I feel you man. It's why I don't have more 3rd party or even FW toys as when I have spare cash GW is dropping such shiny shiny goodness I just haz to gets it!


A civilian Tau outpost would be awesome! Like an earth caste mining compound or a water caste trading post maybe even a neutral ground delegation centre.... lots of ideas, so little time!

Taxi! I really like this model. I just wish I could use it for more than just an objective...

I've got one Tactical squad left then I'm going to have attack my bits box again and see what more I can build. I think though I have two more Landraiders to paint next to add to the space wolves I painted for a client.
