Chunky does Corregidor

So I am pretty new to this game, only having started to play in April. I started out playing Haqqislam, and quite like them, yet here I am already having changed factions before I even really know the game. Why?
Its all Operation Icestorms fault. I tend to get all of the starter sets in every game I play eventually, so that I can use them to give new players intro games. Combine that with the terrain you get and I was always going to purchase Icestorm. At the same time, while I was enjoying my Haqqislam on the gaming table, I was frustrated with how my painting of them was going.
Then I decided to paint the Nomad starter, since some of the models work for QK, and I was super happy with how they turned out, using zenithal shading then a ton of purple airbrush glazes to produce a really nice purple colour. In that time, I had also noticed the large gap in model quality between older Infinity models and the newer ones. Having been burnt with the Naffatuns being one of my first purchases then almost immediately superseded with better minis, I decided to go looking for the faction I felt was the most future proof in terms of models.
I really like all of the various Cat models in Corregidor, and the Alguaciles and Tag options are also really sweet, so I decided to switch to Corregidor and my painting motivation has been going well ever since. You can see photos of those minis in my painting thread http://www.data-sphere.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2905
So in this intro post, I will make a list of models by different categories - Painted, Owned, and Wanted (these are more near future wants - I'm sure I'll get most things eventually) - I will try and keep these updated. My intention will be to prioritise models going into my lists in that order.
