This chap is the lieutenant for my force, a heavily armoured samurai who beats face on the tabletop with his chain rifle and samurai sword. I fielded him for the first time a few days ago in a game using the new rules and profiles, and he was an absolute beast! His high close combat skills and martial arts really helped him to slaughter his way through my opponents force, before dying a glorious death. No seppuku here :)
The colour scheme is still linked to the other Yu Jing models I have painted, but this guy has alot more armour and no cloth to paint. The challenge was to make him fit in with the colour placement on the armour, but I think I managed to pull it off ok. I added more green to the gun to try and make it a bit more interesting, but I have to be honest, I struggle a little bit to paint green for some reason, and on reflection I am not entirely happy with the result. It will have to do, practise makes perfect! I think the next Infinity model I work on I will pay even more attention to the gun. The green definitely needs more gradients & subtlety in its shading, and the metal on the gun also needs some time and highlights spent on it. I sure am learning a lot from painting these though :)
NafNaf out!
