Ajax the great

 The alien threat is getting closer to the Human Sphere and, to defeat it, action must be taken quickly. That is why the A.I. Aleph created the sectorial army of the Mirmidons, great soldiers full of strength and passion. Among them stands out Ajax The Great, a character created by Aleph and inspired by Achilles.

This miniature was painted some time ago, started during a workshop and finished later some time after. I entered to Leganes contest in 2020 (last time I entered to a contest) and won silver at master fantasy painting. For some reason It was not posted yet.

It's a 90mm miniature from Luxumbra's range (based on Infinity the game). I remember it was a pleasure to paint and one of my fauvorite paintings last years. Hope you like it too.

Infinity Alpeh Combat group

 Hi. I want to show you that comission I painted for an Australian customer to complete his Alpeh Army. As requested, Color scheme varies a bit from the official one, but you sure know that as I painted lot fo them for the same customer in the past 2 years!

This time we have a different mix of minis, some of them very different form the usual ones.

Infinity Dakini

 The Tactical Remotes of the Special Situations Section were designed to cover a wide range of combat functions, constituting the main core of ALEPH’s intervention forces. Though the decision to use remote semi-autonomous units as the basic elements of a combat force is somewhat surprising, it is supported by ALEPH’s access to advanced state-of-the-art technologies.

This technological capacity guarantees the Tactbot’s combat programming makes their prowess equal to any human soldier in the Sphere. Their speed, stealth systems and tactical software qualify them for the highest level assaults as well as for the most specialized anti-terrorist operations. In addition, they can lead to defensive combat actions and security operations, both civil and military. The adaptability of Tactbots is a valuable resource to the S.S.S. but it is their fearless robotic nature that makes them an efficient and unstoppable force. This is why the combat remote soldiers of ALEPH were named after the Dakinis, the powerful and fierce servants of the goddess Kali.

I recently painted this mini as a batch for a private customer. This colour scheme is hard to push as it's basically white monochrome with some blue brake parts, so I decided this time to add a slightly purple reflect from one side to add a bit of warm contrast.

Tabletop quality.

Infinity Andromeda

 Andromeda (in Classical Greek: Άνδρομέδα / Androméda, which means “she who rules men”) was, in Greek mythology, an Aethiopian princess, daughter of King Cepheus. Made a victim by the excessive pride of her mother, the queen Cassiopeia, Andromeda would be chained naked to a rock as a sacrifice to the sea monster Cetus. Rescued by the hero Perseus, she would become his wife and rule by his side.

Notes from Thamyris the Aoidos to the SSS Information Service: “Andromeda, the spy who loved and almost destroyed me! As a member of ALEPH’s and the Steel Phalanx’s secret service, she is always taking risks because she knows she can live and die several times over, meaning she’ll never say no to any mission proposed to her. She loves diamonds because she knows they’re forever, but no matter how many you have you’ll never be able to buy her because not even the Human Sphere would be enough for her. Loyal to the bone, she would even commit betrayal if it would help her accomplish her mission, always confidential and highly classified. But none of this will matter once you see her, because Andromeda is a vision of beauty to die for and for whom you can‘t help but fall at her feet in worship.”

The Sophists are the Intelligence agents of the Steel Phalanx. Although in the beginning, the Phalanx relied on the Operations Sub-section, as time went by it began to gain greater relevance due to the escalating conflict against the IE; circumstances had changed. Once it started gaining a more global presence in the Paradiso theatre of operations, it became necessary to create a specific Intelligence group capable of working together with the Assault Sub-section’s operatives and their special characteristics. Andromeda is the best of the Sophists, or maybe she is just one of the best because the truth is that we don’t really know them all that well due to their duties as spies and secret agents. Just like the rest of the Homeridae, Andromeda has a splendid body, but the first thing that stands out is her eyes, mysterious and captivating, the eyes of an angel - or of a demon. Because Andromeda can be either one depending on what she considers to be convenient for accomplishing her mission. This woman thinks things through, has a clever and calculating mind, and superior tenacity similar to the most resistant Museum. She is a spy so you should never trust her. Lying is for Andromeda just as natural as breathing. And if she seems to be fragile and helpless, pay careful attention to that briefcase she carries everywhere with her. That is Cetus, her loyal, portable monster, her ace in the hole, an advantage that will tear your throat out before you are able to ask her what is going on.

