Perfect Painting Procrastination Plan

 Per my last post, I have 450 or so Napoleonic French figures to paint. So obviously I need to get straight on to that and start painting. But just as obviously as this is too big a job to do and so I must find something easier to do to put it off for a little while but still feel productive.

My purchases earlier in the year included some eight different Sci Fi infantry packs that I was going to test paint and this is the perfect excuse to do something without actually being very productive. So here they are with their Pendraken name and imagined paint scheme. All painted with contrast paints.

Each has been painted with an idea of a different force in mind, taken from various movies or genres.

Probably not that interesting to anyone but a useful resource for me 😁

Theocracy Regular Infantry .... Painted as dystopian soldiers somewhere in the wastes. The lighter brown scheme is good the darker one not so much.

Collective Power Infantry... Painted as a regular force for a dystopian nightmare. Both the grey and green look OK, although the grey is probably a better fit for the theme.

Collective Regular Infantry... More dystopian forces. Both come up OK with the brown for the waste lands and the grey for the cities.

Free States Regular Infantry... Finally something different. Movie themes. Aliens and Starship Soldiers, In green they look good for the marines in Aliens and in grey OK for the marines in Starship Troopers

Emperical Regular Infantry .... Tried to paint them for advanced Prussian and British VSF, but not a good result and better just using my existing forces.

Corporate Regular Infantry.... a bit of a China theme here. In grey it looks ok but the red is not great.

Emperical Power Infantry.... painted for star wars proxies, the black is not good as any detail is lost,  but the white comes off ok.

Griffon Regular Infantry... more potential star wars infantry in white are good, not so sure about the grey for starship troopers although some detail comes out clearer.

Matching the cards to the Pendraken names.

Anyway a useful bit of time spent and gives me something to think about as I work through the French Napoleonic hordes 😂
