Sunday upheaval.

Today has been a fairly busy one for Inso; what with shopping and recycling but he has still managed to finish painting his second squad of Genetic Infantry. He sent over this pic and says that all that needs to do is finish off the bases:

In other news, Inso has been appraising his troops for his Grymn Urban Army. He has already assembled an assault platoon and has painted about half of it (as has been seen on this blog) but he has one or two more troops to go:

In the box above, we have 2 light infantry platoons (24 troops in each), a heavy infantry unit (16 troops), a support platoon (16 troops) and a Kindred sniper unit (12 troops).

So...why has he been looking through his army box? Well...he now has £150-00 to spend at Hasslefree Miniatures, thanks to a great deal over at their site. That has meant that he has been thinking about what is needed to finish off the troops for his Urban army.

Obviously, he'll need a command platoon but he has some other issues about his army.

First of all, the light infantry squads only have flamers for support so he wants to swap them with some grenade launchers and plasma rifles.

Secondly, he needs to add a couple of standard troops to finish off one or two of the fire teams (as they are a couple short).

Finally, he needs to make a decision about what sort of heavy support he'll be taking. Will he go for more support platoons or tanks or even fliers?

With so much money to spend, it may take a while to come to a proper decision BUT with a few new releases, I expect that time will suddenly be less of an issue!

If the worse comes to the worse, there are a few Hasslefree adventurers that would make great Genetic Infantry, so I don't think actually spending the money will be a problem.

It is bingo night again so the hobby will take a break for the evening. I doubt very much if there will be any updates until next Sunday as Inso has a busy week at work so I hope to see you then.

Catch you later!

Monday Rogues.

I received this pic of the first squad of Genetic Infantry today:

Click the Pic!


As you will quickly notice, they all have blue skin. That is because they are very loosely based on the genetic infantry from Rogue Trooper (shown in 2000AD comics). You will also notice that the bases haven't been textured yet...that, apparently, is next on Inso's 'to-do' list. I think that they will fit in very well with the existing GI project minis:

What will be next? Well I honestly couldn't say. I saw Inso looking at a box of Perry Miniatures plastic American Civil War minis a little while ago today...so your guess is as good as mine!

I would probably expect him to start the next squad of GIs, get bored half way through and then finish off his 3 half painted starship crew...or maybe crack on with his little Grymn vehicle project when the wheels and stuff turn up from Lego.

Catch you later!

Blue Sunday...

Inso hasn't really achieved very much recently so the fact he has sent some pix over is a bonus. These are two miniatures from Heresy. They are the Major and Ellie from the sci-fi range. Inso has decided to paint them in the style of Rogue Trooper (from 2000AD comics) which means that they will be Genetic infantry with blue skin. In the first pic, the colours are there and they were considered finished apart from the base:



In the following pic, the base has been painted and because Inso wasn't happy with the first paint-job (after seeing the pic), he has added another highlight layer to the skin and clothing:


So what else has he been upto? Well the OGrymn are back in the cupboard for the time being, the Tyranids are back in their box and so are all the Grymn.

On the table, at the moment, are five VASA marines from Void, a small male miniature which is being converted for a sculpting competition and the start of a completely different sculpt...a Grymn jetbike (which is being sculpted with a view to casting it in the future). Inso has said that at the moment there will be no pictures because he doesn't have much to show...but the jet-bike and competition conversion are coming along nicely.

Catch you later.
