From VictorK - There is a world... (30 Points)

Hello there from (not so) snowy Saint-Petersburg, Russia!

This is my first try in participating in Challange. I've heard of it from one of the fellow bloggers, AlexS, the way he described this activity was really encouraging to take part.

Having set a fairly reasonable amount of points (500), I thought I would paint mostly my antique 15mm romans, but things went their way (as they always do).

We're playing lots of pen-and-paper RPGs with my friends, one of them is lasting for more than year of real time. Recently we decided to start using miniatures for combat. The setting is Sci-Fi, the year 2500, humanity is spreading, corporations and governments are taking almost the same part in controlling the universe. Story of the party is taking place on Frontier - the youngest colonized worlds on the border of humanity.

This miniatures (except one) are for one of corporations - "Serenity" (It's impossible not to use this name in Sci-Fi, if you know about "Firefly"), which was one of the opponents for the party. Sorry for the quality of photos. Miniatures used are Corvus Belli's Infinity - Nomads faction, they look quite "advanced".

4 figures from the left are regular "security specialists", "operators" and "combatants" of corporation. Next to them is the powerhouse of the Frontier - power armor.

The last figure is one of the party members (me). Former pilot in "Serenity", Roxanne de Leon left the corporation to save her brother, who made some anti-corporate things. Now she is the captain of the pirate spaceship, owner of the private military company ("daughter" of "Serenity") and she is eager to explore the world.

The last word would be about bases. We decided to use transparent bases with some etching to give it a "Sci-fi" flavour.

Next miniatures to paint would be some Roxanne's crew members - pirates, even more corporates and some regular street bandits (which are no match for space pirates, Yaaarrr!)

I wish good luck to all of you, and a happy New Year!

Hello Victor and welcome to the Challenge! It's great to have you with us for the first time. It's not snowing here in Sydney, Australia either but it's 40C so I think you're likely to see snow before I do.

I'm a huge fan of Firefly / Serenity and I'm really impressed by your take on the setting and how you've translated that to your paintwork. I've not seen any of the Corvus Belli Infinity miniatures before but I like what I see here and you've done them justice with the brush.

So that's 30 points to kick off your tally mate. Well done!

Cheers,
Millsy
