Community Spotlight: Infinity Operatives, Fabled Orcs & Hive Gangers
March 2, 2018 by brennon
We're back after a great Fabled Realms Beta Weekend to show off some of the painting you guys got into over the last week or so. Make sure to check out what we picked out from the Hobby & Painting Forum this time around.
We've got some great looking pieces to show off from a range of different games...
Cube Jager by wildchevy
First of all, we're looking at the work of wildchevy. This here is the Cube Jager from the world of Infinity which looks awesome; painted up like a proper anime-style hero.
As well as working through techniques that had been learned concerning non-metallic metals, wildchevy also had a go at some serious blending techniques too. I would say that this fellow has come out very nicely indeed, especially when you see the clash between the bright orange and the dark camouflage underneath.
wildchevy has been doing some awesome work on miniatures over the past few years, and this shows off just how far he has come since kicking things off here on Beasts Of War. The little details really stand out, something which you need to concentrate on when you're looking at painting up the miniatures from the world of Infinity.
The base also works very nicely too, providing you with a cool alternative to the outdoor battlefields you're normally playing on.
Fabled Realms Orc by noyjatat
Considering we had a Fabled Realms Beta Weekend a few days ago, I thought it apt to draw attention to one of the awesome schemes that came out of the three days. Here is this awesome Orc, painted up by noyjatat.
There were loads of awesome models painted up over the weekend but this one certainly caught my eye, shown here standing beside the Witch's Hut that we had set up on one of the Summer tables. The work on the dark metal and Orc skin really stuck out to me.
You can see more of the detail on the back of the figure above. I think this shows off some great skill, the basing working very well as a frame to the model. The notched sword damage has come out well too, and the scar across the Orcs face.
I can't wait to see what noyjatat does with his Goblins and more going forward...
Necromunda Gang Leader by irishsteve
We also look towards the world of Necromunda once again and see how irishsteve did painting up this awesome model for his Hive Gang. This is The Morrigan for his gang, The Sullen Banshees.
The model is looking exceptionally awesome, especially the work that has gone into the metals here and that ice-blue hair. I LOVE the hair, in particular, bringing forth a seriously punk edge to the model. The subtle colour choices also work very well and tend to relate back to the artwork we've seen for Necromunda and Warhammer 40,000 in the past.
The level of quality goes up once again when you see the work on the coat which hands from her back.
You can imagine her having a significant amount of swagger as she makes her way through the Underhive. A very cool model with a paint scheme that really makes me want to get stuck into Necromunda and paint up one of these gangs.

Well done to each and every one of you, I hope for those who tune into the weeklys you know how impressed I am by all of your painting 🙂
Well done guys some awesome painting 🙂
Very high standard this week. Well done everyone!
Well done all. Very nice.
This was a nice surprise, so many lovely models in the Fabled Realms range and super chuffed to have been selected with some other lovely models by wildchevy and irishsteve who have done awesome work on their miniatures.
The great level of detail on the minis from Fabled Realms really helps to achieve a nice paint job and looking forward to painting some more when time allows.
Your orc is reaching out for a new level of orcsomeness. And you got a new karma level now. Well deserved!
@jemmy thank you
Excellent metals on that gang leader ! Was the breastplate inspired by my mirror tutorial, I wonder ? Even if not, it’s excellent. Also, superb weathering on that Cube Jager, and simple but effective treatment of that huge orc. Flawless… Bravo everyone !
Wow great job’s love the shading n blending of the colours on the figures.
Great winners, well done!
All great 😀 , but the ” winner ” 😉 for me is the Pitfighter Sellsword Orc, they are looking like my FR faction of choice. And he could fall sideways into my Frostgrave Warband as well.
Thank you for the shout out and kind words.
Some outstanding paintwork on show. I like the Cube Jager the best as it’s exactly what I tried to do with Infinity models, but couldn’t pull off. I need a plan B
Lovely work fellas and I really want to paint my own orc as I really like that design and the other designs for the races in Fabled Realms.
Great work, everyone!
