Nomad Salyut EVO Zond

The second remote i currently have for my Corregidor lists is a Salyut EVO Zond. This guy provides some additional hacking support  as well as an additional specialist. 

I painted him in roughly the same was as the LunoKhod Sputnik, but i mist admit that i struggled a bit with the black pods on its back. I just couldn't decide which way to go with the black tones here, so I copped out and just edge highlighted them! I'll have to go back and take a second look at those at some point. 

Painting aside its a great model!

Nomad Intruder with Multi Sniper Rifle

Although there was already an Intruder with Multi Sniper Rifle model prior to the Beyond Icestorm set, i was rather taken with this version! Both models are cool,  this one i think is just a little more bad ass! 

As you can probably see, the paint work is slightly different than the other Intruder you saw last week. There was quite a time gap between the tow models being painted, so this one did benefit from the more recent painting lessons I'd learnt. That's miniature painting i guess!

Nomad Intruder with Combi Rifle

This is one of the earlier models i painted up for the Corregidor which i just never got around to posting on here. While i am pleased with it, i feel that it doesn't benefit from some of the lesions i learnt later on. Also, i think i spray varnished it twice thinking i hadn't in the first place! Whoops!

Sadly this guy hasn't yet found a spot in my lists, but i think an extra Intruder will always be useful!

Nomad Hellcat with Spitfire

This rather awesome model is from the Beyond Icestorm boxed set which came out last year. The model itself kind of determined its inclusion in my current Corregidor lists! To be honest though, you cant go far wrong with a Spitfire!

Everything about the painting of this model just went right for me! The moon must  have been in the correct cycle, the right words of power spoken, to produce a model i was this happy with! I learnt  a lot of lesions painting it, which i have begun to apply to my other models. 

I hope you enjoy him as much as i did!

Nomad Themed Infinity Tournament Tray

I got my first tournament box for Infinity around the time i started collecting my Corregidor, so it made sense to paint it up in a Nomad theme (sorry Aleph, you'll have to wait!) 

I bought this off a mate you had an extra one (for some reason!) but the box itself is from a company called Black Sheep (I think!) in the States. Its a cracking box, and fits perfectly into a Battlefoam Infinity bag as well!

The box was painted using an airbrush mainly, and follows the same recipe as the bases i've used for my Corregidor. 

I bought the Nomad and Corregidor stencil sets from Custom Meeple which helped give the box a bit of character!

The underside of the top tray of the box can be flipped over to reveal a model  tray.

There are three compartments to the box, the top tray (above), then a middle tray for your token's etc. The the last compartment at the bottom is for your larger items like templates.

Finally here's a few WIP pics i snapped. As with all MDF products there are a lit of join marks where the pieces fit together. I decided to fill these in to give the box a smoother finish. 

The most stressful part of the painting, the hazard stripes!! Fortunately they come out great!

Nomad Mobile Brigada

Welcome readers to 2018! I hope you all had a fantastic new year!

I thought i'd start the new year off with some of my favourite Nomad models, the Mobile Brigada! Even before i started collecting Nomads these models really stood out for me. So when i started planning my Corregidor force, i knew at least one of my list had to have a Mobile Brigada link team in it! 

Multi Rifle Brigada. This one is from the Nomad starter set.

Boarding Shotgun Brigada. This guy actually proxies as a Multi Rifle at Operation Firestorm II.

Mobile Brigada Hacker. This lovely lady was able to provide the link with some anti hacker protection by using Fairy Dust on the link.

Finally the Brigada with HMG!

The Brigada with Heavy Rocket Launcher is currently unpainted, but she will definitely feature in future lists to take that Brigada link up to the full 5! Ouch!
