Oh no another project! I'm actually pretty excited about this one. I have been watching the Infinity range for quite a while and really took a shine to the models. Recently a friend ran me through a game and I was really impressed. The scale is right up my alley and the way the game plays really interests me; That and seeing cool cyberpunk inspired terrain here and the models themselves sold me :D. For the time being I'm starting up with some Tohaa models. I like the look of them and the notion that they are built around team mechanics and potentially are a machine greater than the sum of it's parts. I wasn't really sure how I would paint them and I suddenly had a diverse group of models I really had no idea how I was going to start painting. They have all languished assembled and primed for over a month and I finally started on a test model just recently. This is my first test fig WIP. I decided to run with cool harmonies on most of him and introduce a warm compliment with a leather combat rig. To further even the figure out I hope to introduce some yellow-orange OSL to the parts that are supposed to light up but I'm slow on that because it's not my strong suit. I found the figure really challenging so far. It actually isn't difficult so much as painting the details uses a very different style of painting than I typically employ. I have been using a lot of paint washes and gently edging the paint onto to fine raised details where I'm normally heavier with the brush on most of the other stuff I paint. My second place force was the Morats because I think think red faced monkey men are badass and since I'm not the most patient or tactical player of games a passionate, facepuching chrge might be a bit of fun too. I really like those models and probably like them the most of all the ones I have seen but I went with the Tohaa group because I liked most of the models across the factions rather than really being into a niche while lukewarm on the CA as a whole.

Thanks Ockman! I'm still not sure what the "finished" scheme will look like for the more detailed models but I did get a symbiobomb finished. It's a simple little model so the paint choices were easy compared the the other more complex figures (Man Infinity models have a lot of details :D ) . As straight forward a paint as it was the base was a pretty important test for the Tohaa project as a whole. I could have gone with far future tech bases but I really liked the alien jungle bases I saw on painted Infinity models I was checking out. I couldn't find any explanation of how people managed it or what they used but I tried to copy the pictures I'd seem with the stuff I had kicking around. I used some sculpting gel, sand, and finished topped the groundwork with some acrylic beads and some turkey seasoning (There aren't any holdiays with turkey for ages so it's OK) .
