Defiance
With great power comes great responsibility. The Heroes
So I started painting this last week. I got over my sulk at Luxumbra. Yes I want it and no I won’t be getting it but I may make my own, now this design is cannon. Don’t know why this pissed me off so much, as an old art lecturer said to me. “Everything is post modern”, there is no longer any original ideas only iterations of the grand narrative. Don’t think about this too much or you will top yourself. But I did find some comfort in this and pressed ahead.
The models are great I have checked over all of them to ensure all the parts and models were present. This took some organising. This may be a board game but in all honesty a board gamer would find this quite difficult and would need to spend ours on learning before cleaning up and assembling wargaming models if never done before.
I did get one miscast. this is my first in 400+ models from CB. I would have complained or moaned but it was a model I have a second cope of I like better. that makes their error rate for me is 0.25 which is better than any other model company I have used. looks to me like a temperature issue on the mould or the metal and CB I’m sure would have replaced the part if I had contacted them. Instead I chose to spend 6 hours painting the model.
Enough pish, here’s the models.
Uma - I dont know why but this model didn't do much for me. I love the Scheme enjoyed painting it when I got started but it's a bit meh. I am hoping she is kick ass in the game though. (I have still only played the demo version twice to see if I had feedback during the KS)
Cadin - I do love myself a Wulven. I repainted his skin 3 times. Under that is a delicately shaded correctly shaded muscle structure. Twice... Id didnt look right. He must have muscles like Conan, it does look better from the top but yeah, correctly painted muscles made him look like a cherub. 
Jazz, this model seemed simple but it was actually fun to paint red again. along with some subtle freehand. Still think that pose without the air computer makes them look like they are trying to make someone's head explode from a few meters away. 
Qiang - I didn't like this model to start but it grew to be my favourite. Not Surprising being Yu Jing. it was a challnage to paint around the miscast I left the bottom section of the ammo belt in shadow and to 80% of people I'm sure they would never see it unless I pointed it out. This model was painted with 7 colours. one of which was green fluorescent. This is why I love Yu King and yellow. So much drama from such a limited pallet. I would recommend seeing the Lloyd show below. I do like my nmm which is rare for me.
Rahman - Love this guy. Always good to have a doctor. and the uniform give the option to add a lot of texture on the back. 
Trisha - Again another lovely model. This one reminds me of my wife with an eyepatch. I do think the uniform could have been more defined in terms of detail but this may have been my ability at seeing the detail. A challenging paint as well. I have never painted any Aleph models before, this is the only one I own outside of cross overs. I almost bought Coldfront from Ebay. But then I realised I have enough to paint. 
Agnes - A fond memory from the kick starter as it closed. Everyone was putting in #prayforagnes in the chat. This felt like it was only one of two late additions from CB where they had no art and this was a fan request which they honoured. It's a lovely pilot model. She looks cool and collected and ready to fly. 
This feels like a milestone. Even though I have 3 remotes, 4 alternate sculpted heroes to do, 27 Shasvastii and the Megalodron to finish. At least I have started. I may batch paint sections of the models each section should be a post here. 16% isn’t that bad a start. And I think I have enough models to proxy a game of defiance if the opportunity comes base I’m finished.
I am also still waiting on infinity LoF bases being delivered as I much prefer having them for playing infinity with the models. I do have plans of adding coloured rings without he stull that came in the box.
Next up is the remotes. If you are painting these I would advise doing it at the same time as the hero’s my pallet has changed two times since some of them were painted making this a bore to try and remember what colours I used.
More to come.
