If you can't beat them, buy them.

Tohaa are my bugbear in Infinity games. This alien faction is completely...............alien to me. So, a recent birthday allowed me to invest in a new faction and attempt to learn how to combat this most mysterious of enemies. For a starting point I bought the Tohaa Starter Pack, a box of Chaksa Auxiliaries, the Kaauri Sentinels blister, and for my HVT, the O-12 High Commissioner. I have yet to play them, but I was determined to build and paint them before hitting the battlefield with them.


Above: All the Models done. The bases were made using a Gamesworkshop Age of an Sigma basing box, Warlord Games Summer Grass and Army Painter Meadow Flowers.

Above: Nikoul, Kotail, and O-12.

I have really enjoyed building and painting this small force. Time will tell, if the additions to the starter box models will have been a good choice.

As ever, continue to wargame well

  2. Alex, how did you build your photo background? The plain white background, showing no corners. I have seen the PDF GW did about how to take photos, but would be interested to see what yours looks like and how you made it.

    2. Waiting with avid interest. Pics of my minis always look moderately awful :P

    3. Amit, I would guess it's a sheet of white paper placed underneath and behind (curving up, so no sharp edges).
      As long as you prop it behind, it will turn out decently

    1. I cannot deny the truth. Despite my best efforts I still get paint all over the shop.
