Impetuous Orders: Sexism in miniature - The worst of Infinity

http://impetuousorders.blogspot.com/2012/04/sexism-in-miniature-worst-of-infinity.html

Monday, 23 April 2012. Sexism in miniature - The worst of Infinity. Wargames and wargame miniatures have a problem. It's a problem shared with roleplaying, video gaming, comics, and every other form of media aimed at the young male demographic. It's an old problem, heavily entrenched, and one that is almost guaranteed to start scorched-earth level flame wars. The problem being that wargame miniatures are, generally, sexist as all hell. No, see, she's an undercover vice operative and.". I'm going to ignor...

Impetuous Orders: Sexism in miniature 2 - It's not all bad

http://impetuousorders.blogspot.com/2012/05/sexism-in-miniature-2-its-not-all-bad.html

Wednesday, 2 May 2012. Sexism in miniature 2 - It's not all bad. In a previous post. I went over the worst offenders. In the Infinity line, and generally groused about how sculptors seem to design female figures as sex objects first and everything else second. Today I thought I'd point out the figures that show that it's entirely possible to sculpt kickass women without inexplicably removing half their uniform and/or posing them in some weird knock-kneed stance. This isn't a "well done, Corvus Belli!

Impetuous Orders: September Oath Complete - Part Two

http://impetuousorders.blogspot.com/2012/10/september-oath-complete-part-two.html

Wednesday, 3 October 2012. September Oath Complete - Part Two. Because this month was a Quarterly Prize month on the Something Awful Oath Thread. Extra prizes were up for grabs if we painted markers of some kind. Turn markers, objective markers, wreck markers, camo markers, whatever. This ain't no place for no hero. Because I already had a fine set of camo tokens. From Warmill, I decided to paint up some objective markers for my Haq forces *. The finished result - while a bit messy in places - looks grea...

Impetuous Orders: A budget lightbox and a birthday haul

http://impetuousorders.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-budget-lightbox-and-birthday-haul.html

Monday, 12 November 2012. A budget lightbox and a birthday haul. This weekend I discovered that you can make a more that serviceable lightbox out of a white plastic bowl and a single swing-arm lamp. Not only is it super easy to set up and use, but it appears to work better than my (probably over-large) "proper" light-tent. Plastic bowl on the left, light-tent on the right. Made out pretty well in the miniatures department for my birthday, my partner picked me up the Hazmat team from Hasslefree. November'...

Impetuous Orders: How to assemble a Kameel Remote - part 1

http://impetuousorders.blogspot.com/2013/01/how-to-assemble-kameel-remote-part-1.html

Tuesday, 22 January 2013. How to assemble a Kameel Remote - part 1. Kameel Remotes are some of the best miniatures in the Haqqislam faction, and arguably in the entire Infinity range. They are also, as I found out recently, a complete bastard to assemble. Look at them, all smug and Tachikoma. A scalpel or craft knife. A small hand drill. A small metal file. Brass rods (for pinning). Epoxy Putty (aka Greenstuff). The legs with the dome rest on top of the other pair, there's a cross-shaped groove/slot on e...

Impetuous Orders: September 2012

http://impetuousorders.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 25 September 2012. That's it, I give up. It's just a jump to the left! What is this I don't even. Is she dancing? Why would a diplomat dress like that? You know what, I got nothin. The figure speaks for itself. Especially when compared to all the other new releases. Wednesday, 19 September 2012. Labels: alternate color scheme. Monday, 10 September 2012. September Oath in progress. Unlike most of the painting Ive been doing recently, I started with a black undercoat.  I then gave the ent...160; T...

Impetuous Orders: November Oath WIP

http://impetuousorders.blogspot.com/2012/11/november-oath-wip.html

Tuesday, 6 November 2012. Well, my Dark Vengeance Chaos Lord finally arrived, just in time for me to Oath something completely different for November. The winner of the Infinity quarterly prize decided that it should probably go to someone that actually plays the game, so a special challenge was added for November. I won with my Fire Imp. From Hasslefree, and a Hassassin Mujib. To qualify for the Infinity prize. Not much to say about the Muyib, just standard base coats for now. I've done a little mor...

Impetuous Orders: May 2012

Thursday, 31 May 2012. I had far less painting time than usual this month, so it was a bit of a struggle getting everything done. But theyre finished, and just in time. Labels: alternate color scheme. Wednesday, 23 May 2012. Combat heels are really, really stupid. Back in this post. DAMN YOU CORVUS BELLI, YOU WERE SO CLOSE. Friday, 18 May 2012. More May Oath work in progress. Its like a George Lucas movie in here! Monday, 7 May 2012. May Oath and basic painting tips. What a terrible picture. Today I thou...

Impetuous Orders: October odds and ends

http://impetuousorders.blogspot.com/2012/10/october-odds-and-ends.html

Monday, 15 October 2012. October odds and ends. So much for October. The Dark Vengeance Chaos Lord I won on ebay is still in the post, but since it's already half way though October, I won't have time to Oath it. Mine isn't going to look half as good as this. It's a shame, I was really looking forward to getting a Nurgle color scheme on what is frankly a gorgeous miniature. Like making creepy masks. This is as far as I got. To be eligible for prizes, you have to oath at least three 28mm figures - unless ...

Impetuous Orders: June 2012

http://impetuousorders.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 13 June 2012. I am the god of hellfire, and I bring you. Fire in the disco! Fire in the disco! Fire in the. Taco Bell! Back in this post. I had some work-in-progress shots on a Tzeench Horror that I had converted into something I called a Lava Imp.  There was no sign of it in the May Oath Complete. Post, but I did finish the little devil, and ended up winning a prize for it! Thursday, 7 June 2012. Warmill Jewel Bases - Followup. Found my review, and sent me this email;. Wednesday, 6 June 2012.