I recently painted this mini as a batch for a private customer. A great mini a bit hard to build with the big mechanic dog. I tried this time to add a bit warmer colour with some purple reflect that I expect to look amazing in the table matt when playing.

Infinity Beta trooper

 Hi all.

This model was painted to fit as a Dakini one to replace them in the old Aleph army. Dakini are great models but are too fragile to play safety with them (and to ship to the other side of the world, to Australia).

We decided to use this model as is thicker and stronger. Also, we used some parts of a broken Dakini in the base. Finally, it looks very close to the original one and does its job perfectly on the army.

Wild Bill

 " I'VE DANCED WITH THE REAPER MORE'N A FEW TIMES MYSELF. NOW SHE DANCES TO MY TUNE. "

If Wild Bill is in the mix, you know there's a wager going on. The higher the risk, the sweeter his inevitable reward. A bona fide card shark and unerring gunslinger, this mysterious, anachronistic gentleman fixated on the march of time is this season's leading contender to the title of Bahadur. If you want to win big, go ahead and bet against him, but be aware: so far he hasn't lost a gamble.

Gabriele de Fersen

 Hospitaller Knight Father-Officer Gabriele De Fersen

“We don’t give or ask for quarter! Kill them all, God will recognize his own!” Attributed to Father-Officer De Fersen, Action of the Horns of Hessen, Paradiso.

Gabriele de Fersen was a young, successful programmer who enjoyed a life full of depravity and excess. However, after suffering a dramatic naval accident in which he almost died, he reconsidered his behaviour. De Fersen found God and decided to ask for admission to the Holy Order of the Temple. The Order offered him a way to sanctify his eagerness for excitement, dedicating his efforts to the works of God and allowing him to serve through his technical knowledge. De Fersen devoted himself body and soul to prepare for the holy war in the tough instruction monastery of Santiago of Neoterra, in Aquila. With the last of his savings, he paid for a combat implant, of Templar manufacture, that allows him to activate accelerated combat routines. De Fersen became a disciplined Templar Knight who received his baptism of fire in the final death rattles of the NeoColonial Wars. On the battlefield, he proved to have bullet-proof faith and confidence, as well as a touch of indomitable aggression. At the end of the conflict, he returned to Neoterra where he continued polishing his military and battle programming abilities. At that time, he had already forged a fearsome reputation as a warrior intelligent as he was fierce.

After the order of the Temple’s dissolution and the investigation into its heresy by the Holy Inquisition, De Fersen was subjected to deep questioning and scrutiny to find if he was involved in the blasphemous plot. He had to face a court-martial and voluntarily underwent an ordeal, a trial by God, from which he emerged victoriously. Once declared innocent of the charges of apostasy and artificial intelligence programming, he was allowed to transfer to the Order of the Hospital. Nevertheless, his former link with the Temple is considered as a fault and a stain on his spirit and record, meaning he will never be promoted inside his new Order beyond his current rank.

During the Ariadna Commercial Conflicts, De Fersen was posted to the Units of Mercy, those responsible for recovering the wounded from the battlefront and rescuing prisoners. The missions undertaken by the Hospitallers of Mercy are risky in the extreme, requiring maximum precision. De Fersen proved capable enough to take tactical command of these units, managing to the last detail the preparation and execution of missions. The name of De Fersen passed into the annals of the Order in the Horns of Hessen, on Paradiso, where he ambushed and destroyed a reinforcement column of the EI’s Combined Army. The time bought by De Fersen’s small Unit of Mercy allowed PanOceanian troops to destroy the main Morat force’s rearguard, rescue numerous prisoners, and capture important technical and strategic information.

