Hi everyone,
So from today I am going back to work on some of my Infinity miniatures - namely Haqqislam!
For anyone who has been following this blog, you know that this is the third phase of my Haqqislam project. For this phase I chose another ten figures to paint up. This time around, my choice depended on figures I am currently playing.
The line up are both Azra'ils, two Naffatun, two Ghulam with missile launcher and heavy machine gun, two Nasmat remotes, a Hunzakut and Leila Sharif.
On this post I will start with the Azra'ils, simply because I really like the models. Game-wise, they are not very good unless you are playing with the Qapu Khali Sectorial Army. Point for point, the Al Fasids are a better buy by far, but the Azra'ils are cheaper for what they do and I am trying to make them work in my force.
So to begin I gave them an undercoat followed by a base-coat and then I airbrushed the highlights on. At this point, I worked on both of them, but I decided to go one at a time from this point on.
The next step was to paint on the details like the flesh, the gun metal and the red parts of the armour. This is probably the most time consuming part of the whole process.
At this point I start with the the lowlights; adding shades with washes - followed by extra highlights on the top-most parts of the model. The final job was on the metal. This also is a very laborious endeavor that took a lot of time to finish.
The model is now finally done to a very good tabletop level and I am quite happy with it. I painted up the machine gunner first because I prefer him to the Feuerbach gunner in game terms - but they are both great looking models though.
Below are a few extra shots of the finished Azra'il with the other Azra'il that I will continue in the next post.
So until next week, farewell and good health to one and all.
