Home of the Ghostlords

I painted 3 models in March, which is a really high turnover for me.  The monthly painting challenge threads on the main Infinity forums have been really motivating, and I’m also going to be doing a two-month painting contest in April/May on Data-Sphere.

I did one of the new Daturazi; I’m fairly happy about how he came out, but I had some issues going back and forth on how much shading he needed to give good muscular definition.

Due to some paint bottles drying out, I had to make some substitutions from my normal color selection.

Morat skin

• base: Vallejo Carmine Red
• highlight: P3 Khador Red Highlight
• shadow: P3 Sangine Base

Armor

• base: Vallejo Charcoal Grey
• highlight: Vallejo Medium Grey
• shadow: Vallejo Black

Pants

• Vallejo Game Color Shadow Grey
• highlight/shadow: none!  I’m open to suggestions that would be a good tonal match.  All my shading attempts have looked bad.

Accessories

• base: Vallejo Red Violet
• highlight: Vallejo Carmine Red
• shadow: Vallejo Black

Glowy stuff

• Everything is painted starkly black/white, and then repeatedly glazed with a mix of 1:1:1 P3 blue ink / matte medium / water

I’ve got a number of Tohaa models painted, but these are the first I’ve posted online.  I finished an old, half-painted Sakiel from last year’s escalation league and then did a Chaksa Auxiliar with HFT from scratch.  I continue not particularly liking the Chaksa sculpts.

My Tohaa scheme was intended to be very speed-paint friendly.  Everything is just a solid base coat + wash.  I gave them a very naturalistic color scheme due to the large amount of horns, spears and so forth that they have.  They come off as a very primitive aesthetic to me, with lots of horned skull helmets and degenerate beast-man companions in the Chaksa.