KOT the Holy Sepulchre

 The Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre is stationed on Earth and is charged with acting as the last line of defence for the PanOceanian territories and sacred sites. Its members are chosen from the elite of the other Orders’ troops, as all are skilled Father-Officers. The Sepulchrist Knights, lovers of close combat, are units focused on special security and heavy assault, serving as much as an example as a challenge to all other PanOceanian officers. The Knights of the Holy Sepulchre protect Humanity’s birth and sacred places as they are considered the best of the best, and their records confirm it. In the NeoColonial Wars, during the unsuccessful Water Lily Offensive over Hong Kong, the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre’s battalion stood firm until the very end. They were commanded by Abbot-Colonel Acuña and fought like lions, holding their position until the last man from the decimated PanOceanian combat force was evacuated. Then they retreated from the battlefield in perfect combat formation. No officer from the victorious army of Yu Jing dared raise his hand against them as they withdrew. The Sepulchrist Knights left the battlefield as if they had just attended a military parade. Proud, with blue armor covering them from head to toe, and with white robes waving gently in the wind, they boarded their air transport while the Yu Jing army watched with a mixture of admiration, respect and relief.

Infinity: Helots v2.

Its native inhabitants are a semi-intelligent species: the Helots. The economy of Varuna is centred around industrial biotech firms, factories and marine farms where the Helots are the main working resource.

Other 3 Helots painted a bit different than the last time. Greyish skin, some rust on bases to add contrast and broke the blue's predominance, a bit more saturated browns...

Hope you like them!

Infinity: Croc Man

Veteran scout squads from the brutal Paradiso front. The Regiment was founded in the wake of the Ravensbrücke Retreat debacle. After evacuating the city under the pretence of a biochemical leak, several PanOceanian divisions were deployed along the urban perimeter to stop the alien advance. Tragically, they were soon overwhelmed by superior enemy numbers. In the chaotic retreat that ensued, the remains of the decimated Polynesian Division lost contact with their Command post and decided to mount a desperately fierce last stand in the Financial District, overlooking the jungle around it. Their sacrifice made it possible to evacuate the defenceless rearguard garrison and campaign hospitals. By the time they were able to regroup, eighty per cent of the Division was KIA. The survivors formed the core of the Crocodile Men Regiment. Although the Regiment is no longer composed exclusively of ethnically Maori people, they still observe the traditions of its founders, including their distinctive tattoos and subdermal piercings. Croc Men specialize in missions involving Covert Incursion, Surveillance, Tactical Recovery, and Search and Destroy in enemy territory. Their preferred MO is to appear unexpectedly, attack viciously for a moment and then withdraw back into the shadows, giving the enemy little time to react. Croc Men are known to be ferocious enemies, the kind that is best not to aggravate… at least not if you haven’t gotten around to choosing a colour for your coffin.

Another addition to the Combined Army I'm painting on commission. Croc Man is an awesome miniature very easy to paint and with one of the best-sculpted faces I found on this scale. I had a very good time painting this guy.

Infonity: Orc with feuerbach

Only the best soldiers can aspire to join the heavy infantry units that make up the Heavy Tactical Group, better known as “Orc Troops”. The nickname, Orc, originates from the name of the company that develops their combat armour, the ORC Corp. (Omnia Research Creation Corporation). The Orc Troops have earned the reputation of being veterans that always take part in the most aggressive operations. As multi-purpose heavy infantry, Orc troops are assigned to the fronts of the most intensive battles, to establish the toughest line of resistance, and to try and break through the enemy lines.

Font: Human Sphere.

As another complement of the infinity combined army, I'm painting as commission, this Orc is one of the funniest miniatures I painted recently. Cold tones are a priority here, also an intense blue was a requirement. 

Hope you like it.

Infinity: Helots

Its native inhabitants are a semi-intelligent species: the Helots. The economy of Varuna is centered around industrial biotech firms, factories and marine farms where the Helots are the main working resource.

Another Infinity Commission work. 3 Helots to add to the combined army I'm painting for a customer. 

Infinity: HAC TAO

The name of the Hac Tao Special Intervention Unit can be translated as “Black Magic”, and refers to the camouflage and thermal emission dampener technologies of their armours. Brave, lethal and trustworthy, Hac Tao are known to tread very lightly and hit very hard. The function of this well-trained unit is usually enemy interdiction, with a focus on dealing the maximum amount of damage with their actions. Hac Tao are specifically equipped to carry out Harassment and Elimination missions, but can also provide support in broad-scope special operations, and collateral activities that include Direct Action, internal defence, and combat search and rescue operations.

From: Human Sphere

Hi guys. Another Infinity Commission, a blister of HAC TAO units, a couple of armoured guys very cool to paint on from Yu Jing Army.

Hope you like them.
