BULABOK CITY CARS, KURIPOT PERSONAL TRANSPORTS AND TARUCA MOTORBIKES JOIN THE TERRAIN COLLECTION
Ready for the
tournament at the start of the month, I painted a large number of vehicles for my Neon City board. These were bought from Antenociti's Worksop, one of the premier sources for Infinity-appropriate terrain. I have written about their products in the past, and always found them to be high quality sculpts that painted up nicely. As you can see, they were a lot of fun to paint, and very easy with just the right amount of detail for terrain - not too much to distract the eye or take up too much time painting, but enough to look great on the tabletop.
This kind of scatter terrain really brings a table to life, and though it might not provide much in the way of blocking firelanes and covering flanks, it makes a board interesting and may even play a pivotal role in giving a lone model a much-needed cover bonus. Filling the streets with cars, abandoned or otherwise, adds a narrative element and also improves the gaming experience.
I will not be writing much more in this post, suffice to say that I think these models were worth the investment and will be featuring on my urban boards a lot in the future!

Nomads utilise the vehicles of the Neon City to cover their advance |
|
Ideal height for the Alguacil! |
|
The "parked" Bulabok City Cars are upright to take up less space, and so also provide a higher silhouette for the discerning soldier seeking cover |
|
Purple, red and olive green bring some colour to the table |
|
The "driving" Bulabok City Cars were painted in yellow, turquoise and blue. I always struggle with yellow, and painted the mistakes as damage and weathering (from battle or otherwise) |
|
Contrasting colours on the headlights were fun to paint - I really enjoy working on lenses, lights and windows.
The windows on the vehicles were painted in a similar manner to my method for painting the ocean - using the same colours but with far finer lines and sparing highlights. I like the effect a lot, as you might be able to tell! Gloss varnish before the final varnish gives a subtle sheen |

The Bulabok City Cars together |
|
The Eco Pangit City Cars are a little more detailed, and look good with a two-tone colour scheme |
|
These models will provide good cover for an infantry model |
|
Painting the silver on the "red" City Car was a lengthy process! I am not well versed in Non-Metallic Metal |
|
The Taruca Motorbikes offer something a little more exciting for the driver of the future |
|
The bases are not integral, but I chose to use them to stabilise the miniature. They were painted to match the grey roads of my urban board |
|
Some of the oddest models in the range, the Kuripot Personal Transports are simple, one-person vehicles |
|
Compact, but with a surprising amount of storage! |
|
The entire motor pool together - nice and colourful, with a blend of futuristic cars, industrial machinery and rugged military-style vehicles |
Thanks for reading,

Wow man, wow. I found your blog searching around for infinity terrain images, you absolutely knock it out of the park with all of your stuff (especially the Nomads, amazing). Consider me subscribed (when it will let me).
