Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Showcase: Sophotects and Yudbots for the Imperial Service

Sophotects, in the Infinity world, are from the faction ALEPH. Basically living robots, you know, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" type stuff.

The Sophotects are technical support and immediate reaction medical operatives. They are designed, trained and equipped to keep ALEPH’s personnel and equipment working both during their own and combined operations. Their original designation was Rbhu, the minor Vedic gods of great wisdom and ability, but the nickname they have received is Sophotect (The Classical Greek name for “Wisdom Creator”). Sophotects are based on the Deva model Lhosts, into which they download Aspects knowledgeable in medicine, arms, engineering, and military electronics.

The Yudbots (which I call Ugly Ducklings) are basically the remotes for the Sophotect. Going into areas that are to dangerous for the Sophotect to go, or simply having her be able to perform her job at a distance through them.

I also wanted to thank Tom Schadle for the paint scheme idea, his are just beautifully done, and until you try yourself with a brush you'll never experience how good his are as these models are so dainty.

I've also discovered painting white TOTALLY sucks. I hated painting this, and not totally satisfied with it, could have done blending better, yet at the same time I am happy with what I did. I know, it makes no sense.

This was my last and final model for the paint and play challenge my club is planning for November 23rd. I got it done just in time, as I will not, most likely, have time to paint in the next few weeks as I will be taking care of some personal family business.

So until next time enjoy the pics.....







Cheers
Kevin
