and delved into Army Painters range of coloured primers and colour matched Warpaints and what could be done with washes & shades.

So my process for the forces of the glorious Hyper-power of Pan-Oceania was thus:

• Primer -Wolf Grey (did try Ice Blue to start but it came out very coarse and grainy)
• Block in base colours (in this case red for the the NCA Sectorial, dark brown for the fatigues, dark green for the CSU’s dress, orange for the coat inner and dark grey for the coat exterior)
• Wash the whole model with Nuln Oil (or equivelant)
• Repaint the armour with the base colours leaving the wash in the recesses.
•  Paint all straps, webbing, bags & backpacks with Steel Legion Drab, and the weapons with Boltgun Metal.
• Wash the weapons with Black Ink and the webbing with Aggrax Earthshade.

At this point I was more or less done, barring getting the bases done and any skin if the model had it exposed or any unique elements. Now yes there is no highlighting done here, but overall I was quite happy with the overall effect.
