Agema, Captain of the Lachrymose and assorted crew.

For a while, about a decade ago, I was quite the fan of Infinity and played it. Or tried to, as the game was so bastard complex that we gave up in puzzlement and condemned frustration. Then they released a new edition (3rd) which went further down the rabbit hole and we cashed out.

................only, I held on to my models, many of which were unpainted and in blisters (as ever), and I even bought a couple now and then over the years.

Cue Stargrave coming along. Perfect - I always knew a stash of sci fi models would be handy at some point. 

So here we are - the crew of the Lachrymose, commanded by Agema. Essentially yr hardened vets who didn't return to society after a decade killing people on order of their government, so decided to do the same as guns for hire and make full use of the skills and equipment they had developed.

Satisfyingly easy to paint - enamel washes really do a lot of the heavy lifting for me nowadays, as I'm enjoying painting to order rather than being on the production line (I've broken the back of my collection, as its about 80% fully painted now).

Used them once and did very respectable business, but not the biggest sci fi person around, so it'll be a month or two before they see table again. Still, nice to be done after many years in the undercoat of shame.

Box of Shame #2 - Mahdist Wars Ansar

Some productive time spent on getting some serious infantry work under my (ever expanding, thanks Lockdown!) belt. 

First up - Ansar. Very simple really, and had been a fair bit of the stuff I've had kicking around for an age. More or less there with these, with some cavalry and assorted bits left, but that won't take too long

Heres my Beja which I finished around 18 months ago and have taken the field once before:

Here it is all together and ready to go:

Box of Shame #1 - Plaguebearers

Open the box of shame.......whats on top? Ah, Plaguebearers. Easy to build, easy to paint.

Done. These had been kicking around since Nov 2018, which is why they were relatively close to the top.

Think I'll have to knock back the ochre on the bases, looking at it, as its a bit lurid. (....who am I kidding, thats not happening now, is it??)
