Time for something a little more flashy than my terrible sketches!

I absolutely loved putting this thing together and the more I read about and looked at this model the more I liked it!

The Breaches are also fantastic just enough changes over a Striker team to make them interesting. My biggest problem though was the armoured plates on the legs have very shallow detail and it makes it difficult over-brush with my painting technique.. Still Tau troops are always a joy for me to paint. :)

I'll have Crisis suits and Remoras up next!

I've finally gotten around to painting my Remoras. I love these models and I can't wait to get more of them in the future!

I have some Crisis suits up next and Dreadnoughts. I'm still not sure my order of battle yet!

Thanks Angelwing.

I've been working on something a little bit late in the coming... I've finally made the final member for my Farsight 8 unit. I present to you Commander Brave Storm.

Image

Also as it's been so long since I posted the rest of the squad I though I'd take a new group shot will the whole gang.

Image

I've also got a mood shot I'd quite like to share.

Image

I quite like the paint scheme and once my main T'au cadre is "finished" I may start to add more black units to my army.

Thanks guys I'm taking a little time out for an other forums anual challenge. This year we are tasked with creating a new Tau units to fill any foce org slot, apart from Lords of War... So I'm going fortification and having a units of 4 remote sentury towers. One large with Tiger shark Rail cannons and 3 smaller with quad (old style) broadside rail rifles. Part of the rules is I'm unable to publish any pictures until entry to keep everything all fair... I may have even said to much already!

I've also got to make a data sheet and crate some background for it... Lots to do before the end of this month!

I finally got around to painting a few editions I got for Christmas.

I've been busy building Blood Angel terminators this afternoon. I have 10 with lightening claws, 6 with thunder hammers, and 10 with guns... Two with assault cannons.... I also have a spare Sargent, a cyclone missile launcher guy, and two heavy flamer dudes.. So I have some options. I also have also built Karlaen and two Librarians in terminator armour. I have my work cut out for me!

Yeah their Tau models are far to nice not to own at least a few of. These will take my collection to 3 so far... I have plans for many more though! I've obviously done a weapon swap on the lady and added a pistol to the samurai just to help tie them in with the rest of my army.
