Icestorm Nomads Done!

Well, it's been a long... err... several months but my Operation: Icestorm Nomads are finally complete. They've been out for their first few demo games now and have performed admirably against their PanOceania counterparts.

There's not going to be too much blurb today, just lots of pics of painted models!

I thought they'd never be finished!

Infinity - Escalation League Round 2

The first round of the Vanguard Escalation League has been well received with 8 people having completed the first round missions. It's been great to have people down playing (multiple times) each week and everyone seems to be getting to grips with the game.

A lot was learnt by new and experienced players alike. In particular Stealth and Suppressive Fire have had huge impacts on all of our games and finding ways to to deal with these abilities has been key.

So with the new round kicking off on Monday, I present to you the Round 2 missions.

Two new Alguaciles join the fray and a Spektr lurks in the background...

Painting the Enemy

This is embarrassingly overdue, but I've finally started painting up my Nomads from Icestorm. I want to get the entire force completed for the Excelsior Infinity Day I'll be running on 7th February where it will be one of the available demo armies - along with my Aleph, Haqq and PanO. If you are in the Bristol area on that day then please do come down and say hi!

I started work on the female alguacile first because she has a more 'open' pose, with her arms outstretched. The two male models have their guns held in both hands across the front of their bodies which makes painting trickier.

Sorry that the gun is a little out of focus though - it was a bit of a photography fail and I used terrible lighting. I'm going to get a lightbox of some kind sorted out soon. Also, I managed to leave a horrible mould line on the front of her right boot which I hate myself for a bit...

She needs a name, any ideas?
